La Boca

Experience our little corner of Argentina at La Boca, the city’s top Zagat cuisine rated steakhouse. Here, the finest cuts of beef are served simply and traditionally. House made specialties include pastas, Chorizo de la Casa, crisp salads, standout French fries, and memorable desserts. An Argentine wine list complements your dinner and the Pisco Sour is a great beginning. My partners and I opened La Boca’s doors on Fulton Street in 2006. We were thankful that the restaurant was an immediate hit with both locals and critics. After eight years of growth and success within the exposed bricks and beams of that rustic dining room, we made the move to our current location on Tchoupitoulas Street, affording us the room to accommodate our growing clientele of loyal guests and out of town visitors.
