What Is a Dominican Chimiburger?
The chimi — short for chimichurri — is the Dominican Republic's most famous street burger. You'll find it sizzling on food trucks and street corners all over the island, especially at night. It's comfort food, party food, and late-night food all in one, and it's a cornerstone of Dominican street food.
What Makes a Chimi Different From a Regular Hamburger?
A Dominican chimi isn't your standard American cheeseburger. The difference is in the build: it's traditionally made with well-seasoned beef, a pile of crunchy shredded cabbage and onion, and a signature pink sauce, all tucked into soft, lightly toasted bread. The result is juicier, tangier and more layered than a plain burger — unmistakably Dominican in every bite.
The Típico Sweet & Salt Chimiburger
At Típico Sweet & Salt, the Chimiburger is our signature and the dish we're named for — the Home of the Chimiburger. Ours is built with seasoned beef, Dominican slaw and our own chimi sauce on toasted pan, made fresh to order. It's the taste of the D.R. brought straight to Wilkes-Barre and Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Come hungry — and pair it with a yaroa, empanadas or a fresh Limón con Avena to make it a full Dominican street-food spread.
