“ Very delicious food and very good service. ”
“ Traditional Dominican Chimichurri burger lends its name to this small chain of just several locations in NYC. Sandwiches (chimis) are so rich flavor that they call themselves “Rico Chimi”. Obvious. Place on Myrtle Ave is surprisingly much better looking inside that outside. Its bright, plenty of air, lots of wood panels. Feels like family place to me. There are 7 tables inside with some outdoor seating. Though nearby subway makes so much noise that seating outside is only for hearing-challenged people. Menu is varied - lots of drinks including natural juices, lots of Dominican and Spanish-influenced dishes such as quesadillas, patacones, fritura , picao, emoanadas, monfongos, yaroas, burritos and even gyros! Every dish comes in variety of options, I counted about 15 variants only for fritura. I chose myself traditional chicken chimi and I wasn’t disappointed. Pieces of chicken, lots of vegetables (always a good idea) and juicy cabbage. I really enjoyed. And its comes in a size enough to satisfy a hungry man. So don’t skip this place over. Come and enjoy. ”
“ I had a great experience at Rico Chimi! I ordered a beef chimi (no onions), and it was absolutely delicious, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. They also have other chimi options, like chicken and more, so there’s something for everyone. On the side, I got a small order of sweet plantains (maduros), which were cooked just right... soft, sweet, and caramelized. To wash it all down, I enjoyed a cold Presidente beer, while my guest had a fountain drink that he really liked. The service was smooth and friendly, our waitress took our order shortly after we sat ourselves. On top of the great food, the music and atmosphere made the experience even better. No complaints, definitely a spot worth visiting! Highly recommend if you’re craving a chimi, plus they’re open late night! ”
