Food Review: La Qchara, Beverly, MA 🥄

Translating to “The Spoon,” La Qchara’s menu is a vibrant celebration of tradition and culinary passion, perfectly situated at 275 Cabot St in Beverly.

Drinks 🍹: The evening began on a high note with a selection of drinks that could rival any festive occasion. The margarita, expertly crafted, was a highlight—perfectly balanced and packed with flavor. The mojito, sangria, and Aperol spritz were also well-received, each adding a unique twist to our drink choices.

Appetizers 🥔: The yucca balls were an immediate hit. Often overlooked, yucca was transformed into delightful, crispy bites that echoed the comforting essence of potatoes, deserving a 9/10. The queso dip followed suit with its indulgent cheesy goodness and flavorful meat—a solid 8/10.

Main Courses:

  • Quinoa Bowls 🥗: An absolute star of the evening, the quinoa bowl was adorned with mangoes and plantains, offering a refreshing twist to the nutritious base. Whether topped with chicken, salmon, or shrimp, this dish was a unanimous 10/10.
  • Arepas 🌽: These 100% homemade corn flour buns were a testament to freshness and quality. Filled with either shrimp and avocado or shredded beef and avocado, they were a joy to savor, scoring a well-deserved 9/10.
  • Enchiladas Mole 🌶️: The gluten-free chicken enchiladas draped in mole sauce were competent, though they lacked the depth typically expected of mole, landing at a 6/10.
  • Sizzling Fajitas 🔥: A vibrant and interactive dish, the fajitas (available in various proteins) came alive with mango accents. While delicious, they required prompt attention to prevent the chicken from overcooking, rated 8/10.

Dessert 🍫: No Mexican dining experience could conclude without churros, served here with chocolate sauce. Though slightly overdone, they still managed to provide a sweet, satisfying end to our meal, rated at 6/10.

Overall Impressions 🌟: La Qchara in my book gets an overall food rating of 8/10, ambiance at 6/10, and affordability at 8/10, it’s a beacon of quality and authenticity in the North Shore dining scene. A return visit isn’t just an option; it’s a necessity for anyone craving genuine and spirited flavors.
