Boka Truck - Boka's carnitas, smoked beef, and fish - New American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

One of my neighbors worked it out so the Boka truck came to the neighborhood! I haven't had Boka before and can tell you I want to have it again! I got 4 different tacos. Overall, I enjoyed each one. I really like the tortillas, add a little chewy to the bite. Each taco had double tortilla so I was able to pick up and eat them without losing any of the fillings. 1. Pork Belly Taco: so good!!! Great flavor and loved the crunch of the fried shallots. 2. Pork American: my favorite of them all! The pork was moist and the sauce was fabulous!! Just a bit of heat and so much flavor. 3. Chicken Mexican: pretty good. I really really like the chipotle cream. The chicken wasn't as moist as the pork, but still good. 4. Beef Asian: spicy! The smell made my mouth water. The Asian flavor in this taco was so good! The people were friendly, but we limited interaction so I'm sure I didn't get the full experience. Ordered online and waited in car til text told me it was ready. I will definitely eat Boka again! read more

I love to try new food trucks, so when I was at Hardywood over the weekend and saw Boka I was all about it. Looking over the possibilities on the menu I asked owner Matt what he would choose if not overly hungry. He pointed out the brisket. So what not and put in my order and name. Price was fair, but cannot recall exact amount. The truck had a sweet built in business of craft beer enthusiast like myself. So there was always some sort of line when I was there. Around 10 minutes later it was order up. Visually it was not what I expected to see on a paper plate. It was flat and looked like a tortilla. I took it back to a table inside the new tap room to get another beer. I asked for some napkins which they did have behind the bar, funny that they were from "Mellow Mushroom". Since I would be eating with my hands, maybe they had a fork, I don't know but was not going back out. I rolled it up and the first taste knocked my socks off. Lots of great flavors going on and who cares if it was messy, not me. I heard from a regular that they had shrimp and grits today and that was a specialty they don't always carry. This person said that this truck rotates into Hardywood with some frequency and it is well received. I would love to find them again if in Richmond. Food trucks are here to stay and I for one will continue my quest to try as many as I can around the country. read more

When moving from Durham, I thought I would never find a food truck as awesome as KoKyu (Korean BBQ takos and sliders and more), but Boka is pretty dog-gone close. I have tried all of their offerings and have enjoyed each and every tako. I only wish I was a bit closer to their downtown space during the week. But now the Boka Katina has opened up near my home, I look forward to enjoying more Boka in the future. Now if we can just get Boka to do tater tots fried in duck fat and finished off with rosemary and sea salt (KoKyu special), I would be in heaven. read more

Boka Truck - The first signs of Spring... the food trucks come back out! And this one is worth following. - New American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Finally tried them today at an event. I liked the flavors of the tacos I got but the service wasn't good and the portions compared to price were pretty outrageous. $6 for a fish taco that was fish mince and $5 "beef Asian" taco. Very tiny portions, wasn't worth it. Other authentic taco places load up on meat and toppings as well as even sometimes second tortilla for a taco at a fraction of the cost. The food truck options at the event were only three choices... read more

