This restaurant is so cozy, the happy hour is amazing, the food is so delicious and the service is incredible. Bianca, our server, was so nice and attentive. We came in on a Monday around 6pm and ordered off the happy hour menu. The brussel sprouts were out of this world good! The sauce they put on it is sweet and lightly spicy, and the little bits of bacon were a happy, salty surprise. The beef and chicken empanadas were also delicious. The chicken had tons of cheese, but the beef was my favorite, it was so flavorful! We ordered the pistachio cake with white chocolate ice cream, and raspberry sauce. It was so refreshing and a perfect pairing of flavors. I wish there was a little more cake, but I'm not complaining. I will absolutely be back. And next time, I gotta try their cocktails. read more

Came for brunch with a large group (10 people) and the service was excellent and they were super accommodating! The pan de bono was a highlight. It says it takes a while to prepare/bake on the menu, but they had some fresh ones they were able to serve pretty quickly. Knocking one star because the lomo soltado I ordered was a bit lacking, but I would definitely come back and try something else in the future. read more

Great ambiance, fairly priced, convenient covered parking in the building. We ordered the milanesa a caballo, crunchy and well seasoned, the quinoa salad - a very generous portion, and the lomo saltado, perhaps the weakest choice, but still very tasty, highly recommended. read more

We loved Chimba. Initially invited to be guests at a small get together with a dozen of the managers in the Miami office. They don't appear to be big enough to handle a group this large, but they did it! Latin American food that was wonderful. They make a Pulpo Al Olivo that is the cat's pajamas. A great Ribeye empanada and finally, a mouth watering Grilled Branzino. All 10 star, all reasonably priced. The staff were the best. Very professional and very efficient. In the end, they all received a huge tip. We will definitely be revisiting this location. 12/25 read more

First time at Chimba. I participated in a pop up art event. The event itself was fantastic!!! The restaurant service was average. Nothing spectacular. I ordered from their HH menu catered to the event. Pork Belly Tacos and a glass of red wine. They were both good, tasty and well priced. Ambiance was great and I loved their play list! I would come back and if an art event is hosted here again, I definitely would come back! Parking is a bit tricky. Come early and get yourself a street parking spot nearby. read more

Chimba Restaurant is one of those places that actually delivers where it matters--good food and even better drinks. The whole experience feels intentional, from the laid-back but stylish atmosphere to the way the menu is put together. The food leans into bold South American flavors, and you can tell they're not cutting corners--the meats are well-seasoned and cooked right, the seafood is fresh, and everything comes out with real flavor, not just presentation. Where they really stand out, though, is the drinks. The cocktails aren't just thrown together--they're strong, creative, and balanced, the kind you actually remember and come back for. It's the type of spot where you can sit down, order a couple rounds, share some plates, and everything just hits consistently. Service is smooth, the energy is right, and overall it feels like a place that knows exactly what it's doing. If you're looking for somewhere in Miami that nails both food and drinks without missing, this is a solid choice. read more

We were in Miami for a quick getaway to celebrate my husband's birthday and wanted a special place for dinner--and Chambas absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, everything was amazing. The service was attentive and warm, and the décor was stunning--chic, tropical, and effortlessly sexy. It felt like being transported to a stylish island paradise. Chambas is the perfect spot for a girls' night out or a romantic date night. The food was outstanding--every bite, from the empanadas to the key lime tres leches, was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. It happened to be a slow night, which made the experience even more intimate and relaxing. I'm so glad we found this gem, and I'm already looking forward to coming back the next time we're in town. Wishing Chambas nothing but continued success and growth--they truly deserve it! read more

i didn't get a photo of all the plates we ordered, but for the most part everything was fire we ordered churassco, several pasta dishes, empanadas, elote, salads, tacos.

I've been to this place twice, once for brunch and another time for dinner. I loved it both times. The food is delicious and the service is great. They have a great selection, not only Latin American food, and they even a Miami Spice pre-set menu. The ambiance feels just right, during the day there's natural light and at night there's dim lighting that adds to the experience. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

On a one day layover in Miami, I decided to see what people recommended to try. I went with Chimba, and it was well worth the uber ride there and back. They have an awesome happy hour menu, where I got a drink, empanadas, and pork y hatacon all for $28 (before tax and tip). The empanadas were crispy, the shrimp with a creamy filling and the beef with olives. The hatacon was my favorite because I love pulled pork and fried plantain. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and I had a great chat with my waiter who immediately pinned me from out of town (lol). They regularly filled water, asked how the food was, and even after dinner while I was waiting for an uber came out to check if I was okay. I think I'd definitely come back ready to try more of their awesome cocktail list and diverse entrees. Sidenote: An 18% gratuity is automatically applied to the bill no matter the party size. Here's your heads up beforehand. read more

This is a hidden gem in Midtown! I am so happy to have stumbled upon this restaurant because I will definitely be going back. The menu consists of latin american dishes and popular peruvian meals that were packed with flavor. I genuinely loved every dish I tried. The empanadas and birria arepa are absolute must. We also got the pumpkin ravioli which seemed odd for this type of restaurant but was bomb! We got the chaufa rice and octopus as well and loved both. The service was also very good and the waiter was attentive the entire night. The music and vibes were so fun for a date night or night out with friends. read more

We had a fantastic lunch at Chimba for my husband's 50th birthday while exploring Wynwood during art week! It was the perfect spot to relax at the vibrant and neon bright bar. Their cocktails were delicious--I had a spicy margarita, and my husband enjoyed a craft beer from a local brewery. He loved it! We started with shrimp empanadas, which were amazing, and the patacón & pork was a highlight. That pulled pork elevated the fried plantain which was topped with cheese and hogao, just fantastic! I also tried the grilled molleja (sweetbread) with lemon focaccia and chimichurri. It was good, but I think it could be even better with a little twist. Overall, Chimba was a great addition to our birthday celebration, and I definitely recommend it for a fun meal in Wynwood! read more

This was the picked place for dinner before our cruise. We were a party of 11. My food was good, but several ordered the linguini dish and all did not like it at all. The service was all over the place, because they did not know who ordered what so it was a question each time a dish arrived at the table. I believe the staff tried hard but it just needs to be more organized when delivering orders. That said I had the Criollo chicken, elote, and a shrimp empanada (not pictured, because I devoured it). I enjoyed it all and do recommend trying the chicken dish since it's new. We came on a DJ night so conversation was difficult to hear due to the volume of the music. Definitely a fun environment. read more

I love the happy hour at Chimba! Great vibes, bites, and drinks. I was addicted to the HUACACHINA SOUR PISCO MISTRAL. It was the perfect combination of sweet and sour for a drink. We sat at the bar and our bartender was excellent, very attentive. Ambiance was very casual and friendly, which fits with the name Chimba. I ordered the octopus chicharron which came out hot and crispy and the refreshing chimichurri sauce it came with complimented it nicely. read more

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! read more

I found a spot that spotlights some of the best dishes in South America and probably one of the best lomo saltados I've had this year. As soon as you walked in, it's as if you stumble upon a Amazonia oasis. They have one of those menus where it's hard to pick a dish because everything is good. We started with their cucumber gimblet because you know I love a good cucumber cocktail and this was absolutely perfect. For our apps we got their GRILLED MOLLEJA, served with bread and we squeezed the lemon and bit into its glory. We also got their CEVICHE NIKKEI which was incredibly ponzu forward and even had crispy calamari. For mains we got their LINGUINI HUANCAINA which if you haven't had huancaina sauce as a pasta you are missing out. The churrasco it came with was super tender. But the dish that will live rent free in my mind is their lomo saltado. What makes this a great lomo saltado? Tender meat, thick cut peppers and onions, crispy fries and a sauce you want to douse all over everything. I wanted to lick the plate clean. We ended with a key lime tres leches which was a lovely version and their flan de Dulce de leche. Come check out their miami spice menu, they have three options this year: Brunch $35 / Lunch $35 / Dinner $60 read more

I've been wanting to try CHIMBA for a while, and finally made it! It's a cute little corner spot with a cozy vibe. While the surrounding construction is definitely a hassle, they do offer parking in the connected building, which makes things a lot easier. One of the highlights is their daily happy hour! great deals and a rare find these days. Overall, a lovely place with good energy. I'm really looking forward to coming back for dinner and trying more from the menu! read more

Second time coming here and still serving delicious food. It's a Latin infusion with lots of flavors. This time we ordered the pulpo that was cooked to perfection with a side on quinoa. We also ordered the lomo which never disappoints. The desserts were absolutely amazing! Service was impeccable and loved the recommendations. The restaurant is so gorgeous, I love how instagrammable this place is. Great place for some lunch or dinner. read more

Awesome happy hour daily from 4-7! Includes a wide range of drinks $10 or less along with bites between $8-$11. My cocktail, the Creamy and Sweet was deliciously well balanced and the Octopus Chicharron was fantastic. The breading had a mild kick to it and was the perfect consistency for the Octopus. Would definitely recommend! read more

