La Boca 857 Fulton Street
La Boca is a traditional Argentinean steakhouse smartly tucked into the hip Warehouse District of New Orleans at 857 Fulton Street. Quaint and dimly lit, the restaurant has a simple and rustic feel to it. Don't let the modest decor fool you - this eatery is serving up some of the best steak in the city.
The menu is predominantly beef, with a few specialty pasta dishes as well. Start off with one of the Argentine-style appetizers such as the meat empanadas or grilled chorizo. The main dishes of Vacio flank steak and the Centro de Entrana hanger steak are menu standouts, being served alongside a trio of tasty Argentinean sauces. Oftentimes the special of the evening is the Flap Steak. If this happens to be the case when you are dining at La Boca, do order. This less popular cut of beef is similar to skirt or flank steak. It has lovely texture and is oh so delicious. All steaks are cooked precisely to your specification, and lightly seasoned so as to not distract from the natural flavors of the beef. If beef isn't your thing, try the hand-made Noqui La Boca with English peas and pancetta. It is undoubtedly the best gnocchi in the region. Side orders of potatoes and grilled asparagus are great accompaniments and come family style. If you're having trouble choosing just one dish, try the Chef's tasting menu. For $45, you'll feast on the best the kitchen has to offer. Adding to the whole experience, the charming maitre de will stop by your table just as your steak arrives, with a wooden chest full of steak knives in various sizes, shapes and colors for you to choose your perfect accessory.
La Boca is a laid-back spot, ideal for the fan of a simple savory steak. Take visiting out-of-towners for something a bit different from the everyday fare associated with New Orleans. La Boca serves dinner Monday through Saturday. Tables fill up fast and folks tend to linger long after the last bite, so make a reservation to ensure you get a spot at this tasty Argentinean eatery.