Being a fan of street tacos as well as Boka Kantina's physical location, I was more stoked than a fire when I found out that one of the Boka trucks parks right outside the building I work. Win. --Food: I have been to the tako truck twice and the physical location at least a few times, and every time I've gotten the Gauntlet. The Gauntlet is essentially each of their main proteins (beef, chicken, and pork) in each of their respective styles (Asian, Mexican, and American). If you get them outside of the gauntlet, you can mix any protein with any style. They're not traditional tacos, but instead taco fusion, giving birth to their naming convention of "tako". Taken from my previous review, here are what each of them are: ___ Asian Style Bulgogi Beef Tako: Bulgogi beef served with kimchi (Korean cabbage), sesame aioli, and sesame seeds. It's a whole lot of asian flavors yet they work fairly well in taco form. When you eat it you might not know exactly what flavors you're experiencing, but it does capture the "Asian" palette. American Style Samabal Pork Tako: Seasoned pork with a smokey BBQ sauce, a sherry cole slaw, caramelized onions, and a six cheese blend. I'm not a huge cole slaw fan but it's not overwhelming. Additionally, I didn't get an overly cheesy taste either. What I did get was a delicious pork taco with a nice BBQ flavor and some small accompanying tastes that made for an all around awesome taco. Mexican Style Grilled Chicken Tako: Grilled chicken with a habanero lime vinaigrette, chipotle crema, and a cheese blend. The chipotle crema had a nice thick but not heavy consistency and was quite palatable. The habanero lime was a bit masked by it, but you could get a bit of it in certain bites. Having actual Mexican style taquerias around (Habanero's and La Cabana), it doesn't have that overly Mexican taste, but I'm not sure it's supposed to be straight up Mexican as this is a Fusion restaurant after all. ___ They have some specialty tacos that aren't the above, but I haven't tried them just because they're more expensive. I do want to try some of the ones like Shrimp and Grits and their seasonal meats. --Cost: $8 for the Gauntlet of 3 tacos. Their takos are very filled with meat and I never go hungry after eating three. --Service: The guys that run the truck seem like pretty chill people and I've never gotten any bad vibes from them before. Service speed is quick and I don't think I've had to wait more than 4 minutes or so for my takos. --Atmosphere: One of their trucks is parked at 9th and Main, which is right by where I work. They park up on the sidewalk. The area is currently under a lot of construction, but it's not their fault. On a side note, their official website lists where the different Boka Trucks will be at any given time, so check it out! --Overall: I really like the Boka Truck. For about as much money as Wendy's or Arby's, you can get some innovative and delicious takos. I suppose ultimately I still prefer meat, onion, and cilantro street tacos, but if the above flavor profiles sound tasty to you, stop on by! read more

Boka Truck - The Gauntlet! A sampling of each of the types of meats and styles. $8 and a delicious lunch! - New American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Food truck came to our neighborhood. It was suggested we ordered online which I did. I even received texts that said my order will be ready in minutes. As I waited at the truck people came up and ordered in person and proceeded to get their food before I did. I waited for 35 minutes after I received a text that it was done. No apology from the people working in the truck. And after all the waiting the food was cold and bland. My chicken tacos were missing the toppings. The beef taco only tasted like siracha. Very disappointed in the service and food! read more

The food truck came to my workplace today! The pork kimchi quesadilla was so good and really spicy! I loved the flavors! The fish taco was good but I didn't particularly like the corn tortilla Bc it didn't seem steamed or grilled but I could be wrong it sat a bit before we had time to eat! Either way the flavor profiles were very unique and would absolutely order from them again! read more

Friendly, fast service. I had "The Gauntlet" - 1 pork taco American style, 1 beef Asian style, 1 chicken Mexican style. The Asian style was definitely to spicy for me, the American style was my favorite. RVA has a great taco scene- and Boka is definitely up there! I definitely want to try more of their options, but if you want to try a variety- the Gauntlet is the way to go. read more

Boka Truck - Brisket, tuna, fish tacos - New American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Jack of All Trades Boka's Tako is a fusion food and as with all fusion foods, it runs the risk of being a jack of all trade and master of none. Food I ordered three takos (chicken, pork, beef) all Asian style (kimchi, sesame aioli). Once before, I'd tried their tacos and felt like their sauce does a lot of the heavy lifting. This time wasn't much different. I explicitly tasted the meats separately and found them to be nothing special or a little dry. The kimchi is cut up so small that you don't get the crunchy texture. That's not to say the takos don't taste good. They do. They just don't match the level of mastery exhibited by LA taco trucks. I'm making a distinction based on where the flavor comes from. There are tacos where the meat can stand on it's own and tacos that need a mayo based sauce to taste good. For comparison, LA taco. Look at how the meat glistens. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-chato-taco-truck-los-angeles-2?select=oCI39dG8JyT2LFhWNPRadg#yFxvWDSi_XpnD9oNIkOmVw vs. Boka Tako. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/boka-truck-richmond?select=j4D3OPSR13gbS588HujVLQ#uYsdZTZJo_cVPPHW9DIOnQ Value I'm used to tacos between $1 and $2.25. Boka is $4 and up. And yet, I'm very happy that Boka exists. It's introducing the concept to a lot of Richmonders. It's only been around for 3 years, and these things come with age.

