La Chiva Restaurant

La Chiva Restaurant is at 259 Bennington Street in East Boston. The Wix site calls it Colombian food, open every day from 7 a.m. to 3 a.m. The kitchen lists comidas típicas, fritura, buñuelos, empanadas, and chicharrón. Phone (617) 569-6200. Email is listed as info@lachivarestaurant.com. This is a late Bennington Street Colombian room: breakfast hours on one end of the clock, fried snacks and platters when much of Eastie has closed. The old copy called it generic Latin American energy. What they actually post is empanadas, buñuelos, pork skin, and typical plates, served until 3 a.m. Come for a fried snack or a full plate, and confirm today’s board at the counter.
