The best and freshest guacamole!
Lauren S.

Chiringa is an Alpharetta staple! The staff, the food, and the owners are all incredible humans and love serving people who visit. Lauren, Bekah, and Logan are just the absolute best! They recently added a few new menu items -- the queso and the shrimp Crab fitters (almost tastes like a crab cake) were so good! The wings will always be one of my favorites and ah, the shrimp tacos are superb!

My first time trying this spot at the recommendation of a friend. The menu had several items that sounded good, like shrimp and fish baskets. The fresh catch or the day was red snapper so I tried the blackened sandwich with their house fries and was disappointed. The fish was overcooked that it was stiff and hard no seasoning and both the fish and fries were greasy. We did arrive around lunch time. The wait for our meal was long and then the sandwich was warm.others in my group liked their wings and tacos but this was not satisfactory for the price . The best thing is the outdoor seating area overlooking the green in the downtown Alpharetta area. Not sure if I can recommend but your experience may be better. Sorry but this was not a good meal.

Fried Snapper Taco - Delicious!
Dixie B.

As soon as I walked in the door, one of the partners said hello to me. It literally surprised me; I wasn't expecting that. But, boy, was I impressed. The young lady who took my order was very caring regarding my food sensitivities. She even came to my table while I was dining to be sure that everything was as I anticipated. The atmosphere is eclectic, which I appreciate. And, importantly for a southern girl, the iced tea was good. But let's talk about the tacos! I was able to get FRIED Snapper fish tacos! Gluten-free! You know I got one of each. Yes, you do. Anyway, I enjoyed my meal, and I know you will, too, so come on over!

Shrimp Baja Taco (GF)

Amongst the nastiest food I've ever had. No seasoning whatsoever and the underside of the plantains were completely burned. Do not waste your time, the food literally tastes like cardboard. You are charged per taco, per plantain, I had to laugh because what??? Was I going to be charged per lemon for the lemonade?

To start positive, the customer service is fantastic. 5 stars. Super nice ladies, nice location and coastal decor. Today, all I wanted was good food for lunch. I had a taste for lobster and I couldn't wait for dinner to get it. For one, none of the food was hot. It was not crowded, and when I called, she said 15mins, so I assumed it was made to order. Did not taste that way. I arrive under 15mins, the bag was already packaged ready to go like it had been sitting there. I ordered 6 jerk wings, not hot, all drums with one flat, that's crazy, fried plantains (I thought online said 6, I got 3) they were barely warm and slightly hard. I didn't finish them, and what I came for the lobster roll. The lobster roll was $29, small, chewy, lacking flavor, and the roll slight burned on the bottom. It came with fries. As soon as I got to the car I rushed to open the fries so the could ventilate and not get soggy. No need, from the 15 steps to the car, fries ice cold like they been sitting for and hour. The super skinny fries that get cold fast anyway but they were not even lukewarm. I'm total I spent $50! On a lunch that was not good. I'm so mad at myself it's ridiculous. Disappointing. Lastly, good luck with parking. I just do happened to get a shot right in front of the restaurant, in handicap. I was not circling around I'm sorry. I just parked ran in and out. All street parking. I don't know where that area accommodates everyone. Hater I wasted my money. Terrible.

Outstanding Love the staff, food, vibe EVERYTHING My favorite is the Cuban sandwich. Fries are lit too!

We came here for a late lunch, early dinner before heading to a concert at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre. Downtown Alpharetta is as charming as it sounds! There are tons of restaurants and shops and kids playing in the water fountain when we came here. There is street parking and public parking towards the back. Crowd was picking up when we got here on a Saturday afternoon around 4:30 pm and we luckily grabbed a spot. From the parking lot, it's a short walk to Chiringa. It was our first time here and I was thrown off not expecting it to be counter service. While we enjoyed everything we ordered, price point wise, we found it moderate to expensive. My husband and I ordered a small guacamole, 12 pc chicken wings, power bowl with grilled shrimp and a cocktail - this cost about $63 including tip. They offer fish at market price, which was snapper on the day we visited for additional $29!!! Their lobster rolls were about the same price, so we opted out of those. The vibes here was beach casual. It's definitely a local joint because the workers knew people coming in by name. Also a very dog-friendly space, which I loved because I have dogs of my own but I would take into consideration if you're not much of a dog person. Food-wise, I found their food a tad too salty. The guacamole was delicious and came right away. The tortillas served with the guacamole were freshly made. I was underwhelmed with my power bowl - it came with brown rice, beans, arugula, plantains, grilled shrimp and side of salsa and cilantro sauce. My favorite was the cilantro sauce. Even though I was underwhelmed with the size of my bowl, it ended up being the perfect portion as I wasn't overly full. The wings were delicious, but again kind of salty. It had a nice spice from the rub too. This is a solid choice if you're in the area. Glad I got to try it!

a sandwich and a salad in a styrofoam container
Mhailene M.

