Great food, great atmosphere, good service, but with a large group it's definitely difficult to be served together and in a timely manner. The food is worth it, though. If you're going out to eat with 2-3 friends you should definitely check it out. It is in a bit of a remote spot so it's certainly not a tourist attraction!

I came with a large group on Friday night, but there was delicious sangria so the 30 minute was no big deal. The food was really, really good (sweet plaintains filled with spicy beef are small, but every perfect bite counts!). The menu truly is a terrific blend of fusion food, so whether you want a burrito, mango gazpacho, or tostones they've got it in some delicous way! Pros: Great fusion Cons: Loud

I've been to many spanish restaurants and I must say that Boca Chica was one of the best. The waiter/waitress were extremely fast and efficient. The food was amazing!!! It was layed out beautifully and smelled so good. Well worth the wait. I went there on a Saturday, and it was packed. I would definitely go there again!! Pros: The Ropa Vieja was delicious Cons: Tight seating

yum-eeee. ambiance: festive, fun, loud and boisterous - but not obnoxious, laid-back, colorful prices: a little pricey, but not TOO bad food: last night was my first time... i tried the shrimp ticul [green chili sauce with red onions and lime juice] accompanied by black beans, white rice and a type of coleslaw salad. The shrimp was absolutely ridiculously amazingly deliciously spicy and fresh. It was SO good and flavorful. I highly recommend this dish if you can handle your mouth being on fire. service: strictly business - good speed, was not rushed, efficient, no extra chatter, water was filled regularly meal came out to about $24 including a pacifico, tax, and tip Pros: overall: most excellent Cons: a little overpriced - but maybe it's because I live in bklyn

Great ambience, fun and quirky crowd and pretty good food. Not great food, but filling and satisfying. Good sangrias and mojitos. The steak sandwich is very good as is shrimp ceviche (although a ceviche is a wrong term since the shimp is actually cooked, not marinated). Pros: good food, nice ambience Cons: a bit overpriced for this kind of food

We spent $40 a piece here. The dinner was really good, but that is somewhat pricey for the Lower East Side. The big expense was the great Xingu Beer at $6.50 a pop. The spicy shrimp was a welcome change in a city full of food wimps. All the dishes were delicious, and the staff was really accommodating of our rearranging the furniture as we grew. Dessert? The pineapple with rum sauce! Come before 7 if you want to be sure of a seat. Yowsah! --Eat club is a roving group of NYC gluttons. Pros: great food, accommodating staff Cons: a bit pricey for the neighborhood

When my boyfriend and I were going on our first date I went on citysearch to find a good inexpensive date spot. I chose Boca Chica and I am so happy I did. The place is very small and but also very colorful and festive. The food is authentic and DELICIOUS. My boyfriend is not very adventurous when it comes to food but he loved the Arroz con Pollo and even ate some of my Ropa Vieja. This is not a trendy hopping bar the attitude of the place is that more of a cafe than a restaurant but it is very good food for a very good price and the decor puts you in a great mood. Plus if you want to check out the bar scene afterwards it is in a great location. There are probably six tables and one booth in the entire place but the staff does not rush you out, Try the Flan and the white sangria- both delicious! My boyfriend and I have been together over a year now and he still suggests Boca Chica everytime we plan to go out to eat. Pros: Delicious authentic food Cons: none

I love this place. I've been here lots of time and try to bring anyone who hasn't tried it. The food is fresh, flavorful and delicious. I don't know how else to describe it. It's a bar/restaurant, so it's loud music, crowded around the bar. Free plaintains and bean dip fills you up, so don't indulge. Their drinks are great and service is quick. Pros: Great food, drinks. Cons: 1 Bathroom, get's crowded and loud later in the evenings