The restaurant itself is completely gorgeous. However, I felt like the drinks, food, and service missed the mark. The restaurant itself is listed as "Argentine food," but the menu left me confused because it had a lot of other influences too. The menu had items like burrata, pork belly tacos, birria arepa, lomito chimba, etc, which are not necessarily Argentine (I don't think). I understand it's also a general Latin restaurant, but I feel like if you advertise yourself to a specific country, the menu should mostly focus on that. Cutting down on the menu items and focusing on Argentine food would give the restaurant more identity. The food and drinks were good but needed some edits. For food, I ordered the cheese bites and beef empanadas. The cheese balls lacked salt, so they fell flat. I added salt myself, and it definitely made the dish better. The beef empanadas had such an incredibly delicate filling. The pastry's flavor was nice, but the outside looked a little sloppy because of the butter in the dough hitting the deep fryer. The drinks were tasty, but they leaned a little bit more on the sweet side. I think the drinks needed more acid to balance out the sweetness or just re-proportion the ratio of ingredients. For example, I got the Andino 75, but the prosecco overpowered all the other flavors, making it overly sweet. It was supposed to have a rosemary simple syrup, but I could not taste any rosemary, which was surprising because it's a strong flavor. Because of this, the drink tasted one note. A more prominent rosemary flavor would make that drink 10/10. Service definitely needed improvement. The wait staff was not as engaging, and the drinks took a while to come out. I'm not surprised--when there's one bartender during a busy time and when management has as many cocktails on the menu as Chimba has, waits are bound to happen. The restaurant could benefit from honing down the drink list to help speed up service. Overall, the vibe/aesthetic was nice, food and drinks has a lot of potential but needs editing. read more

The food: SALTY. The lomo saltado was barely edible. The chilaquiles were delicious. The empanadas were less than average. The service: Went for brunch and we were the only ones there for a while. The server was very anxious for us to order but once we got our food was MIA. We waited at least 15 minutes between when the table was clear s and we found her to ask for the check. Verdict: Will not return. I expected a much better quality for the price point. read more

Lunch with my boyfriend at Chimba was a nice little escape from the usual. The energy here is just electric - music, colourful decor, that perfect buzz of people having a good time. Our server was a total vibe, hyping up my cocktail like it was her personal creation.) Our dishes were plated so beautifully it almost felt wrong to eat. I snapped a million pics and already told my girls they NEED to go here. I'd say it is one of those spots where the vibe matches the visuals which isn't a given in Miami. read more

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! read more

It's excellent as a place to catch up with friends over drinks and appetizers, a celebration dinner or brunch with the girls. It's quite convenient and it straddles midtown and edgewater, so it's even a great place to pre-game before going out in Wynwood. My favorite meals are the quinoa salad with a protein or the milanesa, yeah macros! The half priced bottles on Tuesdays promotion is an irresistible deal. read more

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! read more

My friend and I stopped by after a long workday around 7pm and got a table right away which was nice. Luckily found easy parking nearby (we were starving) - it was literally around the corner. We went for the churrasco to share and it was really good. The meat was cooked perfectly medium (as we asked), juicy and covered in a flavorful sauce. The fries were tasty too with that parmesan seasoning it was hard to stop eating. I got full fast (portions were pretty generous) so we ended up splitting the rest. Also, liked the vibe there, bright colors, chill energy made it easy to relax. Pretty sure this won't be our last time here. read more

I came in Saturday night about 7:30pm with my daughter and well the restaurant has no parking so you have to park in the paying garage behind the restaurant or the street. It was empty maybe 3 clients in the restaurant at the time. Music was a bit loud to have a conversation was challenging. We ordered off their regular menu as we were there for an event. For starters we ordered the Argentinian empanada it was good and flavorful but a basic beef empanada also the Chilena empanada now this one hit different super delicious filled with shrimp highly recommended. The Shrimp Tiradito which was in a coconut milk sauce and many spices which gave it an enchanting taste it was very delicious. The Elote I was not a fan of the flavor. Main course I had the Shrimp Chaufa which I was surprised with the portion it was plenty and I took some home. It was delicious, prepared on the spot since it was very hot and full of shrimp loved it. Dessert I was disappointed as they did not have the the Alfajor de Maicena and nothing to replace it for not even offered to so the other 2 choices were either coffee (which is not a dessert) or Flan with dulce the leche(a few dabs on flan and the plate) and coconut sweet crumble to decorate half of the plate. The flan was a basic flan with the specified above nothing special about it. Service we arrived mentioned the event we were there for, the hostess didn't seem thrilled was very dry and not welcoming. Our server Andres was nice but didn't go out of his way to say l, it was wonderful service he came to the table asked if regular water was ok and forgot to bring it until he came to see if we were going to order and we reminded him. We wanted to order each choice slowly and we kinda felt rushed as he said we had to order all at once, and he did not check back until we flagged him down for the Check which he brought and just stood there until we paid as we wanted to look over to make sure all was correct on the check, at least he told us the 18 % tip was included already. read more
