Medha Imam: Fresh plantains fried, smashed,

topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and thinly sliced

marinated steak that melts in your mouth,

It's the way this tender steak and fresh ingredients

that makes the jibarito a legend in Chicago.

The jibarito is a Puerto Rican-inspired sandwich,

which is home to one of the largest populations

you'll find plenty of restaurants serving jibaritos,

but the local favorite is Jibaritos y Más.

Medha: This is one of the best sandwiches

Medha: Jibaritos y Más offers several versions

But the most popular version is the steak jibarito.

Medha: To start off, the meat is stewed for 30 minutes

in a mixture of garlic, onion, adobo, and seasoning.

Medha: The plantains are fried for seven minutes,

pressed into a flat sheet, then fried again

Medha: The next layer is your meat of choice

I mean, like I said, I've tried the pork. I love it.

Customer: Yeah, 'cause it's right down the street

Medha: Jibaritos y Más makes all types of jibaritos.

The one that I have today is the shrimp jibarito.

The first thing I immediately smell is the garlic.

Twice-frying the plantain really does make this

crunchy and crispy, exactly what you would want.

And also, also, the garlic that really hits you

there's the soft, supple shrimp in between,

and then you have the crunch of the lettuce,

started 20 years ago when she first arrived in the US

and started working in local Puerto Rican restaurants.
