CHIMBA

Stopped by here for happy hour and I was not disappointed! Their happy hour menu was quite extensive and not limited to a few drink options. The empanadas were superb! The pastry shell was soft, and fluffy. The fillings?? Delicious. The beef was great but the mushroom!!! 10/10 recommend you should try it. It was different but so glad I tried it. The cocktails are crafted with great attention to detail, it was really good. Highly recommend!

Came here earlier today for a Miami Spice lunch with a group of close friends. We were very delighted by the drinks, the Miami Spice menu, and the overall ambience. The only reasons why I had to omit a star was because of the parking situation (the lot is tiny, so street parking is your best bet followed by garage parking... but it also didn't help that there was major construction so there was traffic) and the slow service during their shift transition that almost cost my gorl friend to miss her Brightline train.I've listed all the dishes I've tried in the photos so let me share today's Spice favorites from Chimba:Best Spice Appetizer -- shrimp empanada (unexpectedly big and STUFFED with so much shrimp and flavor)Best Spice Entree -- house burger (that was the juiciest burger and the pretzel bun kept its integrity)Best Spice Dessert -- key lime tres leches (the lime was not overpowering the cake part, the merengue was very creamy, and the cookie crumbles gave a nice texture to dish for crunch factor)Chimba curated a very good menu for Miami Spice this year, leaving me wanting to return for their regular menu!

Chimba is right around the corner for me, so I finally decided to stop in for a quick drink and dinner! I came in during happy hour, so we ordered a glass of wine which was $7. There were plenty of cocktails on the happy hour as well as some bites. Their dinner menu is pretty small so I honestly wasn't sure what to order but we landed on the skirt churrasco and Pulpo as the waiter recommended them. The skirt churrasco was really good but I think it was overpriced for what it was--0 sides, by the way. The Pulpo was also good and came with some potatoes. The restaurant itself is very hip inside. Nice atmosphere!

Checked out CHIMBA for brunch and it was nice. It was pretty quiet on a Sunday at 1:00. We were seated quickly. I tried the Tito's summer thinking it would be less sweet but failed to see the orange liquor noted in the ingredients. It was sweeter than expected but still good. We tried the tuna tartare, the birria arepa and the quinoa salad. I really enjoyed all of them but really loved the uniqueness of the birria arepa. It's a nice spot. The wall says there is parking at the hotel next door but I luckily found street parking so not sure if there is a cost associated with that.

Came here since I've seen it a few times on the way walking to midtown and so glad I did! They have a happy hour EVERYDAY from 4-7pm (which can be hard to find! Most places that I go to only have HH Mon-Fri). I got the paloma and my friend got the Moscow mule and both were delicious. We also got the empanadas (tried one of each type: mushroom,, beef, shrimp, and chicken) and the mushroom one was actually my favorite. Each of the empanada is actually pretty filling. I got the brussel sprouts which was cooked to perfection (sweet but also has a bit of a crunch). My friends also got the house burger and the skirt steak sandwich. For dessert, we also got the key lime tres leches, which was incredible and a fun spin on a traditional tres leches. The vibes and decoration was great for an evening out. There is some construction going on currently so I parked at the public parking garage nearby (was pouring that night). Service was excellent and perfect for a girls night catching up. The server didn't push us to order more food or try to take our plates away while trying to finish up food (I've noticed this at some restaurants where I'm still finishing food but the server will come by several times asking if we are done but its only been 20 minutes since the plate has arrived)

I liked the atmosphere. My friends and I visited on a rainy day so things felt calmer and quieter. All the servers were super helpful and no one ever rushed us. The food and dessert was good. My favorites were the steak sandwich and key lime tres leches. The happy hour prices wete great and we also ordered from the regular menu. I would definitely come back!

I came to Chimba a while ago for a special Yelp event and knew I definitely needed to come back! I came by on the weekend during happy hour, which is everyday from 4-7pm. A happy hour every day is definitely a treat! Chimba is beautifully decorated. Both modern, warm, and colorful. There's ample indoor, outdoor, and bar area seating. The menu has a lot of great Latin American food options + lots of drinks (wine, beer, cocktails) Their happy hour menu has a few wines, beers, and cocktails on special. It also has a couple of bites. We ordered a couple of wine glasses, a beer, and a prosecco, along with the elote and broken potatoes. Both happy hour portions were alarmingly small compared to the regular size appetizers and you only save a couple of $. Word of advice - order the regular appetizers, it's worth the price and portion. Now for the star of the show - the spinach gnocchi. Wow! The flavors are amazing. It really is a dish that's outside the box and tastes amazing. A bit crunchy and spicy. My mom ordered a salad and grilled avocado and that was also quite good. For dessert we tried the flan and were a bit underwhelmed but the dulce de leche and coconut bits really added to it. Service was a mixed bag. Our initial server was more attentive than the second server but he left out of nowhere and didn't say "hey this is your new server" so that was quite odd. The staff member helping the server was really kind and friendly so that was a plus. Definitely would come back here soon and try other things on the menu!

So if you are looking for a cute date night spot or just a place to enjoy some yummy food without the total rah rah of the Miami night life this is a good spot to check out . Service : 5/5Food: 4/5 Cleanliness : 5/5 Favorite food that I tried was the shrimp empanadaPlease note I started eating my food before taking pictures

I had originally enjoyed my initial visit to this local spot located next to Enriqueta's and across from Taco Chido in Edgewater.There were quite a few surprises during the night my group and I stopped by the other week. I noticed an online special featuring 3 cocktails & an appetizer per person featured by the pisco brand Mistral. Once instructed by the server we learned we only have a choice of the 3 happy hour appetizers. Apparently the appetizer portions served are normally quite small which was a shock considering the happy hour sizes come with double the order specifically in terms of the empanadas. When we brought this very vague menu and disappointing surprise up to the manager she basically told us it is what it is. When we informed her that for us this was quite a disappointment the push back response she gave was essentially 'I can go get you more food to shut you up if you want.' When we declined and decided we just wanted to leave, the waitress mistakenly doubled charged my card instead of correctly charging the other two cards. I made calls to have it fixed via the restaurant but no manager is apparently there when I had called.Upon my recent visit, obviously, I must admit that I no longer will be choosing this business due to menu special misleadings and frustration received from management response. There are many other places in Miami to dine.

The food and service were incredible!I'll definitely come back, good promotion. I love the Wednesday of "Sound and Tasting"
