Chimichurri Latin Bistro & Bar

I love this place. This restaurant has Argentinian flair. The service is great and consistent. I recommend the empanadas. Pizza and steak is also great here. A person would not be disappointed for a great meal or date night.

Empanadas , beef and picadillo were our favorite dish of the night . Would come back for that . The chimichurri is oily but the best I’ve had flavor wise . Got the shrimp gnocchi and the milanesa , lots of fries I can appreciate that. No bread which I enjoyed very much honestly just meat and veggies is great for us. The service was fantastic , no wait and constant refills. Although the gnocchi was extremely filling wish there was more shrimp for the price. Recommend if this is your taste of food . Also no wait on Wednesday night but parking is difficult and limited . Vibes and aesthetics were fantastic

I found another incredible place to enjoy some Latin cuisine in Dallas. Deep in the heart of the Bishop Arts district, surrounded by cute shops and other dining establishments lies a hidden gem. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere perfect and the food! Portions so large a plate could feed 2. And the food itself provided a literal explosion of different flavors all coming together like a symphony. We started with the Ceviche and it was delciously fresh, with a hint of light citrus and so juicy I had it without the tostada chips. I had the Chilaquiles and Laura had the Huevos Rancherors from the brunch menu last Sunday. As it was after 12 I decided on an excellent drink and a beer to go with my meal. morning and we can't wait to get back this weekend to try the rest of the menu.

“An Authentic Taste of Argentina!" This place is an absolute gem for anyone craving true Argentinian flavors! The chimichurri here is simply the best I’ve ever had—fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. It perfectly complemented the tender and juicy cuts of meat that were cooked to perfection. Every bite transported me straight to Argentina! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a staff that makes you feel like part of the family. The attention to detail, from the traditional dishes to the drink selection, is impeccable. Whether you're a meat lover or just looking for a unique culinary experience, this restaurant will not disappoint. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an authentic, mouthwatering meal that leaves you craving more. 10/10! Sit with Antonio at the bar!! --- This review highlights the quality of the chimichurri, praises the atmosphere, and touches on the authenticity of the overall experience.

We did like the food.. nice selection of food and drinks .. the conga drink was loved and so was the habanero shrimp pasta.. that sauce was aaamazing ! Ambience is good too. We went in as a big group and had a big table on the side .. did not like the dessert much.. we had the caramel desert..

It was a cozy place, food was good, service good. We went on a Sunday after rain so it was a little slow, don't know if it's always like that. The chicken comes with squash and zucchini on the bottom, I think it would've been nice if it came with a side of rice. Green enchiladas were good, it wasn't spicy, it tasted citrusy but I'm not sure if it was suppose to be like that or veggies on the side that give it that flavor, it also comes with white rice. I mixed my veggies with rice to give it more flavor. So it's up to you if you like plain rice.

This place has a great, upbeat vibe. We had dinner and cocktails. We had the half chicken with grilled vegetables and strip steak with vegetables. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and flavorful. We also had the empanada and another really good appetizer that I can't remember the name of, but it was great).

I stumbled upon this one walking around the area. The food smelled so good I decided to try it out. 10/10 great food, good drinks!

We had an incredible dining experience at Chimichurri! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the empanadas--our favorites were the spicy picadillo and chipotle chicken. We could have easily ordered 14 more of them! The Caesar salad was a classic, but it was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of cheese, dressing, and croutons. We also shared the Peruvian lomo saltado, which was a delightful combination of steak frites with rice, sauce, onions, and peppers. We loved every dish we tried, but the true star was the chimichurri sauce. We ended up putting it on everything! The only downside was the cost of the drinks. They were a bit pricier than we expected and pushed us over our budget. However, we did order four of the night's specialty drinks, so that's on us. Overall, we highly recommend Chimichurri for a delicious meal--just be mindful of the drink prices! Angel our server guided us through our food decision making and he was an awesome server. Thank you Angel & Chimichurri for the great experience!

