If you're looking for an authentic Dominican Chimi, look no further. CHIMI TROPICAL has that…read moreunique, mouthwatering and characteristic taste that you can only find on a true traditional Dominican Chimichurri. At the moment you get to Chimi Tropical you feel like home, from the delicious smell that comes from their kitchen as you're approaching their food truck, the traditional music on the background, to German's excellent attention and welcoming behavior. You won't be dissapointed!!!. In over 13 years in the Tampa Bay Area I've tried many so-called "authentic Dominican Chimi" without any luck. They have by far the most variety of Chimi's in town (chicken, beef or pork). Their fried tostones with carne and empanadas (Cheese, chicken or ham and cheese) are made to perfection, without mentioning their morir soñando "die dreaming", which is truly a masterpiece.

When you enter the restaurant, there's no hostess stand or a sign that says to seat yourself. So it's a little confusing. Finally someone showed up from behind the bar to seat us. We ordered the house sangria and an appetizer. The house sangria was not sweet at all and tasted like a dry red wine. We waited a long time for our entrées to come out and they came out before our appetizer. We had to ask for salads that came with our meals. Our appetizer showed up not long after our main course. Now the food is excellent. My boyfriend had the seafood Camarones with the garlic sauce. I had the salmon with the Cajun sauce. I really preferred the garlic sauce. It was my first time trying mofongo. It had an interesting texture, almost like a stuffing. My boyfriend ordered a coffee at the end and again it took a long time for it to come out. Overall, the food & ambience was excellent, but the service could use improving.

SERENDIPITY…read more Serendipity is defined as good luck in making unexpected and fortunate discoveries. This was certainly the case as a crack caused me toI have the windshield replaced. "There will be a two hour wait." said the technician." A friend who had accompanied me and I set out to find a coffee shop to grab coffee and a snack as it was noon. We spotted what appeared to be a restaurant within walking distance. The sign outside "Tropical Cuisine" did not prepare us for what awaited inside. The restaurant is located at 9005 E Adamo Dr, Tampa, Florida As we entered and the door closed behind us we were amazed at the size of the restaurant and we found ourselves on a food line that stretched the full length of the restaurant. As we sat sipping a coffee and enjoying a doughnut Federal Express, postal workers, police, contractors, business workers and families with children provided a steady flow of customers to the unending line. We both decided to jump on the food line. The trip through the line presented two problems. With so many culinary choices we were selecting more than we could eat. When we got to the table we both realized we had more food than was possible to consume. The quality and taste of the food explained the unending arrival of customers. My friend begins to load his Takeout Box which will provide two additional meals. We will be returning in the near future. What a great find.
