Festive, delicious, and easy on the wallet, Boca Chica is a natural for birthday celebrations or a first date. It’s also a shrimp-lover's dream, with various crustacean-centric dishes incorporating coconut, chiles, or garlic. Latin staples such as yuca and plantain feature prominently; the green plantain balls with onion vinaigrette may sound sketchy, but they're a menu highlight. Tropical cocktails like passion coladas and potent margaritas quench the spices. Be warned, however: No reservations accepted, so you’re likely to face a wait.
