A “Mexican fusion restaurant specializing in tapas and tequila with a modern twist”, Boca Chica, is set to open in February. Exact date still TBA.
The press release makes it sound quite snazzy:
The 6,500 square‐foot dining area will accommodate up to 225 diners, with seating made up of high‐top tables, banquettes and ample outdoor patio seating. The open‐style kitchen will include two exclusive chef tables with seating for seven that are built directly into the kitchen line.
The menu will look something like this:
Pork meatballs, cooked with bacon and watercress in a smoked tomato‐saffron sauce.
Nachos, topped with duck confit, chicharrones, black beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, red onion and Chihuahua cheese fondue.
Ceviche, featuring lobster, shrimp or the daily market selection.
Nine different tacos including chicken, carnitas, chorizo or seafood, lobster with frothed corn and smoked jalapeño crème, or a vegetarian option with corn, mushrooms, spinach, pico de gallo and queso fresco.
Faldilla, a skirt steak made with cherry tomatoes, roasted corn, wild mushrooms, spinach, red onion marmalade and tortillas.
Huevos Rancheros complete with fried eggs, tortillas, charred tomato salsa, avocado, Chihuahua cheese, beans and green rice.
Grandes plates for groups of four with whole fresh market fish stuffed with lobster pico de gallo and broiled in lime butter sauce with green rice and tortillas, or pollo en mole, a smoked whole chicken with mole poblano, pico de gallo, garlic roasted potatoes and tortillas …
Thirty imported tequilas and myriad creative cocktail options.
