Came on Cinco de Mayo and the line was very long but moved pretty quickly though. When I got my food, was blown away by the portion size. I do wish that the platter came with additional tortillas without extra cost. For the amount of toppings you get, two tortillas really isn't enough sadly. The food and especially the strawberry lime margarita soft serve itself was delicious though. read more

We grabbed takeout from Boom Boom Mex, and oh my goodness, the portions are HUGE! We ordered a burrito, a quesadilla, and their notorious Super Loaded Nachos - I don't even know how they got the container closed! Everything is very customizable, we loved being able to select exactly what does on each meal. We also tried their new soft serve margaritas, peach/pineapple and strawberry/lime. They were a treat to go along with a delicious meal - and topped with the cutest ducks read more

Ordered off of toast so I could pick it up on my way home from work. Said it would be ready in 35 minutes but was probably ready within 20 min. The store has a lot of space to sit down and eat and this is a much better version of Moe's in my opinion. They even have picnic tables outside under a large tent, great for a nice warmer day. Now the food is absolutely delicious and the portion you get for the Mexican platter is absurd!! This definitely could've been divided up between 3 but I demolished it because the flavor and all the toppings are amazing. The chipotle chicken is so flavorful and the sauce is yum!!! I got the jalapeño heat salsa states it's extra hot but I found to be more flavorful with small spice than hot. Overall really impressed and now fully stuffed in a food coma on the couch with my doggo! hahaha read more

The service was quick and friendly but the food was average with an emphasis on volume over substance. My teenage son is a massive fan but my wife and I do not hold it in the same reverence that he does. Now, do NOT get me wrong as is was not bad and there was nothing that would discourage me from a repeat visit...but it's not my first choice for Tex Mex. Yes, Tex Mex as this is not really Mexican... So, fast a friendly service, huge portions and average quality. read more

This is a popular place as evidenced by the line out the door on a Friday night. It was well worth the short wait. The staff are just lovely, and a young woman prepared our dishes as requested, and then stacked them near the register where we were checked out by who appeared to be the owner. That's where you can order frozen margaritas and a variety of beer. Again, the woman behind the register was so nice and made sure we had everything we needed, bringing the beer and chips to the table for us. The menu was a little bit limited, but that makes it easier to move the lines through. I got the Mexican platter which came with two meats, rice, and a choice of beans, and whatever else you wanted on the dish. I chose guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, and Cheese. The guac and sour cream came in this cute little taco cup. My husband got three tacos made specifically the way he wanted them. The food is fresh and tasty. There is a large dining room, which is very clean and orderly with picnic tables and booths. There's also outdoor seating in the back. A wonderful experience. read more

We went back to Boom Boom and we were pleasantly surprised compared to our last visit. We both had tacos and they were very good especially the taco shells. I don't know if we caught them on a bad night or they were just getting into their groove but it was much better tonight. Just like everything else, the prices have increased but who hasn't increased. You can save 3% by paying in cash. Remember cash? read more

After hearing / reading so many awesome reviews about Boom Boom Mex Mex, I was excited to have finally made my way to their restaurant. I would consider this restaurant more of a "cafeteria style" restaurant, which I actually enjoyed. It made grabbing lunch a breeze on a Friday afternoon. I recalled reading a review that mentioned their chipotle chicken quesadilla was amazing, so that's what I ordered along with a side of nachos and queso guacamole. The quesadilla was pretty tasty, filled with tender chicken and cheese. The chipotle sauce was also pretty good, not as much of a kick as I assumed their would be, but definitely a tasty quesadilla nonetheless. My lunch date ordered the mexican pork tacos, which he stated were delicious and filling. He also tried their atomic sauce and immediately said, "That's how you do a hot sauce!" He also proceeded to sweat just a little (lol) but couldn't stop adding the sauce to his tacos. The staff were all very kind, and the service was efficient and quick! I've been told I need to try their taco salad, so that's definitely next on my list. It's safe to say I'll be visiting Boom Boom Mex Mex again soon. read more

