Listo El Chimi

Chimi chimi chimi. What a little late night gem! Fast service and great food. The dishes are cooked to order. The food is simple, yet so delicious. The quesadilla takes the show for me. Their pulled chicken is cooked just perfect! Their hot sauce and orange mayo based sauce mixed together is the sh! t! My boyfriend lives in the area and ever since he put me on, I’ve been caught in a love triangle ever since. hehe :-)

Im a chimi lover and a fanatic of it, so naturally i wanted to try this location as soon as possible. I ordered the Chimi burger (beef) and the Philly cheese steak sandwich.
Here is my take on it.
They tell you its a 10 dollar minimum if you want to use your card, and on top of that, they tell you that if you use your card, they have to charge an additional dollar to use it. WTH is that? Who does that? Its their way of avoiding the taxes and fees associated with using credit cards as payment so they rather have you pay for that.
The chimi was ok. A little too dry and salty for my liking. The sauce was ok, just like your traditional sauce. The chimi they sell is very similar to any chimi truck. The bread was a little stale but held together nicely the food.
The Philly cheese steak wasn’t too bad, had enough meat and onions and peppers to quench your taste buds. It was on a hero well toasted.
Not sure if i would come back again, especially since they want to charge you an additional dollar to use your debit or credit card.

Por favor pregunté xq ustedes son los que saben el menú en especial cuando es deliver yo quería unos chimis de carne y me mandaron amburguesas tenía que decir bistec … Disque no me gustó

For the up-​charge, they should use the right bread. As stated in previous reviews, there’s an illegal up-​charge added to your bill and the Chimi’s on a roll instead of a mini baguette. I see six Dominicans in one kitchen and my Chimi’s on an untoasted ROLL?!! SMH. There’s a few other things on the menu worth your time but pass on the chimi

Had the chicharon de pollo (cracking chicken) with tostones. Their quesdaillas are HUGE! It was fresh and not oily or dry. I like that they make their food to order here, not sitting in oil or re-​frying. My BF had the meat platter with pork chops, chicken and pork pieces. He liked it. They are a little pricey.
Tip: Share plates, they are HUGE and you can save $$$ :-)

I went into this place when it first opened and the chimi was good except for the fact that it was on a sesame seed hamburger bun. The second time it was fine and it stayed fine, even though there was always one guy behind the counter that was really unprofessional. The last time I was in there the guy whistled at me and tossed the sandwich on the counter. I was really turned off by that. There was nobody in the place except one other person who already had their order. There’s never a reason to treat a customer like that. The chimi was on an old kaiser roll and for some reason was heavily flavored with BBQ sauce. I won’t be going back.

Love the place they are great also love that they are open late. a Chimi or chimichurri also call chimichanga, it is a most go.

Impeccably clean. Open late. Friendly staff. Delicious food. You can’t hope for better on a lye night out in Ridgewood, or any other time for that matter!

Not a huge fan of their jamon y queso empanadas, but the chimi was on point! The coleslaw and the shredded chicken made for a really taste combination, and I couldn’t believe how quickly it was gone! The service was really friendly, which you always appreciate. Great addition to Ridgewood!

Not your traditional Chimi since it’s on a roll instead of pan de agua and the chicken is shredded instead of it being whole, but this modernized Chicken Chimi is one of the best ones I’ve had in a while. I also got the chicken and cheese empanadas, another one that is really really good.
Their menu has variety of options for anyone who walks in, can’t wait to try them all out!
