Although some may question its birthplace (Tucson or Phoenix), no one debates that Chimi's roots are undoubtedly Arizonan.

Serving the Arizona community for over 65 years, Chimi has traveled the world and left its mark in countries as far off as India.

Chimi's aides (cheese, protein and beans) attest to its popularity as a soulful candidate full of heft and substance.

"Legend has it that one day in 1946, Woody Johnson, the founder of Macayo's Mexican Kitchen, accidentally dropped a meat-filled burro into a fryer, creating what now is a staple of Mexican restaurants across the Southwest." – The Arizona Republic