I come here few times. Food is fine yes. But the place becomes way expensive. Margarita 18$ what the he... Dinner for 3. 260$. Outrages. No stake or anything. Chickens They lost their minds. Will never step here again. That place used to be good . But they become greedy

Chimichurri is a great restaurant but fails the "value" check. I would've rated them 5-stars if the food was ~20% cheaper, but they charge "nice" restaurant prices ($25-40 range) without offering "nice" restaurant staples like hard wood dining, experienced servers, nice lighting etc. First, let me say that the food was awesome. I got the Arrachera Norteña, Argentinian for "fajitas." I kid, I have no idea what that means but they sure looked like fajitas. The pretentious fajitas were awesome though, definitely better than Veracruz's down the street and about on par with La Palmas over in Uptown. I'm knocking Chimichurri a star though for their not-well-done eclectic dining room (The mismatched chair aesthetic wasn't doing any favors). their lighting (Which tried and failed to illuminate the dining room from it's perch 20 feet in the air, giving it a dampness that could've been offset by little lamps on each table), and their service (Our server was lovely but we waited 20 minutes to put in our order). All knit-picky critiques that can be fixed with light effort on the owner's end.

Really nice place! Our waiter was also so great. We were looking for a quick bite to eat, it was late and it was right before closing, but they were still so welcoming & gracious. We all ordered a drink & appetizers to share. Drinks- I forget the names *Mexican Jubilee? - this was good, worth the try *Buragunda? - this was okay, Aperol was a bit too strong Paloma- this was good Champagne Spritz- this was also just okay Food: Pork belly ceviche - this was really good. Crispy pork belly, with yucca & plantain tossed in a pico & lime salad...? We all liked this little dish. Empanadas - we got the Argentina beef, spicy picadillo & pollo al chipotle The 2 beef flavors were great but we didn't care too much for the chicken. The chimichurri did help it though, that was actually excellent. We will definitely have to go back to try some of their other main dishes next time we're back in that area

Fantastic Passion fruit mojito the best I've ever had. The service was fantastic, great food you must try.

Came here with some friends for a quick bite and some drinks. When we arrived it was an hour before closing and they were still welcoming. We decided to grab some drinks and a couple of items to try. We decided on the Pork Belly Ceviche and Some Empanadas. I was a big fan of the Ceviche, the pork belly had a lot of flavor and it paired great with the plantain and yucca marinated in citrus. The empanadas were good, I enjoyed the Spicy Picadillo one, I tried a chicken one and first bite there was a bone in my empanada so I stopped there. Their chimichurri sauce they serve is a 10/10. Our waiter was friendly and suggested I tried the Mexican Junipeg which was a really good drink. The place is nicely decorated with cool art one the wall. I would definitely want to come back for some steak.

Disappointing Decline in Service and Quality We've been loyal customers of this restaurant for years, but after our brunch on November 3rd, we're done. This experience was beyond frustrating and disappointing. We had the same server we've had before, and every time, it gets worse. He's entitled, aggressive, and has no sense of customer service. We told him at the start that we wanted separate checks, but he rudely warned us that if anyone moved seats, he'd combine all checks. None of us moved, yet every single check was wrong. Some of us were charged for items we didn't order, and others were charged for extras that were never served. The service was painfully slow. It took him 30 minutes just to take our appetizer order, and we had to literally flag him down for everything else. When it came time to order our entrées, we waited an additional 15 minutes just to get his attention again. The restaurant staff seemed to see how overwhelmed he was, but no one stepped in to help. Other tables weren't even eating because no one had food. The whole situation felt chaotic. As for the food, it's gone downhill drastically. The empanadas used to be amazing, but now they're tasteless. The Milanesa Napoletana was especially disappointing--the ham tasted like something from a cheap grocery store, not at all fresh. My entrée even came out cold, which was the final straw. It felt like we were eating fast food rather than the quality meals we were used to from here. Whoever is running this place needs to take these issues seriously or consider changing management. It's clear the staff can't handle large groups, the food quality is slipping, and the overall experience is becoming unbearable. If they don't address these problems, they're going to lose even more customers. After years of being loyal patrons, we're sad to say we won't be coming back.

A great Argentinian place in bishop arts! I love walking around this area, and we stumbled onto Chimichurri. We tried all their empanadas! The beef is their classic one, and I loved the spicy picadillo. The empanadas all hit the spot and left us feeling full! They also had a great chimichurri sauce (as the restaurant's name suggests). We had ordered a mac and cheese which never came, but maybe next time! The servers were nice and friendly. The parking can be difficult during peak times at Bishop Arts, but you can always find a spot if you're willing to walk a bit. Overall, a pretty decent spot!

