First of all: This business is still called Jaque Mate, but the menus and the check are already with the new name: Que Chimbo Parce. I've gone to Jaque Mate in the Kendall Village mall, and so far I'm still happy with them. Now, as for this Que Chimbo Parce: If there's something I'll never forgive is when a business tries to rip you off. And, yes, many other business include the tip already in your check (a practice I really dislike, but can sometimes understand), but most of them include the tip as it should be: 1) it SAYS it's included 2) it is calculated before tax 3) it is optional to raise it, reduce it, eliminate it, or leave it 4) they CLEARLY state that the space below is for ADDITIONAL tip. Don't get me wrong, the server went above and beyond for us and she deserved a good tip. But that should be MY CHOICE, not the restaurant's, and the fact that they tried to charge the additional tip as a regular tip and calculated it AFTER TIP AND TAX ensures I'm not going back. As for the food. We had tequeños. An order gives you five, with two sauces on the side. I didn't care much for the guava sauce, though you may like it if you're into that sort of thing, but the garlic sauce was very nice. We also shared a parrilla personal. The menu says it includes morcilla, but the server was very clear it was an error and it didn't include it before taking our order. It was quite good, for an appetizer, though I doubt is what you have in mind if you're going for it as an entré (worked perfectly for us because we were precisely in the mood for a bite to share). Overall, the restaurant was nice and clean and no complaints about the service... but those deceitful practices have to stop! read more

I passed by this place and it caught my attention with the music and it just looked cool overall. Finally came in tonight. We got sat down quick, took about 10 minutes to get our order taken. Got some beers and a hookah. Hookah is $20 but to be honest I've had better hookah and last longer for that price...so not really impressed. The guy waiter that's passing by, didn't even check or see that our coal had turned off already, I believe he was giving complementary chips to the tables too and he just looked at ours and kept walking and gave the chips to another table. So regarding the hookah, we unwrapped the foil because we felt it lasted way to little and of course there was still a good amount that was good to be smoked, so we asked the waitress if they charged for giving us another coal since ours burned out and I believe I heard her say it was $3 for that (including the tobacco) and I told her there was a good amount we still had left. Luckily they put a new coal for us. Most likely because the guy going around didn't pay attention to our table and hookah. Along with the waitress, she barely passed by. If she came by it was maybe like 2-3 times compared to how the other tables were served. Beers were $5 (Corona). So by the time we got our check they charge a service fee of 18%, so that's their tip that's included and they still ask for a tip at the end when paying. I'll pass by again and see if service is a little more attentive but if not won't go back and it's not a big deal. read more

We came here her for my Wife's birthday lunch. Upon arriving we were kindly greeted by the hostess, the decoration on the place is really interesting since the whole place is themed as a checkmate board and have references all over the place. The menu is mostly Venezuelan food, then again this is a Venezuelan restaurant so duh We asked for the mojito special on the happy hour it was 2 for $9 and they were super good/ classic and strawberry mojito's are We weren't that hungry so we just asked for a Parrimate which contained churrasco/chicken strips, Arepas w/cheese, Avocado, Blood sausage and Spain sausages, Fries, and a chicken breast. Everything on that plate was really good, I don't eat a lot of blood sausages but man those were really tasty and the churrasco strips had a really soft and juicy texture LOVE IT! We also asked for a Beef soup and Fried calamari afterwards and these two didn't disappoint ! I would be coming back in the future to try the rest of the menu and definitely recommend this place to anyone that is up for some good drinks and quick bites! I would love it here if they had more arepa variety like arepa mechada and stuff like that but hey who am I to complain these place is already good the way it is! read more

I am a very visual person, so when I saw the name and the decoration inside the restaurant (all themed like a checkmate board) I was intrigued to try it out! The food is mostly Venezuelan, I enjoyed the the queso frito with the tortilla and shared with my boyfriend a parrimate, a plate with a little bit of everything. To drink we had two classic mojitos, which are super refreshing and delicious. Definitely will be back! read more

Excellent service. Tequeños with guava sauce are great. Service was pretty fast and people extremely kind on this place. Price is very accesible. They have happy hours between 4 pm to 7 pm. I recommend this place to go with your family or friend to have an amazing time. Inside they have a/c and outside you can smoke if you want to do so. Bathroom are on the second floor, they have stairs and elevator. You will love it. Highly reconmend it. read more

Never had my favorite food served on one plate. Everything on the platter was amazing!! The queso frito with the tortilla was out of this world. I definitely recommend this place for anyone who's into meats and chicken. The platter also comes with fries underneath the food. read more

