Punta Italia Deli (Boca Chica)

18° 27.2′ N · 69° 36.3′ W · approximate

A well-stocked Italian delicatessen just off Boca Chica's park, legacy of the town's large Italian community: cheeses, salumi and pasta for the galley.

Practical

Position approx: half a block east of Boca Chica's central park in a small mall, per the Virgintino guide (~2015); verify it is still open. The guide also places Banco Popular ATMs at the SW corner of the park and a small supermarket for canned and packaged goods on the SE corner. For a big shop, the modern Olé supermarket a few miles west takes cards and drives you back free (guide). Walk the beach path between Andrés and Boca Chica only in daylight.