I got the 3 taco deal with a Mexican tofu, an American chicken and a black bean. They all had double corn tortillas that held up well to all of the toppings and each taco had a unique blend of flavors that made each one delicious. I can't wait until they come back to my workplace again! read more

The Boka Truck was one of about seven food trucks today at the Whole Foods food truck gathering, but this was actually not my first time experiencing their pretty delicious TAKOS. I have had them about four or so times in the past year at random events and locations and don't recall a bad tasting experience; it is now time for yelp review! I have learned the hard way that many food trucks offer dishes/sides/entrees that are actually quite expensive... at least in my opinion. Boka gives you the option of ordering one taco for $3, 2 for $6 or 3 for $8 and you can pick from the Asian Kimchi, Traditional Chicken, BBQ, and a couple other options. What I think Boka does differently to distinguish themselves from other taco establishments is their ability to make fresh tasting Takos with unusual combinations. My favorite Tako is their kimchi taco. I cook and the spice on the Kimchi Tako is perfect and has the right amount of heat. If you're new to kimchi I suggest you try it by itself first (you can get it from TAN A) and develop a taste for it as it is an unusual texture and flavor. Today I had their pork belly Tako for the first time and it was pretty good. The pork belly was crispy and the white cheddar and asian slaw on top was very good as well. Reasons why it's not a 5 Star review: 1) Prices can be a bit more reasonable... 2) The portions can be tad bit bigger. Each Tako you get is about your average size. But by the time you finish eating it, you're still left wanting more. read more

I tried the Mexican style taco with chicken today for $4. It was pretty tasty. My only complaint would be it needed more sauce for the chicken since the chicken was a little dry. They did put a ton of meat on the taco to my surprise. I will be trying a different style next time. read more

Boka Truck - Mexican taco with chicken - New American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I was really excited to try the Boka truck because of the rave reviews that it received. However, I was disappointed by what they offered. I chose to do the 3 "Tako" combo with the fish, duck, and chicken. The fish taco was my favorite and the fish was cooked perfectly. I was disappointed with the other two tacos, however. The duck was really dry while the chicken had an odd consistency and I didn't think that the flavors didn't really mesh well. Perhaps it was a bad day for them? I did try them during the Richmond InLight exhibit which was quite late in the evening so that might have been a contributing factor. Overall, I think that they have a really cool fusion concept and though I wasn't really wowed by their food, I will give them another try in the future. Food: 2 Value: 2.5 Service: 3 Overall: 2.5 read more

Ran into this truck while at a Brewery. The options for this truck are pretty simple. You pick a protein (beef, chicken, tofu) - then select a style (asian, etc.). Fairly simple business model that gives you quite a few options. At first glance it can be a bit scary as the presentation is mediocre (menu scribble needs some work). But alas it had fairly decent reviews so it was definitely worth a shot (that and it was the ONLY option for food). I ordered two separate tacos - one was chicken and the other was tofu. Both we had in the asian "style". Length of time to wait wasn't too bad. The guy in the truck was very friendly and receptive to all questions, etc. Pricing was a bit to concern yourself over. One taco is $4.00 and two was $8.00. For a $4.00 taco I was expecting quite a bit. The tacos are generally served on a couple of paper plates (it is to-go). In my case, both tacos were on the same plate with one side of them being backed up to the other. However, one thing to note is that if someone is getting a vegetarian option, food contamination is a big issue. In my eyes, I could care less if the tofu comes to my food, but to my wife, with the blend of food so close, she was hesitant just in case the chicken spilled into hers. She took in meat one time by mistake and got rather sick. Wasn't a fan of that but when I brought the food to her, I parsed it out quickly. The taste of this is all carried by the sauce. It's like taking a piece of meat, cooking it, and then eating it with your favorite sauce. Sure the sauce is great, but the meat is just "there". I prefer it when the meat has some sort of juicy taste to it that blends well with the sauce. To top it off, because of the volume of dressing and toppings, they're forced into using two tortillas to prevent breakage, etc. However, the tortillas are corn tortillas. They over powered the overall taste of the taco. I'm not against this truck overall but those are a few things that could potentially be tweaked. Again, it was the only option that was available at the time and I'm not disappointed in the purchase but there is definitely room for some improvement.

