About Chimichanga and Chimi’s
Chimichanga was established in 2016 when it opened its first outpost in Little India, making them one of the first casual Sing-Mex restaurants to burst into the scene. They are known for their unique, Singapore-inspired take on traditional Mexican cuisine, infusing elements of Mexican spices and flavours into their cooking but catering to the Singaporean palate, which they define as “Sing-Mex”.
Following the success of Chimichanga Little India, they launched sister brand, Chimi’s at Marina Bay in 2018. As demand grew, they welcomed Chimichanga Holland Village in 2020. 2022 was a big year for the brands with Chimi’s Somerset opening in March and the latest, Chimichanga Paya Lebar that was launched in November. The exciting journey continues as Chimichanga prepares to open its doors at Vivocity this December.
With five outlets across Singapore under the Chimichanga or Chimi’s brand, they’re proud to offer diners a good variety of hearty bites such as Burritos, Tacos, Quesadillas and Chimichangas. It also caters to fancier items such as the crowd-favourite Ribeye Steak and Lamb Cutlets at their Chimichanga outlets. To go with any meal, diners can enjoy hand-crafted cocktails which include the signature Frozen Margaritas and an in-house craft beer, Neon Donkey Cerveza.
