Reviews for Boca Loca Taqueria Bucktown in Chicago, IL
great burritos. i've never had a bad meal here! i love their guac, their fish taco and their pineapple agua fresca
Our first time eating here and we had a good experience. More of a counter service/ carry out vibe, ingredients were fresh,... portions reasonable. Could tell the salsas and sauces were made in house. Overall a nice local business worth supporting ifyou?re looking for a good quick dinner. Read more
I always have high hopes for this place; even though there is an overwhelming scent of grease in the air. The service is... courteous and quick the few times I've been. The tacos I've had were very well-filled and flavorful. The plates have good-sizedportions of yummy rice and beans. But I just got a burrito full of rice and lettuce (about 7/8 of it) with very little meat. Itwas tasty; I just was expecting slightly more meat for a burrito nearing $15 after taxes. Especially after I saw how much meatwas grilled right in front of me. I'll try a few other items on the menu if I decide to go in again. Read more
Great tortas, we had carnitas and al pastor, both were great. Chicken pozole verde was really excellent, I highly recommend it.... Tacos are on the small side, "street taco size" I guess. Last time I had the carnitas, al pastor, and carne asada, recommendedin that order. Read more
Been meaning to check out this local taqueria. Everything was fantastic. Nothing was dry? the meat and tamales all super moist.... Lots of flavor. I was personally happy the elote was not that spicy because I?m a wee bit of a wuss. But the side salsas had aton of heat to plus it up if you desire. Or ask for it hot! I am ready to go back and try more. Read more
We stopped here on our way home from New York. We ordered the trio/chips which were off the chain! The chips were fresh and so... delicious. The Pozole was so authentic and satisfying. My daughter had the chicken flautas but the chicken was super dry. It washer birthday and we enjoyed the music & ambience. One thing tho. Her chair broke while she was sitting in it. I was so scaredshe broke her legs but she was fine. The ladies never asked if we were ok or anything and it was loud. Otherwise nice place. Read more
Mediocre tacos. Steak was the best, carnitas and chicken dry, shrimp taco was inedible at $5 each.
Update 2022: Incredible just like before. Absolutely mouthwateringly delicious food. I do hope they get more comfortable seating... someday though - those stools are painful. The carnitas tacos take me back to my time in California! So good and filling omg!The guac tasted authentic, just like how I make it at home. The horchata was awesome too, not too watery not too sweet and wellmixed, perfect ? The chips were crispy with what looked like sea salt ontop. And the staff kept it safe by wearing masks! Yes!The decor is soo cute too, totally a nice date spot ? Very clean, brightly colored and trendy ? Whoever runs this place knowswhat they're doing! Read more
