I love it here! The food and the service is always impeccable, but my favorite thing is the weekly specials! They have wine down tuesdays, vinyl wednesdays, thursday happy hour, and a friday party. I think this place is a gem in Midtown my favorite is the ribeye empanada! 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

The stars of our visit were the staff! The food is obviously important when you visit a restaurant but when you have great staff people will definitely return The food itself was very good. I tried the shrimp chaufa which was delicious and something I'd definitely get again. I ordered the choripan which is a chorizo sandwich and the flan with dulce de leche. Both the sandwich and the flan were ok in my opinion, next time I'd opt to try the lomito sandwich instead and maybe the pavlova Overall the ambience is great, great music and a good spot to visit Meter Parking across the street, it was about $6 for 2 hours I believe 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

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. read more

We liked it so much the first time that we came back, for happy hour, this time. Miami has many food choices so it has to be that good to get us back. They have a good happy hour selection, both for drinks and bites. Our server was friendly and helpful with suggestions. Their signature cocktail La Selva was refreshingly tropical without being too sweet. We love the Elote, creamy with a touch of citrus zing. Both the beef empanadas and pork belly in the tacos were fried to perfection without being greasy but gave a satisfying crunch feel. The octopus chicharron was tender, fresh, and tasty with the chimichurri sauce. Before we started, we thought we needed more food, but we were full. We concluded our meal with a key lime tres leches cake. The key lime sauce was a perfect complement to the cake. We would've liked the cake to have more milk. We experienced excellent service on both visits. The restaurant manager was exceptionally welcoming. We will return soon. read more

Excellent service and happy hour options (5-7) for both cocktails and quick bites made for a lovely evening. The decor is a mix of interesting natural and bright pops of color. Tables along the wall have a sofa side and a chair side. Servers thoughtfully placed happy hour/adult dinner dates away from a more casual family party that was wrapping up. The bites include an elote, Brussels with bacon, and empanadas all of which were tasty and well presented. My huacachina sour was also a nice note with pisco and pineapple. read more

Love this restaurant. Met up with friends today here and we were pleasantly surprised we ordered Pulpo AL Olivo, truffle fries, House burger and fries. Every thing was great and the atmosphere was nice. Our server was very attentive. We loved it and will return. read more

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. read more

If you love Tequila, the margaritas are yummy! Happy hour is a great time to stop by for food and drinks!! Friendly locals hang there and the managers are very welcoming!!!

I wanted to like this place more than I did. I love the overall vibe of the place, especially during the special event we went to sponsored by Mistral pisco. Loved hearing them play some nice tunes on vinyl. The cocktails were pretty tasty, including the happy hour ones we tried (highly recommend checking out the Fernet with Coca Cola) and the pisco ones featured as part of the event, although they weren't anything too exciting. The food was pretty good (elotes and empanadas) but again, nothing too special.One thing that was really disappointing was the advertising and overall handling for the Mistral event. The menu and fliers all very clearly stated which drinks were included, but very generically said "appetizer included." We were surprised to find that the appetizer that was included was not actually an appetizer off the main menu, but was in fact smaller than the happy hour portion! This would've been easier to swallow had we known up front (because the price was pretty good), but it wasn't well advertised and by the time our waiter took our food order (service was slow that night), it was too late for us to change course to eat something more substantial there or elsewhere. When my friend mentioned to the manager that it was somewhat disappointing that the food that was included with the event was not made more clear up front, they were fairly dismissive. All told, I had a pretty good time due to the music and ambiance and the food/drinks were average and service left a little to be desired. read more

So this was my first time in Miami and after a long day we were starving. Some1 from our hotel mentioned this spot so we figured why not. I've never had octopus before and I was kinda on the fence. I thought it would be chewy but it was actually good. Tender, a bit crispy on the edges and seasoned just right. Honestly better than I expected. Portions were also solid, my bf got something with steak and was also satisfied. Service was chill, maybe a bit slow at first. The vibe was laid-back and we got a table by the window with a nice view of the street. It wasn't super quiet but the atmosphere felt cozy and kinda local which we liked read more

