Calling all seafood lovers! Huge portions with quality food for a great price. Note: It is helpful if you speak Spanish. If not, I think you can get away with pointing but you definiately have an advantage if you can converse to ask about the daily specials! Boca Chica is a Dominician seafood joint that also serves chicken, pork and beef. But why order that when you can order their speciality of seafood? Their complimentary fish soup is so tasty that I didn't even want to order anything else. In fact, the first time I came here I just ordered a bowl of their fish soup with a side of rice. Very hearty and satisfying. You have to ask the lady in the front what kind of fish they have for the day. If they have grouper-go for it. Amazing, fresh and tasty. They also have ceviche and shakes so go crazy here because this place is a secret gem for delicious affordable seafood. I am so glad that my colleague introduced me to this place. read more

Just as the upscale Domican restaurant Gabbana moves into the neighborhood, Boca Chica comes to remind us all that things change and things stay the same. Boca Chica is a treat. The tasty smell of seafood cooking is strong enough to draw you in from the street. On entering you'll see some pre-prepared mangu (mashed plantains and onions), grilled fish, ensalada de pulpo (octopus salad). You'll be greeted with a smile, some bachata or reggaeton but most deliciously, (if you're lucky) a free sample of the days soup. Perfect is all I have to say about that and we haven't even started eating yet! Had the pork mofongo (a Dominican/Carribean plantain cake) and it twas plenty and wonder-ful. Fish sandwich: bread, fried fish and salad. Tasty, so-so. Hot chocoloate (in summer you ask) delish. Whole milk with a hint of cinnamon. If I were a traditionalist I'd say that Boca Chica is "real" Dominican food. Whatever it is, I know I'll be back for more.... read more

Is a good quick home style meal spot. They have hot buffet daily menu. Is hood Dominican food.

Boca Chica is such a friendly and homey restaurant. I started with the fish croquettes and seafood salad- ceviche. My daughter had the steak sautéed with onions served with rice and beans. The beans are so fresh and I really felt like I was eating at my moms house. The steak was perfectly cooked and the ceviche tasted as if I was at the Boca Chica beach. The service was great. They treat you as family and I love restaurants like this. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

The delivery was fast. The lady taking my order was super nice. The taste of the food was just ok. Also their prices increased slightly and they haven't updated their website. read more

Small place but food taste good. The chicharrón de pollo very good. Chinola juice good. The ribs perfect!

Dead cheap lunch special under seven bucks. You can chicken, rice, beans, plantain, and small soup. Lot of other options in the menu. Drink is very good as well. They natural juice like mango, papaya, watermelon, lemon. The music is always loud as much Dominican restaurant place. Lot of merengue, bachata in the background. The decor is average. Service is good. They also have a bar. Bar is always empty at lunch time; maybe busy during dinner. I will go back again and again:) read more

Boca chica is my favorite Dominican restaurant. The food is really good such as, the roasted chicken The breaded shrimp Octopus/ shrimp salad Chuleta Boneless chicken chunks Pernil The tostones and maduros aren't greasy or cold when we get our order The empanadas & tres leche are good as well Definitely worth it. Of course seafood platters are more expensive which is everywhere including the super market so that isn't a surprise. Overall it's great. Customer service is great as well read more

Really good Dominican food love the sancocho and the stuffed chicken and the black rice beans the beans soooo good Am in love with their food read more

Lived around the corner from this place and it was go to! Their food is mouth watering! And I only ever ordered from their hot lunch I cant imagine how good everything off the menu is!! read more

Small take out or dine in Restaurant with food that's out of this world..... The complementary seafood soup that they give you was so good I had to order a big bowl along with my meal. I got the skirt steak with mash and vegetables, excellent. And they were not stingy on the portions of food. Parking is rough in that area. read more

I usually don't write reviews but this restaurant which I have ordered from many times. Provided me the worst service. First the got my order wrong when I said something the lady on the phone was upset yelling. I told her what was missing and she later sent it which was a fish soup that was like dish water with fish bones. Unacceptable boca chica is a seafood restaurant. We were not able to eat it any of it. read more

We always order for pickup and have never dined inside. Unfortunately they do only speak Spanish so my Dominican husband does all the ordering on the phone. We always get the Chicharron de Pollo and it is so good. Crispy and tasty. Their sancocho is delicious as well. I wish they were on Seamless or Grubhub so it'd be easier. They have a lot of combos for families. Would def recommend! read more

When I lived in the Bronx, mangu con tres golpes was a biweekly indulgence. In Queens, I've yet to notice a Dominican restaurant. I was so excited when my coworker told me about Boca Chica! Got mangu for take out and was completely satisfied. So good! Can't wait to come back to try their other dishes. read more

