Boca Grande Taqueria

I love Boca Grande going into Boca Grande. Their tamales are delicious. Would highly recommend!!

We come here almost every Friday for what we call "Taco Friday". Our son goes to pre k nearby and on Fridays we take him to Henry Bear and then we eat here. Thankfully we do not go to Henry Bear as often (our back account is thankful) but he is still excited for coming to Boca Grande. Even though he just drinks the lemon water and never partakes in the delicious food. Anyway this is my favorite taqueria. I am a soft chicken taco holic and they seriously make the best soft tacos. The shells , unlike their competitors, never fall apart. Their meat is more flavorful and not so chewy. I just want all the tacos in my belly.My husband gets the chicken burrito and also prefers theirs to competitors. They have a tiny seating area so we've been lucky to always have seating. Their bathrooms are clean and convenient especially for a young kid in tow. They are a coke place ....huzzah. They do serve beer but never had any. Service and cooks are always friendly and they have memorized my order. Xox love your tacos for mi boca grande !

Rudest. people I have encountered,, NEVER going to get anything here again, EVEN if it means going hungry.I walked in a few days ago, to order a bowl.The two. employees were loosely wearing a mask around. their neck......dont' even want to know about hygiene in this place........But their rudeness is. what I am writing about there.I asked the guy politely if he could put my salsa, lettuce. etc in a. "separate" container, and NOT. mix it with the hot food.He gave me a look like I was insane.... hesitant, looking. over to the woman who was "texting" in the corner, hiding from me. saying something. in Spanish about me , and refusing to do what I asked for. (yes I signed up. for. a Spanish class. today, so I can. respond quick in situations like this. in the future,, this is all too common))he shook. his head telling me "no"I repeated my request, did. not. want those ingredients mixed in my hot bowl. - what's the big deal. talk to me!Again, shaking his head,, and "no"the woman. apparently was giving him signs without coming. to the front,, wasting MY time.I. tried for a. third time, and insisted. "I would. like the salsa. in a separate container,, not on my food!""she came. over, pointed to a tiny salt. container, I said "no I am asking fora larger container. to have my toppings , salsa, lettuce, whatever it is you add on. top , in a separate. container. what is the big deal?-- again, wasting my time. --- refusing. the. customer?? what''s wrong with you people?they. looked at each other again, rude to me, he again said "no"she then. said. "" a larger container is $ 1.75I am like ". go ahead, that is what I want "I was FURIOUS at that pointare. you guys THIS cheap? that container is. generally free.I. got no time for bad. service, and worse rudeness, and NEVER going back to. this. rude unhygienic place.MASKS. BELONG. ON YOUR NOSE! NOT. AROUND YOUR NECK -- it is not a necklace!

Talk about protein options!!! This place has almost a dozen options (or was it more than?) for your protein! I only got to try the chorizo, but it was very flavorful and now I'm excited to give their beef and chicken a try.Okay, back tracking a bit, the place is very clean, quaint, and friendly. They have a limited number of chairs so they always ask if it's for there or to go. This place is about build-your-own meal and everything looked extremely surprisingly fresh.I got a burrito bowl which already came in a to go box so it didn't matter to me, but most of the other options will be served on their actual plates. A burrito bowl with sour cream add on and tomatoes ended up being $10 and for the portion size, I can get two lunches out of it so yes, this place is a good value! I can imagine this place becoming more popular so y'all better get here before the lines begin to form! I was shy asking for more toppings, but maybe next time I'll be more adventurous. Very pleasant first experience and I'm looking forward to this place's growth!

I'll start with the good. Clean, staff is friendly, and lots of options. With that being said I found that the food lacked flavor. Nothing was seasoned. I LOVE Mexican food and this did not do it for me or to other people I spoke with. We all said the same thing with our very different orders. No flavor. That's with salt and pepper added and hot sauce as well. The beans are definitely not seasoned nor are the meats. Not even the rice. There are other options in Brookline which I will continue to visit but unfortunately I'll most likely won't return here.

The first time I visited Boca Grande I learned the hard way that even sour cream costs extra, though they don't say so when offering it to you. I went there for a quick, relatively inexpensive lunch that turned out to cost just as much as anywhere else in Brookline Village. If you're going to almost automatically add sour cream & guac, you should tell your customers that it costs extra. I know, I know, guac always costs extra. But it still seems misleading when I get to the register and expect my meal to ring up as $7.50 and it's nearly $10. Might as well have gone to Cutty's. So being the adaptable human that I am, the next time I came I refused the sour cream & guac. What happened? They overcharged me! $18 instead of $8. Apparently the cashier thought I got a burrito and a salad...I got a Mexican plate. To make matters worse, I misheard her and thought she said $8 so I didn't even realize when she ran my card. Fortunately, she realized the error on her own and caught me before I left. Unfortunately, she refunded me the wrong amount so I still ended up overpaying! I didn't realize it until I had already gotten back to my office and it wasn't worth the $2 to go back and explain the situation. So, call it a sunk cost and I will not be going back again in the future. The food isn't that great anyway - you'll get a better bang for your buck across the street at El Centro.

I had a negative experience at the restaurant:1. Food does not have much, if any, flavor. 2. They are very skimpy with portion sizes. Though it's relatively cheap, it's not a good deal as the portion sizes are so small (e.g. a teaspoon of salsa if you order a burrito bowl).3. Everything is extra! You name it, it's extra!4. Very rude serviceWould not recommend and will not be back.

I absolutely LOVE this place! It's great for a quick and satisfying meal and they have a nice variety on the menu. The people who are leaving 1 or 2 star reviews claiming that the food is not fresh probably live on another planet because I always find the food to be SUPER fresh! I would highly recommend this business :)

I placed an order for pick up here during my lunch hour. They didn't notify me that they were out of the items that I ordered until after I arrived 15 minutes later (despite having my contact info). The staff at the counter was very rude to me when I arrived and didn't even apologize for the inconvenience or wasting my time.

Everything tastes like it came from the prepared foods section of a very mediocre grocery store. Some of the worst guacamole I've ever had in my life. The vegetables are unseasoned and flaccid. The salsa is literally just mushy tomato and big chunks of white onion (with some tiny pieces of cilantro few and far between). The rice is alright
