Thrillist Boston
Tuesday November 3, 2009

Conga Bar and Restaurant

1 Eliot St, at Winthrop; Harvard Square; 617.868.8882

They say if at first you don't succeed, try, try again --
but you can't always take real world advice from a
Successories poster. Unless you're Conga, opening tomorrow
at 6pm.

Having scrapped their original Shabu Square joint after nary
a year, the people behind SS are back again (in the same
space) with Conga, a lunch/dinner cantina featuring a
"scrumptious Latin experience" through combination raw bar,
eclectic tapas, and traditional South American entrees in a
90-seat space equipped with conga (!!) drums, autographed
guitars, cymbals, and framed pics of famous Latin performers
like Celia Cruz and Molotov -- they're just daring you to
throw something on stage. Do it! The menu of 20+ small
plates include Saltenas (two baked empanadas packed w/ a
stewy broth of chicken and peas), Albondigas de Salmon
(salmon balls doused in caper sauce), pan grilled shrimp
Cambas a la Plancha; and pork sausage mixed w/ figs known as
Butifarras con Brevas -- named for infamous Peruvian
philanderer, Joey Butifarras. For portions w/ more machismo,
CBR serves up a classic Spanish chicken and sausage paella;
Mofongo con Camarones (sauce-smothered fried mashed
plantains cooked w/ spices and prawns); and a grilled
Argentine skirt steak, which would look a lot better in long
pants, but no one had the heart to tell it.

For those inclined to play it safe there are
more-recognizable eats like a classic burger, BBQ spareribs,
and a traditional Cuban sandwich, as well as a select list
of wines (Yalumba Shiraz, Munoz Tempranillo) and 18
draught/bottled beers (Alhambra, Estralla Damm, and Negra
Modelo) to complement the grub, because -- like the poster
says -- if at first you don't get sauced, there're like 17
other beers.

Feel your hips start to move uncontrollably as you read the
menu at CongaRestaurant.com:
