    After turning 21 in Lubbock, I was introduced to Chimy's. The Texas Tech location was a staple of college life: a great bar with a patio, good food, good drinks, and the perfect place to catch a football game. Some of my fondest college memories happened there. Watching Tech win an away game. Meeting a British hitchhiker. Devouring their cheese fries and sipping a Silver King after finishing my Master's. Chimy's was there for me when most bars weren't. While I was in Fort Worth for work, I was asked to help find some bars in the area. I had a little trick up my sleeve. "This area is good, guys!" I said. I didn't actually know. I just knew Chimy's was there. Inside, the Pacers were lighting it up on one TV and Texas Tech was winning a softball game on another. The energy was high. The place was full of current and former Tech students, and it turns out it's also an official Texas Tech Alumni spot. I ordered a Blueberry Chilton for the nostalgia, and it tasted exactly how I remembered it. Chef's kiss. I didn't grab any food this time, but off the vibe and memory alone, I was sold on this Fort Worth version of Chimy's. It's smaller than the Lubbock location and the parking isn't free, but I was a happy guy. Home sweet home.

    Fun spot, great service! Great stop in the area with a fun Lil patio with tables and water out for dogs.

    Exactly what you expect. Nothing is going to stand out, but the food was just fine. Not overly flavorful. One highlight was the very friendly staff. It made our lunch enjoyable and the restaurant filled up quickly right after the noon bell rang.

    Great, friendly and helpful staff. Great atmosphere too! Our 1st time there today. My better half had shrimp tacos for Taco Tuesday and I had nachos with queso and ground beef. Massive sized nachos!! I should have stopped 1/3 of the way but had to force 1/2 before I surrendered and took home. Best nachos I've ever had. She absolutely loved the shrimp tacos!! Said they were the best she ever had. I'm certain that we will be back.

    Came here for a date night and was pleasantly surprised. Parking can be a little tricky but inside it's super colorful and fun. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was hands down some of the best I've had. Seasoned so well that it needed nothing added to it like salt or pepper. We would certainly come back here again.

    Raspberry margarita

    My favorite spot to get a margarita (raspberry and mango are my favorites) and DP Shootout. Brings back so many college memories (cannot beat TTU's chimys ambiance though). As for food, everything is delicious from the burgers to the tacos and burritos. My go to are chips & queso, veggie burrito (yes... the best in town for now), hamburgers and fried fish tacos (the sauce is the best part).

    Well.. happy new year! And this would be my first review of 2020.. and why why do I pick this restaurant to be my first? Well.. we have been staying home for a week now, trying to slow down after the holidays and my husband been really bugging me to try Chimy's for 6months now. So that's why we end up here tonight.. I am seriously hating myself at the moment because I wanted to start the year the right way.. in the positive notes but Urg it's sooo hard for me when a restaurant gives poor customer service. Expensive margarita I thought; it's was $11 for a Cadillac without grand mariner shot? And it wasn't strong at all, and it was pretty small for $11 to be honest in my humble opinion. I can get $14 margarita at la hacienda ranch and for sure will make me tipsy drinking 1. But in this case I drank 3 and nothing! ‍ Anyway nothing exciting to be honest.. we ordered fried fish tacos and chili verde pork chimichanga.. fish tacos came in pieces instead of one big fish; so that was very unappealing for me personally, and you couldn't taste the fish at all and I'm a huge fish tacos person so I was left unsatisfied for sure. And then they put melted cheese on the tortillas also, I don't know which are the worse at this point ‍ Chimichanga was not seasoned at all. I was expecting spicy and gooey chili verde that has a little punch but nah, not even worth mentioning. They also got our order wrong and instead of apologizing they told us that it was our fault that we didn't speak loud enough! And that we didn't repeat the order to make sure it was right? Hmmm.. I ain't the server or the order taker?? Really? At this point I'm just super annoyed already. I'm still superstitious about coming back but, I might give them one more try and see if it gives us a better experience next time!

    Sangria swirl margarita, draft Modelo, green Chile pork nachos
    Marli M.

    Atmosphere was a bit chaotic and we had to share a table due to lack of sitting. Not really ideal during a pandemic! I got a sangria swirl margarita and it was delicious and my husband enjoyed his draft Modelo as well. We got the ballpark (with queso) green Chile pork nachos and they were good but nothing spectacular. The green Chile flavor was pretty absent and the chips did not hold up well with the queso but overall was a good meal especially for the price and size. I appreciated that they asked if we wanted beans or not on the nachos! Really just very busy place on a Saturday afternoon but that's good for them!

Servers provided a great experience aside from a bunch of flies (ate outside on the patio and were waving at flys most of the night). Three stars for the prices. We are an entirely vegetarian meal with no alcohol and paid $400 for a party of six...and we were sharing (yes, you read that correctly). $13 for a side of Mexican rice. $18 for essentially a side mashed potatoes. $16 for grilled vegetables. And the portions were SMALL. We were sharing across four adults and three kids and everyone only ended up getting a tiny amount. It was really difficult believing we were receiving any real value...it felt like the Don and figured out how to have unsuspecting guests pay double! It to say this isn't a legit high-end Mexican restaurant, it is. But I would more realistically describe it as a high-end steak house with wrap-around Mexican dishes (which explains why the side prices were so extreme). Kids quesadillas with steak were $17 a piece with no sides other than potato chips (a little odd given the context). Anyway, I'll end it where I began...food was good, servers were great...but just not worth the price. If the bill had been half or the portions were larger, it would have felt like we were actually getting value for our money.

Even when it's full, it's still comfortable enough to have a good conversation without feeling too crowded or loud. Overall, it's a reliable neighborhood spot with good food, good drinks, and consistently solid service.

I ordered take out and sat at the bar while I waited for my entree.Ordered two drinks while I waited, got the one at the top of the menu and a skinny margarita and they tasted exactly the same ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they got the job done and were fine. Food: I got the enchiladas three ways with steak. You can take the regular three sauces or choose just one if you'd like. Green sauce is the best, white sauce is pretty good, and the red mole is fine but I wish I would have swapped it out with the spicy almost (orange) sauce that comes with the seafood enchiladas. That sauce looks so good! My partner did not like the red sauce at all, again I thought it was fine just not amazing like the other two. Beans and rice are good, nothing special. Nothing wrong with the chips and salsa just run of the mill. Other thoughts: I wish I had just ate my food at the bar instead of ordering take out. Bar seats are comfortable, views of a tv for anyone sitting at the bar, and it's just a nice comfortable atmosphere in there. The hostess and bar tenders I interacted with provided great service.

The staff is friendly enough, but you don't really interact with them much since it's all pretty much self service after you go to the counter.

The elote was good, not great, but the pozole really hit the spot given how cold it was outside. The birria pizza is what blew me away, though.
