Delicious Fusion!

by JessAtl at Citysearch

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!!

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

two words: shrimp ticul

by yummytummy123 at Citysearch

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

good casual spot

by splashkpl at Citysearch

came her friday night. arrived around 8 and had to wait 30 mins or so for a table. shared the shrimp quesaditas which were good but probably had like one shrimp in it. shared a pitcher of white sangria which was a lil bit too sweet and not too heavy on the alcohol. i had the ropa vieja which was good. served with black beans, white rice and some salad. my friend had one of their specials.. chicken with sweet potato? It was ok but the chicken was a little bland and felt a lil bit under cooked?? Everything smelled really good tho and the portions are pretty big. Shared teh chocolate bread pudding which was very good. Pretty much like a chocolate cake the size of a baseball. The bill came to $61 total after tax. Although the wait was annoying, the food was good so i might be back for a regular-night out kind of dinner.

• Pros: smells, taste, decent price
• Cons: long wait, tables too close together

Great Place!!!!

by makers at Citysearch

Boca Chica (small mouth) is a great place. The food is very good, try the Steak!!

I go here at least 2-3 a week and never had a bad time. Its very fun place. Bar scene gets really good too

on the weekends theres a little wait but having drinks at the bar makes time go by fast. service is always good. Dont let the long waits push you away from this fun/hip place.

• Pros: Great Food, Great Drinks, Good Prices, reservations only from Sunday- Thursday
• Cons: Music sounds like oldies should be updated more salsa please!! No reservations Fri-Sat

Great consistancy for years

by juicewheez at Citysearch

All the fish specials and shrimp dishes are fantastic. I've been going at least once every other week for years and the food is always first rate. I always bring out of town friends here and it never disappoints. The dipping sauce that comes with the complimentary plantains is amazing. Great, friendly staff as well.

• Pros: Fish/Shrimp Dishes
• Cons: Busy on weekend evenings, no reservations

Great all-around

by smdutt at Citysearch

Great ambiance, great drinks, great food in generous portions, what more can you ask for? All I would say is that you should come early because they don't take reservations. I had about an hour of a wait which I didn't even mind because I hung out at the bar and had some great drinks. Overall a class act.

• Pros: Ambiance, food & drinks, service
• Cons: A bit of a wait, just arrive earlier than you would like to eat, and you'll be fine.

Best place for a weeknight date!!!

by luismat at Citysearch

My girlfriend and I started going here a few years ago. We are in at least twice a month ever since. The food is always great. Drinks good and strong. Service is top knotch. Friday and Saturday night get kind of loud and sometimes a long wait. But that is true of any place, for Fridays and Saturdays, that is this good.

• Pros: Food, service, drinks.
• Cons: Friday and Saturday nights

Awful!!! Terrible service - VERY RUDE!!

by dragonchic at Citysearch

We recently went last Saturday, October 21, 2006, with a group of 13 people. We had called ahead to make reservations, but we were told we could not, however, we were told to arrive at around 6:30 to accommodate our party. Once we got there, 8 of 13 in our group, the hostess was rude and unprofessional. Her attitude did not change all night. We were finally able to sit when person number 11 arrived, but no sooner, the hostess would not sit our party, yet was angry that we were "blocking" her way. 13 people were sat on 3 small tables. The food was ok - not typical at all - I ordered an alleged Dominican dish (chicharrones de pollo) - it was far from what I ordered - it was just fried chicken, not chicharrones. After we ate dinner, 2 of our friends left - the rude hostess approached and wanted to take a table away since "you are only 11 now". We were not even allowed to order dessert nor coffee (which we were going to). I will NEVER go to this place.

• Pros: Mojitos were good
• Cons: SERVICE IS AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
