All behold the jibarito: a sandwich that melds the Caribbean flavor of Puerto Rico with the creativeness of Chicago's food history. Adapted in Humboldt Park in the '90s, this iconic sandwich layers thinly sliced steak, grilled onions, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and just a smear of mayo in between smashed twice-fried plantains.

The impact of the jibarito is seen in cities all over the country, and comes in a bunch of other variations, from shrimp to vegan to lechón. Here are our favorite ones in the city.
