My boyfriend and I have been coming here for the last 2 years and we love it. We usually come straight from the dog park (Fetch) because Chiringa allows dogs inside and they are VERY pet friendly! When you walk in, you order at the counter, they give you a number, and they bring your food to you. When they are super busy on weekends or event nights, the food can take up to 45 minutes. When you are in the restaurant, it truly feels like you are at the beach based on the ambiance. I always get the Cabo taco with fried chicken and my boyfriend always mixes it up between fried shrimp and the fried fish sandwich. For drinks I always get the Frozè and it's so refreshing! We highly recommend this place. They opened a new location on the beltline about a year ago and I believe they took their Alpharetta manager with them - we miss her because the service was great with her. Overall 5/5 stars and a great place to take your family! read more

I cannot find any wings throughout Atlanta like Chiringa's Jerk Wings! They are perfection. A long-time medical assistant at my office let me know taste one of her from the location on the Belt Line, and I had to have them for lunch one day. I ordered from the Alpharetta location. My order was ready for pick-up in 15-19 minutes. It was ready on-time. I added on a side of the black beans with yellow rice which was excellent. I order all flats. Everything about the flavor, the grilled texture, and the tenderness of these wings is spectacular. They are some of the best I've had, and I love wings. Get these when you go! read more

CHIRINGA - Fried shrimp basket with fries, lemon aioli, and chipotle crema (all GF) - Bars Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

I will say it was easy to order online. Paloma was disappointing and for $13 no rim of any type nor lime which I needed as the flavor of the drink was really lacking compared to many I've had in the past at other restaurants. Ordered 2 fresh fish and 2 shrimp tacos and fried pickles. We got 3 shrimp tacos and 1 fish and also didn't have right toppings. For $5.50 more I wanted to get the order correct but my husband said it wasn't worth waiting in the crazy line again. The fish portion small. Fried pickles batter was thick and overcooked. Maybe an off night? read more

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! read more

This place could very well be my favorite spot in downtown. Especially being gluten free, the options are endless. Staff is always super friendly, the vibes are great with indoor and outdoor seating. The fish is super fresh! Margaritas on point. Definitely recommend! read more

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. read more

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! read more

CHIRINGA - Fried Snapper Taco - Delicious! - Bars Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Food is amazing!!! And extensive gluten free options. Fish tacos and crab balls were the highlights of dinner.

The food was delicious. I was stopping here before hitting the road and did not see that this restaurant did not have parking. That's my only complaint the location. We enjoyed our meal after panicking about the possibility of a ticket read more

Overpriced, not worth the money. Paid $33 for a fish sandwich with nasty fries. Manager did not offer even to redo fries. Not the cleanest place. read more

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? read more

CHIRINGA - Shrimp Baja Taco (GF) - Bars Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

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. read more

CHIRINGA - JASON MOMOA WAS HERE - Bars Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

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! read more

New to the area and I swear by Yelp! It saved me during my starting times in PA. Grateful to say Chiringa didn't under deliver. The atmosphere, large tv, attentive waitstaff everything great! The shrimp basket was delicious and my other half got the chicken sandwich. Delicious!!! Make sure to grab a margarita! read more

For a while I have gone here and it is the best food experience I have had in Georgia. The people who serviced were fast and Very nice. I love the beach vibes in this place. I have a shrimp allergy they had options to avoid that and the Chicken was awesome! If you are in ALPHERETTA I definitely recommend this to you! read more

Great drinks Strong drinks the way I like them Great menu Nice variety Quick service read more

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 ! read more

Family 9 ate inside various ages. Everyone got The food they wanted from burgers to lobster rolls. Both were enjoyed! Lobster Roll left the basket fast a yummy treat. Personally I had pan seared snapper sandwich I really enjoyed. Kids had tenders enjoyed them also. Great to have eclectic menu for all to enjoy. Great to have full bar. Ambiance was perfect overlooking the village green. Seating in or out. Awesome. Staff does a great job and they seem to enjoy their jobs. read more

We have since returned and tried some of the food. Hubs and I were blown away! We were also very satisfied with our margaritas - more so than the first time. We opted to upgrade the tequila to Casamigos and I am happy we did. We tried the following: Mahi Mahi Sandwich ($19.99) Cheeseburger ($13.99) 24oz Ringa Rita with Casamigos ($14.25 + $4) The fish sandwich, while pricey, was dreamy. The fish was so perfectly fried and seasoned. So juicy and flavorful! The bun it was served with was amazing. The side of fries was super satisfying and well seasoned. For a fried fish sandwich and a side of fries, it was not at all greasy or heavy. (Or perhaps that was the tequila!) The burger was amazing. Amazing. So juicy, great amount of cheese, also great bun. I opted for a side of fries sweet plantains instead of fries and I feel so fortunate to have had that option. I love plantains so much - so it was really nice to have an option for the side dish. Our lunch was pricey for two sandwiches and two drinks - $77 and change. That said, we cannot wait to go back. The quality and taste of the food and drinks is really amazing. I am a firm believer of you get what you pay for! I am happy to return here and pay the price tag. There was live music at the time we visited and the musician was so sweet singing for the little girl up front with him. It was really nice to watch. I love all the seating with umbrellas to provide some shade. It's becoming our favorite spot to hangout in downtown! We cannot wait to return to try more of the food and another round of 'ritas! read more

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. read more

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! read more

CHIRINGA - Lemon basil chicken salad sandwich and cucumber salad - Bars Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