What's not to like about Chimba? Atmosphere was adorable, menu was outstanding, and staff was great! We had the pork belly tacos, house burger, steak sandwich and another steak dish. Everything was amazingly delicious and had we had more time we would have returned to try the 3 course meal. Next trip! read more

I visited Chimba located in the midtown area during its opening, and had a great dining experience. The restaurant has a diverse menu featuring a selection of different Latin American dishes (from Peruvian to Argentian). The restaurant staff was inviting and they were also attentive and friendly. There is a lot of seating available, including both outdoor and indoor options. We started with the Argentinian empanadas, which were some of the best I've had. The elote is an absolute must-try. read more

Stopped in with two friends after work. We didn't have a reservation but we luckily got seated right away. Chill vibe and friendly service from the start. The place felt relaxed but a bit lively but we could actually hear each other talk without having to shout. The cocktail list was no joke. There were tons of cocktails to choose from and we made our way through a good number of them. Just one didn't hit for me, that's because I missed it had mint. The rest were at least a 9 out of 10. We also ordered a few small bites to share and every dish was solid. Good spot to catch up with friends read more

Bauti and Tiago behind the bar are the heart and soul of this place. Bauti's got that effortless charm, a killer pour, and makes you feel like you've been friends forever. Tiago keeps the energy high and the cocktails even higher. Together, they make Chimba feel like the spot to be. Great drinks, good music, and a whole vibe start to finish. Can't recommend it enough. I loved this place so much I got a tattoo read more

My friend and I had dinner here the other night and it is such a chill spot. We both got the tuna tartare and it was so good. Looks kinda small in the pics but it was actually super filling. My friend is obsessed with tartare and she said it was one of the best she's ever had. I liked it too but I ran out of chips kinda quick so I ended up wishing they gave us a bit of bread on the side. The vibe in there was relaxed, not too loud and comfy. Our server was awesome. He was super friendly and helped us pick drinks. You could tell he actually cared. Think I will be back. read more

Wow this place was a surprise! The place is aesthetically gorgeous! The service was warm and attentive. The food was good overall. The gnocchis and the shrimp tiradito were delicious! The dulce de leche crepe was thin and gooey - exactly what I was missing with that Little Brittany crepe fail. Argentinians know how to make crepes! The flan and the shrimp chaufa were ok. The happy hour menu looks really good so we will definitely be back. read more

I came in on a Saturday night with my mom. The restaurant wasn't busy yet but it got busier as the night went on. The restaurant looked very nice with nice music playing. Our server came in he seemed nice, took our order and never came back to our table to see if we wanted something else or if everything was ok. I had to flagged him down at the end to get our check and that's when he asked if everything went ok. Now the food: We started with the coconut mojito which was really good and not overly sweet. For starters we tried the shrimp tiraditos (I loved the presentation and flavor) the Elotes (that was simply ok) and we also added a Argentina empanada and a Chilena empanada (this was my favorite thing I had) which both were really flavorful and delicious. For dinner we both went with the shrimp Chaufa which had a lot of flavor and it was packed with shrimp but it was a bit to wet for my taste. For dessert we the flan. The flan was pretty good nothing out of the world. They definitely need to work on the customer service as I think it could have made our experience better. read more

Drink review only; I love chimba. Sitting at the bar in this aesthetic restaurant was a treat. The bartender was FABULOUS and put on a show with every cocktail he crafted. We arrived during a crazy rainstorm to an empty place and were spoiled with some free samples of drinks from some brand reps. Haven't tried the food, but the pricing looked reasonable. Will return :) read more

An unexpected "cool" spot in between Wynwood, Midtown and Miami design District is Chimba is mixture of Peruvian, finest with a Miami twist. The shrimp ordered was in my opinion very under rated. I think it was seared or panfried looked kind of undercooked, but it was very good because it had a mixture of ingredients like "leche de tigre", which set it off. We went to the Yelp event and hadto get the Kale/Broccoli Gnocchi. It had a spft, amazing cheese on the bottom, which was unexpected. Left nothin on the plate, and im not a fan of vegetables lol. The Chufa was a hugeeee dish. Lots of food, perfect for two. It had some shrimp in it, so it was very tasty. Right on 2nd Ave, it is really a great place to get a quick bite and gwt your Machu Pichu fix. read more