The place is good, nice environment. Good customer service and food. Prices are decent but the drinks are too soft and sweet specially the mojitos and the lemonade too sweet for my taste. The mojitos were too soft looks like they are running out of alcohol or something I don't know. The waiter was giving pretty good attention and don't have any complaints. Also tip is included at the time when you pay. Ah! Almost forget I'm taking a star because of the drinks aren't too good and quite expensive. read more

This is the best place to drink mojitos! Omg their mojitos are AWESOME!!! And if you go on happy hour you get mojitos and margaritas just for $3! Their ceviche is pretty good too. You have to stop by any day between 4-8 to get a mojito or a beer. BEST PLACE IS DOLPHIN MALL! read more

Came here on a Friday night and enjoyed myself. The food was yummy, more for seafood lovers. Salmon was fresh. You can choose to sit inside or outside. There is a DJ outside but you can hear the music playing if your sitting inside. Great place to bring a group of friends. Drinks for ladies on Friday nights. Good vibes! read more

I want to start off with the place. Is really nice and chill. Outdoor seating is great. Inside is a bit small! There is a second floor that they use it for private events and also the bathroom are in the second floor!! It is a great spot to hangout with friends have a few drinks. The Bartender and waitress were awesome. Great service. Half off drinks happy hour. The tequeños were very very good!! But the french onion soup was terrible!! Prices are a little high for the kind of food they serve. Just great for having drinks with some good latin music!! read more

This is the worst food and service in my life. Don't worry for lunch that take forever and the food is coming cold and over cooked. They don't even return your money. The food was horrible even the restaurant has very few customers on a Saturday. Never go!! read more

Server was very attentive and friendly, the food was to die for definitely recommend the Creme Brûlée

Backstory: my sons 11th bday / rolling 15 deep / custom cake in hand - no reservations- not the original choice for bday dinner HOWEVER things happen for a reason. Everywhere else we had thought of was about 45 to an hr wait time- none of these places offer reservations (they really should reconsider that) anyway stumbled across this lovely place -the music and vibe caught our attention but the service oh man THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES BRIAN AND FRANK you guys were on point I must have driven you both crazy with my questions but I wouldn't know because you guys were nothing less than professional, friendly, and in short AMAZING you guys accommodated us within SECONDS put our cake in the back so we can all eat on a clear table Until it was time to sing and cut which btw they even provided us with candles and all the necessary things without even being asked or told. Always a step ahead and always available when needed and ALWAYS with a pleasant smile. Food well I'm still in a food coma but if you ask me if I wanted another bite of the churrasco or fajitas ummm YES PLEASE - the margaritas had both my mother in law and my mother feeling NIIIIICE. Anywho I'm so glad things went how they did because it turned out PERFECT!! I will be visiting again ..and again! Oh and second floor has JENGA! -super helpful with hungry impatient kids like mine read more

Food looked great from everyone else's plate but I was waiting to be served almost 1 hr. The waiter claimed that 2 people called out but that's not our fault and we shouldn't have went through that. Idk may be next time we will have a better experience. But I doubt it. read more

Horrible !!!!!!! We sat down and weren't greeted and had no menus for a good 10 minutes. Asked for beef carpaccio which was suppose to come with bread and it never came out with bread even after asking for it. We asked for shrimp appetizer came with a long hair in it and when we told the waiter he said no one in the kitchen has this color hair and I was staring at he chef with the same exact color hair ! It wasn't even removed from our bill. The food was sitting in the window which we were sitting next to for a good 15 minutes getting cold. To top it off when we complained about the shrimp being on the bill the waiter laughed and said there was no manager at the restaurant ! Truly horrible service read more

Although this restaurant has a great location nice atmosphere beautiful and friendly people I wish my experience would have been different with the food this restaurant mainly is for people who like to drink and listen to music but as a restaurant their prices compared to the quality of food is not all that great the appetizers I ordered which were their famous seafood Mix platter for $22. It was mainly a few pieces of calamari a few shrimp and three very small pieces of shrimp. They also batter the mussels and clams and over cooked and Scorched taste. A got three that were totally closed. I don't recommend their appetizers I wish they would increase the quality of them. read more

I came to eat here with my friend daniella and we had a blast !! The food was excellent and the service was fantastic!!

Had the absolute worst service. The waitress took over 30 minutes to come to the table and the food took an hour and half to come to the take for just one platter. The food is amazing but the service wasn't up to par. read more

Food is over priced and not enough. The seasoning is the same for the fish and chicken. And the fajitas were cold. And also 18% was charged automatic in the bill. read more

Figured trying a new place in the doral area would be a good idea. However, it was far from good. We ordered a burger w/ fries and a ravioli plate. Both plates were not appetizing. Burger was over cooked, fries were soggy, and the ravioli was definitely not al dente! The ravioli was swimming in sauce, like a soup, to cover up the overcooked ravioli. I would not recommend this place. read more
