Reviews for Boca Chica | Restaurante Mexicano y Cantina in St Paul, MN
The wait staff was wonderful, friendly, and attentive. The food was good. I had the fried tacos, and my guy had enchiladas. I... had a cucumber margarita, he had a Pacifico. Again, the food was very good. My 3 stars are because I felt like we should haveset an extra place for the fruit flies that were trying get a free meal. I had to swat them away from our food way more thanonce. But we're full, under 75$ and I had a really nice night out with my guy for my birthday! Read more
Delicious Mexican restaurant with flavorful dishes, quality margaritas, and sometimes live music. The restaurant was spacious,... yet authentic and comfortable. Really enjoyed the chimichangas americanas, along with the chili con queso, and had a polo locomargarita. Read more
Oh wow! First of all, the decorations and vibes here are wonderful! It's on the side of a small(ish) road and both outside and... inside are lovely! I forgot to take a picture of the outside, but wow! Just super pretty. There's an option for indoor andoutdoor seating with umbrella. We biked there and they allowed us to set our bikes against the gate which was very kind ofthem! -- Our server was super kind and ready to help and give recommendations. The food was delicious too! The salsa forstarters was a hot basket of tortilla chips and two salsas of different heat levels. 10/10, loved it! I ordered fajitas with aside of mole sauce (extra). The sides that came with (guac, pico de gallo, beans, and sour cream) tasted super good. I wish Igot extra guac and pico de gallo. Everything just tasted so fresh. Presentation of food is also gorgeous too. I think the drinkswere top-notch too! I had the strawberry lemonade and it was tart and sweet. I can't wait to go back again. 10/10 place.Wonderful service, scenery, and food. :)))) Read more
Very comfortable environment. Great server. Pretty authentic Mexican food with Americanized options (flour tortillas.) Taco... Tuesday has $2 street tacos (yellow plate.) I had the red plate which was 2 for $13 for a beef burrito and pulled chicken softshell. Chicken was much better quality than the beef. Comfy chairs. Nice bathroom with unique design. Water served immediatelywithout question. No free chips and salsa like other places but you can order it for $2.99. So super affordable! Very spicyoptions if mild doesn’t do it for you. Read more
The best Mexican food on the planet! My dad has been bringing me here for 50 years! We were celebrating my dad Jim Box who went... to the Lord on 3.19.22 Read more
In my opinion the best Mexican restaurant in the Twin Cities. Very authentic and good portion sizes as well. As you can see in... one of my photos there is freshly grated cheese. If you’re a cheese person this will make all of the difference to you. Thestaff is nice and they try their best always. They have really good chips and salsa too. Enchiladas are great. Read more
I've been eating at Boca Chica for over 30 years. This local, family-owned "gem" of an authentic Mexican restaurant is a real... credit to the community. Take a look at my pictures to understand the care and dedication they put into their food. Everythingwas delicious, fresh, and flavorful. The Sangre (Blood Orange) Margarita was fantastic as was the great service. I absolutelyrecommend Boca Chica for a great experience! Read more
Fantastic and delicious, good prices, excellent staff. Will definitely return. The tinga chicken tacos were delicious (there... were three, but I had eaten one before I remembered to take a photo). Also really enjoyed the black beans with queso fresco andcrema! Read more
