OUR STORY

CHIRINGA, pronounced (CHI-RIN-GA), is a shortened reference to ‘Chiringuito’; which is an open-air, beachside enterprise; usually a bar, that sells meals and drinks, typically within a no-frill structure.

story-01

Our story begins in 2014, when CHIRINGA co-owner, Andy McKoski, frequented many of these communal chiringuitos in his travels to the Southern Coast of Spain; and specifically Tarifa, which is dubbed the ‘Kite-Surfing’ capital of the world. It was this social community beach vibe, combined with the vast array of brightly colored kites and airborne kite-surfers dotting the sky, that inspired McKoski to capture this elevated sensory experience into his own restaurant concept that meshed with the bright, bold, and flavorful tastes of fresh ‘beach cuisine’.

CHIRINGA’s offering emphasizes elevated ingredients, clean proteins, fresh fish, and a full-bar including fresh-squeezed juices for cocktails; all within an intimate and open-air setting that promotes an uplifting and communal place for all to gather. Our ‘come as you are’, and inviting counter-service model, offers an unintimidating and flexible experience with hints of being on ‘beach time’.

CHIRINGA is also, and appropriately, Spanish for ‘kite’ in some Caribbean countries. The high-flying kite in our logo symbolizes the essence of our concept - Elevated Beach Food; as well as the illustration of our motto - Eat Well + Fly High
