A Puerto Rican country person or rural farmer, though the term has grown into a symbol of authentic boricua identity. Calling someone jibarito with warmth honors their humble, hardworking roots and deep connection to the island. Born in New York or raised far from the mountains, it does not matter: if the culture runs through you, you are jibarito at heart.
