Restaurante El Jibarito - Puerto Rican restaurant in La Grange - 4205 KY-146, USA

Excellent Puerto Rican restaurant, thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Very small place but the service was fabulous and by the owner who was a joy to speak with. She gave us explanations of her dishes and recommendations. We had the Tripleta Boricua sandwich with fries and the El Jibarito sandwich (served on fried plantain) with rice and cup of beans which were delicious. Looking forward to our next visit and hopefully soon. They also have an outdoor patio for warmer weather dining. Nice selection of cocktails, beer, and drinks, some of her cocktails such as the Coquito are made in house as well as homemade desserts ready to take home, all looked awesome! Serves breakfast as well.

It's so great to find a little piece of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 in Kentucky. The food is so great. I would taste everything in the Menu. It feels like home. Maria, thank you. You Rock!!

We absolutely loved everything about this restaurant, food, island drinks and service was amazing. I plan on coming back tonight, since my trip to Puerto Rico tomorrow is now cancelled due to flooding and ocean conditions 🥹😭 See you soon 🇵🇷❤️

Exceded my expectations!! Everything has that authentic Puertorrican touch. I’ve tried puertorrican food in multiple States, but this one takes the cake.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Puerto Rican restaurant, and I must say, it was quite a delightful experience. The highlight of the visit was undoubtedly the food, which managed to transport my taste buds straight to the colorful streets of Puerto Rico. The flavors were rich, vibrant, and authentically representative of the island's culinary traditions. From the succulent mofongo to the flavorful arroz con gandules, each dish was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication. The atmosphere of the restaurant further enhanced the entire dining affair. The decor exuded a warm and inviting tropical vibe, complete with vibrant colors, rustic wooden furniture, and tasteful cultural accents. Live music playing in the background added a touch of festivity to the evening, making it feel like a mini vacation. However, it's worth noting that the service I received from the server was somewhat average. While they were polite and attentive, there were a few instances where the service felt a bit disjointed, and it took a little longer than expected to get our orders in and receive some attention throughout the meal. Despite this, it didn't detract significantly from the overall enjoyment of the evening. In conclusion, the Puerto Rican restaurant offers a truly delightful experience that captures the essence of Puerto Rico's vibrant culture and delectable cuisine. The mouthwatering dishes and captivating atmosphere make it a worthwhile dining destination. While the service might have room for improvement, the overall impression is one of satisfaction and a longing to return for another flavorful adventure.

I had a great time with my family (group of 9). From food to service everything was amazing! Maria was our server and she went above and beyond. It feels good to find a restaurant that you feel like home.

Peace! Yo are my boricua’s really tucked away in Lagrange/Buckner? Lmk! Pass by this place everyday and haven’t had the time to eat there. Really came here for the dancing. Music was on point! Few things missing was there was no medella! Or ppl dancing Word on the street was that this place gets poppin in the evenings on Friday. Went and saw nothing. Food wise; rice was everything. Mayo/ketchup needed more ummfff If you from the island you know the vibes, I had to add more ketchup to get it the consistency I’m used to. Would definitely come back. Shout out to the staff ☝️

Went during the weekend, and the food tasted really good. Flavor was on point, I'm puertorrican too, and all the flavors remind me of my days with the family back on the island, The mojito with Don Q was really good too. Definitely, we are coming back. We miss the Medalla light beer.
