She told me it wasn't ready and was wondering if she could go to the grocery store to pick up eggs, I said no and I still had to wait another 15-20 minutes for mediocre food with no salt. And I didn't get a discount for my dish not having eggs. This is the second time I've eaten there and it's been awful every time.

Great service, it tastes like the ones at the Dominican Republic, but 1000 times better.read more

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.

The inside is decorated colorfully and is comfortable. I was not familiar with many foods on the menu, but I was adventurous and tried the special: Pastelon de Amarillo's - ground beef, cheeses, sweet plantains in a round dish. I asked for sweet plantains for a side. Next time I'll choose something else. That was too many plantains for me. Husband had grilled skirt steak with red beans & white rice. He ate almost everything - left some of the rice. He really enjoyed his dinner, and he, too, would like to return. Andrew was our wait staff and he was efficient and friendly. The prices were reasonable, and our booth was comfortable. I took home half of my meal as I didn't want to stuff myself. When reheated the next day, it was just as good. I hope this restaurant is here for many years!

I was so pleased to have a local place for my favorite Spanish-American food, as well as some regular American dishes. Hubby ordered breakfast and I ordered a Caribbean lunch - Pernil (roast pork) with rice and peas, plus a side order of tostones (fried plantains). This is their Tuesday special, and it was delicious bringing back memories of a dear friend's mother who would cook the same food at her NJ bodega. I finished my lunch and couldn't eat another bite, even though homemade flan is available. Next time, which will be very soon!

I wanted something warm since I was chilly and their Dominican sancocho is tasty and hardy beef stew with yuca and served with yellow rice. I'm always looking for this and since I've found it here, I'm happy I had it. Also ordered chicken with yellow rice and got a few diff chicken dishes and they were both so good, but I must say I simply loved my sancocho. The people working were very friendly and welcoming and there's a huge area to sit. On the weekends they have bands and music. Don't look just at the outside. Don't hesitate going inside and checking out their steam table full of their delicious food to order for a great quality and quantity!
