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 ...

Worst

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 d...

now if we can just get her a job... 9/23/2002

Had a friend in from out of town and what better way to start a great nite than at Boca Chica? Good sangria, zesty food, and a fun crowd of guys at the table next to us (thanks for the tequila shots) made a very convincing argument for her to move here! Thanks for the fun memories more

yummy tastes for your boca 9/13/2002

Unpretentious and delicious would aptly describe Boca Chica. The portions are enough for two and very affordable and the service is prompt and helpful. Who knew that plantains could be so good?The drinks are amazing -- the pina colada is so good you want to be alone with it for some quality time! Next time you want a little bit of latin american loving, I would definitely recommend stopping by. Pros: reasonable, tasty Cons: smallish more

Delicious food and STRONG drinks that pack a wallop. The pork stuffed plantains are very flavorful with the perfect balance of the sweet plantains and the spicy pork. I take friends that visit from out of town so that we can all sample the dishes and have yet to be less that completely please with the food. Pros: Fantastic food, strong drinks Cons: strong drinks more

Fun Place Decent Food 6/21/2002

This is a loud fun place to go. Quick service (once you get a table), and decent food. If you go on a Thurs or Fri evening be prepared to wait b/c the place gets jammed early. The acoustics of the place make it seem like everyone is talking at full volume - it's so loud you could probably discuss classified information inside and the people at the next table won't hear you. Pros: Fun, Cheap, Location Cons: Loud, Croweded more

serious drinks 5/29/2002

Been to Boca Chica twice and loved both experiences.....once with a large group and once with a friend. Food is wonderful, as well as the mojitos. Watch out though, they do not play around with the alcohol!!!! more

Great undiscovered brunch spot. 5/15/2002

If you've been intimidated by the massive dinner crowds, try Sunday brunch (but, sadly, not open on Saturday morning). Food is tasty and not too heavy. Love the eggs migas. And brunch cocktails are a measly 2 bucks. more

First on First 5/12/2002

Rave-inspiring seafood, spicy specialties and strong drinks in a crowded but amiable atmosphere. Added draw: we saw several Beastie Boys here with Cibo Matto. more