Very different decor and atmosphere from the Boca Chica in Manhattan. This is a family-style authentic Latin place, only the locals would go. We stumbled in and got free soup right away. The paella for 1 was indeed HUGE - no kidding, the single plate could feed at least 4 people. Lesson learned! If I'm going back there, I will bring a "gang" and a Spanish translator for sure. read more

Worst customer service ever! Like chill, your food is okay and not to die for, definitely one of those I don't feel like cooking but want a meal that appears home cooked. So I just placed an order or attempted to under the impression that I could pay with a credit card on the phone. After an excruitiang conversation trying to have these ladies understand me, the lady reads me back my order and is quick to rush me off the phone in which I paused her to say can I pay with a card? She says "no, so am I sending you the order?" Didn't give me a chance to respond and decided to hang up on me... Yup, that's so rude. Don't hang up on me. Okay food + terrible service = 0 stars, yelp forces that 1 star though. read more

For great Dominican food with plenty of seafood, you can't beat this unless you fly to DR yourself! The paella for 1 was enough for 2 people plus leftovers! Delicious! Next time I'm going for the mofongo but just didn't have enough room in the tummy! This is not a 4 star restaurant. It's a nicer cuchifrito which for non spanish speaking community, it's equivalent to a Chinese restaurant where they deliver, take out, or eat in. Be warned. Service is friendly but slow. And it helps if you speak a little Spanish! Have a drink! Morir sonando is a traditional Dominican juice which mixes orange juice and milk. It sounds like a mess but omg it's so delicious!! read more

I just came back from Boca Chica and it is the last time I will be eating there. There was a hair in my food plate and I requested to speak to the manager. The manager was not in and the staff members apologized but did nothing to remediate the situation. Stay away from this place if you are not into eating human hair. read more

I was craving fish , so went to my very trusted app (yelp) to see what was in the area i work. I found this cute little Dominican spot and it was everything i wanted , great food , great service , and clean bathroom .. the rice beans and fried fish were to die for , almost as good as mine read more

If you want to grab something fast or dine in (the portions are huge). The food here is delicious, the fish is fantastic. Everything is just so good. The milkshakes are splendid, and the prices make it even better. read more

Never come here was one of the slowest spots ever had to wait a whole hour just a get the food and another just to pay

Such a shame -- they put Delivery Menu in our box and the food looked very nice. It was written in English and Spanish, but no one speaks much English if you call for delivery. Second, it shows credit cards and advertises "free delivery", but lady said no credit cards so we had to cancel the entire offer after so much time on the phone. My suggestion: Its ok not to speak English, just use 9Fold, Seamless or some online order system to deal with the order problem, otherwise, you're wasting a beautiful looking menu. I really wanted to try it!!! :-( read more

Great atmosphere and service. The wait staff are very accommodating, professional, and very hospitable. The seafood was fresh and well prepared. I plan on returning, all the way from CI, Brooklyn, and would strongly recommend. read more

I've been eating at boca chica since it opened. The lunch specials are great for 7 dollars you get a fare about of rice beans and meat of your choice. The reason I give it only 2 stars is because when you eat in the service is terrible When the owner is there the service is great but if you go in on a day she's not in be prepared for long waits and terrible service all and all for dominican food it's ok but be sure to take out. read more

Well worth the trek if you happen to not live in the area. Be warned that parking is tight but not impossible. And, as one Yelper pointed out, it would be helpful if you spoke Spanish but it's not completely necessary unless you're one of those 'this is America, speak English' kinda people. 'Boo' to you if you are. I went with a large group which added to the fun, the ability to try many dishes and the waitress' confusion. We had seafood soup, salad, mofongo, tostones, maduros, oxtail, chuletas, rice and beans (duh), grouper (I think it was grouper) and the special paella...mmmmm speacial paella! Portions were quite large and food was delicious. We ordered regular sized 'orders' of everything and the bill came to @ $18 a head...not bad at all but it could be much less if you stick to the specials...especially during lunch. read more

This place has pretty good columbian food... haven't been to many columbian joints, but their paella was ok....skirt steak was too well done.. make sure u tell them how u want your steak.... very big portions. It takes a while for the foods to be prepared though. read more

Boca Chica is one great seafood restaurant. You can get more than just seafood by the way. I got the grilled shrimp with tostones (fried plantains), I also got their homemade chinola juice (passion fruit). As soon as you sit down you are greeted with friendly service and a complimentary fish soup. I was told by the owners that it is family owned, a big plus for me. The food took a little extra to come out, hence the 4 stars but great food takes time. read more

