Chifrijos LLC Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Ansonia

Overall, for our party of 2, we enjoyed our time, food and cocktails. That was unfortunately overshadowed by a feeling of deception upon receiving the bill from the owner who did not alert our party of the over 15% gratuity that was automatically added. Luckily, I reviewed my bill and caught it. Upon approaching the business owner, I politely asked if they could educate patrons ahead of time on their gratuity practices and policies. Per the owner, they automatically add gratuity on bills over $100. Times are fiscally tender and challenging and most folks do good just to contribute 10% gratuity THAT'S not mandated..its just customary in our state to tip. As a business owner myself, clear is kind and unclear is not kind..Future patrons should be informed so they can budget accordingly and consent to what they are showing up for. It's very customary to automatically add gratuity on parties of 5+ AND to recommend suggested gratuity for all other parties. To automatically add 15%+ gratuity on bills over $100 means that EVERY part of a partrons' experience must be above par. Transparency is just best business practice. There is a lot of promise for this establishment and hopeful that they are open to evolving so that they can maintain roots in that community. If it weren't for the gratuity snafu, we'd give 41/2...

I just moved to Ansonia and went out to eat for the first time and what an incredible dining experience I had Chifrijos Restaurant!

First, I went there late and they had just closed the kitchen (at the end of the 3rd quarter of the Celtics game on Sunday night)seeing I was disappointed they offered to make the food and I was very happy. They went above and beyond to cater to my needs.

The quality of food was exceptional - every bite was bursting with flavor and freshness. The menu offered a great variety of options, and the portions were generous to say the least.

The ambience was warm and inviting, with a vibrant atmosphere that perfectly balanced modern style and traditional charm. The decor was tasteful and elegant, while I was enjoying my meal, the owner Gustavo came over, introduced himself and welcomed me to his restaurant. I thought that was great.

What truly impressed me, though, was the impeccable cleanliness and attention to detail, the facilities were sparkling clean.

Overall, Chifrijos Restaurant has earned a well-deserved 5 stars from me. If you're looking for an outstanding dining experience that checks all the boxes, look no further! Can't wait to come back and savor more of their...

We had my sister's 30th birthday here. Gustavo the owner let me do a little setup with cake and balloons....he even played the happy birthday song twice.....when she came into the restaurant and when we cut her cake. He was super accommodating and a pleasure to work with. The food was so fresh and tasty! We ordered a seafood Jalea. It was so fresh and crispy! My dad even joked if they had just gotten the fish from the sea? Best fresh seafood dish I've had. We ordered a variety of dishes for a party of ten and everything was delicious. The restaurant was spacious enough that when my kids got a little bored they enjoyed sitting and playing by the nice couches they have. I even had one of my girls fall asleep and the coaches were so convenient! I definitely enjoyed myself here. Had like a nice club setting vibe.....great music and lighting but not so loud, I was still able to have conversation with my family visiting from NY. Usually, I'm very nervous about other guests with 4 little ones....but we all truly enjoyed being at Chifrijos! Great atmosphere 🔥 Sorry we did not take pictures of food because we were truly enjoying it...we were starving and we went straight for the food....no time...