The food and margaritas here are FANTASTIC. I would recommend it for take out though. There was outdoor seating, but we didn't see tables cleaned once while we were there. There is outdoor ordering as well, but the tables are not super spaced out. It was still packed pretty tight, but may be better during off hours. I love the margaritas here and would recommend. They are so tasty and pack quite a punch. The guac and chips are also really good. I got the fish tacos and they were quite pricier than the other tacos, $8 vs $3. But it was really fresh and delicious so I would say it was worth it. Definitely stop by. This is a great addition to the Alpharetta area. read more

Chiringa is located next to the green space in Downtown Alpharetta and it's a small, self-service beach bar and restaurant offering alcoholic drinks to-go, tacos, fried chicken and more. I wasn't super hungry so I just had the Paloma cocktail, it was served in a big plastic cup and it was strong! My friend had the baja tacos and enjoyed it. It is a very casual atmosphere and the food and drinks are all served in plastic/to-go style. You can sit outside and enjoy the weather on a nice sunny day. read more

CHIRINGA - Inside - Bars Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Another A+ experience with our kids today. The restaurant had a special low country boil event going on with live music and free birthday cake. We were a little concerned at first that we were crashing someone's private party, but the attendant serving the cake assured us the event was for everyone...just to celebrate Spring's arrival. I didn't catch her name but she was so bubbly and helpful. It was just as packed as on our first visit, if not more so, but the service was still excellent. The low country boil was so yummy and our kids (who are notoriously picky) gobbled up the food so quickly that we got another order for them to split. Two different managers stopped by to check on us during our meal and the general manager circled back around a few minutes after her first visit to the table to bring our dog a treat! This is definitely going to be our regular weekend hangout spot this Spring/Summer. Our kids had a blast running around the big turf area with other kids...which gaven my husband and I an opportunity to enjoy a cocktail in peace. Win/win! (and I should also mention that the cocktails are ALL so good....and made with fresh squeezed citrus fruit) read more

Really good frozen margarita! Quirky and pretty. Would definitely go back. Parking in the back parking deck with the shops

I've been wanting to go to Chiringa for awhile, but can never make my way to Alpharetta. Last weekend I was in the area so I finally got the opportunity to go. It was pretty cold that night so when we got there, there wasn't a huge crowd. We were able to go right to the counter and order. I ordered the Core 57 bowl and added grilled chicken. It did take a bit of time for our food to come out and while I think it's nice to have connections with regular customers, that took away from us get tying or food out promptly. Where we were sitting I could see when our food came up, but both waitresses were talking to another customer and failed to check for when food came up. Not to mention we were starving. When we finally got our food it was just average. I do I'd enjoy the sauce that came with it because it did add flavor to the bowl. I felt the chicken was a bit dry and could've used a bit more seasoning, but when you ate everythung together with thee sauce it was better. I will day the plantains were w cooked very well, and I really enjoyed those. It had a nice crispy coating on the outside, and a sweet softness on the inside. The atmosphere was nice and laid back. I didn't realize how small of a space it was thought while it has somewhat of a bar feel, it may be difficult if you have a large group. I'm not sure how busy theey get during weekends especially during big games and football seasoon, but something to note. As mentioned before, I thought it was average, but I'd go back again to try some of their other options that caught my attention. read more

Chiringa has my heart! Chiringa is a counter service restaurant that serves clean proteins, fresh fish, and a full-bar including fresh-squeezed juices for cocktails. The menu is simple. They offer dips, salads, handhelds, bowls, and lots of sauces. They have a laid back, beachy vibe. The space is bright, open, and decorated with colorful kites. Indoor and outdoor seating available. During my visit, I tried the following: Frosé $10 Chop Chop Bowl with Blackened Chicken $9.99 Guacamole with half fried corn tortillas and half fried plantains $9.99 Their mottos are "Eat Well. Fly High" and "Elevated Beach Food." I believe they stay true to that. Although some of the items are a bit on the pricey side, you can tell the food is made with fresh, quality ingredients, and tons of flavor! Beware, the drinks are strong and delicious! The staff are friendly and attentive. The location is great. It's right in the heart of downtown Alpharetta, next to the lawn and fountain. Plenty of street and garage parking available. I will be back soon! read more

This was the first time we've been to this restaurant and really enjoyed it! We went around 8pm on a Wednesday so it wasn't very crowded. They had a ton of TVs on sports channels which I wasn't expecting. I definitely would come here to watch a game. We asked for food recommendations from the employee who took our order at the front counter. I ended up ordering the fresh Mahi Mahi (fish of the day) sandwich with sweet plantains. The fish itself was amazing! I recommend trying it with "Awesome" sauce. They have a bunch of sauces to choose from which are made from scratch. Awesome sauce has about 15 different ingredients in it. It made the Mahi Mahi extra tasty. The sweet plantains were also very good and very fresh. There was a bit a salt sprinkled on them as well. The fresh catch of the day is a bit pricey but the menu is quite reasonable. I definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

So yummy! I've wanted to try this place for several months. Was finally in the area so gave it a shot. Amazing flavors! The froze is soooo good! My husband had the chicken sandwich- it was SO yummy. Fries are delicious, shoestring style. I had the guacamole- really good flavor & delicious homemade chips. Disappointed there weren't any plantain chips- it was supposed to be a mixed variety. I had the Baja style fried fish taco. The Baja flavors were on point. I DO NOT RECOMMEND any fish in the state of Georgia. The Mahi was spoiled, brown & reeking. I couldn't eat it. I will try the chicken taco next time. I've had fish in Georgia multiple times now and every time it's inedible. I'm from Seattle and unfortunately been spoiled with delicious, fresh fish there. If fish is spoiling, you should not be serving It. read more
