    Bocaza Mexican Grill is a great choice for Mexican Food. I came in to get street tacos, and ended up with the chicken enchiladas. I'm glad I did. They were delicious. Two choices in rice and your choice of three kinds of beans (refried, pinto or black) along with 3-4 sauces, varying in spiciness. Place is no frills. You order at the counter from pictures on the wall, sit at tables and chairs and enjoy a good meal. Horchata was alright, allthough it seemed a bit watered down - maybe I put too much ice in cup. Breakfast, lunch and dinner served. Prices affordable.

    When in this part of Aurora, you look for some delicious Mexican food. I came here by recommendation and I was so excited! I ordered the Mexican city taco order. You get 4 tacos for $7.50 . Yes, that's right $7.50. You can choose from chicken,steak,carnitas and Barbacoa. I got 2 carnitas, 1 Barbacoa and 1 steak. Then pick out your salsas and they'll give you limes with onion and cilantro on top. Their Carnitas was AMAZING. So tender, so juicy, I would recommend that over the rest. I also saw they had freshly made menudo ,which I wasn't able to order because the portion is massive. The workers here are SO sweet and nice, they all were so patient and pleasant with everyone's order. This was a great lunch stop, and I'll definitely come back to try out their breakfast. I heard it's even better.

    Not sure which came first, this place or Chipotle but they do it authentic and right here!! More variety with meats, actually well marinated, other fresh ingredients to add or subtract down the assembly line. Everything is under $9 too. Amazing. Five stars and more.

    Two words- SO YUMMY! I found this location using Yelp. Ordered a combination burrito. So flavorful and so much food. Taco salad was yummy. I also ordered chips and salsa. The chips were still warm in the bag so I knew they were fresh. The salsa wasn't chilled like most salsa but it was really yummy. The only thing missing was a margarita. I cannot wait to introduce my friends to this restaurant!!!

    Well hidden in the back of a small, busy shopping center that has 2 other Mexican eateries. I pulled up around 9:30a, but decided to check out the reviews of the other 2 places. I quickly noticed the revolving door of customers coming in & out, as busy as any Starbucks! I hustled inside to a line about 9 deep with many others eating or waiting at small tables. The place is clean, bright, with clear poster menus & pics. The order process is exactly like Chipotle/Qdoba: you order each item & it's assembled down the line in front of you. All the prices were very reasonable, but the standard breakfast burritos were under $5 for choice of meat, potato/egg mix, green chile, cheese, & fresh avocado (optional)! I was so impressed by the service, food, & prices, I ended up ordering 2 different breakfast burritos & street tacos too (the burritos were very good, the street tacos were ok). Exceptionally friendly service, wide variety of choices (can't wait to try the Baja style tilapia fish tacos & pozole), reasonable prices, and fresh/tasty food!

We ordered the guacamole, burrita de frijoles puercos, scallops, hamachi tostada, tuna ceviche, chilaquiles de borrego, enmolada de pato, and pancita pibil, and genuinely everything was a 10/10. The scallops and ceviche completely stole the show. The scallops were perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth, and the serrano ponzu with the tomato butter added this incredible balance of brightness and richness. The ceviche was one of those dishes where every bite makes you stop for a second to reflect. They used super fresh tuna with the charred avocado and coconut broth giving it so much depth while still feeling really light and refreshing. The hamachi tostada was another standout with the habanero mayo and orange bringing the perfect amount of citrus and heat, and the pancita pibil was unbelievably flavorful. The black bean purée underneath honestly deserves its own mention because it tied the entire dish together being so smooth and rich against the acidity of the pickled onions. Service was also flawless from start to finish. Attentive without hovering, great pacing between dishes, and everyone made the experience feel warm and welcoming despite every table being filled. This place fully lives up to the hype and is absolutely worth planning ahead for.

Looking at taco places, I went with something close by to our location and found this hidden gem. Nestled away on a small street corner of Clay Street and 32nd Ave. parking can be scarce, but I'm sure with the right time and a little bit of walking you will find and manage your way here. Outside the restaurant, they have a small seating area which now is winter too cold to enjoy, but I'm sure in the spring and summer and fall time is super enjoyable.

We already looked at the photos online and knew we want tacos so opted with the chicken tacos and Carne Asada taco plates. The tacos place option came with 5 tacos with up to 2 choices of meats the ratio would be 2:3 .. freshly mashed guacamole made in front of you or freshly sliced avocado.. In the pictures I listed you will find each chicken and Carne Asada options. Both slow pictures missing two tacos because we devoured them as soon as we got into the truck. Their street tacos are heavenly! Chicken option was all chicken breast super juicy grilled to perfection five tacos on a plate another two tacos missing because my husband and I devoured it. This plate came we asked it with the guacamole option instead of fresh avocado. The carne asada was just FULL of flavor and the fresh avocado slices with green tomatillo salsa SLAPPED.. the tortillas are super soft and tears from how fresh the flour tortillas were!!
