La Boca Restaurant is one of our 2012
| Top 10 New Orleans Steakhouse Restaurants
|
| Chef Adolfo García has slowly and methodically developed his restaurant group in New Orleans. At nearby seafood-centric restaurant Río Mar, García mixes traditional Spanish tapas with a free-ranging exploration of Latin American flavors. At his A Mano, García cooks up central and Southern Italian favorites. At La Boca, starters include blood sausage (morcilla), thick slices of grilled provolone sprinkled with oregano, and empanadas stuffed with ground beef, olives and raisins. Vegetarians and fish fans might have trouble organizing a meal here. But not carnivores, as they could start by sharing a “Gaucho Plate” to get a handle on the appetizers, including a taste of the mollejas (sweetbreads). The steaks, seasoned only with salt and pepper, are served with three types of chimichurri sauce. The small, smartly annotated wine list exclusively features bottles from Italy and Argentina. With almost every bottle available as a half carafe and its reasonably priced steaks, La Boca is a rare steakhouse that won’t empty your wallet as it amply fills your tummy. |
