Para Maria
About
Para Maria is a Latin-inspired restaurant in the center of Boston’s Seaport, serving elevated comfort food with global flair from chef Tatiana Rosana. The menu mixes the familiar and unexpected, with New England lobster rolls alongside sweet shrimp ceviche, kimchi hot dogs and guacamole. A busy patio fills at sunset with diners sharing frozen margaritas, grilled and smoked meats and vegetables, and paletas, making it a lively spot for date night or a group outing.
The restaurant is named for Rosana’s grandmother, Maria. A first-generation American, Rosana grew up in Miami in a traditional Cuban family where food was always at the center. Her cooking draws on that Cuban background, her wife’s Korean heritage, French training and years in New England. She has competed on Food Network’s Beat Bobby Flay and Chopped, and she also appears as a chef expert on Bar Rescue.
