Evey dish we ordered was SO good, and really reasonably priced. Margaritas are very good and very strong, the sangria was so-so. Fun, lively vibe. Pros: awesome food, cheap, good margaritas

I remember when this place opened in the late 80s. I took me a while to visit, and I don't go often (about once a year), but whenever I'm in the mood for some very good pan-Latin food, I skip the scene at Patria or Chicama, and head over to Boca Chica. It's a 20-something crowd enjoying the good value (read: very inexpensive). Very loud, small room, but the food is very good, and so is the friendly, accomodating service. I always get the Camarones Chipolte, spicey, smokey, great beans. The drinks are excellent. One of the best mojitos and margaritas in the city, for a very good price--two of these and I'm loopy. The coconut flan for desert is very good. Boca Chica is a winner. I hope they say around for a long time. Pros: great food, Great Drinks, Great Service Cons: , No weekend reservatio

Boca Chica is an old-timer in this ever-flactuating corner of EV. Years ago they would clear out the tables after midnight and turn the restaurant into a steamy brazillian/salsa dance hall. It was a blast. Today it's just a ho-hum restaurant with mediocre food. Our chicken breast special looked pretty, but was terribly dried out and overcooked. The penionitas, advertised as "filled with spicy meat," were very sweet and hardly spicy, like bananas stuffed with hamburger helper. The fillet of fish with tomato sauce was mostly a lot of sauce on top of a very thin fillet. With so many better nearby choices, this place needs to shape up... Cons: mediocre food, bored service, overpriced

almost always it's easy to get a table right away, plantains for appetizer are amazing and the service is usually quick. good for a couple or a group of friends! dinner or weekend brunch.

Tasty, tasty, tasty! Boca Chica has a cool Cuban vibe going on combined with great inexpensive food. The plaintains with a slightly spicy black bean dip were a nice extra and the main dishes deliver as well. Try the pastel for an interesting combination of cornmeal, black beans and olives with a side of rice and beans. Get yourself a corona and you're good to go! Pros: inexpensive, tasty food, nice atmosphere

I had a nice dinner there last night. The waiters couldn't stop refilling our water. The complimentary plantain chips were tasty, and I appreciated the vegetarian entrees especially since this restaurant concentrates on their ultra-fresh vegetables. It's a reasonable restaurant with a fun atmosphere, and there's always something new to look at. Pros: colorful decorations, friendly service, quick water refills Cons: a bit loud

I stopped by for drinks a few months ago. The bartender was great, so were the drinks. We went back for dinner recently and were equally impressed with the service and the quality. Our waiter knew the menu very well and made some excellent suggestions. We had a tasty steak dish and (possibly) the best shrimp dish I've had in a restaurant. A great stop after catching a flick at Sunshine.

This restaurant is very over rated, quality of food is mediocre, too pricy for the food you get. Not true to carribean or latin food at all.
