Best South American Restaurants in River Oaks

Another great experience at Chimba ! Thanks Andy for you outstanding service. We tried two cocktails: “Angel Mezcalita” and “Spicy Guerrero”. Both were espectacular! As a main we took the Milanesa and the Skirt Churrasco with truffle fries. Definitely we’ll come back soon!

Everyone at our table enjoyed lunch immensely. I had the tuna tartare and it was excellent with creamy avocado and crispy plantain chips.

Traveling from San Francisco…on Christmas Eve…. We didn’t even expect to find a restaurant open let alone serving with joy and enthusiasm! Not sure which shined harder…the food or the service! Both were extraordinarily exceptional! We got the tasting menu for a price we would never had expected in an SF restaurant! It was a steal! But our wonderful server informed us we didn’t pick from each course…we got ALL the plates in each course. We were like: uhm…I know we are two decent sized guys but we are not a small army. She said the plates were small! And that is the only complaint I have. She said the plates were small! She lied! Virtually every plate was an entire meal! Sooooo much food. And all of it so good, we couldn’t stop eating! It was crazy! And it was all for a fraction of the cost of a comparable meal in San Francisco! One of the top 3 restaurants of my life!

Dinner after intercontinental flight with some small bites

all of the most amazing meals we’ve had in a long time. The crabcake is highly recommended is a giant lump of blue crab with some Panko breadcrumbs. lobster mac & cheese is amazing with giant chunks of lobster. The 8 ounce fillet was cooked exactly the way it should be as a medium with plenty of flavor and juice in the middle. oysters were nice and tasty. Did not taste old or have a stinky smell to them . ambience was perfect and the staff was extremely attentive. Met the owner, the GM and the AGM all good dudes. Excellent service highly recommend recommend
