Description
The kitchen puts its own spin on classic street snacks. The house chimi swaps out traditional cooked cabbage for crunchy, uncooked cabbage to build texture, paired with a notably potent spicy sauce. While some find the beef chimis hit-or-miss, the generously stuffed chicken empanadas and quick, friendly service get consistent marks. Eating in means embracing a high-energy, no-frills room complete with a loudly playing TV.
