Chiringo will be the new establishment in "downtown" Grayton Beach, in the building on the corner where Shorty's was across from the Red Bar. Rob Fink, VP of Construction + Guerilla Marketing (according to his business card), gave me a tour and a look at the plans by McWhorter Vallee Design. The exterior will be quite different and unique.

The concept is a beach bar with a Mexican twist, and a raw bar. The building is being gutted and redesigned extensively. Chiringo derives from the Spanish word Chiringuito, meaning small beach bar. The upstairs will be one big open area, with lots of windows, and roll up doors so it can be open-air in good weather. The downstairs will feature a large bar and raw bar.

One of the folks involved was a founder of the successful chain of Tin Lizzy's in Atlanta (Flex Mex, similar to Tex Mex but adding in a bit of other cultures).

The plan is for Chiringo to be open in time for Spring Break. Demolition permits are in hand and that phase has begun. Future website will be at http://www.chiringograyton.com

Enjoyed lunch at Chiringo today. Our 1st visit. I had the pork sandwich and a tall Blue Moon draft. Wife had the salad w grilled chicken.
The food was outstanding. The place was clean. Friendly service and great atmosphere.
I'm an old guy, so the '70's disco-pop tunes oozing from the speakers only added to the pleasant experience.
We will return.

did you have the grouper sandwich fried or grilled or what? the fries are AWESOME. and you know I don't say that unless I mean it.

I had fried grouper sandwich and while the fish was beautiful, I didn't care for the rice flour - it was light and nice but I can't do the bitterness of rice flour. Next time I'll get it prepared another way.

I had the blackened Grouper. Wifey had the pork. Ate upstairs this time. Wonderful view and breezes. Fantastic.
And yes the fries are "hand cut". And cooked in gluten free oil I'm told.

My wife and I are lunch there today before heading back home. I had the fried grouper sandwich and she had the pork bowl. The grouper sandwich was the best I have ever had. Wife absolutely loved the pork bowl. Fries were great and she said the slaw was great as well. Service was great, too. We will definitely be adding this to our can't miss while there list moving forward.
