Kimchichanga

Each of our visits here are great! Tonight is no exception. Decided on a moderately healthy dinner before the UCR game. Today I made a point of taking pics before we ate half of the dish.Jalapeño bombs - the fact that the jalapeños are fresh and not frozen. Panko crust is rispy and not too "fried feeling. Delicious. Bibim-N-Go (burrito) - Huge and delicious.

Kimchichanga is an Asian-Mexican fusion spot located at University Village near the UCR campus. We visited on a Tuesday evening, just in time for their happy hour (Monday to Saturday, 2-7pm). The place has a friendly vibe, with a design that leans into a Mexican theme, and the service was good. It wasn't too busy, which made for a relaxed experience.We tried their happy hour margaritas and well drinks, which were both strong and affordable--definitely a win for happy hour seekers. For food, we opted for their KBBQ tacos, which came with homemade chips and a nice salsa. They offered several meat options, including chicken, pork, and beef, with some available in spicy versions. I had the pork, and it was delicious--full of flavor and very satisfying.Overall, Kimchichanga is a great spot for a quick bite and a drink, especially if you enjoy fusion flavors in a casual setting.

My friend was raving about this place since he has been eating here since they were a smaller business. It met my expectations but not at the same level as him. The mushroom poppers are great. Buying into the mushroom gives it a neutral taste but when you bite into it with the imitation crab and dipping sauce, it makes a whole lot better. The kimchichanga was next and I got it with bulgogi. Overall, the dish is good with yummy sauces on it. But I thought it had two major problems. The first is that the exterior was not that crunchy and left the inside tortilla a lot softer than it should. Maybe if it was in the fryer for a couple more seconds, it would have been perfect. The second was the meat. The bulgogi has a nice marinade but I thought it was over cooked and parts were either dry or too greasy. If I were to try this again, I would probably go for the chicken. This was a very heavy meal for me but it was just enough to keep me full.

The ambiance is so nice, I haven't been since they relocated but it for sure is a an upgrade ! The food is delicious as always! Never go wrong with the Kimichichanga

I was in the area visiting friends who have been saying they wanted to try this spot for a while but haven't gotten around to it. Funny enough, they still haven't tried it because I decided to come in while they were busy and I had time to kill. I tried the kbbq burrito and found it very good. It was the perfect amount of "medium" spice for me. Well seasoned bulgogi meat and kimchi fried rice. I wouldn't say it was mind blowing but served as the perfect quick lunch. Worth trying for sure.

So I had been wanting to try this place out. I always check beforehand to make sure a place is open. When we came here there was a sign on the door that stated they would be closed for about an hour.. so we left..We came back maybe a month later, and there was another sign that said they closed early! This made me not even want to go back but I was curious as to how their food tasted and I wanted to know if there would be another sign on the door lolFinally.. third times the charm.. it was open! There was quite a few people in there and only one guy running the place who I think was an owner. I would hire staff asap if I were them. It doesn't look good when there's one person just running around and you don't get the best service since everything seems rushed. Everything took a long time but with the short staff I can see why. It's +3 for bulgogi, which sucks. Should be the same price as all the other meat regardless of popularity. So $6 for one taco is kinda ridiculous.The meat tasted good but the taco wasn't good like I had hoped. I had envisioned something like tacos from kogi which are also Asian/Mexican. I wouldn't go back. I tried it but it's not really worth the price.

Ugh, it's complicated. I loved my order- I got the Kali Burrito, and it was sooo delicious! But it took FOREVER to get to the table and there was only one other party in the restaurant on a Saturday night. Also a burrito of that size for $16 is a bit criminal. As is, I probably wouldn't be back unless they got faster service and bigger proportions. Waitstaff was nice though, and they decorated cutely for Christmas.

After hearing from a co-worker/friend that this restaurant has a several vegan options, I just knew I had to go see for myself.Upon arriving at the restaurant, I liked the clear restaurant signage outside as well as indoor and outdoor seating available. Upon waking into the restaurant, hubby and I were warmly greeted by restaurant employee Jessica.I liked that vegan food options are labeled with a vegan logo and it is stated that foods with the icons is already vegan or may have a vegan option such as subbing spicy mayo and cheese for vegan spicy mayo and vegan cheese. After reviewing the menu, I ordered a vegan kimchi quesadilla with tofu as well as a vegan Korean bbq taco while hubby ordered super fries as well as tacos. Vegan protein options are tofu or avocado.Our food was brought out quickly and was hot and flavorful. Since I haven't had kimchi before, I had it on the side of my quesadilla. I was pleasantly surprised that the vegan spicy mayo wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be. Hubby really enjoyed super fries topped with tofu. Having I liked the contrast in taste between the tofu and avocado tacos as well as how compact they were.After finishing our dinner at this restaurant with such delicious food and friendly attentive staff, we will definitely be back to explore more of their vegan food options.

Food was okay, but I was not a fan of my burrito at all. I had the Bibimbap burrito, which definitely is for others, but not for me. I felt like the flavors didnt go together making it tough to finish.The KBBQ started off strong, loved it spice, but toward the end the flavor were toooo strong for me. It felt like it was balanced throughout the burrito. Mushroom poppers were very delicious though !!

This place was so good! Had nachos with beef, jalapeño bombs, beef toeta and drinks. Omg the torta bread was soft but crispy the neat wasctendervand flavorful a bit sweet but so good, I didn't mind. Service was good, one guy but honestly only two tables he had it down. Ambiance is cool they played music different variety , I can imagaine the crowd at night. Jalapeño poppers tempura were delicious. I'll Def be back with my children.
