🔍 THE FIND

Ernest Van Dijckkaai 24, 2000

We went to Chimichurri for lunch. Asked for recommendations and we are so glad we did.
Without a doubt, one of the best jalapeño burgers we’ve ever tasted! Crunchy, perfect amount of spicy, saucy, and amazing meat.

The arepa was also very delicious! We will come back for the loaded fries because we were simply too full to keep eating.

We spoke with the owner who explained her passion for the business. From catering to serving arepas at the Saturday’s market at Theaterplein. Now finally, they opened the restaurant so everyone can taste their amazing food.
