Chimborazo

Visited 12/21/24. First visit to Chimborazo was a delight! Big group of us (7 people) and the staff was so accommodating and helpful. Notes for beforehand: you will order at that counter so while they have menus to look at, it wouldn't hurt to look online ahead of time. Also, this location is in the same lot as a Trader Joe's so depending on when you go, I would forego the parking lot and just do street parking instead. Overall, loved this place. Good vibes, portions sizes were gigantic, and everything was flavorful and solid. Some of the things our party ordered included: yuca frita and llapingachos appetizers for the table, churrasco, lomo saltado, Chaulafan, encocado, and the ecuatoriano vegetariano. A few of us also shared a bottle of Pinot Grigio. Prices for the amount of food you get were very reasonable. Highlights:-Encocado! Omg I'm getting this next time I come. My cousin ordered per recommendations from staff with shrimp and it was delightful. Almost like a curry sauce with coconut flavors this was refreshing and delicious. By far my favorite thing I tried. I poached a plantain off of my cousin's plate and this was delicious as well.-Yuca Frita. They cooked this perfectly so it was crisp and it made for a great shareable. -Chaulafan. An Ecuadorian fried rice, this was very flavorful and I enjoyed it. I would maybe consider sharing this and another entree with someone else because it was a lot of food.-My sister's highlight was the muchin de yuca that came with her ecuatoriano vegetariano platter. She said it was well cooked and unique!I will definitely be back, had a great experience with incredibly kind and knowledgeable staff!

i've visited a couple times now in the last couple of months and the food is absolutely amazing! the flavors are very vibrant and you know they've taken their time in ensuring high levels of quality with a zest for tight flavors that will make your pallet sing!enjoy!

If you're looking for Ecuadorian food, this is your spot! The churrasco is fantastic! We have tried the seco de pollo, seco de carne, chicken sandwich, hornado, etc. and everything is yummy!

The food was really good. I loved the green sauce that came with the Encocado. Parking is a little tight because of Trader Joe's next door.

This is a cute place in a little mall. You order at the counter. Water is available as a self serve. We ordered and the food came out fairly quickly. The food is a bit on the high side and the terminal will push for a large tip.The food was great. The taste and look was wonderful.

Super excited that Chimbaroza is in our neighborhood- the NE location is one of my favorite restaurants and this location is just as good. I ordered Takeout online and it was easy and quick. Their food is excellent- I ordered Vegetarian soltado with side of plantains. Vegetables cooked in a peppery sauce with a hint of fruitiness. super yummy. The plantains weee cooked to perfection as well. I can't wait to eat in and give a more full review

This is a nice place in our neighborhood. The food is very good. Unfortunately the dinner prices are so high that we won't return. If it were more affordable, we would probably go there often.

Chimborazo serves one of my favorite dishes in town (llapingachos con chorizo). So I was delighted to learn they opened a St. Paul location. Over by the Trader Joe's, parking kind of sucks. But it's well worth the trip. Unlike the Northeast location, I was sad to learn that llapingachos are not on the daily menu here -- only on weekends. So I got my backup - insalata fresca, which was fresh and delicious as always with grilled shrimp. Also, unlike the Northeast location, you order and pay at the counter and then they bring the food out to you. But overall, a very good representation of the Northeast spot and a lovely expansion for one of my local faves.

I got food delivered from Chimborazo and was SO delighted at the experience!! The empanada was perfect. Super crisp, not overly oily, and the filling was delicious. The Lomo Saltado with chicken and shrimp was flipping amazing, I had to stop after a couple of bites just to appreciate how much the flavors were bursting in my mouth. It was distractingly good, and that takes a lot when you're eating with your toddler! So perfectly seasoned and authentic. Thank you for a delicious meal!

Lamb Shank special tonight-RUN!!!!more thoughts, later after I enjoy tonight's take-out...
