If you’re looking for the ultimate Latin Fusion experience, look no further than Boca Restaurant Lounge in the Bronx. This spot is pushing boundaries with incredible flavors and creative dishes that will keep you coming back for more.
Mofongo Like You’ve Never Seen
Boca takes their mofongo seriously. They fry up fresh plantains, mash them with garlic, butter, and spices, and then take it a step further by forming them into cups and deep-frying them again for that perfect crunch.
Their Steak Mofonguitos are topped with sizzled, seasoned skirt steak and a savory steak glaze. For the ultimate comfort dish, try the Pork Belly Mofongo, which features crispy pork belly both mixed in and piled high on top, all finished with a rich mofongo gravy.
The “Plátano Power Pizza”
One of the most unique items on the menu is the Plátano Power Pizza. Instead of traditional dough, they use a base of thinly sliced fried plantains and tomato sauce. It’s loaded with mozzarella, Parmesan, crispy fried cheese, and fried salami, then sliced like a pizza and finished with a drizzle of mayo-ketchup. It’s a literal “plantain party” that you won’t find anywhere else.
Fusion Favorites
Boca’s menu is deep, featuring everything from a Burger Stack with both a large and small patty, bacon, and plenty of cheese, to a T-Bone Steak glazed with tamarind and au jus, and even flambéed with Fireball whiskey for an extra kick.
For seafood lovers, their Fried Red Snapper is stuffed with mofongo and Creole sauce seafood, while the Lobster Thermidor is a decadent masterpiece featuring sautéed lobster in a creamy sauce, topped with melted mozzarella and served with potato au gratin.
