“ Salsa flight is always a treat. Our out-of-town friends had heard about this place, so we took them. ”
“ Amazing food and service all around!! Cauliflower, al pastor, and fish tacos were delicious. ”
“ Delicious! Guacamole was so good!! The peanut salsa and green salsa were great. The banana salsa was not my favorite - could've done with more guacamole instead. The margaritas were great! And the tacos were very tasty. My favorite one was the grilled shrimp (camaron). The asada was really yummy too. Environment was really cool and the waitress was super helpful. Food came quick! ”
“ Some of the best, high quality, unique tacos you can get in the Tucson area. I have been going to BOCA for roughly 4 years now and every time I have been, I haven't been disappointed. They have some of the best salsas that I have had in the Tucson area. If you are ever craving tacos it some great food in general give BOCA a try! ”
“ We came here with a big group, even though we had a reservation they seemed a little understaffed. So it took forever to order and get our food. Food was good, but nothing extraordinary ”
“ Ok guys you 100000 have to try out Boca in Tucson! The tacos are off the charts. I'm gluten free and they have a cabbage taco option! It's fire! I enjoyed the chicken pole and steak taco. I also had a two brothers beer and prickly pear mezcal. It's a tiny spot. Expect a bit of a wait. Such incredible food, set or and ambiance. Gabe was the real MVP slammed and crushing it! ”
