Chica Miami - Tropical spicy margarita - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

Great Mexican Restaurant just north of the design district in Miami. Beautiful atmosphere with indoor seating and outdoor patio area. There was also a space in the back available for private events. I was happy to see some plant based options, but disappointed that in a Mexican restaurant no bean dishes were offered and would definitely have liked to see more vegan or vegetarian options. A hummus that came with a large plate of crudites was good, but definitely not Mexican. All dishes we tried were really good, although the prices seemed high for the size. There was a show of flame throwers which probably accounted for some of the price going towards. read more

Last evening, I met up with a good friend who I hadn't seen in a while. The last time that I was here was when it was Soyka, and we went there many times, both lunches and dinners. I was curious to see what Chica was like. I was was not disappointed. The ambiance is classy, trendy and romantic. Beautiful colorful decor with great music. The outdoor seating is,among lush greenery. I really liked it. We ordered the Ceviche Classico, which was very good. I also ordered the Living My Best Life cocktail, which was delicious! My friend ordered the Chica-rita, which was also really good. Our server was friendly and attentive. There is plenty of parking plus valet service. I will be back! read more

Kind of on the pricey side, but the food and drinks were really really YUMMY!! Service was excellent and the decor and vibe was very comfortable and relaxed. The bathrooms were clean and I really enjoyed the overall decor. This could be a great spot for a special occasion if you don't mind spending a little more. Sadly they didn't have the skull dessert but I guess that means we'll have to go back! The street corn and brussel sprouts were my absolute favorite! read more

Ambiance in this super hip restaurant is great for a date Dimly lit and cozy with half settee half chair set up! Loved it. The bar is beautiful and the cocktails were excellent! We ordered appetizers the guac and chips and the fried calamari were average but good. The smoke infused ribs were really good and entertaining and the Caesar salad was nice as well The vibe is on point and it makes for an enjoyable dinner. Two Prosecco's and two cocktails along with the above mentioned was about 270 with tip. Valet parking is also an added fee read more

I hadn't been to this location since it was Soyka. I decided to check out CHICA for lunch. The interior is bright and colorful. I sat at the bar, which was a lovely area too. When I went, they were offering their lunch menu and happy hour menu. The bartender was pleasant, taking the time to explain their different cocktails to me. The food and drinks were delicious. I would return again during lunch/happy hour to try other menu pens at the more affordable price. read more

The centerpiece of Chica's decor is a large bar at its center constructed of glass and wood with moody orange lighting and plants hanging over it. However, your eye will more like be drawn by the vibrant mural along their outside patio. The aesthetic appeal of Chica sets the stage for an unforgettable meal. Settle down into the sumptuous seating and prepare. We came for brunch and started off with a shared bottle of bubbly that came with a carafe of passion fruit juice. You also have the option for orange or guava. I tried the Paisa breakfast bowl. The churrasco was tender and delicious. The sweetness of the fried plantains perfectly complemented the savoriness of the meal. Our waitress, Kayla, was the sweetest and took excellent care of us. I look forward to my next meal at Chica. read more

Update from recent Bday dinner: We came for a friends dinner recently. And the vibes were not it. The server Vanessa would explain thing so quick and she barely came in to check on us. It felt rushed. The drinks took forever to come. The fries were never put in. They noticed after we told them and they brought two fries complementary. The prices were too high for what you are getting. . There was a 20 % mandatory gratuity. With the service we received it was not worth it. You would expect more for a bday dinner. The foods taste was average. I was highly disappointed . The brunch when I came before was so good ! Last two pics were from the bday dinner . read more

This is my first time at this location, we tried the vegas location and loved it We did everything through the coordinator since our party was a bit large There was a bit of miscommunication because the form that was sent didnt match the menu they had day of ( in regards to the drinks) but the owner was there and he made sure we were well taken care of he was professional and very sweet They made customized menus for us which was a nice touch The ambience was beautiful but this is a chill spot so it isnt a party vibe They have beautiful decor great for pics The Caesar salad was the best Ive ever had! The donuts were delicious! The chicken and waffles were a bit spicy After they did make an error with the bill and took out the money without contacting us first- i would go again but not w the coordinator It was also family style serving which we loved read more

Big shout out to the Asado Negro Arepas they were part of the perfect start to what was just an amazing dinner experience. Everything was delicious I can't say it enough I had not one complaint. read more

