I came to Chimba a while ago for a special Yelp event and knew I definitely needed to come back!
I came by on the weekend during happy hour, which is everyday from 4-7pm. A happy hour every day is definitely a treat!
Chimba is beautifully decorated. Both modern, warm, and colorful. There's ample indoor, outdoor, and bar area seating. The menu has a lot of great Latin American food options + lots of drinks (wine, beer, cocktails)
Their happy hour menu has a few wines, beers, and cocktails on special. It also has a couple of bites.
We ordered a couple of wine glasses, a beer, and a prosecco, along with the elote and broken potatoes. Both happy hour portions were alarmingly small compared to the regular size appetizers and you only save a couple of $. Word of advice - order the regular appetizers, it's worth the price and portion.
Now for the star of the show - the spinach gnocchi. Wow! The flavors are amazing. It really is a dish that's outside the box and tastes amazing. A bit crunchy and spicy.
My mom ordered a salad and grilled avocado and that was also quite good.
For dessert we tried the flan and were a bit underwhelmed but the dulce de leche and coconut bits really added to it.
Service was a mixed bag. Our initial server was more attentive than the second server but he left out of nowhere and didn't say "hey this is your new server" so that was quite odd. The staff member helping the server was really kind and friendly so that was a plus.
Definitely would come back here soon and try other things on the menu!
