Chimichanga, homegrown Mexican restaurant brand, launched their newest and most expansive outlet yet at VivoCity—Singapore’s largest shopping mall. The 160-seat eatery, spanning across 4,000 square feet with options for both indoor and alfresco dining, marks a milestone for the Singaporean brand with the launch of its sixth location. Situated along the mall’s scenic waterfront, this newest outlet offers views of the sea, Sentosa and a seafood-forward menu inspired by the Pacific Coast of Mexico.
Located on Level 1 of VivoCity, Chimichanga embraces the architectural elegance of Mexico’s distinct architectural style, specifically Oaxaca. The interior design, reminiscent of the Jalatlaco neighbourhood, features stucco walls in delicate pink to rich terracotta hues, complemented by woven seagrass pendant lights and sustainable bamboo-adorned ceilings. This artistic blend creates a resort-like atmosphere, perfect for a casual, convivial dining experience.
As the Singaporean palate continues to embrace both the bold and nuance flavour Mexican cuisine offers, the team at Chimichanga endeavours to introduce a modern interpretation of the cuisine. Drawing inspiration from Pacific Coast of Mexico and the significant Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade, the chefs’ inspiration centres seafood. This focus on fresh seafood, served in sharing portions, is designed to enhance the communal dining experience. Highlights include Pulpo Asado Al Carbon (Grilled Octopus Leg), Pescado Espada and Aguacate Ceviche, El Gran Pescado (Whole Baked Catch of the Day Fish).
The menu draws inspiration from Mexico’s rich meat recipes and cuts – from the juicy Wagyu Hanging Tender Carne Asada to the Hanging Tender Beef and Smoked Duck Tartare and 12-hour tender smoked Lamb Shank Barbacoa, offering a hearty selection. For regulars, all of Chimichanga’s classics remain a staple on the menu at this exciting new location.
Chimichanga VivoCity is designed to be inclusive, where every guest, including four-legged ones, can find their spot under the sun or stars. The space was designed with a pet-friendly alfresco terrace that welcomes dog owners to dine alongside their furry companions.
The heart of Chimichanga lies in its communal space, perfect for large parties and
designed to foster lively interactions over shared meals. For those flying solo, the restaurant offers a range of comfortable seating options to enjoy a peaceful meal. At Chimichanga VivoCity, each visit is an invitation to partake in a festive atmosphere, where the essence of Mexico is served not just on a plate but through an enriching dining experience that celebrates life’s flavours. Chimichanga VivoCity is now open daily for lunch and dinner.
