This place is great! I get the carne Frita with arroz de morro y yuca con cebolla . (Pictured on my review)If you want chicken, the combo Dominicano is also amazing - you get a half roasted chicken with 2 sides - they have cho fan rice which is Chinese rice aswell. The relleno de yuca is so good too must try! There is no seating , you just grab your food to go. They definitely give you a good amount of food,which is why I love it there,they have small medium and large portion sizes .

Food would have been perfect if not for the dryness... The Grilled chicken and arroz con gandules man.i could taste the greatness but it was shortlived. Smh should I ask for gravy or something next time?

My Grandmother's pigeon peas and rice was the best in the neighborhood. Alex came real close to being as good. My chicken wasn't that fresh. But the Peas n rice is delicious! No dine in options

My husband always somehow suckers me into trying this place again after awful food & customer service experiences. This most recent one was no different. There is a lack of quality Dominican food in J.P. The chicken from here is WAYYYYY too salty and the rice was crunchy. Batatas were dry and had been clearly sitting for hours. Their prices are also OUTRAGEOUS! $2.75 + tax for a papa relleno smaller than my fist with almost no meat filling. I'd recommend traveling to Lawrence for decent Dominican cuisine.

Really good Dominican food! No frills, uncomplicated yet heartwarming meals and a certain local local favorite

It’s a small shop with no dine in seating, but the portions were extremely generous and the Chicharrones were both tender and crispy. You can get a plate with different sides, or a sandwich(“chimi”)

Food was great service was great. I had never been in a restaurant like this before. One of my first times in Boston. A lot of things with closed so I didn't choose this place initially but it was clutch. Empanadas were great The door they were made with flaky soft. Ingredients were good. Beef was a little dry the yuca balls were great. To see myself going back for some of their fried chicken as well. It was delicious. Not bad guys, thanks.

4-Star Review for Alex’s Chimis

Alex’s Chimis serves up some seriously delicious Spanish food, and the flavors never disappoint! Every dish is well-seasoned, cooked to perfection, and definitely hits the spot. If you’re craving authentic and tasty Spanish cuisine, this is a solid choice.

That being said, I do feel like the portions could be more generous, especially for the price. I’ve been to other Spanish restaurants where you get enough food to easily feed two to three people for the same price, whereas here, the portions are more single-serving. While the food is amazing, a little more value for the price would make it even better.

Overall, if you’re looking for great-tasting Spanish food, Alex’s Chimis is still worth checking out. Just keep in mind that the portions aren’t as big as some other spots. Definitely recommend for the flavor, though!
