Originally based out of Lubbock Texas, Chimy’s Cerveceria came to Fort Worth several years ago and has been serving up some of the strongest margaritas in town ever since.  Their location is really just an alley behind a strip mall on the west side of Fort Worth.  If this place doesn’t look, smell, and feel like a Regular Joe’s type place then nothing does.

It is probably easiest to start with the margaritas which happen to be named after automobiles.  You can get anything from the Cadillac (most popular) to the Porsche or Ferrari or many others.  I upgraded to the Porsche and it did not disappoint.  The Porsche was huge and even though I do not tend to think of myself as a lightweight I only needed one to do the trick.

The food was very basic tex-mex.  Your choices range from nachos to quesadillas to “gut rockets” which are their version of chimichangas.  I decided to go with the chicken fajita nachos which were enormous.  You could easily feed two people here.  At a $6.99 price point, the nachos tasted exactly like what you think you would get for $6.99 fajita nachos.  But after finishing about half of my margarita, I enjoyed the nachos very much.  Maybe this was because half my body was numb.

The wife tried one of the “gut rockets” being that she love chimichangas.  She thought it was pretty good, but not great.  Again at a price point of about 5 bucks, perhaps her expectations should have been tempered a bit.

Chimy’s has a huge patio area with a bunch of large screen televisions for watching sports.  They also tend to play good music especially if you are into the Texas country music scene.

Overall, I would go to Chimmy’s for the scene and margaritas. For a Regular Joes type place, it rates high in my book.  You get margaritas that will knock your socks off and you get decent Mexican food that is very favorably priced.
