| - I need to return to Mickie Finnz someday to try something different than what I had last night after the Yelp event at Commonwealth. I was buzzing off alcohol so my review isn't completely based off of a sober palate.
The many times I have been Downtown I have always passed by Mickie Finnz assuming it was just another bar. I had no idea they actually had food. It is usually overshadowed by Hennessy's - the tavern next door that I used to frequent quite often while trying to max out my Jameson stamp card.
But back to Finnz - basically my friends and I needed food after drinking so much, so actually, this place was perfect. They offer a very eclectic menu, with some sandwiches, "munchies" (apps), and "Buckets" of seafood. I didn't really care to have a bucket last night so I went for a "munchie" instead.
I ordered the Chimichanga appetizers. I did not know what to expect because I was ordering Mexican food at an Irish sounding seafood place. (?) They came out naked aka they were not smothered with red sauce and cheese like you will typically get chimichangas. However, they were deep fried to a nice crispy exterior and hot interior of ground beef. I was surprised by the ground beef - usually chimichangas are shredded, but it did not deter me from eating them. They also come with a salsa, pico de gallo, sour cream, and lettuce. You can basically fork on whatever you like onto each chimichanga as you eat it. The platter comes with four of the mini chimichangas.
Our service was pretty good, our waitress nice. Although it would have been nice to have had our waters filled a little more often.
Like I said, I need to go back and give it another try. Next time I'll probably go for some seafood and get one of those "buckets" of fried deliciousness. For now I am giving the rating of A-OK.