I discovered this little quaint gem east of Wynwood, north of Edgewater. Enjoyed their fresh shrimp Tiradito, shrimp chaufa rice, basil pesto gnocchi's( divine!)and dulce de Leche pancake was so delicious. Only thing wasn't that good was the flan it didn't taste fresh. The pancake was the star of the afternoon, as was the Staff. They were super friendly and attentive. Had a little cappuccino to round out the afternoon. The vibe was very laid-back. Will definitely be back lots of other menu items that caught my eye. read more

We got lucky with the parking and found some nearby on the side of the street. if you get lucky you will pay little to nothing for parking. I put a picture of a nearby garage that's a little pricier but still wont break the bank. We walked over and the entrance was so welcoming and they greeted us as soon as we came in yelp elite or not. Definitely not in a bad area and close to the brightline. We got lucky and came in a little earlier right during happy hour. We got some really good specials on drinks and light bites. I posted the picture to the happy hour menu and some of the prices you might see from 4-7. The vibe was super chill and were playing some trip hop like music which I really enjoyed. Later at night they dim the lights and then make it a little warmer for who ever is hanging out. The appetizer was so unique and the sauce that it came in was so delicious. The waiter brought us some bread and we were going to town dipping the bread into it. The chaufa is a very abundant portion and you could probably share. Honestly if you did a elote during happy hour and chaufa and some drinks you might leave with just spending maybe around 100. Overall the place is sophisticated and it is very cool calm and collected. Then again we haven't been when the DJ is there but I'm sure it's a lively spot for people who live nearby which I wouldn't mind either. Overall the staff was very amicable and the food was great! I also posted a picture of some items and what prices might look like. Giving my thumbs up for this one! Buen provecho my peeps. read more

Just went to this place. At first, it seemed nice, atmosphere was good. Service was nice, at first. Ordering the food was pretty easy, but for $24 dollars, it was NOT worth the price tag. 1. Barely any steak in the sandwiches. 2. Bread tasted low-quality 3. Food was cold 4. Avocado wasn't "grilled" 5. $9 for a small avocado read more

Based on the name, I expected some Colombian flavors, so I was a bit surprised to see that dishes from all countries were on the menu- in fact, the majority seemed Argentinean and Peruvian cuisines. The shrimp tiradito was my favorite part of the meal. The flavors were very complex, and the crispy quinoa gave it a wonderful texture. For the entree, I tried the Shrimp Fried Rice and the Gnocchi. The fried rice was pretty good, but the gnocchi was a bit too mushy for my liking, even though it was pan seared. For dessert, I tried the coconut flan. The actual flan itself was just okay, it's saving grace was the dulce de leche blobs that came on the side. I also was a bit disappointed that the coconut is not the flavor of the flan, but the cookies that come crumbled on the side. The drinks were very well made, we enjoyed the margarita and the aperol spritz very much! read more

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) read more

Amazing ambiance for a date night or chill night out with friends. The music is fabulous and the dim lighting gives a fabulous vibe overall. We shared several dishes, including the empanadas, crispy cheesy bites, elote, and grilled Caesar salad. We all agreed everything was delish sans the Caesar, which had a bit too much of a grilled taste. The dressing also didn't really taste like a true Caesar. A couple of us ordered the pumpkin ravioli, which was really tasty. I will say, if you're hungry and splitting food (as is recommended here), you might want to order an additional dish just cause only so many raviolis come in the dish, which is usually the case with ravioli of any kind. My friend and her niece split the chaufa, on the other hand, which they both seemed pleased with and even had leftovers of to take home. For dessert we all split the panquques with dulce de leche, which was really yummy - not in a crepe shape but similar kinda taste. Service could have been a bit more attentive in my opinion, but overall I definitely enjoyed the experience and would go back. read more
