Rico Chimi Brooklyn
4.0 (1,080)restaurant
4.0 (1,080)A casual Brooklyn spot for late-night Dominican street food, from thick-patty chimis to crispy, savory kipes.
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.
