Chimichurri

This place used to be so much better The food here is really good— possibly some of the best fast food in the five towns. I love the rice bowls and the embrulho. But the service here detracts from the dining experience. Unlike other restaurants around here, they charge money for sauces. Unlike other restaurants around here, they don’t offer any lunch special deals. The service is slow in-store, and one of the workers is incredibly rude. I asked her if I could just pay to add vegan cheese to my burger because I’ve done it here before, and she accused me of lying and told me off in a rude tone. It’s funny because I’ve seen other reviewers mention her unprofessional behavior as well. Also, they didn’t even have forks today. They gave me a spoon to eat my fried chicken. The stinginess of t

Eight Years of Loyalty—Now Sadly, the Flame Has Gone Out My wife and I have been loyal customers of Chimichurri for nearly eight years—long before we were married. I first discovered it while working at St. John’s Hospital in Far Rockaway, when colleagues ordered it for a late shift. The food blew me away, and I couldn’t wait to share it with my wife, who came from Miami at the time. She normally doesn’t like chicken, but after her first bite she said it was the best chicken she’d ever tasted. For years, we both agreed. Back then, Chimichurri was a cozy little spot—half the size it is now, with only a few tables, a warm atmosphere, and an owner who genuinely cared about the food and his guests. The charcoal aroma, the perfectly crisp skin, the juicy meat—it was everything you wanted from

The fried chicken was delicious! We got the dark mean and it was really good. The Ratatouille and coleslaw were ok. The fries weren't soggy and the salad was good. The food was warm, NOT hot. They are very cheap with table wear and sauces... They knew we came in with 3 people, ordered a salad and the half chicken to share and only gave us 2 plates and sets of silverware until we asked, additional, they charged for any extra sauce... We got 4 pieces of chicken and only give you one small container of sauce with it ... It should have come with 2... Since you get one container with 2 pieces of chicken. The dining area was nice big and clean. They don't have any soap/paper towels in the bathroom but there are sinks with both right outside the restrooms.

Terrible service from this girl. She treated me badly. If you don't want to work, look for another place. Or if you didn't have a good day, don't treat people who have nothing to do with you badly. I simply wanted her to help me organize and she treated me terribly. I won't return to this place.

Chimichurri in Queens was a decent experience overall. They offer two different menus, one more Mediterranean style and the other leaning Latin, so I tried a mix of shawarma plates and burritos for the office. The portions were good and the food was still enjoyable even though I ate later than everyone else. Some of the flavors were different than expected, with curry notes that caught me a bit off guard, but nothing was bad. I did not try everything, so I would still be open to coming back again if I am in the area, even if it is not a place I would specifically seek out.
