As soon as I cracked open the menu at The Chimi Spot, I knew I was in for a flavor-packed Dominican adventure. The lineup kicks off with crave-worthy appetizers like crispy golden Empanada de Yuca and zesty Garlic Cassava, but it’s the Tostones Locos and Mofonguitos Trio that really set the tone—bold, textured, and unapologetically indulgent.
I dove into the Stuffed Mashed Plantains, each one a different twist on comfort food. Whether topped with juicy shrimp, crispy fried pork, tender chicken breast, or the melt-in-your-mouth outside skirt steak, these are mash-ups that steal the spotlight. And let’s talk about the Chimis—Dominican street burgers reimagined. The Chimi Retro-Beef hits with a nostalgic punch, while the Chimi El Pepe brings a modern flair.
If you’re feeling extra hungry, the loaded Yaroa’s—layered with meats like pollo, res, or the heavenly Yaroa Mixta—are the kind of guilty pleasure you'll happily lose yourself in. The Frituras section is a deep-fried paradise: Longaniza, Chicharron de Pollo (bone-in or not), and Salami deliver bold flavors that are as satisfying as they sound.
Seafood lovers will gravitate toward Camarones en Salsa and the Pescado Boca Chica, bringing coastal vibes straight to Orlando. The Picadera Sampler Platter is a must if you want to taste a bit of everything.
Even the sides deserve praise—think crispy Tostones, sweet Platanos Maduros, and perfectly cooked Rice and Beans. Finish it off with dreamy desserts like Tres Leches Guava or rich, creamy Flan, and you’ve got a meal to remember.
In short, The Chimi Spot’s menu is a love letter to Dominican street food—bold, authentic, and irresistibly delicious.
