★★★★★ 5.0 Marcos Nguyen · Jan 2026

Came here at 200am on a Saturday and it wasnt too crowded. I ordered 2 churasco chimis and a fritura. The bread on the chimi was fresh and soft. The Fritura was longaniza and orejitas with plantains. It was all good. Service was great. Food was even better. I will be back

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Patricia Caraballo · Jan 2026

This food truck should honestly be shut down. One of the worst chimis I’ve ever had and I’m Dominican, so I know what a chimi is supposed to be. This was not it at all. Service was fast, but the food felt lazily thrown together. The chimi fell apart halfway through eating it, and the bun was oddly stiff. Overall, a real disappointment. Save your money.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 David Gonzalez · Nov 2019

Food was okay, service was fast. The buns were a bit stiff, and the menu was a bit hard to understand. I got el Tigre (pictured) and I asked for pulled pork with it. I ended up receiving it with hamburger meat as well, but was not a fan of it - ended up removing it. This is a food truck next to a gas station, but it is easy to find.

Fritura estaba buena. Comi quipe y empanadas de yuca. Probably best customer service I have received from a Chimi truck in South Florida. Pricing is decent. Next to a gas station so you make get drinks.
