This Humboldt Park eatery is nothing fancy -- ceiling fans, not air conditioners, provide ventilation -- but the authentic Puerto Rican dishes more than make up for it. The speciality of the house is the jibarito sandwich, which features your choice of steak, roast pork, white or dark chicken meat, vegetables or ham, plus cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo and mashed garlic, with two pieces of fried plantain where the bread should be.