For a very long time, this was the only truck you needed to know about in this city. It's still a solid go-to for great food and fast-moving lines at any festival you imagine in our fair city. They're so popular that they actually bring multiple food carts wherever they go. My personal favorites are the Mexican fish taco and the pork Korean taco. Yes, it does matter that the Korean taco be done with pork if you want to taste it at its best. The fish taco is the best I can possibly imagine. Fresh, not fried, light and bright flavor, awesome slaw, messy, but always a pleasant experience from start to finish. Any taco you choose is an expertly-blended flavor explosion. Even the tortillas are yummy--white corn, not in the least bit bitter, but slightly sweet and delicious. They remind me of Milagro's, but thinner, and it's either Milagro's or freshly handmade for me. Two tacos at 3 bucks a taco (or i think 5 for the fish one) makes for a winning way to cap off a great night at one of our many amazing local festivals. Get a variety and enjoy! When you're in line, be sure to check that you're in the order line, not the pickup one. The long lines can easily get entangled. read more

The Boka Truck was at our farmers market in Powhatan this past summer and I tried it for the first time. It was absolutely delicious!! SO GOOD!! I need to find out where they are! Fresh ingredients, double soft corn tortillas just the way it's supposed to be, very creative and quality menu items that you would normally find at at a restaurant. Find this food truck if you haven't already! read more

I am looking at the pics of tacos people are posting. I hardly had anything in my tacos. I could have fit all three into one and still looked like there wasn't much... Trucks have to realize we are supporting local but we need your support too. Lots of people are having a hard time financially and are sacrificing to support you...I am going to just do a pick up at a restaurant where i can get the correct portions read more

Wow. Amazing fish tacos. Great shrimp & grits tacos. Perfect compliment to the beer at the festival. Fresh, tasty, filling! I'd definitely get tacos here again. Fresh, fast, goI'd & reasonably priced. You cannot ask for more. read more

Great, flavorful tacos. Easy to use online ordering and frequent text updates. Look forward to dining from this truck again! Beef Asian: very flavorful, a bit spicy Pork American: just the right amount of meat and flavor.

I'm in love and I think this is forever. A lifetime love affair.... sorry bf, you're gonna have to share ;) I love tacos. And I mean LOVE tacos. But with Boka in my life, I also love takos. The mozzarella, the fish, and the Mexican with tofu, to be exact. Although I'm sure if I tried additional Boka offerings, I would be professing my love for them too. Why do I love these? 1. The fish tako combines a few of my favorite things - fish and watermelon. Delightfully flaky fish with small bites of watermelon, topped with a tangy sauce. Perfection. 2. The mozzarella tako, which I believe they actually call the marinated tomato tako, is exactly what it sounds like. Marinated mozzarella and tomato - something I never would have imagined on a taco, but amazing. Fresh and delicious. 3. The Mexican tako with tofu comes with cheese, habanero-lime cabbage, cilantro and chipotle crema. It's more of a classic taco, full of flavor with a hint of spice. I could probably eat Boka every day... and by probably I mean definitely. The takos are actually pretty filling, and I often have a hard time finishing even two. But I always try, after all my eyes and my heart are bigger than my stomach. read more

I stumped upon the Boka Truck at the Riverrock event on Brown's Island. The line leading up to the truck was very long. I patiently waited to taste their tacos. I chose the chicken and pork tacos. Both tacos were delicious. The tacos were flavorful. Boka Truck sauces complimented the meat very well. I could their tacos all day. If you see the Boka Truck, grabbing some tacos is a good choice. Keep in mind CASH ONLY! read more

I LOVE BOKA. Pork belly tacos. Fish tacos. Lamb sausage tacos. Every taco I've had is delicious. All I can really say is get over the line and price and just do it. It's worth it. Even after I left my job downtown, I found myself driving back down to get tacos from Boka with my old coworkers. read more

I visited Boka Truck today for lunch at the corner of Cary and 9th Street in downtown Richmond. They definitely know how to make a delicious fish taco! The fish tacos are very unique and have a bit of a sweet flavoring, combining tilapia with watermelon, a sweet soy sauce and a delicious crema. These were by far some of the best fish tacos I've eaten! My boyfriend got the chicken tacos Mexican style, which he really enjoyed, but he had total food envy over my delicious tacos! Next time I go back (which will be very soon!) I think I might try the tofu tacos Asian style (topped with kimchi and sesame aioli!). definitely recommend giving them a try - you won't be sorry! read more