I haven't been here in a few years(I frequent here a lot when it was the old owners). I decided to stop in after volunteering at a school event for my little one. I got there right when they opened so no lines. I see that the new owners added a few new things to the menu which was nice(breakfast). I got one of my favorite a taco salad, the portion were what remembered, a good size . The pork al pastor had ok flavor, could use more seasoning(just my preference). I love the taco shell(my favorite part), flakey and a nice crunch not stale. It was pricey for a taco salad(but what isn't pricey these days). If you haven't been it's cafeteria style of ordering and decent amount of table and chairs. It's quick option for tex mex, not the most authentic. I also like getting the hard shell tacos as well. This is more so 3.7 rating. read more

Visited when it was serving Italian food. Tasty spaghetti and meatballs. Nice to have a change.

Love, love, love this place. I come here a lot. I love Mexican food; and, the food here is always very fresh and delicious. I have come here when it's very busy and also when I was the only one here. I'd recommend stopping by on the early side; it does get busy here. There are lots of toppings and sides you can add to your burrito here. I love ordering the chicken burrito with rice, vegetables, salsa and guacamole. You can sit inside, or you can sit outside here as well. I'm looking forward to stopping back here again soon. I recommend this spot if you're looking for a delicious burrito. read more

I just had a beef taco at this place and I have to say .. it was really good! First off the service was awesome!!! The two ladies behind the counter were killing it!! 4 indecisive folks in front of me were taken care of quickly and not rushed, which was good to see! I was offered a soft taco wrapped around my hard taco, umm YES PLEASE!! Oh and nacho cheese!! If you want a good taco and great service you should check this place out. I am going back to try more from the menu read more

One of my favorite Mexican spots in CNY. I happened to be out that way around lunch time and decided to stop in. As it happened, it was their last day for the season. Lucky me! I opted for the platter which is plenty of food. I always get the Pork al Pastor, and the beef. So good. I only wish they were open year round, but hey like summer, you have to take advantage of it while it's here. Salud! read more

The food was so delicious! They have the best chipotle chicken quesadilla and great guacamole. They have plenty of seating and the ambiance is very cool. Simple Mexican vibes. The service is great and food came out quickly. There always seemed to be a consistent line while we were eating so they serve people pretty quickly. I would highly recommend and definitely be going back! read more

While it's not the most authentic Mexican, it is delicious and fresh. You get a bang for your buck too. We jokingly call their burritos "baby burritos" because they are the size of a newborn baby. Holy cow, you need a nap after eating those things! The nachos and tacos are what I usually order. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The ambiance is ok, as you sit on plastic chairs, so it's not really a place you linger in conversation or to spend loads of time with family. I will say that their outdoor picnic tables on a sunny day are a delight! They now serve alcohol so this is a big plus for those who love a good drink with your Mexican food! Viva Boom Boom Mex Mex! read more

Last time I waste my hard earned dollars here. This place has went way downhill since the original Spanish owners left. Terrible staff. They once again messed up my order, due to the pushy, rude, Karen's-in-training that work there. I ordered three tacos and received a sloppy mess of ingredients that totaled one taco worth of food. They rush you through ordering and really skimp in the portions. my tacos had very little guacamole or sour cream due to the fact that the girl making them took one little scoop and slapped it in all three. they had barely any lettuce on them and kept saying, 'is that all'. I said cilantro and she interrupts, 'anything else?' And I said 'nothing.' She then said, 'onions?' and threw them on all over the tacos before I could say anything. Terrible experience and I won't be back. the staff there used to be so good, attentive, not pushy, and hooked up the ingredients. $15 dollars for three sloppy tacos and hardly anything in them. read more

Yummy food! Fast service. Fresh ingredients. I just wish it wasn't seasonal! Good little spot to eat at.

