This review is just for the burrito because that's all I've had…read more The tortilla is top-notch. Honestly, it's probably the best burrito tortilla I've had from any Mexican spot in Arizona. The problem is the meat. The meat is just average. If they upgraded the meat, this might be the best burrito in Arizona. That's how good the tortilla is. But because the meat doesn't match the tortilla, it ends up being just a really solid burrito instead of an amazing one. I haven't tried anything else on the menu, so I can't speak on the rest of the food. But if we're talking burritos... Best tortilla I've had. Average meat. Good overall, but it leaves you thinking about what it could've been.

I tried the carne asada street taco (very small, but good), along with the shrimp ceviche tostada. Everything was great. We will be back!

During our previous visit, we experienced several issues, including food being served at different times, soup arriving with the main course instead of beforehand, and being given an incorrect receipt. I spoke with the owner after that visit and was promised that our next meal would be comped as an opportunity to give the restaurant another chance. We returned with friends, hoping for a much better experience, but unfortunately, the service was still subpar. The service lacked friendliness and engagement, which made the overall dining experience less enjoyable than it should have been. For the price of the meal, you would expect a much higher level of service, attentiveness, and hospitality. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. It's disappointing when you give a restaurant another chance in good faith, only to leave feeling that the experience still falls short of expectations. I believe every restaurant deserves an opportunity to make things right, but consistency, quality service, and making guests feel welcome are essential, especially at this price point. Unfortunately, this visit did not leave us feeling confident about returning.

The elote was equally satisfying, perfectly cooked and generously seasoned. My husband opted for the birria taco and made quick work of both the taco and its accompanying consommé. Service was warm, attentive, and impressively efficient. We spent around $42 for three tacos, a side, and a drink, which felt reasonable for the quality. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the Mexi-Q Twinkies, but I suppose that's as good an excuse as any to come back!

I absolutely love Boca! They consistently go above and beyond to deliver excellent food and service. Whenever I order, I can be certain my order will be accurate. Their horchata is fantastic, especially the Pumpkin Spice variety in the fall. I also adore their salsas, particularly the sweet green salsa, which is superb. I highly recommend checking them out--I've never had anything from their menu that I didn't enjoy. read more

I of course jumped on Yelp. Haven't been disappointed yet. Let get into it. It was a little bit of a drive from my home base in E Mesa, but not terrible. Traffic was kind and the weather was nice. The place looks pretty new. Had a nice outdoor seating area. I walked in and was surprised. It is modern and super clean. Walking up to the counter I was greeted by a young lady right away. I did not get her name, but super polite. I ordered the shrimp burrito and took my seat. They have a huge LED menu board. I will be back to eat my way through it. They have a good little salsa bar set up. The onions and serrano peppers were great as was the green salsa. Now the burrito comes. Great size and super packed with shrimp and rice. Note to self... Is is hot! Not spicy hot but hot hot. After melting the roof of my mouth, I got smart and waited a few minutes. Once I was able to feel my mouth again, the carnage began. I am telling you, I tore it up! I noticed that there was good sized shrimp all the way through. It wasn't those all rice and 6 shrimp you get at the other places. I had shrimp to the last bite. Spice level was good but needed a little more kick. So to sum it all up. It was great. I already have plans for next week. I think I will be craving tacos!

While the exact birthplace is disputed between the West Coast (such as the Seattle World's Fair in 1962) and the East Coast (with print advertisements in Massachusetts by 1966), it quickly became a mid-century steakhouse staple. Got the Cali Surfin' Fries (Carne asada, shrimp, pico, chipotle sauce, guacamole, and cotija cheese) to share and it was delicious. They give you a generous portion of some delicious carne asada with some shrimp. It's great for when you want a salty snack without feeling too bogged down. That said, they have other great offerings here. I would probably skip on their fries and go for a carne asada burrito here. All in all, solid spot. You can't go wrong with Señor Taco.

She told me they were on the other tray which they were. But the moment I turned around to head towards our table, I overhear her talking trash about us that that "stupid people never look hard enough and they're always getting mad at me" in Spanish. I speak Spanish, I'm Mexican and heard every word clear as day. I didn't confront her about it because again, whatever we are not like that. 3. After dining in a bit, we ask for to-go boxes and a bag. She quickly grabs two boxes and leaves to do her thing. Normally I wouldn't care about this, but at this point I'm already upset with the service. Everyone else that came in during our stay was treated politely. Someone else asked for horchata and they got horchata. Someone else asked for to go and the got a bag. I'm married to a white girl, everyone else that came in during our stay was white as well.