The food is good but their service sucks!!!! I called in for a delivery. Waited over and hour and half wondering were my order was I called again to find out that it was still there!! So if I hadn't called I would've still be seating here waiting for it!!! Just horrible!! Now I'm waiting. Let's see how long this should take. read more

Ordered pechuga a la plancha con arroz y habichuelas for my boyfriend and mango batido for myself. According to my boyfriend the food tasted wonderful and from my experience the service was super friendly. Even though I was ordering to go I was still offered soup to eat while I waited. The mango batido was fresh and there were mango chunks inside!!! I loved that!!! Definitely will be coming back here and I'd recommend this place for anyone looking for reasonably priced delicious food! read more

Boca Chica is amazing. It is a casual and family friendly atmosphere. I loooove their fish soup which they give as appetizer (you can opt for the seafood soup as appetizer instead). Their portions are super generous while being easy on your wallet. The fresh juices are wonderful (love the chinola juice) and the food is very flavorful. My favorite is the fried Grouper with garlic sauce on top...talk about flavor explosion!! This place is a must try!!! FYI they have bottles of wine...SCORE!!!! read more

Traveled to Boca Chica during 4 hour flight delay at LaGuardia. Restaurant is about 10 mins drive from the airport. Just like the other reviews on the site, I was greeted with a warm smile and the most delicious fish soup I've ever tasted. Be careful, 'cause that stuff is served piping hot! Splurged and treated myself to the Paella. It took every bit of 30 mins for me to get my order but it was DEFINITELY worth the wait. The chicken postellito was amazing. The Paella was DELICIOUS and the single order was enough to feed hubby and I dinner....but wait...there's more... the leftovers was enough for me to have a nice sized lunch today. Pack your patience if you want Paella but it is absolutely worth the wait. read more

Delicious! The complimentary fish soup was a pleasant surprise and I don't usually like fish soup. Grouper relleno was very good. The grilled seafood platter was amazing. No complaints here. It took a while to get our food but good things are worth waiting for :) read more

Very good Spanish restaurant for Seafood. You must have the Boca Chica seafood pasta and the fish in coconut. Also the Skirt Steak and Shrimp are really good. The meat is seasoned well. Everyone loved the plantain, rice and the beans also. I am going to order from them more often. This is now one of my favorite restaurants in Corona. read more

I have ordered from here in the past and the food and delivery was great. Unfortunately, the last time i ordered, the food was a bit late (1 hour) but we brushed it off because we figured they were busy and we were ordering at a peak time on a Friday night. Fast forward tonight and our food came (1hr 45min) later. We actually forgot about the food because we were so into our movie. My wife was like "What happened to our food?" At this point, my kids were looking to go to bed and I figured, let me call them to cancel since it didn't make sense to eat at 10:30 pm. The lady on the phone didn't apologize and said the food was on the way. I told her we have been waiting close to 2 hours and would like to cancel. She was kind've of polite with a dash of condescending and insisted the food had left..as soon as I hung up, the bell rang and i answered the door it was the delivery guy by now, we were about to go to bed, my daughter was tired and couldn't keep awake, it was disaster. The delivery guy told me they were busy. When I originally ordered, I has specifically asked the lady of the delivery time and she told me in Spanish "Don't worry love, your food will get there in 40 min to 50 min max" I was OK with that and waited....and waited....forgot... Its a shame that I have to write such a harsh and negative review since the food is good but the service was horrible and sadly after this, I won't be returning. Its also unfortunate that until I find a good Dominican Restaurant near me, I will be going back to my old favorite restaurant in my home town in Brooklyn.Had I known, I could've ordered my food picked it up in Brooklyn and still make it before the delivery this delivery with some time to spare. If you're in Brooklyn and want to check out the restaurant i'm talking about, its called :El Buen Gusto 5201 4th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11220. We've been going there for years and the food is always fresh and service is great. read more

great variety of buffet food: usually 2 types of fish fillets, fish stew, pork shoulder, steaks, stew chicken, rotisserie chicken, sweet plantains, boiled yuca, 3 salads choose 1 protien, rice and a side = $9 add on soup and salad =$11 you can either sit down to eat this or take it to go if you feel like ordering off the menu, the food is fast as well great for delicious Dominican food, in a casual, quick bite environment the owner knows me and since I have been eating there for over 7 years! read more

Their food is absolutely DELICIOUS and affordable!!! My favorite is their Chicharroned de pollo ")

My favorite restaurant where I can eat a little of everything from the steam table. Great food and great people. I love Boca Chica read more

If you like seafood this is a great spot. They serve your usual hot spanish dishes as well too but i went in for fish. I had cod fish with rice . The fish was cooked in a coconut oil and was very tasty. I liked their seafood dishes because its not often you find a place that serves seafood like this. Its different and thats what i like. I would go back. read more
