"Great neighborhood gem of a place. This place was on our list for a while, and oh it did not disappoint. From the food to the amazing service you get at the walk up window. Little places like this are what make neighborhoods shine. The owner was at the window taking the orders, he has a very inviting personality and contagious smile. It was cold outside, but the cafe con leche and the smile makes you feel warm, cozy and welcomed. It’s a little out of the way for me but, I’ll probably try and make out there once a month. We had two Jibarito sandwiches. One was the chicken jibarito and the other was the pork Jibarito. Portion sizes are generous. Both sandwiches were very flavorful, they even seasoned the plantain part of the sandwich. We had a side of rice and a side of beef also very generous portions. Ropa vieja empanada was amazing. Crunchy exterior and hot and flavorful on the inside. In my opinion it’s places like this, that give Chicago bragging rights when it comes to its food scene."

"Delicious food, between 3 of us we tried some sandwiches, a plate, a soup and one of the puddings and everything was delicious. Loved jibarito style. Omar himself is so friendly and will make you feel so welcome, and the whole vibe of the place is just a great time. Highly recommend."

"Omarcitos is an absolute gem! Omar’s energy is unmatched — he makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. We called about 15 minutes before closing to let him know we’d be arriving late, and he warmly assured us that everything would still be available except the fish. When we arrived, the place was lively and full of good vibes. The food was incredible — so flavorful and fresh! Even though they had run out of rice, Omar made it right by doubling up on beans and plantains, and he even brought us dessert to try. What a sweetheart! You can tell he’s the heart and soul of this place. We’ll definitely be coming back!"

"Omarcito is truly a standout spot. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, which immediately set the tone for a great experience. The food was nothing short of incredible. The ropa vieja was the highlight, it was tender, perfectly seasoned, and packed with rich, comforting flavor that tasted like it had been slow-cooked with real care. The empanadas were equally amazing: crispy on the outside, flavorful and satisfying on the inside, and clearly made fresh. Every bite felt thoughtful and authentic. Between the outstanding food and the genuinely warm service, Omarcito is a place you want to come back to again and again. Highly recommend."

"Delicious, amazing ambiance and pretty darn cool people! We sampled/shared over 5 things! I loved the watermelon juice but cantaloupe was a group favorite! Ropa vieja 🎉 Thanks for an awesome experience!"
