Bokaguá, Riverdale: Dominican-Asian Plates and $20 Cocktails
Bokaguá, at 3541 Riverdale Ave, doesn’t run a happy hour right now; its specials page says the specials are being updated. It’s a Dominican and Asian fusion restaurant with a cocktail list to match.
The verdict: a night out, not a cheap round. Signature cocktails are $18 to $20 (the Limonada Coco with mamajuana is $20), and plates run from $16 coconut cod croquetas to $33 crispy octopus. Mofongo dumplings with pork belly are $18, Korean fried chicken wings with a Dominican rum glaze $17. The catch: tables are timed, 90 minutes for parties up to five.
What to Expect
- Small plates: lemongrass shrimp dumplings $21, Caribbean oxtail samosas $22, yellowtail crudo $24
- Drinks: signature cocktails $18–$20, wine by the glass from $13
