Everything is amazing! I've had most the dishes on this menu and love them all! I became vegetarian a few months back and this is one of the few restaurants that is just as great as before! Definitely my favorite restaurant.
Llapingachos were great to try and kind of reminded me of a pupusa but breakfast style! I loved the avocado sauce and tomatoes paired with. The Encocado mahi mahi was probably my favorite. The coconut sauce paired really well and reminded me of Thai curry but leaning more towards the nuttier rounded flavor profile. It goes really well with the green sauce they have and the plantains! The mahi mahi was really tender. Well priced, nice way to explore Ecuadorian cuisine. Decor was cute inside the restaurant. Service was quick and attentive. Note that Amex isn't accepted but other credit cards are.
We love this place!!! Today we got some different drinks, limeade and chicha morada (blue corn) both were tasty. Our table got the honrado con papa - the meat was super tender and flavorful and the potato cheese pancakes had a nice crunchy finish and gooey inside. We also got seco de carne (my fav) and chaulafan which is like Ecuadorian fried rice. Everything was amazing. We also really love the green sauce they serve with the entrees.
Amazing food! I didn't really know what to expect as I haven't tried Ecuadorian food before but what stood out the most to me was how flavorful the meat was. We tried entrees with chicken, steak and pork and I couldn't believe how good every kind of meat was. Whatever they marinate it in is soooo flavorful! The portion size was big and we all left really full. For the quality and portion size I think it was really reasonably priced! We went on a Saturday and it was busy, there was a line out the door. But the food was worth the wait! Most of the entrees came with a green sauce that was so good we asked for two more servings of it. Inside the restaurant it feels like you're actually in Ecuador with the colors and decorations. I'll definitely be back!
If you've never had Ecuadorian or Andean cuisine before, Chimborazo is the perfect place to start--and if you have, it's the kind of restaurant that feels like coming home. My first visit was during early-fall patio season, but even as the weather cools and the patio takes a well-earned rest, the same warmth and flavor can be found inside. Their interior is spacious, cozy, and welcoming--like being invited into someone's (very stylish) family kitchen. That feeling isn't an accident. Chimborazo is family-owned, and you can taste that care in every bite. Every dish feels personal--like it was cooked by someone who wants you to leave happy and full. It's not often you find a restaurant that nails both authenticity and atmosphere, but Chimborazo does it effortlessly. During this visit, I sampled: - "Guanabana" juice: I'm usually a big fan of guanabana, but this version didn't quite hit the sweet spot for me--it leaned a bit on the bitter side. Still, it's an adventurous choice, and if you're feeling curious (or brave), it might just surprise you. - "Muchín de Yuca": Deep-fried cassava croquettes filled with queso fresco. These little bites were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Served with an aji criollo dipping sauce, a form of (not spicy) chili pepper, they were good, but not as great as the empanadas. - "Empanada de Carne": As a self-proclaimed empanada connoisseur, I can confidently say this one hit the mark. The flour empanada was fried to a perfect golden crisp and stuffed with tender, well-seasoned beef and a mix of vegetables. You could practically taste the care that went into marinating and seasoning the filling--it was savory, satisfying, and honestly, a little addictive. -"Churrasco": This plate was a flavor-packed powerhouse. Grilled flank steak arrived juicy and tender, accompanied by rice, a fried egg, beans, sweet plantains, and freshly cut French fries. The beans stole the show for me--slow-cooked to perfection, rich, and full of flavor. The combination of the soft white rice and sweet plantains made every bite comforting and balanced. Generous, hearty, and undeniably satisfying, this dish is the kind of meal that makes you appreciate the art of Andean comfort food. -"Tres Leches": The perfect ending to an already incredible meal--and easily my favorite bite of the day. I've tried my fair share of Tres Leches around the Twin Cities, but Chimborazo's version has officially claimed a spot in my top three. It's creamy, perfectly sweet, and soaked in a dreamy milk mixture that's rich without feeling heavy. I'll admit, I stretched it out over a couple of days to make it last--eating it in careful quarters like it was culinary gold. Some desserts are worth savoring slowly, and this one is absolutely one of them. The service at Chimborazo deserves its own round of applause. Even during the busy lunch rush, everything ran smoothly without feeling rushed. My waitress was friendly and attentive, taking the time to answer my (many) questions about the menu with genuine enthusiasm. She even offered a free sample of their homemade Limonada. Like the food, the service struck that rare balance of warmth and professionalism--proof that great hospitality is just as much a part of the experience as what's on the plate. Looking forward to my next visit, and in the meantime, I hope you'll give them a try! Pro tip: come hungry, and don't skip the "Tres Leches".
Fantastic place. Good food. Nice staff. The ambiance is packed but it's great. I would recommend them to anyone.
Really authentic, unique flavorful food. We tried this place after seeing a movie at the lovely heights theater. Delicious coconut shrimp platter and the empanada I had was super good. Delicious potato fries and sweet plantains. Full of people! Very popular place. Very fun to try something different. Only cons: expensive (30 a person) and parking lot is TINY
This was a fun place! The food was good and it was our first time here so the server gave some recommendations. I got the pork plate, the meat was really good and I like the cheese stuffed pancake like item. The corn wasn't very flavorful so I ate it with the sauce. I really liked the cheese empanada. My friend got the coconut shrimp dish and really enjoyed it as well.
Went to Chimbarazo for an early dinner for work and it was such a good experience. It's cozy, intimate, with comforting food and lovely people. The service was superb, so kind and attentive. The food was fulfilling and flavorful. The Ecuadorian fried rice, the ceviche, and yucca were PHENOMENAL. Highly recommend Chimbarazo and can't wait to go back.
Amazing and delicious. The flavors are strong and the service is so nice. There are many amazing options on the menu but it's hard to pick something new when the first thing I tried was so good. The Seco de Carne is a plate where everything tastes amazing together. The meat was very tender and I added a fried egg. Free street parking is a nice plus.
Finally went here and we were so glad we did. I went with my vegetarian family members and they loved it. I also thought there empanadas were yummy. Definitely try their soups as well. Great little parking lot. Service was amazing. Cute place!!
If you want to try a different cuisine and try new food, I'd highly recommend Chimborazo! Every time I go to Chimborazo I leave more excited to go back! Food is full of flavor and cooked to perfection! The servers are always kind and knowledgeable about the menu.
This is a wonderful spot! The ambiance is casual, bright and colorful. The service was good. We ordered the shrimp encocado which was creamy and savory. We also ordered the chicken Lomo saltado which was a great combo of veggies, meat and sauce with a hint of spice. Overall the food was tasty! They offer date night specials on Wednesday's which comes with a bottle of wine and 2 entrees (options vary weekly) for $55.

I've been for dinner twice, and both times service was great! This time I sat outside because the weather was nice. Their patio area is cute and the chairs are comfortable. Food is good. The beef wasn't as tender as I hoped, but the flavor was good. The plantains were delicious! Note - they have a very small parking lot, but it is really easy to find nearby free street parking read more
Chimborazo remains a staple of NE. When I have friends visit, they are always requesting to come back. They have vegetarian options and a variety of Ecuadorian main stays. This time around I ordered the Chaulafan which was a massive portion- I definitely recommend ordering and sharing for the table. The server was knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations. Sitting out on the patio is a joy in the summer. read more

Chimborazo is an amazing place you must stop in and try! Have been here multiple times because the food keeps driving me back!! Every time I have come, I walk in and there's always been a table available without waiting. The hostess and waiters are amazing at their jobs -- fast, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and recommendations. The outdoor seating is fun to people watch and enjoy the greenery around the edges of the space. Love everything I've eaten here, and at top of my list I would highly recommend the empanadas, seco de carne (beef stew), and saltado. The patacones are impeccable and addicting! There's also a Date Night special that is hard to beat -- 2 entrees and a bottle of wine! Menu items also offer vegetarian options which is a great option to accommodate differing preferences. Love this place and look forward to coming again soon!! read more
I have been to Ecuador. As a foodie. And I will say up front: This is authentic. So absolutely five stars for Chimborazo and a go-to place for you to enjoy in Minneapolis-St. Paul. My friend came over to meet me on my journey south, and I'm so glad he's adventurous enough to eat at a place like this. We spent awhile poring over the menu and I ended up with caldo de bolas de verde (plaintain dumpling soup) and hornado con papas (pork with pancakes and corn). The food arrived quickly, as did our drinks (homemade raspberry and clementine - the clementine was outstanding on my end), and I offer the following: * Soup is authentic. Every spoonful evoked memories of Quito for me. * Pork is AMAZING. The. Most. Flavorful. I've ever had. And so moist. I don't know how they managed to make pork that puts BBQ to shame, but Chimborazo are magicians with meat. * Little llapingachos (cheese potato pancakes) that my friend and I could not stop eating. Little noms of joy. * The big-kerneled corn mote that is a South American specialty. Not quite as big as down there, but ya know what? Bigger than American corn. They sourced it from somewhere. * A delicious side of curtido to complement it all. Five stars for service. Six stars for food. Ambiance, maybe a little less. By the end of the night it was getting crowded and loud in there. Bench seats, a little on the low-scale side of things. But you know what? To locate on the corner and keep prices down like this, I would much rather you make the insides plain and invest all your money and heart and soul in the food. A+. If you've ever been to Ecuador, you will love it here. If not, once you eat here, you will want to go to Ecuador. Or just keep coming back here. :) read more

