Groovy and Delish
Friday, February 27, 2004
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