I think this was THE BEST dinner I had when I was in Miami. This is a great place to go to before a night out. They play live music & there are dancers that come out, and they dance with you too! The interior is super stylish and the workers are extremely welcoming and kind. I came in on Friday night & the food came out fairly fast too! The food was OUTSTANDING. My friends and I ordered everything family style... which I recommend to those who are foodies and love trying different things. The way the Wagyu churrasco steak melted into my mouth... it was cooked medium rare and Chicas did a great job and actually made it medium rare (unlike a lot of places). The Ceviche Duo really helped get my ceviche fix in.. super authentic and fresh. I loved how it came as a duo so we had a variety to try from. The Birria Empanadas... EXCEPTIONAL! I've never had empanadas before but I was quite impressed. Will definitely look for empanadas back at home now. As for drinks, my friends and I decided to get the Living my best pitcher. There were 5 of us and we each got 2 drinks out of that pitcher... so worth it. The Roasted street corn and the local green salad were also amazing sides to our entire order. I will definitely be stopping by here once I am in Miami again. Keep in mind 20% gratuity is included. Overall I loved this place! read more

CHICA is a sight for sore eyes--going on a third date and hope to impress? Bring them here! A THIRD date? You might be wondering...Yes, allow me to explain. A first date is filled with jitters and depending on how it's going, could be filled with conversation too. CHICA's vibe is much more third date vibes because they play loud play music (loud enough to take away from first date conversation but not so loud that wouldn't be fun on a third date when positive vibes have already been established). Now that we have that out of the way, the service at CHICA was top notch. The words my server used, the way she placed her hands, pardoned her reach, and all that jazz was wonderful. It's what one would come to expect at a fine dining establishment. I could tell she had experience. The cocktails were delicious. I had the double trouble which is a mezcal cocktail and it did not disappoint. Beautifully presented and well balanced, though there were many other options I chose to stick to that one because it was so good. My preference is a smokey-not -too-sweet drink and the double trouble met that criteria. So why four stars and not five? The food. It could have been what I selected...perhaps there were other items on the menu that would have sealed the deal but I really wanted a brunch food and for me, that was the chorizo Benedict. The texture of the hollandaise and the poached egg blended a little too seamlessly together, meaning I couldn't tell the difference between the sauce and the egg. With that being said, the egg needed to be a little more cooked as the white was still a little runny. The hollandaise was more whipped than creamy and lacked the little bit of zing it needed. The side salad, however, was great! Perfectly dressed and fresh. I also really appreciated how they made accommodations for my friend who didn't eat meat or dairy though there weren't many options on the menu for brunch to cater to those with those preferences. All in all, I still wouldn't skip on CHICA! Go on that third date, relish in the yummy cocktails and try other things on the menu! read more

Too pricey for the taste and quality. I was very excited to come here but it definitely looks better than it tastes. One of the most interesting themed restaurants, the decoration, the music, i loved the ambiance. We were lucky to try the miami spice menu as well as order our own things but it did not live up to the hype. The only dish we enjoyed were the asado negro arepas. The rest of the food was not good, neither were the drinks. The dessert menu looked good but after trying the food, we decided to not order any dessert. The service was alright, it almost felt like the waiter was rushing us, despite the place being almost empty and the food taking a minute to be served. read more

Fantastic food and vibe. The music is on very loud in here making it a bit hard to hear but the food is delicious and makes up for it. We got the Picanha for the table and it was *a lot* of food. It's a perfect celebration-type meal and all their other dishes were very shareable. Parking valet in the lot was $8 read more

This place has great happy hour times : 3-7 all days except Sunday which is 3-close. We arrived around 4, but did not get seated because they needed to have the entire party there in order to get a table. The place was not busy. There is a variety of drinks on the happy hour menu and we ordered different drinks. They were all good. I had the Chicarita and it was delicious, there is a bit of pineapple juice in it so the tart taste is it down. The bite sizes a rep as and rice crispy ball were very tasty. I particularly enjoyed the braised short rib arepa. I think around 5 the DJ started and later on, they were going to have a lady dancing with . There is a large room on the side for private events. There is plenty of parking, but after 5 pm all spots are valet ($8) read more

I really think that CHICA Miami has 5 star potential; however, I did not have a 5 star experience. Service: From the moment I walked in everyone from the host, the bartender, and my waitress were amazing. They were friendly, helpful, and extremely accommodating. The only thing is the restaurant had just opened for the day and it felt like things were moving a bit slow as far as receiving orders placed. Ambiance: This restaurant is GORGEOUS!! The art, decor, table arrangement and layout created a unique vibe. I absolutely loved it! Definitely a very elegant location for a nice lunch meeting, brunch or dinner date. Food: This is where CHICA Miami fell a little short for me. The presentation of the food was fantastic, everything ordered looked delicious and Instagram worthy. However, taste-wise the dishes were underwhelming. Lacking in seasoning, the oxaxcan fried chicken sandwich was extremely bland and dry. The tinga taco salad was good, however flavor wise it's comparable to a salad from Chipotle. The Mexican Mezze was also very good, no complaints there. The drinks were refreshing. I will try CHICA's again in the future to see if there are better menu options because I do believe they have lots of potential. read more