Excellent place to try Ecuadorian cuisine. We got there and the ambient was really nice, they welcome you with a really big smile. We got to our table and it was a totally different experience from other Latin places we had been, clean and calm. We sat down outside, they have a nice "tent" the music was just perfect volume/type. We ordered Caldo de bolas and Hornado con papas, it was DELICIOUS I was born in Ecuador and as soon as a tasted the food brought me back so many memories, the quality and quantity was perfect, you pay for what you get. 100% recommend you must go there. read more

Their Pollo Saltado (or the classic Lomo Saltado) is probably my favorite dish from any restaurant, ever. So unique, tangy, a little spicy - I dream about it. The yucca fries are a must. They also have rotating flavors of frozen sangria which always hit. Chimborazo has my heart forever. read more

Great space, plenty of residential parking, and fantastic staff. My friends and I got there 5 minutes before the breakfast menu closed and the server was so wonderful and took our orders really quick. I got there llapingachos breakfast and it was DELICIOUS! The potato pancakes were so soft and so flavorful; all the spices combined together so well! And of course the pulled pork was super juicy and yummy. My partner got the Chimborazo breakfast hash with the ribs and it was equally delicious. The has had a good amount of veggies that was super juicy and the rest in the ribs melted off the bones. The pancake, all delicious. Overall, I would definitely comeback! read more

True definition of comfort food that satisfies all types of cravings! I have been to this place many times and almost everytime has been a good experience, especially because it opens until a bit later on weekends, which has allowed me to find food when I wasn't able to get so elsewhere. Although I have not had the churrasco yet, I have had the flank steak as a side and can guarantee its tastiness. Seco de Carne has very tender stewed beef which makes it a very tasty dish. The vegetarian sandwiches (Sánduche Vegetariano) are also very tasty because of the avocado and mayonnaise combination. I would also recommend the empanadas even if I have only tried the cheese kind, and I am sure the beef one tastes even better. However, the Saltado has always seemed to be a hit or miss depending on who gets it. I have had times when my friends didn't enjoy it at all, and I would feel the same because it was too sour, causing me to overcompensate it with rice, which has, on the contrary, made the Vegetariano Saltado a much better option for my taste. The shrimp ceviche is also slightly beyond my taste buds, as I do not enjoy the corn kernels inside, but I understand that it's most likely my own taste because I have seen the same combination in Peruvian ceviche before. Regardless of the few dishes that I don't enjoy as much, I think this place brings VALUE to the Minneapolis residents and that alone makes it a spot that people can comfortably rely on, and that's why it deserves a 5 star all the way! read more
I've had Chimborazo recommended to me multiple times and I regret waiting so long to try it out! The flavors were so unique and perfectly done. Between three people, we shared 3 entrees-- the chicken saltado, llapingachos con chorizo, and a shrimp/scallop dish that was a daily special. All of them were amazing and worked perfectly together. I've never tasted a dish seasoned as perfectly as the saltado. It was my first time trying limeade and I'm already ready to go back for it! Everyone was so nice. The interior is cozy and was packed even on a Wednesday-- you can tell it's a well loved local place. The prices are reasonable for portion size and how high quality the dishes were. Absolutely try Chimborazo! read more

This is my husband's favorite restaurant of all time. This authentic Ecuadorian cuisine started out small and since they started and have expanded their space in Northeast and added a St. Paul location. They also have food trucks during the warmer weather. Our favorites are the saltado and many of their breakfast/brunch options. We brought our Ecuadorian friend there and she said it really tasted like back home for her. We are biased because it is walking distance from our house and we do go there a lot. They have great service, cute outdoor patio and their food won't disappoint!! read more

We are visiting from Hawaii for a wedding and found this restaurant online because we are trying as many different ethnic restaurants in Minneapolis as we can. I had a delicious limeade with mint to drink while my husband tried the Blue Corn drink which came in a bottle. We shared two main dishes: lapingachos (cheese potato pancakes) with chorizo and a perfectly seasoned beef, potato and pepper stew served over rice. The wait staff was young and pleasant. On a Friday night we didn't have to wait for a table. Bring a sweater, it was air-conditioned. The restaurant is not in a "fancy pants" part of town, but has a parking lot and we would have felt comfortable parking on the street. This is our kind of restaurant! read more
The fried rice is one of the best I've ever had. It includes all proteins, and the flavor is vibrant. It has all the colors, and is really appetizing. Tastes as good as it looks. I had the Saltado too. It was good, but I don't understand the fries in the dish. It kind of feels like a Latin American poutine. They're soggy, but tasty. I couldn't get over the texture, but if you can, they're great. Slightly expensive IMO. read more
