Eat.Here.Now: Boca Chica

If you're ever around the East Village and want to eat amazing latin food for a good price, go to Boca Chica. Main entries range from $13 to $25 bucks and they serve pretty big portions. But be careful with the drinks, you'll be tipsy off of one margarita.

I recommend:

- Chicken Havana: Chicken breast sauteed with almonds and other yummy ingredients I can't remember off the top of my head :)

- Ropa Vieja: Shredded beef in a delicious tomato based sauce

- Beef Piononos: Spicy ground beef wrapped around sweet plantains (bold combination, delicious result)

Location:

13 1st. Ave (on the corner on 1st St) NY 10003

Closest train: F train, 2nd Ave/LES stop

Buen provecho.