Very nice place for downtown Alpharetta area! It's different in terms of seating and ordering style is at the counter, most seating is outside so if it gets busy, you may have to get things to go. Food is good but spicy! I just got shrimp and Mahi tacos and also chips and salsa. Everything is a la carte so you order what you want. They have alcoholic beverages and the restaurant has a beach vibe feel to it. Parking is all along the street or in the parking garage with a short walk. Service is friendly and food came out in an ok amount of time. I'd love to come back and try more !

Lemon basil chicken salad sandwich and cucumber salad
Katie L.

I've been wanting to try Chiringa for a while now--finally did. It was good! The food was fresh. The inside was decorated in a way that made you feel like you were eating by the ocean. I had the lemon basil chicken salad sandwich and the cucumber salad for my side. Others with me had the Greek salad and the fried shrimp and they both loved their food. Would visit again.

Outdoor seating area.

I want to give a shout out to the Alpharetta Chiringa restaurant. The compliment isn't so much about food or drink but more about the effort the restaurant gives to being good neighbors and welcoming to everyone. It is located adjacent to our Alpharetta City Center green space. The restaurant owner/manager works hard to provide fun things for families to do and no one gets upset about the many people (often who may not be a customer) using the restroom or the outdoor seating. Everyone is always pleasant, upbeat and welcoming! Food is very good. Drinks are good and reasonably priced. Just a nice, casual atmosphere all around! A great ambassador restaurant for Alpharetta City Center. Thanks Chiringa for being a part of our thriving community!! Be sure to give it a try if you haven't already!

The beau and I stopped by after we went hiking. Super cute spot. Plenty of outside dining available. There's a lawn area next to the place so you can bring a blankey and make it a picnic date!! I ordered the fish sandwich (market rate). You can get it grilled, fried or blackened. Fish of the day today was mahi-mahi. I chose grilled and got it with fries. Comes with tomatoes, arugula and a lemon aioli. The mahi was seasoned very well. I love when places get it eight and don't serve "fishy" tasting fish. It was a large portion and was way bigger than the bun. No problems there! Lol. I just cut off the extra and ate it by itself to make it more manageable to eat. The fries were really good too! Seasoned to perfection and had a great combo of crispy fries and not so crispy. The beau ordered the bacon and guacamole burger with plantains as the side. Comes with cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, arugula, tomatoes, and red onion. He said the burger was really good and some how it disappeared within minutes. Lol. The guac was delicious! He also had a sauce that I'm assuming came with the plantains. It was a salsa verde and was so yummy!! I dipped my fries in it but the game changer was when I dipped his plantains in it. Clutch my pearls!! My tastebuds did a happy dance for sure! If you love that sweet and savory mix, definitely give it a try!! We both also ordered the OG Frozen Margarita. Got a chance to dip on that while we waited for our food. You order inside and then you can seat yourself outside. They text when your food is ready so you can come back in and pick it up. The Margarita was very tasty, pretty tart, which I loved. They have 16 and 24 oz available. Their drink menus has a decent amount of options to try as well. Love this place and would definitely come back. I want to try one of the bowls and the lobster roll.

See all

To eat, I ordered a shrimp burrito. It was mostly filled with vegetables and a small amount of shrimp. I did enjoy the chips and salsa. With other great restaurants on the area, I cannot see myself returning.

It is a descent place. The service was good... it wasn't busy here... so I think we got a lot of focus for sure. The menu is extensive. Lots of dishes to choose from. My wife always orders the guac when we go to Mexican. I get the queso... I can't stand guac. I mean just look at it... I swear I have too many kids and changed too many diapers to eat anything that looks like this! Anyway once past the aps we got to our meals and I was pleasantly surprise. My boys liked it, I liked it, and my wife liked it! Eureka... a Mexican place that we all enjoyed and it wasn't out of this world expensive! I recommend stopping in and trying a thing or two.. you'll be glad you did!