This was our second time at Chimichurri, and I'm excited to become more of a regular. The food is just sooooo good. So is the service! The atmosphere is relaxed, yet slightly elevated. The staff is friendly and attentive. Our server, Marlene, was great at her job - shared the specials, answered any questions we had, very friendly. We split 3 empanadas to start - the beef one is my favorite. For my meal, I have to get steak every time, they're just so good! I got the skirt steak with cilantro lime rice and black beans. The portion was huge and the steak and sides were all 10/10. The grilled veggies also have the best flavor - a nice grill char and seasoning. My husband got the ribeye and said it may be the best steak he's ever had. Lastly, the Pinot Noir bottle we split was the perfect pairing for the meal. Can't recommend Chimichurri enough!

After having drinks in the Branca Room, we decided to have some food in the main area of this restaurant. The ambience of this place is pretty cool. It makes you feel like your are in Argentina. The service is spot on. There are plenty of staff rapidly taking your orders or clearing tables as soon as guests leave, super fast. Our food quickly came out pipping hot and fresh. We had different empanadas and pizza was ordered. I would reorder the chicken chipotle and the spicy beef again. This place gets packed and now I can see why. The food and the service are great and the ambience is cool as heck. They also have outdoor seating. I have a feeling we will be back sooner than later.

Chimichurri Latin Bistro & Bar is a Latin restaurant with a speakeasy tucked in the back. We ordered the Napolitana Milanesa, which was not only delicious but also generously portioned--plenty for two to share. The crispy breaded steak topped with cheese and tomato sauce had great flavor, and the fries were equally tasty. After dinner, we wanted to check out the speakeasy serving craft cocktails but we were so full from dinner we decide not to go.

So, when you walk in, it does have a great vibe. this was my first time here. I expected it to be good, but this was a complete disappointment. The first thing I got was the Aperol spritz; when it was brought to me, it had a flashing light in it, which I think is not called for, it just makes the drink look not good. I then ordered the salmon Benedict. It was very disappointing that the eggs were not even poached; it was a hard-boiled egg. As a chef, you should know how to make different kinds of eggs. I sent all of it back. Overall not sure if I would come back to this place.

Came to the bishop's district for the first time, looked at countless menus of all the surrounding places before we chose this place. We do not regret it. Get the ham and cheese empanada! Get like 3 of them. They are so good! Like a ham and cheese hot pocket but better quality. We also got the spicy beef , and not spicy beef empanadas, both were good but the table favorite was the ham and cheese. We also got an appetizer to share with red peppers, melted cheese and sausage. Top that on a piece of the bread with the chimichurri sauce and it's delicious!

We arrived here on a Saturday evening and the place was not too packed. We decided to sit in the outdoor patio since the weather was nice. However, we probably should've stayed inside because apparently the staff forgot we were there--Almost 30 mins went by and not one person came to assist us. I did ask one of the employees to send over our server and a few mins later a server came out to wait on the only other table seated outside. However, he did not look over at us once. We were completely ignored! We left there very disappointed and confused. Do not recommend!

Went to bishop arts to stroll around and bar hop during Sunday brunch and we weren't dissapounted when we stumbled upon this spot. We were immediately greeted and we decided to sit at the bar, thankfully. One of the owners was winging today and he took us to the speakeasy they have in the back, which is amazing but i didn't snap any pics. It's open Thursday- sat nights. The food was delicious here and the prices were very affordable. It isn't very loud inside and offers more than enough room for groups of different sizes. The only reason for the 4 stars is due to my empanada Benedict needing some seasoning as well as the sandwich, outside of that it was An amazing experience and we will be back... soon

We went for brunch and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive. All of the food seemed very authentic with lots of flavor. Highly recommend getting an empanada, or a few and a mimosa carafe for brunch! I'll definitely be going back to try their dinner.

Chimichurri is a little piece of Buenos Aires in the middle of Bishop Arts. We ordered a lot of food to sample as much as we could, and I am happy to report that the star of the show was the Milanesa Napolitana. It's a huge portion, so you better come hungry or get a to-go box. Also, I was surprised to find a Tannat wine on their menu since it's not a popular grape in the US yet. The service was as good as our food; Jesús, the owner, stopped by our table to see how we were doing. Chimichurri has The Branca Room, a speakeasy you can access through the wine cellar. We will come back to visit soon.

