Bocaditos Bistro & Espresso Bar is the newest member of the very well established and popular restaurant family in Inwood, other members being The Mamasushi and Mamajuana Cafe. A bakery in the front with European flair and decor, and a bi-level dining room in the back serving Tapas combining Mediterranean and Asian cuisine.

Owner Susana Osorio is warm and friendly and the vibe is of a quaint family style eatery and lounge with a varied wine list and a cocktail menu comprised of champagne and Sangria cocktails.

Favorite dishes included the Rose Soy Paper Wrapped Salmon stuffed with crabmeat in a thai curry sauce, Short Rib Fettucini, Miso Glazed Japanese Eggplant, and the Stout Braised Short Rib Empanadas. We topped dinner off with The Red Velvet Tres Leche cake with lychee cream and strawberry spheres, a must try.