I feel a bit weird giving four stars to a small portable shack mass-producing tacos, but the food generated by the two hardworking members of the cooking crew cramped inside the small box earned my respect. I didn't see the truck, but the small box from which these two guys worked at my wife's high school reunion party produced perhaps the best fusion-style tacos that I have ever had. This is saying a lot considering that my hometown is the heavily Latinized Los Angeles area. The sign said to pick your choice of meats and two styles from three choices. The choices were Asian, Mexican or American style, and the meat choices included Korean beef bulgogi, guajillo pork, and cilantro chicken. Not being one to follow instructions too well, I asked for one of each, and I trusted the chefs to choose the meats and to put together three tacos for me, one of each style. I honestly could not tell you which one I enjoyed most. They were all delicious. I should add that they even have tofu at the ready. My vegetarian wife really appreciated that, and she enjoyed four of them herself. I was told that their next concept will be a hamburger truck. I told him that if the burgers are as good as the tacos, it will be a huge success. Now I just hope that they can figure out a way to franchise both concepts so that they can eventually reach the West Coast. Hurry up on that please! read more

Boka Truck is a new venture from chef Patrick Harris. His truck travels around town (check the web site for an updated schedule) and sells "takos" and other fusion foods. He pulls from Latin and Asian flavors to create some unique dishes. The standard menu features "takos" made Asian-, Mexican- or American-style with your choice of Korean beef bulgogi, guajillo-pork, cilantro chicken or tofu. I like the Mexican-style tofu that comes with Chihuahua cheese, habanero-lime cabbage, cilantro and chipotle crema. My only complaint: the takos are made with corn tortillas and if you don't eat your meal quick enough, the shells start to break down. You'll also find the spicy noodle bowl with fresh vegetables and a lemon-ginger-coconut curry sauce. Chef Harris also always has a long list of daily specials. I've had the fish takos, an Asian-style pork tako topped with pickled papaya, and even a beef tongue tako. The pork was my favorite, but the other two were definitely worth a try. If you've got a lot of people interested in Boka Truck at your office, contact the owner and he might add a stop for you. Make sure you've got cash. He also offers catering and breakfast for special events. read more

Can't pass up the chance to rave about Boka Tako Truck. They stop by our office once every two weeks and I have never missed an opportunity to eat there. I've heard tons of rave reviews about their basic tako selections, but I never settle for those (though I have tasted the Asian one with the Kimchi and sesame seeds and it is DELICIOUS). I have frequently had their specialty takos. Among them, the pork belly, shrimp and grits, goat curry, short ribs, tomato with fresh mozzarella (one of my favorites), market fresh (stuffed with local veggies), coq a vin, duck confit (a must try!) and more. Every single one has had bold flavors, and is stuffed with local, fresh ingredients. Their creativity and flavor profiles are spot on. My only complaint would be that sometimes the portion and cooking is a bit inconsistent. i have gotten some great loaded up tacos before, and I have gotten some that are a little skimpy. for $6 - $10 a taco, they should be FULL of deliciousness. The guys that run the truck are clearly passionate about food and are pretty timely. Occasionally I have waited 15 minutes for tacos before, but... it's worth it to me. If you see the Boka trucks, don't pass up the chance to try some takos! read more

Reuben quesadilla, pork belly takos, duck confit takos...haven't had a bad meal yet. Do yourself a solid and order one of the specials, but if none of those tickle your fancy, the Korean tako is always a great standby. Don't mind the lines or the wait, it's worth it! read more

I went to the Boka Truck on the recommendation from my coworkers and I have to say, I walked away quite impressed with the food. It's a tiny little truck with one guy running the show. I got the gauntlet to get a taste of all three options. They have already designated a meat (beef, pork, chicken) to each of the different flavors (Asian, Mexican, American) respectively. Asian tako was good; mixture of spiciness and saltiness with some sesame seeds. American was my least favorite; too creamy and just didn't taste all that great. Finally, my favorite, the Mexican. It by far has the best flavor of the three and the pork definitely makes it amazing. I was still hungry after eating 3 so I went back for 1 more but the guy started to run out of materials. However, he was still able to scrap up a last Mexican one and gave it to me free of charge (whoo!). Great place, definitely would recommend it! read more