I used to come here occasionally during my OCC days. Now that I'm back on the Hill I've been back for a few nostalgic visits. When I was a teenager growing up in a small town not far from here, a Mexican family moved to our town and started attending our church. They had moved here from another town in Upstate NY, where they had lived for many years. Nevertheless, in a genuine effort to make them feel more at home, our event planner Linda started a Taco Night (pronounced "Tacko" Night), which became one of our longer standing traditions. The vibe was exactly what you'd expect. They even kept a jar of jalapeños on hand for anyone brave enough to handle them, at which point the room would whoop and holler in awe of the bravery. I've never had Mexican food outside of Central New York, but of the places I have been to, this place is by far the most Tacko Night I've had since my church days. It's a great place to meet your friends when it's gotta be all the way up the hill. I'm sure I'll wind up here again just out of proximity and price. We've tried everything on the menu, making sure to include all types of meat and ingredients at some point along the way. In terms of quality of the food, we just weren't wowed by anything in particular. The Pork Al Pastor at least had a sweetness to it, which broke it somewhere into the "flavored" spectrum. The rest didn't even take me as far as the stuff I make at home with a single packet of Great Value "Mexican Seasoning". Their super loaded nachos are definitely the best buy. read more

Stopped in, finally, on our way home from Exolorinf at the University of Syracuse. Just 10 minutes from downtown Marcellus, this is a surprisingly good mex mex (get it) eatery. TLDR: Boom! The tacos are bomb. Go there now. I had hoped to be able to stop in over the past week and it worked out that it was on our way home today. Yay for serendipity and yay for our tastebuds. We both chose the 3 taco bundle and soft shells. I couldn't tell if the hard shells were house-made (the taco salad bowls were definitely made in-house) but I'll try those next time. The selection of proteins was wider than the typical taqueria and we had chicken en chipotle, perilla pork, Philly steak, and ground beef. He enjoyed each of his 3 different ones, ranking Philly steak and the chicken en chipotle tops. For me, the chicken and pork were tied and were *very tasty - flavorful and moist. I'm salivating thinking about them even hours later. Sometimes I shy away from pork because it can end up too dry but this was amazingly delicious. The food was made in front of us in a line in a way similar to a chain burrito eatery that you may know. The mild sauce was a sabroso addition on top of the cilantro, lettuce and cheese. Next time, I'll have a frozen margarita or Mexican beer. He wants to try a burrito and I will switch to hard sheep tacos. Other than that, I'll probably go street style with cilantro and onions...and salsa. For protein, I'll decide on the fly. Try out Boom Boom Mex Mex! You will enjoy a delicious meal that doesn't break the bank. read more

Its the closest to real Mexican food ,simple food and easy service model . This is a Syracuse gem tuck into a residential area and just crazy good food read more

Fucking thieves who work here added $5 to a take-out order (for 1 person) that I had already tipped them on. Never going back again.

I should have turned around when I walked in and saw zero Mexicans (employees or patrons). Food was incredibly under-flavored (or strangely flavored; the pork had something like mace or nutmeg in it?) and overpriced. Should rename the place "Bland Bland White White". read more

After hearing about this place for years, my husband finally got me here. It's apparently under new management, but since this was my first visit, I had nothing to compare it to. For an assembly line fast casual Mexican place, this was delicious. I got the tacos, and loved when the girl behind the counter suggested I try 3 different proteins (no extra charge), so I went with the beef, the sweeter of the two pork options, and the poblano peppers and cheese. I mixed up toppings as well, and would get all but the poblanos again (I was expecting more of a green-based grilled pepper, and this was very tomato-based). Everything was great, and the servers were cheerful and helpful. Apparently it's also a BYOB spot, so we'll pack a few Coronas for our next visit (and there will be a next visit!). read more

Love Boom Boom! Large portions and good prices and good tasting food. But why sprinkle cheese on a taco salad when you don't ask for it? Thank you to the server who attempted to take it off. read more

