chimi in Boston?

[frank617]

The question was for a Chimi in Boston. If there are two things that I know about, it's Boston and Dominican food. As I posted above, Alex's Chimi in the Jamaica Plain section of Boston specializes in Chimi's. The price is right and the place is easy to find and is accessible by public transportation.

As for Sarge's comment that good Dominican food cannot be found in Boston, I completely disagree. There are many quality Dominican restaurants in and around Boston. Save your money on the flight to DR and head to 156 Blue Hill Ave. Roxbury. Merengue Restaurant will make you feel like you are in the DR. Check out their website. merenguerestaurant.com

Thank you all for the information. I'm gonna try frank617's suggestion for the place in Jamaica Plain, which is somewhat closeby me. Merengue Restaurant sounds good too. I was hoping to find something in Lynn, which has a pretty good size dominican population, but I guess I'm off to JP! Thanks again.

Okay, thought you wanted Boston info. Lynn has a few good places as well. Rincon Macorisano is probably the best sit-down dominican restaurant in Lynn. It's located on the corner of Washington Street and Liberty Street (Downtown). It's a little pricey. For fritura and comida criolla, you can't beat El Tipico Restaurant. Not great for the sit-down, most people take-out. Long lines at supper time. Prices are very reasonable. Not sure if they make chimis. Located on the corner of Tremont Street and Blossom Street (near St. Mary's High School). La Fe has a good reputation. I haven't eaten there in a while, though. They used to be on Union Street downtown, but I believe they are now on the Lynnway (southbound side). There's a new place on Union Street near Chestnut Street called La Parada that looks good. Haven't tried it yet. Also near the downtown is a little neighborhood joint that has good food. It's called El Sabroson and is located at 141 Chatham Street. They serve breakfast, lunch and supper. I don't know whether any of these places prepare Chimis, so you may want to still head for JP. After you eat at Alex's one block down you'll find Franklin CD's. They have the best selection of Latin music in Boston. They also have a sister store on Union Street in Lynn. Buen provecho!
