I finally gave the food a try got some Moro rice, Pollo guisado , beans & salad ... yumm the Moro w chicken so good must be combined in that great sauce goes well w the Beans & salad. Next time around tried the Steak guisado , salad & beans, the Steak was delicious, very flavorful went well with the salad & some white rice. I like to grab just White rice every so often very good rice perfect addition when u don't feel like cooking any. Service for the most has always been good & quick, price wise u certainly get a good value for your money. Small location not much on the ambiance but good to go. Good local spot , good prices forth the try!

We were disappointed with the outcome. Not one dish was hot. The (4) steaks were overcooked, the (5) sancochos were cold, 20) empanadas were cold and the meats inside super dried, (8) Cuban sandwiches were cold and burnt outside. I won't continue listing because I believe my point has been expressed. So sorry I chose this restaurant. Besides being disappointed, I was embarrassed. I won't rely on reviews that quickly again, let alone spend that kind of money.

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.

It has all the characteristics that yelping foodies like: 1) authentic ethnic food, 2) no one speaks English, 3) no one else who is not have that ethnicity is around, 4) really good food and 5) incredibly inexpensive. When I walked inside, the eyes of the lady working behind the counter got really big and round and everyone stopped eating and stared at me. I think they thought I was lost and wanted directions. When I tried to order food, my goodness, the excitement! No one spoke English well, so the few people who were around tried to help me with their broken English. With their help and my little knowledge of Spanish (thank goodness I grew up in LA) I managed to order some food. Tienda Guatemalteca is a little bodega that has a little hot bar at the back that serves delicious Guatemalan food. Nothing fancy. Just down home cooking that you would expect from a little Guatemalan mother or grandmother slaving away at the stove top. Let me tell you how cheap this place is. A tamale, a plate with rice, black beans, and a short rib stew AND a Guatamalan popsicle came out to $6.75. I don't know how much each of the components cost because quite frankly ordering was such an ordeal that I couldn't bear to try to have another conversation with them. Don't get me wrong, they're really sweet people, but the communication barrier was really painful. Me: Uno tamale por favor. Him: Tamale. That's it? Me: Arroz, frijoles -- Him: No rice. No rice in tamale. No beans in tamale. Only chicken. Me: Yes. Uno tamale AND arroz, frijoles -- Him: NO RICE! ONLY CHICKEN! This continues ad naseum until one of the customers with slightly better English figured out that the little Asian girl wanted more food and not a different kind of tamale. The Guatemalan tamale is a wet tamale cooked in plantain leaves and boiled (Mexican tamales are cooked in corn husks and steamed). It's not a style that I particularly like because it's too wet more me. The masa is too mushy and falls apart. The plate of fluffy rice, black beans, and short rib stew was amazing. Really good. The short rib was succulent and tender from the long slow cooking process. I loved the big pieces of long beans and carrots. The carrots added a nice sweetness to the stew. A tad too salty, but terrific stick to your ribs comfort food. And considering how cheap it is (they gave me two large pieces of short ribs), I think it's cheaper to eat here than to cook! Especially since I was able to stretch this out to two meals. Yelpers, you guys need to get here because this is about as real as it gets. And for dessert, I had a Guatemalan paleta! Because it was a warm day, I chose to have watermelon because I wanted something refreshing. It was fresh, sweet, crisp and utterly delectable! It really tasted like a frozen watermelon. I could tell it was made from real fruit because I found little seeds in my paleta, which just added to the charm of this delightful popsicle. Fantastic food, incredible prices, and another popsicle for the popsicle throwdown!

The food portion size I would say can definitely be for 2 but I like to eat a lot so it was fine for me. As for the food I got the fried pork with white rice and beans with a salad on the side, the pork was really good crispy but tender as for the white rice and beans no one cooks it better than the Spanish folks! And that's a fucking fact! Anyways the side salad is good but they need to put that dressing on the side I don't like it already on my salad, I like to control how much dressing goes on my salad I take this very seriously! Period. The service was cool but no one really speak any English which is annoying but we get it done everytime none the less. The place is reasonably clean no issues there. I definitely would recommend this spot.

However, their empanadas need improvement and are always dried out and over cooked. The filling does not taste as fresh as it should be at times as well. The table setting is nice and this business does well because the servers know how to turn over tables quick. I will keep coming back here because there is not much better in the area. Overall, it's worth checking out if you are in the vicinity and in desperate need of a home cooked style meal.
