A local couple are opening a Nicaraguan street-food restaurant in Bushwick today.
Chicha Cafetín and Cocktails, which is in an old warehouse garage at 198 Randolph St., brings an extensive menu of Nicaraguan street eats and a rum-focused bar to the neighborhood dining scene.
Some of the interesting things are the Surfer On Acid cocktail, which has three different rums in it, and Salpicon Rilletes, short rib with smoked coconut and pickled baby vegetables. The menu is meaty, but Chicha’s extensive fish selection — including the Quesillo with lobster on a squid-ink tortilla — should at least satisfy the pescatarians among us.