Fantastic! Everything we had was amazing !! One of the best steaks I've had in a long time and the chimichurri sauce is to die for definitely give it a try

Antonio at the bar was wonderful!! The pork belly ceviche was excellent. Highly recommend.

Good food, good ambiance, and even better service. Food was a amazing the pork chop even better the next day with eggs. Wish we could've went into the speakeasy for drinks. But I'll come back for that.

Went for the first time today & it was amazing! The food was great & their drinks were also great Atmosphere is super cute definitely recommend going with friends to check it out!

Really cool spot right in the heart of the Bishop Arts District. Really liked the décor and vibes. The patio is on the street but it has beautiful hanging flowers and bistro lights make for a nice date night table. The food is also quite delicious and don't forget to stop by the speak easy in the back for a night cap.

Great food! Service is pretty good 7/10 Parking is a gamble depending on the time of day Empanadas 8/10 spicy beef& chipotle chicken Prices are fair I recommend!

Great experience at Chimichurri last night! Went with another couple and we all got empanadas and steak! We tried both the spicy beef empanada and the chicken both were delicious!! For dinner we got the ribeye and strip both ordered MR and a side of Mac and cheese. The ribeye was a bit undercooked but better under then over. Both steaks were tasty! They came with a large chunk of zucchini, squash and a carrot. These were seasoned nicely but the carrot was under cooked making it difficult to eat. The Mac and cheese was very tasty but small portion for the price. The cocktails were tasty all very tasty! As other reviews said the service wasn't the what's the server didn't do a great job explaining things but we were expecting this going in. After dinner we checked out the speakeasy in the back where we got more fun tasty drinks in cool glasses! Overall a fun night out with friends! Parking is all street parking fyi

Had the pleasure of dining here for a friends birthday dinner! The waitress did an awesome job of serving and tending to all of us and providing good advice on picking food dishes! The venue was really nice and had a big bar to the right when you walked in. They also had a cool speakeasy in the back that was really chill and laid back! I ordered the Cesar salad that was so tasty along with the chipotle chicken empanada that I cannot stop thinking about I will advise that when you order only one empanada comes out so if you want more make sure to order accordingly!

Food: 4/5 I got 3 empanadas which were $4 each. If they were served by themselves they would have been good still, but that CHIMICHURRI sauceeeee babyyyy that was amazing! It really added the razzle dazzle that was needed. Drinks: 3/5 I went with Malvinas which had Pisco Caravedo, Luxardo, Pineapple & Lemon Juice, Passion Fruit Syrup. It was pretty tasty! I did watch the bartender make it, and he measured everything so I was nervous. Now, my issue was the straw was placed by the bartenders fingers (which I don't know is clean or not) they just need to be mindful. Service: 4/5 Service was fast! Like maybe took 7 mins for the food to come out. Our waitress was nice, but not personable just straight to the point. We did make a reservation, but it was empty and not needed. Supposedly they have a speakeasy in the back, but not one soul was in there lol

I was afraid to eat some of the food bc I was afraid everything is fried. While the Naploitana Milanesa has a fried base it enhances it and it's actually basic but really tasty. The fries are good too and the fat they use is defiantly enhanced with garlic and cilantro or parsley (I think) and tastes good. The salchichq is tasty especially with the free Chimichurri and bread. If you order, be careful in portions. The ambiance is great with fun pop Spanish music and tasteful decorations. The people were friendly and got me in quickly and were attentive.

Food was awesome, service can definitely improve. Waiter had us waiting for around 15 minutes to get our drinks . The restaurant was pretty empty, maybe 3 tables total. Cocktails are not what you see online. Again the food was amazing!

Good Argentinian food but wasn't super authentic. I was expecting a bit more dulce de leche desserts , but they have some really good food. The empanadas, the provoleta and the pasta were strong 5 star dishes (you must order the provoleta!). The milanesa was a 3.5 stars; the order of the toppings were wrong so it was very dry (the ham doesn't go on top). It was ok, but I was pretty disappointed. They had some great drink options and several wines. I appreciated them having Uruguayan wines! Service was friendly and loved the ambience! Would definitely go back to try the parrilla items!

