Mariachi Magic
Boca Chica lures Mexican food fanatics with tapas and tequila-fueled fiesta
To celebrate its grand opening at the Shops at Park Lane, Boca Chica welcomed 150 sassy and smartly dressed patrons for a fiesta fueled by tapas and tequila.
Mexican food fans indulged in all manner of tacos (barbacoa, al pastor), quesadilla queso, crab guacamole, and sopes de pollo con mole. For something sweet, they dipped into churros with cajeta and tequila-chocolate anglaise, and sopa de mango with coconut foam and mint.
Just as the tequila shots and Texas smoked margaritas started to kick in, a surprise mariachi band showed up to serenade satisfied guests Debby and Bill Allbright, Gay Donnell, Alex Hines, Lynn McBee, Sarah Grayden, Michelle Wynne, Kelly Baughery, Judah Lambert, Erwin Aulis and Lori Hacker.
Boca Chica parent company Restaurants America has been busy. The group also has Mockingbird Taproom, Park Tavern and Primebar.
