This is a small take out spot with a counter and a few stools. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with the delicious smell of fried meat. The menu consists of typical fried Dominican street food including chimi sandwiches, tostones, fried yuca, batata and pork, chicken and beef. If you're into fried food this is a great spot. I ordered the fried batata with fried pork and my cousin ordered the beef chimi. We decided to wait outside because the place is very small and thankfully the food was ready in about 10 minutes.
This was surprisingly some of the best fried batata I've had outside of DR. Most places over cook the batata and it ends up being very dry but this was fried correctly and not dry. The fried pork was well seasoned and complimented the batata well. I'm not a big chimi fan but my cousin liked it. Besides the delicious fried food, the best thing we tried was the cereza juice. This juice was delicious and reminded me of the juices my family would make back in DR. I cannot wait to go back there and get more of this juice.

If you’re in New York and getting your fruita or a chimi anywhere else — it should be considered a crime! This is the spot for all your Dominican cravings. They have the best chimi and best fruita hands down. The Longaniza con Batata Frita is out of this world — I’m telling you, nothing beats it.
Take my word for it: leave everything on the chimi — don’t take a single thing off! The flavors come together perfectly. They also have a food truck, but I highly recommend visiting the store on St. Nicholas — it hits every single time.
Authentic, flavorful, and consistent — this place is a true gem for my Dominican people!!!!

Nice Washington Heights Chimi’s

Best Fritura and Chimi I’ve had in well, FOREVER. Just like DR type fritura. Very flavorful. Will drive back here again anytime I’m in the city. It’s worth it. To the people who I see complaining about size, seriously get over it. It’s a small(tiny) hole in the wall with lots of flavor and authenticity. This is not for fancy feasts. It’s FRITURA MI GENTE!

These people don’t speak Spanish or English. You know how many times i’ve come here and they keep getting my order wrong? I always ask for a chimi with onions but no tomatoes, and they always put tomatoes. At this point it’s out of spite and I highly recommend looking into other places that aren’t this stupid. What happened to the old woman who worked here back in 2021? After she left this place only got worse!!!!!!! This place SUCKS!!!!!!!

Felt like home, the bolas de yuca and quipes can be a bit small. The Chimis are solid, clean and flavorful.