We went for drinks and dessert. We got the Diego Ferrari to drink and highly recommend. Our son picked out the Porteño for dessert which was light and delicious. Pastry cream, mix berries & dulce de leche

The food was tasty. I had a salad that the light dressing and fresh produce was fantastic. The asparagus was cooked with a light crisp and a healthy dose of garlic. My boss ordered pasta and she enjoyed it. So why the 3. The service was terrible. It was a Sunday evening around 7ish and our waitress was missing in action. We barely saw her. The other waitress had trouble locating her. So there was a ton of waisted time trying to order and getting the check. Also, it deterred me from ordering something else because the lack of service. I would try again but maybe a different night.

This place was amazing. The food. The environment. We had a reservation for 10 and were sat right on time. The food is affordable and tasty. The vibe is definitely date night / group night/ girl night. I ordered the empanadas, at $4 a piece, the price couldn't be beat. I had the chicken empanadas and mozzarella and basil. Delicious! Someone else in my party ordered the spicy beef and commented how tasty they were. The fries were well portioned I was able to share with my side of the table and the flavor of garlic and some other herb I couldn't put my finger on. We are still talking about those fries a week later! Definitely check them out if you are in the area. Oh, and they have a speakeasy in the back. It is a very intimate space for the speakeasy but a cute little place nonetheless.

Great place for a friends and family dinner. Their drinks are pleasant , we tried the Paloma and thier mocktails did not disappoint. My husband ordered the Latin Dish " Arrachera Norteña" . The meat temperature was on point and it was nicely seasoned. The meat was very tender and flavorful. I had the caesar salad, which was very nicely balanced. We shared a side of grilled vegetables that were so delicious, it was defiantly enough for two. The empanadas were very tasty. We finished the dinner with platanos maduros, they were so fluffy and the queso fresco was surprisingly good with the dish. The waitress was very kind and attentive. She was very kind and patient with out baby girl.

One of the best brunches in Dallas. Empanadas were so fresh and flavorful. The French toast was out of this world. My husband had steak and eggs and loved his dish as well. The potatoes that came with the steak were so flavorful. The hostess was super sweet and service was great.

Great experience! The food was hot and fresh. The empanadas are a must and don't forget to end the meal with a cappuccino.

Upon arrival the hostess greeted us very well and were seated quickly. The inside was beautifully decorated! Now, having said that the service/waitress was completely awful. majority of the time the waitstaff was on their phones. Look below to see the picture. It's literally took 20min for a Diet Coke and our drinks to arrive. The waitress never came back for our food order and we had to "flag" down another server. Once we ordered our food, the appetizer came out pretty quickly. But the food took quite some time to come out, having said that the food was absolutely amazing. Great Benedict and steak!!! So, service 0 out of 5 and food 5 out of 5. Overall, 2.5 out of 5.

Hidden Gem We were planning on going to the breakfast place a few doors down but didn't want to wake 1.5 hrs. We stumbled into this place. Decor is eclectic, kitschy and fun. The food is ah-mazing. I got my empanada fix. Ask for the diced potatoes. I don't know what voodoo they do but they are garlicky and satisfying. The coffee is freshly brewed. The Argentinian French toast delivers. The candied nuts were yum. Kids pizza. Where to start. We asked to go light on the sauce, which they did. They brought it out ahead of time and it wasn't scolding hot which was great. I don't know what cheese they use, but this Momma tried it and it is light and flavorful.

We weren't planning on going here, and didn't expect anything special when we went inside. WE WERE BLOWN AWAY!! The service was the most attentive and helpful I have probably ever seen. When we asked the server what she'd recommend, she had some great options. The place was not packed, and I don't understand that at all. Now for the food: The Provolenta was really tasty, but would be much better shared with a table of people (it's a lot of cheese for two people. The Orejitas de Elefante was seriously shockingly-wonderful. The flavor of the fresh-fried chips with the toppings was something I'm still craving a day later. Absolutely amazing. The empanadas (server's suggestion) we're phenomenal on their own - we had the mushroom, lamb, and chicken empanadas - but once you add the chimichurri to them BOOM! Out of this world! I've had a lot of empanadas, but I've never had better than these. The flavor explosion was absolutely unexpected, and I can't wait to have more. We will absolutely be back. I almost never give 5-stars. This place deserves it.

