Ahhhhh, La Boca

For some unexplained reason, we hadn't been to La Boca in a year or two, although we used to go there quite a lot. So this past weekend my wife and I decided to take another couple there for their first time.

The place is even better than I remember it.

We all tried the tasting menu and it's great bargain at $45 a person.

Bruschetta with smoked drum and sweet onion - really tasty

Combination of chorizo and empanada. - great, especially their chorizo. damned good stuff.

La Boca gnocchi - very rich, but good. one piece is enough

Salad - fresh, interesting but good dressing

THEN, your choice of your steak. They actually give you seven choices in addition to whatever special cuts are available that evening. We went hangar, ribeye, bone in filet (go figure) and I can' remember the other.

All of the meat came out cooked as ordered and was absolutely terrific. Maybe my favorite steak in town.

Plus they came with mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus and french fries. We threw in some grilled brussell sprouts as well.

And then a dessert sampler.

I am definitely not going to wait as long for a return visit.
