El Jibarito Restaurant

Island Flavors, Made Daily

El Jibarito serves Puerto Rican comfort food with a Lancaster twist. You’ll find crisp empanadas, pinchos from the grill, potato balls, and hearty plates like mofongo with roast pork or chicken. Sandwich fans go for the tripleta, and there are plenty of sides to round out a meal. It’s relaxed, welcoming, and a great first stop if you’re new to Puerto Rican dishes.

Family Story, Community Focus