The atmosphere was immaculate and the drinks were very well-balanced. I'm not sure if it's because I visited during the day, but the food did not take long for anyone that was ordering that day. I ordered two empanadas and the steak sandwich. Although the sandwich had some flavor to it, the beef was a bit on the dry side. I needed to add the chimichurri sauce and ask for mayo to give it some fat and moisture. Outside of that, this place is definitely a must-try next time you're in the Bishop Arts District.

Incredible food i really enjoyed thr pasta, which is so hard To pull off at a non italian spot. Very impressed with everything.

Food was incredible; service was fast and excellent; the ambience is interesting. Would go back to this restaurant for sure

The food here is amazing, the service outstanding and the ambiance is nice, they have Argentine wines like Malbec

I want to tell you about one of my favorite restaurants in Dallas. One on my favorite restaurants, period! This place is beyond exceptional. The food is phenomenal. But the best thing is THE SERVICE. Best I've ever experienced. I have never felt more at home. Let's go back to that food. My family loves it. The French toast. The empanadas. We have not gone there for dinner,but that will be trip number 5. It is the best place to just feel at home. Go try it out. Experience one of my favorites. It will be your favorite, too!

I think, maybe, we just suffered from poor food choices. My friend and I were in the area looking for food, and they had signs outside advertising brunch on Sunday. We were down for trying something new. Now, I do not know much about Argentinean food. I was thinking meat, and that is probably the best options. As it was early on a Sunday, and HOT, we were not looking to fill up on meat or fried foods. We were also not going for sweet breakfast items and had both gravitated toward the omelette with mushrooms and bacon. It came with a side of potatoes and salad. Not wanting to get the same thing, and get a little variety, he ordered that and I got the calabresa picante pizza. We both ordered the sangria. The sangria was tasty but too sweet. Heavy on the pineapple juice, light on the wine. The omelette was cooked well, but had bacon in the description. The reality was one piece of wimpy bacon atop the omelette. It was heavy on the cheese. The potatoes were spiced well and the salad was fresh and the best thing on the plate. The pizza crust was perfect. Crispy, slightly charred, and stood up to all the toppings. Unfortunately, the toppings were too much. It had SO MUCH CHEESE. Mozzarella is not a very flavorful cheese but is a wonderful melty vehicle for pizza. But there was so much you could not taste the sauce or the salami, which was sliced so thin you could see through it. Other than that it was heavily topped with picked peppers and olives. None of it bringing any heat, but a LOT of brininess. The people were friendly and the atmosphere was pretty cool, but the food was disappointing. The theme was definitely cheese. Again we may just have made poor choices. Of I go again, it will be for dinner and we will order meat.

I had the margarita Pizza, the food was bland, no flavor. People in my party had the empanadas, they're the size of the your palm.

5 stars for the empanadas alone. They are nothing short of incredible - remarkably light, with a thin, buttery, flaky pastry shell and tasty filling. My only regret is listening to my partner and ordering only two ...*TO SHARE* which absolutely guts me now, but gives me reason to revisit. We tried the spicy beef and spicy chicken and both were tasty, though I did enjoy the chicken a little more. Next time I am going to order all of them for myself. ;) We also ordered the margherita pizza, and it is a thick flatbread with fresh ingredients, but completely unremarkable otherwise, so wouldn't recommend. Just eat the empanadas, slathered with their unbelievable chimichurri sauce - pretty much drank the whole cup and could still taste the garlic in my breath the next day - delicious!

Good food. The appetizer orejitas de elefante - with the chips - was delicious. All the food was good. We had 3 different flavors of empanadas. The mac and cheese was so good.

Great food, service and atmosphere! Will definitely return. I had the chorizopan and it was delicious!

Blown away I was of their ambience. Transported into an Argentinian nightclub scene it seemed. Seductive dimness, alluring murals, vibrant music. Attentive was their service. Patient I was that the excessive long wait for food is due to it being the first day of them introducing and serving brunch. Memorable were the taste of their amazing Chimichurri; delicious Queso Y Huevo Empanada; creative Mallman Beets Salad. Dinner it'll be next. CHEERS!
