    Hot Dog Full

    Delicious Dominican food truck. I got a chimi, a hot dog, empanadas, & fried Oreos. Everything was good but my favorite was the hotdog. 10/10. The food was hot and fresh and service was quick. The only thing I would say is that I feel like the items have gotten very pricey. Other than that I love it. The ambiance is great, you can sit outside like in DR.

    This is not Dominican chimi. Its made with some kind of weird meat patty.It's way too overpriced to be sold out of a truck in a gas station parking lot. Very disappointing.

    Come on my guy, get it together. I'm disappointed

    This review is strictly based off the pastelito. Wow I am beyond disappointed. Being from NY (wash heights) pastelitos (empanadas) whatever I know what a good pastelito is and this was not that. It's almost as bad as the Nicaraguan pastelitos and that's sad. Never have I had a "Dominican pastelito de carne" that was greasy, oily & full of onions. Most I've seen, the usual-- raisin/egg.. it was dripping all over the plate. So gross. No one in my house liked them. They went straight to the garbage & for 2.50 a piece, that hurt my soul. If these types of pastelitos de carne are normal for you, you're trash.

    When i saw this online, i couldnt wait! Went ahead in a minute. They were located in Pembroke Pines 5mins away from home. The truck is sooo dominican, a big flag, dominican music, merengue, bachata, etc. I teletransported to DR in the moment! I was so excited, my husband ordered 2 empanadas one from lambi and other of jaiba (crab) they were pretty good nothing like fresh lambi but for being in the US, were good. 2 regulas chimis. Some people doesnt know about what chimi meat is, well let me explain is a sausage cutted alon in the middle then smash it seems like a burger meat, later to the grill, better if is in charcoal grill, in a bread like the cuban one, seazoned cabbage, special sauce, ketchup and mayo. For my taste i would let cook the meat 3 minutes more. But overall was great. You can see all dominicans arriving there, they have tables too. They dont only have chimis, also burgers, chicken sandwich, pork sandwich, cativias, all dominican appetizers!

    Chimi El Tigere is the newest Dominican street food spot in Kendall and it is getting a good start. Chimichurri isn't the herb dressing used all over South America. It's a uniquely Dominican Style sandwich/burger. Simple to make with humble ingredients and that my fine reader is the "rub". A Chimichurri or Chimi for the uninitiated is a burger like sandwich with seasoned meat, shredded cabbage, tomatoes and pink sauce. Simple, but ridiculously hard get right. Growing up in the Northeast, eating them, and having the original in the Dominican Republic I know what it should taste like. Hell, my Chimi recipe is the conglomeration of countless sources and years of practice. Chimi el Tigere gets it right. The bread is as close to the original as you can find this far into Cuban Miami. The Meat patty has a good flavor and a spice component that is reminiscent of the island. When I say spice I don't mean spicy I mean flavorful and seasoned. They do finely shredded cabbage with some carrot for crunch which is not a bad addition. The tomato is sliced evenly although I may not like it that thick. Then copious amounts of pink sauce, the secret ingredient more mysterious than a tanned Asian model there are millions of variations and few people give out the exact proportions or ingredients. The sandwiches are then hot pressed and wrapped in foil as traditional as it gets. Now that you have been educated on what it is here's what I would change at the Chimi El Tiguere. They should sauce the cabbage before adding the tomato and they should also add some ketchup and mayo to create those flavor layers. The truck offers other traditional Dominican street food besides the famous Chimi.The Completa platter offers 3 kinds of fried pork fried cheese and plantains. The first time I went the value was lacking the last time I went they went HAM on it. For $15 it's a hell of a deal. They also have empanadas and other Dominican specialties. When its late and you're craving that Latin food with soul and the calories to fight that on coming hang over head over to Chimi el tigere have a Chimi and red soda and wonder why you haven't had more Dominican food in your life.

    This place really disappointed me. I am Dominican, so I try to eat and shop at local Dominican…read moreplaces to support my people as much as possible! First things first...I found this place on a random Sunday morning, and was like heyyy this is great, why don't I go here for breakfast to have some Dominican breakfast...it was like 10am..come to find out they don't open until 11am. Cool, maybe I'll try them some other time. The next evening, I decide to go back because I saw on their storefront they sell chimi's...I pull up, all lights are off. It's Monday, they're closed. Fine. This past Sunday, I try for my very last time...3rd times a charm, right? Wrong. This time they're at least open!! I see on their storefront that they have sancocho, so my mom and I decide to go in. As soon as I walked in, I found it very odd that there is no music or tv playing. They could've been playing a little bachata or merengue, come on...ambiance?!? Whatever. I also find it weird they have a huge "Corona Beer" banner instead of Presidente...odd. We're greeted by a server who's not Dominican. (Right there is a red flag for me, I tend to like Dominicans serving to feel like home but as long as the cook is Dominican, fine.) She proceeds to give us 1 menu and tells us to sit anywhere and she'll be right with us. She takes forever to get to us, when she finally comes to our table, I decide to order a chimi that I've been wanting for a week...she says "sorry, we don't have chimis. As a matter of fact, we don't have anything with bread." Umm ok. I then tell my mom to order because I now need more time to look at their menu...my mom orders sancocho. She replies "sorry we don't have sancocho right now". (Even though their sign is blinking outside with sancocho.) I then ordered something with plátano, and she said they don't have any either. How do you have a Dominican restaurant and not have plátano on deck??! Who's doing the inventory in this place?!? It's lunchtime, what the heck? The server recommends the yaroa, which for ppl who don't know what that is, is like street food...fries, cheese and meat...I would eat this after the club, not really for lunch. At that point, we decided to just walk out, which is such a shame because even though their menu was limited, it all sounded good but they just didn't have anything available. SMH. I tried 3 times...I will not be back. There are far more restaurants that will gladly take my money. I'm giving 2 stars...1 because parking is available because it's in a plaza, and 2 because they're Dominican and wanted various items off the menu.

    On Friday I had a taste for some messy street food, and bumped into De lo Mio Dominican food…read moretruck. Location is conspicuous, but laid back. The food came out fast. They have tables and chairs outside to eat on site. The wasn't bad. It was ok, not sure what was missing, but it didn't blow my socks off. I had Fries and chicken with cheese (Yaroca) Tamarind juice (so good)

    Every time I have De Lo Mío, I feel like I am back home in the DR. They are a food truck located in…read moreHialeah. Their service is incredible. They even know me by name when I call to order. They are over 30 minutes away from me, but I never hesitate to go when I'm craving some real Dominican street food. Their Picadera con proteínas is my go-to. They have different options for the protein and the sides for you to choose from. I always do Tostones with pechurinas (fried chicken), longaniza, carne de res, or cerdo frita. My mom loves their orejitas. When I'm craving a chimi, they are my go-to. They also have a special for chimis on Wednesday. I love their empanadas; they have an authentic Dominican flavor. Their empanada de pollo or pizza are my two favorites. Their Yaroas are excellent and very loaded. Their Rebulu fries are the perfect Dominican-style loaded fries. My family also enjoys their kipes. I can go on forever on what to try from them, but all I can say is that if you are looking for good flavor, quality, and feel of Dominican style food De Lo Mio is the place to go.