This place never disappoints. The food and ambiance make for an amazing experience. The drinks and food were both very good. The drinks, although tasty, were still strong. Their happy hour on drinks is daily which is another plus especially for this area. The happy hour food is just Monday-Friday, but also pretty amazing. The service is always attentive and consistent. I do recommend the lava molten cake as a one time experience, but for the price I probably wouldn't order it again. All in all, I definitely recommend and will be back. read more

We visited CHICA for Sunday brunch on a pleasant sunny morning, choosing to sit at the hi-tops along the sidewalk. We had the Bloody Maria (tangy, spicy and cool, but not too much ice) and the non-alcoholic Honey Spice mango drink (which had delicious candied mango). The tacquitos ahogados were very good in little rolled pork-filled tacos over a cheesy, light tomato sauce. In the Mexican Mezze plate, we loved the guacamole, pumpkin seed hummus, the green salsa, and especially the baked goat cheese spread, along with the tostadas big chip pieces and crudités for dipping. For mains, the Chorizo & Arepa Benedict was good with two poached eggs over arepas, a chorizo sauce (I was actually hoping the chorizo would be in sausage form), all covered with a light guacamole sauce. The Paisa breakfast bowl was also good. read more

Rather pushy with trying to get you to order the big bucks stuff and disappointed when you go for lower dollar options, but at least it's not 'terrible' food and it's cheap during happy hour. CHICA offers Latin American cuisine that is best purchased during Happy Hour. If you go during any other time, while you will have a more intimate time sitting by the notorious Biscayne and hearing cars whiz past you, you will be hit with prices that might not match what their quality. The thing that irks the most is that when you do try to go for something such as their prix fixe menu, they will try to talk you out of it and boast up things outside of it--I mean, it's 20% automatic-gratuity, so can you blame them? Or even when you're not in the mood for alcohol, the judging of the server can be felt for choosing the cheaper mocktails over the twice as much boozy concoctions. Does this happen often? I mean, 2 for 2 is a pretty bad ratio. Long story short--go here for a better vibe during Happy Hour, save your wallet some cash, and fill up when servers know you're coming just to get the fill-up. read more

The ambiance is amazing and that's basically what you are paying for in my opinion. I was with a group of 8 and we had a reservation for 9:30p. We arrived at 9:37p and were told our table was not ready. After about 45 minutes, we were finally seated. They don't have any waiting seating so we were just stuck to spread apart and stand outside and stand near the DJ. The DJ and the fire performer were fun for sure! Unfortunately the table we received did not get to see the fire performer up close. Not for sure why, but imagined it was a fire safety possibly due to the columns that line the aisle. I ordered the following with ratings attached: Quesa Birria Empanada: 7/10 (flavorful, very salty though) Caesar Salad: 8/10 (dressing was delicious, but nothing special for price) Seafood Arroz Negro: 8/10 (this was the best dish of the entire table. Rice was cooked well and it was a decent serving size compared to other plates) Crispy Calamari: 7/10 (also a little salty and rubbery in texture) Overall, I believe the experience is better with 2 people in your party max and would stick to it as a pregame spot for a couple drinks or small bites in the future! read more

Chica's interior is beautiful. The menu did not speak to me. There was nothing I really wanted other than the Huancaina Mash. My friend said you can eat some of my food and proceeded to order Wood-Fired Meat Parrillada (Churrasco, Steak Pinchos, Oaxacan Chicken, Chorizo, Chimichurri ). When I tell you it was so good! I did not eat some of the food, I ate a-lot! Then out of nowhere the lights were dimmed and the DJ took front and center, dancers appeared, and some fire eater entertainment took place as well. Great restaurant to celebrate a birthday ! read more

We came for my cousins bachelorette brunch and half of us got bottomless mimosas. I originally got the queso birria tacos and it was so salty. At krafts 5 of the girls I came with got this dish, and I think I was the only one who asked our server if I could order a different dish. She was super sweet about it and let me re-order, so I got the avocado toast. The inside is so pretty; they have a lot of greenery in the alley towards the bathroom. There was also a big mirror in the hallways, and the girls and I took lots of pictures in this area. I would come back again for the experience, however I do think the food wasn't that great. read more

The restaurant has a pretty setup inside with a big bar at the entrance. Valet parking is available right there at a decent price. We went for Happy Hour on a Sunday and it was great. They have.

