The Jibarito Stop - Chicago, IL

This fast-casual Puerto Rican restaurant captures the essence of Puerto Rican cuisine, inviting guests to savor the vibrant flavors and indulge in the rich culinary heritage.

As stepping into this space, clients will be immediately immersed in the lively atmosphere that reflects the essence of Puerto Rico. Our expert designers have incorporated distinctive Puerto Rican accents throughout the restaurant, creating a space that pays homage to the island's vibrant culture and culinary traditions.

The colors blue, red, and white, inspired by the Puerto Rican flag, play a prominent role in the restaurant's color palette. These hues not only evoke a sense of national pride but also infuse the space with energy and vibrancy. The combination of these important colors creates a visual symphony that guests are free to enjoy in a warm and inviting ambiance.

The floor plan setting was carefully created to ensure a seamless flow and to optimize the space for efficiency. From the rustic seating arrangements to the thoughtfully designed lighting, every aspect has been meticulously considered to enhance the overall dining experience.

The Puerto Rican accents that adorn the restaurant serve as a visual feast for the senses. From traditional artwork, framed to highlight even more the history and heritage of the owners, and carefully placed murals, to decorative elements inspired by Puerto Rican craftsmanship, every detail reflects the authenticity and cultural pride of the cuisine being served. These accents create a sense of place and time, and transport guests to the native land of Puerto Rico, even if just for a meal.
