The Scene – Cheetah-print banquettes, bamboo lanterns and a few elements of '60s kitsch and Southwestern decor are thrown together for just enough of a jumbled theme to make this East Village nook look festive and fun.

Delicious Fusion!

by JessAtl

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

Yummy, delicious, & aromatic!!

by BaruchGrad

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!!
