    A couple of friends and I accidentally stumbled upon this lovely food truck park on Jesse st. We decided to try Boca because it looked sleek and stylish, and Spanish food sounded pretty bougie good. The menu is a bit hard to read, but the chef recommended the bucadillas so we all took turns getting different ones. Basically the bucadillas are small baguettes filled with some veggie, whatever meat that particular item comes with, and an awesome creamy sauce (similar to an aoli). The wait for food was about 15 minutes or so (with no one in the park so expect something longer otherwise) but the orders are made fresh before your eyes. The couple who owns the truck seem really nice and genuine. I really enjoyed my food here, I thought the flavors were great. There's a certain something about the combination of the creamy aoli, the fresh veggies, and the just right amount of spices that make this pretty magical. My only complaint is that the portions are quite small. Most of the bucadilla ended up being the bread and my "salad version" was measly. I think once this place gets more traffic everything will work out to hit an optimal equilibrium. I don't see myself craving this necessarily but it was a worthy eat. Definitely come check it out for yourselves.

    First off, FREE sangria on Saturdays (I forget the exact timing but something like 3pm - 9pm). That's what automatically sold us to come here while on a walk around the neighborhood. We went home, changed, and came right back to get on that deal. We had already eaten, so my friend and I split the El Pollito panini. We then sipped our sangria as we patiently waited for our sandwich. EL POLLITO - Pressed panini perfection. The bread was thin enough that it didn't overpower the sandwich, which I really appreciated. Good amount of rosemary chicken and mozzarella, and the spice or the aioli was perfect. It was around $9 which is fairly steep, but factor in the free sangria and it's a banging deal SANGRIA - you can keep going back for more as long as you want which is awesome. I didn't think it was very strong but my friend thought differently. No idea what is in it except for the fact it was a red wine variation and I tasted some cinnamon This place is great, and this food truck park is great. It is hidden and tucked away so I'm glad I found it! Perfect place to come on a casual Saturday night to kick back, relax, have a good sandwich, and drink some free sangria.

    I love the breakfast taco culture of Austin, and Boca brings something special & unique to the table. Their Spanish take on traditional favorites light up my tongue & put a smile on my face damn near every time. Definitely try the Spanish Chorizo & their pulled pork. And to top it off, the people inside this food truck are always super friendly & fun to talk to. Plus they all seem to have that irresistibly exotic Euro beauty. And fast service. And free sangria on Sundays. Yep, Boca is a winner :)

    Went to an event at South Austin Brewery and luckily had the opportunity to try the food at this truck. The pulled pork pressed sandwich was lovely! It had the slightest hint of cinnamon that the honey grilled onions really complemented. I'd give it 5 stars but $12 for a sandwich seems a bit steep.

    Wow ! This place is just awesome . The food has this really unique seasoning that just makes your taste buds happy . The price is so reasonable and the atmosphere is calm and inviting . The owners were so nice and had a great sense of humor .. Loved everything about this place . And... Sunday is free sangria which was the best sangria I have had .

    We stopped here randomly for some brunch and are so glad we did! The whole little food truck lot was so cute! The food at BOCA was delicious. I suggest the Chorizo taco, and Pollito sandwich. It is a must try!

    Pretty mediocre food, not very good. Very overpriced. Ten dollars for two little bitty tacos. Not worth it, not coming back to this one.

This tastes like it came straight out of someone's granny's kitchen in SPAIN. D E L I C I O U S. The menu isn't all vegan, but they've done an incredible job offering both traditional and vegan versions without losing any soul. Am I in heaven? Yes. The owner makes it a point to connect with customers, which was refreshing. You can tell this is passion-driven. You order via QR code at your table, then pick up out back when it's ready--easy. Everything is prepped daily in a Commercial kitchen and finished on the truck, and he proudly shared that the ingredients, spices, even the meats are sourced from Spain. Vegan paella? Incredible. Patatas bravas with vegan aioli? My personal favorite, sooo good. My husband loved the jamón serrano sandwich. And whatever you do, don't skip the sourdough rye with tomato spread. They also mix in a few Belgian items to match the bar, which adds to the whole European vibe.

We would definitely go back! Thank you for keeping this Spanish food authentic.

Made a reservation and was seated at the bar since I was dining solo. I was totally fine with that, I actually enjoyed chatting with the bartender.

I Ordered Sourdough Bread with Special Butter & Smoked Pear Honey. This was a nice way to start the meal. Bread crust was crunchy and paired well with the special butter and smoked pear honey. Pappardelle (Smoked Wagyu Short Rib, Crème Fraîche, TX Olive Oil) was really good. The beef was tender, and the pasta was flavorful. Definitely my favorite dish. Ruby Rind Cocktail ( Strawberry Top Aperol, Watermelon Honey, Pickled Watermelon), the bartender made a different drink for me, he realized the mistake and remade it for me, so I ended up with two drinks. I like the ruby Rind, it's refreshing with the watermelon flavor. 'Cacio e Pepe' (Blue Beard Durum Spaghetti, Challerhocker, Black Pepper). The person sitting next to me kindly let me try some of theirs. Glad I got to taste it before ordering because I found it quite bland. It wasn't for me.

Valet parking is great. Be aware of what time valet closes though. Between the valet and the waitstaff you are well taken care of here. My only complaint was seating The first visit we were seated upstairs. It was exactly what I expected. The second time they tried to seat us at the end of a serving bar in front of the kitchen. I politely explained to the hostess that we specifically requested a table for our reservation (we waited 1.5 months for). She stated they considered the seats at the end of the serving bar in front of the kitchen " standard seating". She did relocate us to a table immediately. My advice is maybe use that seating for walk ins like you do for seating at the bar (alcohol bar). Maybe read your customers a little better. I did not want to have dinner out with my wife sitting with the bathrooms 6' to my left, waitstaff preparing plates 4' to my right and the kitchen right on the other side of the bar. We were prepared to just leave and go somewhere else if no other seating had been available. I want to say again. The hostess relocated us immediately so thank you for that. This is not a complaint about an employee at all. Over all it was a nice dinner out both visits.
