    Chips, guac and a hand
    Kent S.

    Stopped at the Mequon Public Market on a whim and stumbled upon Boca Rica. The owner, who doubled as the bartender today was welcoming and attentive. We ordered 2 cocktails and some chips and guac to start. They were served up quick and were delicious. The highlight of the margarita was the black salted rim. Incredibly tasty. We followed up drinks and the apps with the steak and carnita tacos. The highlight was the blue corn tortillas that paired perfectly with the flavors of steak and pork. All the flavors were well balanced with the smokiness of the toasted tortillas. The owner talked about some new menu updates in a few weeks. We'll be back to give those a try for sure.

    I haven't eaten here so I can't speak to the food but the cocktails are great and the service is always friendly! The car itself is very cool with tiki bar vibes and in a great spot inside the Public Market. I love the

    Fried chicken taco on the left. Mahi mahi taco on the right.

    I came here on a recommendation to try the tacos. I went up to place my order and sit down to have a drink while I waited for my food but I was told I had to go down to the end of the bar to pay right away if I was ordering Togo. I didn't mind but it was kinda off putting when I had full intentions to have a beverage while I waited for my to go order. Instead I paid for my food right away and just walked around. I'm sure food is good and can't wait to try it but service could be improved. Is this going to stop me from coming again ... no it's not. But now I know if I want to have a margarita to be willing to eat my food there and not take it to go.

    Stopped in to kill time during soccer practice. Good food and friendly staff. Would give is all stars but tacos should really come with a side and more chips for the price they charge.

    Customer Service needs to be worked on during " the lunch rush" Only spoke to the one sever during the order process at the beginning and at the end when it came time to pay for my bill. This particular server didn't seem very friendly at all. Ordered 3 different soft tacos and it tasted awesome all around. For a taco Tuesday, it was rather slow.

    We happen to be in Mequon on Taco Tuesday and Yelped what might be good nearby for Mexican. Boca Rica in the Mequon Market at 6300 Mequon Road was nearby and had been given excellent reviews. It shares the building with several dining venues. If not in the mood for tacos there are also falafel, Italian, sushi, ice cream and microbrew options in the space. It reminded me a bit of Public Market in MKE and North Market in Columbus Ohio but on a smaller scale. They only had a bar counter as a serving area and the barstools were a bit high for one of us, so the waiter placed our order as a takeout and we sat at a communal table in the common area. The seating was a downside to Boca Rica, it had only been in business 8 weeks and I predict it will be quite popular and could use more space! All the menu was alacarte and we ordered three tacos, (shrimp, pork pastor and carnitas), with sides of beans, chips and guacamole and topped it off with a couple house margaritas. The tacos were all flavorful with ample ingredients, came with lime wedges and served in soft blue corn tortillas. The guacamole was garnished with diced jalapeño and radish slices and the chips were warm, crisp and perfectly salted. The margaritas were standard fare for a house blend. Prices ranged from $4.25-6.50 for the tacos, $3.00 for a side of beans, $9 for guacamole and chips and $9 for drinks. Though the food was good, the lack of a tortilla option (flour vs corn), the high seating and the slightly high price ($51.15 for lunch). All said, it's worth a try if in the area.

    I love coming to the Mequon Public Market, the atmosphere is 'cool' and trendy. Boca Rica really adds to the experience. They don't have tables for dining but instead you sit at the bar for drinks and food. I got a beer from Puerto Rico and my husband got a Mezcal Negroni. Both were good- Negroni not for the weak. Food was good, especially the hike made tortillas. I liked the Yucatan fries and two different salsas our chips came with. Would go again!

    Tasty tacos. Though tortillas fall apart, not very pickup-able. They were good but a bit messy because they fell apart.

    Tacos were good, and the Paloma's were fantastic. Our server Aliza was very friendly and answered all of our questions.

    I hadn't been here in a long time, in fact, I didn't even remember leaving a review back in 2018,…read morewhich was the last time I was here. It wasn't a great review. I've changed my tune a bit since my last visit. I will stand by my previous statement that this is not authentic Mexican cuisine. It's TexMex, which is fine. If you're looking for TexMex, this is a great option. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is probably not for you. I went with a couple people. One guy got the chimichanga which he said was very good. My other friend got the Mucho "The King" Burrito, which is half chicken and half steak. It's absolutely enormous, and is probably meant to be a sharable meal. However, my friend cleaned his plate and said it was delicious. I got the pork belly tacos, and they were excellent. The pickled onions and avocado cream sauce balanced out the richness of the pork belly. I definitely recommend these. Overall, it's the best TexMex in the area. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. Give the Highland House a try.

    We ordered the chips con salsa. The regular salsa wasn't my favorite, very tomato puree heavy which…read morereminded me of marinara. My friend thought it had some heat. The jalapeño ranch is definitely the one to get. Very unique option. We also tried the chips con queso, which had great flavor and the perfect consistency. I got the crispy tacos with added jalapeños and double beans. The taco shells were thin and crispy without falling apart, and the portion size is large. They told us it would be a 45 minute wait for two, when we asked if we could sit at the bar they shared there were high top tables available to seat yourself. We were in room off the bar and got to order and eat right away.

    Oh. My. Delicious!!! We are from out of town ; never been to the area before. We were staying in…read moreBrown Deer and I googled , " seafood near me ". This place was AMAZING!!!! Comfortable, clean, welcoming. From the hostess to our server to the food runners ; everyone was helpful and attentive. My son opted for the fried grouper cheeks for an appetizer, while my husband and I shared a bowl of lobster bisque . Delicious start! Our group ordered a fried grouper sandwich, a blackened grouper sandwich, and a blackened catfish po boy. Everyone agreed that it was an amazing meal. If I lived in the area we would definitely return! Best fish sandwich I have ever had.

    I came back to St Paul in Mequon recently (2026) on a Saturday for lunch with a couple of friends…read more Very busy and active place - lots of seating inside with a casual and comfortable vibe. Our server was attentive. I ordered the blackened salmon sandwich; one friend ordered the grouper cheeks tacos, and another friend ordered the lobster bisque soup and cajun barbecue shrimp. Overall it was a tasty and filling sandwich; you can see the portion size from the photo. I ordered the fries as the side option - nothing to write home about those, but they were slightly crispy. My friend enjoyed her grouper cheek tacos but did not care at all for her fries, which were soft and soggier than mine and she ended up leaving them uneaten on her plate. Grouper cheeks (we asked about them) are the actual cheek portion of the grouper fish, which apparently is a large fish. My other friend enjoyed her lobster bisque and the shrimp appetizer. I dipped one french fry in the shrimp sauce and it was yummy. I'd return to try that appetizer. We had a lovely lunch and overall enjoyed the food.
