    Chimichanga carta with steak
    Desiree M.

    I had heard that Chimi's has really good Mexican food, so, of course, I had to try it. I think it was okay. I ordered the nachos with shredded chicken and the chimichanga carta with steak. First of all, the chimi had wayyyyyyyyy too much queso on top. I couldn't eat even half because it was just too much, I also didn't care too much for the steak. The nachos were also just alright. I think it would have been better without the chicken. I don't think I would return if I was wanting Mexican food in St. Louis.

    I havent been to Chimi's for the longest time. Their customer service has been always good, but the food quality has declined. They now charged for refill salsa due to inflation. At this visit I got the mix fajitas (double) and the guacamole. Beef and chicken tasted bland and very dry. Very disappointed!

    My husband I go to this location often. This is by far the best Chimi's Fresh-Mex in St Louis. The quality of the food here is exceptional and it always tastes so fresh. This visit my husband got the shredded beef chimichanga and I got the veggie chimichanga with no cheese or sour cream. These are our usual favorites Chimi's come with rice, beans, quac and all the fixings. Complimentary chips and salsa. The staff is always friendly. The food comes out super fast. And, the atmosphere is very family friendly. It can get a little loud. But, that's part of the whole fun experience

    This place has a small parking lot next to the restaurant. However depend on if you are going at a busy time or not there may not be parking spot at the parking lot. Me and my boyfriend and one kid went here today and the parking lot was full. There are side street or parking at main Street if available where you can park which was what we did. I got passion fruit margarita, it has quite a lot of alcohol content in it. I also got the taco salad bowl. Like most Mexican restaurants, the chip and salsa are free. We ordered the Queso dip with it and it was great. My kid love to order burger and fries at a Mexican place, not sure why, however I forgot to take a picture of her food. my boyfriend had beer and grand chimichanga plate with both chicken and steak. Service was decent. If you need more napkins, water then just ask and the waitress did bring it.

    Absolute best chips and salsa I've ever had... it was addicting. Salsa seemed very fresh. Great service and great interior design. Table was a little too sticky for my taste but food and experience was excellent. Props for presentation. Not from this area, just visiting, but absolutely would go again and recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious Mexican meal near St. Louis. Margarita: 4/5 should have had more salt on the rim and shaken before served; wasn't very cold. Ordered a medium and was very big, would recommend. Beef Chimi: 4/5 portion was excellent, opted for double side of rice instead of rice + beans and was disappointed at the quality of the rice, it could have used more flavor. Still, I've never met a rice dish I didn't like and this was no exception. Ratio of avocado salad to the chimichanga I thought was good. (You can always use the excess salad as a nacho for the chips!) D'élixir Chimi: 4/5 cheese was really good but meat was kind of dry/lacking something. Liked everything that came with it. Quesadilla: 5/5 Guac was fantastic. Liked that it was pulled chicken and not cubed. Good use of cheese, held together very well. Fish Tacos: 5/5 really liked the sauce on the side! Hawaiin Fajita: 5/5 loved it. Melted all together and was delicious. This is the "special" and absolutely would recommend.

    Was taking to a table as soon as I walked in and greeted. They brought the fresh chips and salsa shortly after I sat down, they are always great. Today I tried the Chicken and Shrimp fajitas, like everything I have tried here it was very good, and came out quickly. Great place to go to for Mexican when in the area.

    I was not expecting much. But this was great. The portions were huge and it was very tasty. You could tell it was quality ingredients with a lot of flavor. This was more than enough for me at a pretty good price. The atmosphere wasn't bad either. I found myself staring at some of the art for awhile. Lots of detail in a very a wacky painting. I do not get out to St. Louis often, but next time I do, I will definitely return tot this place.

    Are your beans vegetarian or are they made with lard? what about the rice - any chicken broth or base in that? thank you!

    We still love this place! I'm not sure how many times we've been here over the past few years, but…read morewe've never had a negative experience here. My husband and I have been here a number of times, we've brought our (adult) daughters and their partners, out of town visitors, and we've recommended it to friends. Some of our friends went on our recommendation and enjoyed it. Again, I have to say that we love the vibe, the staff, and the food - probably equally! We sat out on the covered patio last night. It was pretty hot out, but the cover and the fans made it feel okay out there. We ran into neighbors as we were leaving. It's about 35 minutes from our house and we have never seen anyone we know there. They were enjoying it as well! The only negative I can think of is the restroom situation. There is one restroom with one toilet - plan ahead! There's usually a line. We'll definitely be back!

    This is a hard review because in my party of 4, my meal was horrible but everyone else had a…read moretasty-gratifying meal. To start, we ordered the guac. It's not authentic guac with chunks of guac, instead it was creamy and didn't have a clumps of avocado or flavor. It was more of a blended consistency with just a smashed avocado flavor. The chips were awesome! I ordered the mahi-mahi tacos. The first one that was brought to the table was fried so well done the fish inside was rubbery and dry, and the outer coating was black. My waiter apologized, visually confirmed that the dish was not right, took the dish and 5-10 minutes later brought out the same dish, assuming this one would be better. It wasn't. The fish was overwhelmingly fishy smelling, dry and overall, I felt like I would've had a better meal at McDonalds ordering their Filet o' fish. Ugh! The waiter took the one bite eaten from the taco dish and removed it from the ticket. He asked if he could bring me something else, but so much time had passed between the last 2 mix-ups that for me to order anything to replace the meal, my party would've left me at the table so I just had chips for dinner. Where I see an issue, is one would think a manager would've come over apologizing, or something. Yet, I felt like the bad guy sent to her room with no dinner. When the bill came, the waiter, what I feel like intentionally put the bill directly in front of another person from our party rather than in the center of the table. Probably because that person loved his meal... A person in my party got the 3 taco dinner- only ate one taco. Packaged up the other two tacos. I paid, tipped 20% assuming it wasn't the waiter's fault. And we walked out. We got to the front door, the person in my party that had boxed up the 2 tacos realized she left her box at the table, turned around 1-2 minutes after leaving, went back to the table and our waiter said he threw away the box! It wasn't busy ... I understand wanting to clean a table, but there should be some protocol of if this happens, maybe the bussers have x number of minutes before they throw away a meal that someone intentionally boxed up to take home. So -2 stars- I won't go back but if you try this place you might get something delish. My hope is you fall on the positive side of these reviews.