It's been a couple of years since I have been to this place...not because of the food, but the pandemic...I forgot how great this place is...the menu choices are limited, tacos, burritos, salads, and a platter...but those items are exceptional here...the "new" owners do the old owners proud by pumping out their original recipes...everything tastes the same. The ingredients are fresh and meat is very tender. The taco shells are freshly made...and have a nice crunch. The burritos are stuffed with whatever you want in them...this is a great local spot, go out and support this locally owned business, you will not be disappointed! read more

Amazing portions, incredible food, locally owned, what more could you ask for? I highly recommend the super loaded nachos or the taco bowl, but you can't go wrong with anything on their menu! Definitely worth the visit. Have never had a bad experience eating there, the food is always fresh, the service is always fast. We have to go back about once every week or two to satisfy the Boom Boom craving. read more

Highly recommend!! You get great energy from the staff and great food. Love it here.

They don't charge extra for guacamole, and they don't charge extra for different types of meat. The portion sizes are giant. I love it here! The menu is simple and the service is quick even when there is a line out the door. This is the best fast casual taqueria in town. read more

After all the waiting I finally got here the last Saturday before they closed for the winter months. Meh, it's okay Mexican food, nothing special or unique, and staff, although friendly is inconsistent from one to the next as far as knowledge and amount of food served in the order placed. My bowl was much larger than my friend's as we had two different servers at the serviced buffet. Was expecting a bit more authenticity in dishes offered. More like an out of the way Moe's. I'll stick to Mesa Grande for this type of food. read more

Wow. Where to start? Delicious food, friendly staff, and an impressive motivated new owner? This is a must try restaurant for anyone looking for their mexican fix. I highly suggest the hard tacos. They are light, flakey, and double shelled to prevent them from falling apart. With a wide variety of different meats/sauces you can satisfy your craving in a variety of flavors and creations. This is the by far the best mexican food in the Syracuse, rochester, and buffalo area. Do yourself a favor and stop by any day of the week for a Mexican treat. So happy this place is back up and running again. P.s. I usually don't order dessert at a Mexican restaurant, but the Flan is to die for read more

This place will give you a huge amount of the blandest food you've ever eaten for cheap. I got the platter with the "chipotle" chicken and the roasted pork "en chile pasada" with beans. It was inexplicably bland, and the way they serve it makes even less sense. What in the hell are you supposed to do with half a plate of lettuce and tomatoes when the only accompaniment is bland meat? If you throw everything in a tortilla and douse it in their mediocre "hot" (read, mild) salsa, it was sort of okay, but there is no way you'll want to finish your enormous plate of food, and certainly no way you'll want to bring home any leftovers. The pork, instead of cooking for long enough that it shreds, is overcooked like hell right off the bat and then left soaking in some kind of sauce until it becomes mushy. Not a reasonable facsimile. Everyone says the place is authentic because the owners are from Mexico, but, shit, plenty of people from China come over here and serve moo shu and General Tso. Make no mistake, they've got a huge nacho cheese machine and serve sour cream. This is not authentic Mexican cuisine. This is psuedo-Tex Mex for the Central New York palate, nothing more. Unless you are an enormous fan of Moe's and think Chipotle makes the greatest burrito known to man, you'll seriously regret driving for more than five minutes to try this place. read more

So happy they are back for round 3! It's definitely better than the second time around and pretty close to the original. This time around I tried their burrito with chipotle chicken, rice, lettuce and sour cream. It was absolutely delicious. I also got a small order of nachos (off the menu) with nacho cheese, ground beef and sour cream. It was all absolutely delicious and I cannot wait to go back! read more

Just got Lunch to go their today for myself and my husband. A burrito and beef tacos. No other word for the lunch but horrible. Although veggie ingredients seemed fresh, the beef was tasteless. The pico de gallo was awful. It's only flavor was too much cilantro. There was not a hint of these items being mexican flavored food. I added what I thought was salsa on these items. But it was just some tasteless red liquid. Never go there again. The review was for the Camillus New York location!! read more