I rarely take the time to write 5 star reviews because most people have already said what I wanted to say. Boka is different, I'll take the time to repeat everything everyone else has said. Their takos are amazing. I'm from Texas and miss a lot of things, but my main thing is tacos. I can make my own breakfast taco, but a good beef/pork/chicken taco is hard to come by this far north. And then I read a little review on richmond.com about tacos in Richmond. I tried Nate's and found them just too greasy. So then I started following Boka on twitter to find a time when they were close to my office, it just so happened a few days later, they were nearby. I took the chance and went to the location. After surveilling them with a co-worker, we spotted the truck. We drove up and stood in line acting like we knew what the hell we were supposed to do. We ordered the takos and let the obsession begin. Weeks followed where I was ordering the takos at least 3 times a week. I can remember a week where I found them 5 DAYS. There are only 7 days in a week, so you do the math. I started introducing other co-workers to the tako truck. Slowly, but surely, my office has started following them. The obsession grows. Now, 6 lbs heavier, the truck is finally coming to my office so I no longer need to stalk them to get a tako. Life.is.good. The theme of my story is these takos are more than just takos, they are an experience of fantastic food (orgasm of the mouth). I highly recommend these takos to everyone, so please, try the takos, you will NOT be disappointed (unless you have a terrible palette, then you might not like it). read more

I have never been a big fan of mexican food. It wasn't something I craved. Boka Truck changed this for me. I think about their tacos all the time and I follow their twitter to see what food truck courts in my area they will be at. It's one of the best parts of events and festivals around the city. They have some amazing offerings but I suggest you get "The Gauntlet" when available. It is 3 tacos, the asian, the mexican and the american. This basically lets you get a taste of different proteins (they suggest the best for the flavor pairings) and the different flavors and toppings that go in between those amazingly perfect tortilla shells. I always get the gauntlet with tofu in all three. You'll be stuffed, but it will be worth it. Expect to dream about them that night as well... I even get a little thrill when i see the truck driving by me on the highway and multiple times I have considered dropping my current destination to follow the truck in hopes of getting a taste of their tacos. read more

I use to live by the Boka restaurant located by Regency mall, and before they closed I must have ate there twice a week! So recently, while downtown, I was looking for a place to grab a quick lunch and happily ran into the Boka Truck. I ordered two Boka Takos -Mexican style with tofu- and they were delicious as always. I don't know what kind of sauce they put on those Takos but I wish they would bottle it and sell it! read more

Finally got my hands on the Boka Tako! I have been hearing about this place for a hot while now. Noticed they were at the Food Truck Court event at Hardywood and it was top of my list to try. (Full Disclosure: I am Korean so when I see Kimchi I tend to rate it more critically) I saw Kimchi Takos and I knew at this moment I had to order them. I kept hearing everyone else talk about the Shrimp and the BBQ but when I see a Korean Fusion meal I have to try it. I ordered the Pork, Beef and Chicken Kimchi Tako(s). From a presentation perspective the tacos looked amazing. You can see the cilantro, meat, cheese and kimchi all neatly placed in each taco. I even sprinkled a little extra siracha to add bit more heat for myself. My wife and I were excited to try these! Here is the rub for me; the kimchi was bland. Kimchi is supposed to have a powerful taste, crunch to each bite and be a piece that compliments the meal. The kimchi in the taco was just there and didn't do it for me. The meat was seasoned well and cooked right however, the kimchi brought down the experience for me. That being said I would still recommend this place. The people who work the truck were super friendly and the food is good. I would just recommend getting something other than the Kimchi Tako. read more

Had the short rib tako today and it was incredible. I opened my box and wasn't sure exactly what I was looking at, but everyone raves, so I folded it up and stuck it in my mouth, and I was really glad I did. Totally delicious. The short rib was tender and juicy and whatever magic I didn't pay attention to on the board that went with it was fresh and delicious too. Great composition overall. They are close to where I work during lunch, so I'll be back! read more
