Bocado

Went to trinity groves to try a different place but one of the servers came out and gave a compelling argument on how they were the best seafood in town so of course we had to give it a try! The customer service was amazing and the interior was very clean and polished. The server did mention that they had opened not too long ago.

Finally got to try this place! They've done a great job at redecorating the space, but it was a bit empty for a Thursday night, which resulted in our waitress being a little too attentive. I really enjoyed the sangria and the food was pretty tasty. The taco capricho were probably my favorite from what we tried. We also got the sea bass tacos which were slightly disappointing. The colbrus was good, the sauce complimented the Brussel sprouts well and was very savory. I liked the other dishes, but what bothered me was that in every dish, the meat portion is little baby chunks, which is hidden in a bunch of fluffy veggies. I would've preferred larger pieces of meat that I didn't have to go fishing for in the dish.

Went here for brunch on Sunday and sat outside in the covered patio area. It was very vibey and we didn't wait for a table! Also, really enjoyed the food! They bring the most delicious salsas to the table. The guac was good. We loved everything we ordered. The divorced eggs were very good with beans that were amazing! Loved the chilaquiles, although the amount of meat was lighter than we hoped. Good service! The Bloody Mary and espresso martini were amazing! We will be back here for brunch.

Came for brunch on a Saturday for a friend's birthday. Overall consensus from group was that it may be a spot for drinks, but not for food. Pros: decor, music, cocktails (according to friends), and chips and salsaCons: limited gluten free options at brunch, severely overpriced for portion size ($19 for guacamole and chicharrones -- you get 7 of them for that price and they charge $3 for extra), the waitstaff had limited knowledge of menu and what an item actually was (for example I was told a dessert was a cheesecake, then a cake, then a bread pudding (mind you the menu mentions none of these items in the description)), and there are only two tables but the service was quite slow.

This restaurant was recommended by one of my best friends and I am so happy I had the opportunity to check it out. They have complimentary valet which is efficient and convenient. The chips they bring out to you are delicious!! So good! Drinks and food are mouthwatering as well.

Great place for cocktails! We didn't get to try the food but we got the sandia spritz ($13) and the espuma pasión ($14). The bartender made us an extra free sandia spritz so the service was so nice! The inside has a dim intimate vibe to it. Would be a great place for a date night or small group outing.

This place is amazing! The customer service was good and they are dog friendly! We went for brunch on a Sunday and ordered the tacos, chilaquiles, and some drinks. Everything was delicious and pretty authentic tasting. They also treated our pets really well! They got water and some snacks. Wasn't overly loud and we had a great experience. Will definitely be back!

We (the wife, kid and I) went here for lunch on Cinco de Mayo. The wife had sent me a text about this place on Ross that makes authentic Mexican, not Tex-Mex. I was interested.Parking around this place is tough. There might be valet but I did not use it. We found street parking during an off hour. As we were approaching the restaurant, some place was incredibly loud and I said to the wife "I hope that noise is not from the restaurant."We got to the door and were basically blasted backwards by the sounds. It was as loud as a nightclub or even a concert. It was about 3 pm. I approached the hostess and asked (shouted) if there was a quiet place we could eat. She said (shouted) no. By this time the kid was crying and wanted to leave. So, we did not get to try the food. I cannot comment on the food. All I can say is that if you want a place to eat and have a conversation, this is not it. It might be a great place to party and dance, maybe drink and have a bite.

TL;DR: for their first time serving brunch, it was a nice meal with some areas to improve on. With time, I could see it becoming a regular spot for me!I'd been meaning to try Bocado after Dahlia closed down. We came in with brunch reservations not realizing it was actually their first day offering brunch! We got lucky with street parking on Hall, but they also have valet.Ambience: there was a big group having a baby shower, so it was a little hectic with kids and families, but not a big deal. Otherwise, it was clean with dark decor.Service: our server Manuela, along with the rest of the staff, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. There did seem to be some miscommunication throughout the meal, like multiple servers checking in if we'd ordered or bringing extra salsa. But I know they were figuring things out, so the mild confusion wasn't a major concern.Drinks:- La coqueta: rum, pineapple, orange, and coconut. Very tasty and sweet, to the point where I couldn't really tell if it had alcohol... but good nonetheless.- Margarita: just from their regular menu. Definitely a solid marg!Food:- Tortita ahogada: loved the flavors of the dish, but it wasn't warm (again, maybe from it being their first day of brunch). FYI portion size is on the smaller side.- Chilaquiles verdes: although tasty, my partner wished it had more salsa and more spice. They ended up bringing a different orange salsa which definitely helped.Value: prices were mid-range - for Mexican breakfast/brunch, it's not the cheapest but also not too expensive. Overall, we still had an enjoyable meal with great service. I would return, but maybe after giving them some more time to nail out all the details and find their groove.

Me and my boyfriend came here for a Valentine's Day dinner. Bocado had a four course pre set dinner menu which was lovely. When we walked in we were both handed a glass of champagne which was a nice touch. This spot has only been open for a month so I was very impressed with how they managed to pull off a holiday meal. The food was all great! I have no complaints there. The restaurants decor was very nice, I wish some of the lights were dimmed a bit more to really create an even more romantic atmosphere but that's me being super critical. I am excited to see how this spot does as they continue to get more experience!