CHICA is a restaurant by day and turns into a nightclub late. We enjoyed the arepa appetizer and the tuna tartare. The churrasco was delicious as were the sides. Service was friendly and prompt. My only issue was with the server literally mocks us for not being able to drink alcohol. Saying things like there is no joy without. Maybe he was just trying to be funny but he mentioned it a few times. Anyway, we still enjoyed the meal. read more

Came here for a birthday brunch and we all got the bottomless mimosas. Now typically I'm used to being left with the bottle of champagne and it's self serve, but here our waitress was constantly keeping our drinks topped off, which we all loved. The omelette was 10/10. It was tasty and light. The guac is also a must try. I liked that it was paired with plantains instead of tortilla chips. The other dishes pictured were also a hit. Hearty and delicious. The paisa bowl portion was insane. Definitely recommend this cute spot for a date night or brunch. read more

I'm a born and bred Miamian so I've always been to the other restaurants around Chica but never got the chance to actually go and decided to go for lunch today and it did not disappoint! First, I must say the ambience is so cute and the aesthetics in that in this restaurant is top notch. We tried the Miami Spice menu and it was absolutely amazing. There was a couple dishes that were actually not on the regular menu so that was a Unique twist to it. Apps: we had the taquitos bañados and asado negro arepas. Omg the sauce on the taquitos and the sweet and savory taste on the arepas, to die for! I even mixed some of the taquitos sauce and used it on my arepas for some extra flavors. Entrees: we had the Oaxacan fried chicken sandwich and lamb árabes tacos. The sandwich was delish and spicy, the bun had jalapeños made into it which was super unique. The lamb tacos, juicy and flavorful. Dessert: we had tres leches and sorbet (horchata, raspberry, and pasión fruit) both great to finish off the meals Drinks: cucumber summer and espresso martini Presentation 10/10, aesthetics 10/10. Want to come back for Happy Hour and try some other things on the menu! Can't believe I haven't been all these years read more

We had reservations for a birthday dinner on a Friday night. Made an early 7pm reservation to avoid the Miami traffic but we still got caught in said traffic. The bar upon entering the restaurant was beautiful. The house music wasn't my cup of tea but thankfully it wasn't obnoxiously loud. We were seated to the rear of the restaurant. Initially I was thankful because it was intimate and there wasn't much traffic but later on I was a little sad because as the evening went on the dancers came out and where we were sitting didn't offer a good view at all. We got the margarita pitcher which was delicious. For appetizer we got the BBQ ribs. The pineapple at the bottom saved the dish because without it the ribs are just okay. Our main dishes were the: salmon with Brussel sprouts, the steak and the lobster Mac and cheese. Overall I didn't care for the sauce that came with the salmon. It was super salty. The Brussel sprouts was amazing, I would've definitely traded the salmon for more Brussels. The steak was cooked medium rare instead of medium like requested but life went on we ate it. Now the mac&cheese was nothing to write home about. I highly recommend asking about the market price of their lobster because paying $75 for that little bit of mac&cheese was outrageous. All in all, it's definitely a try once and I'm good restaurant. read more

It's a great happy hour with delicious small bites. The venue is beautifully decorated with a more casual hangout kind of vibe. A lot of people were dressed pretty nicely though so maybe put on a cute outfit for a date night as well. Tostones: Get! These were amazingly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Pairs very well with the sauce. Tostada: Maybe... It's a very small portion that is almost 1 bite sized. For $4 dollars its a bit steep but it's got a deliciously bright and fresh flavor to it. Drinks: Get Most of the drinks did taste a bit more elevated and I appreciated the negroni a lot. It didn't have an imbalance of campari which is usually the most common thing that I taste. Food: 8/10 Service: 7/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Value: 6/10 read more

You walk in an your eyes are met with a view and design that makes the head turn. They really took the time To make you feel welcomed the top notch service makes sure of it and delivered nicely . Michael was the manager that night. I was invited to to private event the evening . The Dj i wasn't sure was because of the event or a regular thing . A second outing is definitely in the plans. The menu had a lot of choices however I didn't partake in the eating of any edible food that evening hence the second outing . I found myself amused with the decor selection lighting and art.however my nose was working and what it smelled was pure temptation to the tastebuds.

CHICA is a beautiful restaurant, great for night out, getting drinks, or brunch like I had. The pan de Bono waffle is a delicious and wonderful take on a waffle. The waffle had great flavor and texture. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy. I was not a fan of the aji dulce hot honey, because it was too spicy for my taste. I tried the ahi dulce hot honey with the chicken and it was spicier than I had anticipated. Overall the dish was delicious. I had their Midnight in PR and it was being on a beach in PR with a mojito. Their guacamole was really good. The pairing of arepas with guacamole is great, each of the arepas has a different flavor profile. The guac is fresh and the perfect combo between chunky and smooth. The Rum Caramel Sticky Bun is sooo good words can't describe it. The rum flavor in the sticky buns is present, but not overpowering. The pistachio cream cheese is not overpowering and compliments the sticky buns perfectly. This is a MUST have when visiting Chica. read more
