Boca Grande Taqueria

If you love fat, grizzle and hunting for your meat - it's Boca Grande!!!

by Hbeachbum

This place has the worst burritos I have ever ad. I tried them 4 times because I love Mexican food and it's hard to find in Boston (well.... good Mexican anyway). I tried the carnitas, beef (2x) and chicken. Every time I was amazed at the lack of meat and the meat that was there usually had a huge chunk of fat or grizzle hanging from it. Just low quality food... and not cheap. AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS!!! The lady that owns this chain has a brother that owns Anna's Taqueria...(who she does not spek to) and I have to say I have never been disappointed by them... not the best I ever had, but probably the best in Boston. She should put her differences aside and get some cooking lessons from her bro.

Best Taqueria in Boston... if you know your mexican food.

by lcresuello

Being originally from San Francisco, I am very easily disappointed with the food that I find over here in Boston. And might I add that I love food... and I am usually not picky. I've been to Anna's Taqueria where I find the food and service to be the worst ever when going to a taqueria. However, in finally going to Boca Grande, I've found mexican food good enough to be compared to that of the taquerias from back home.

Just as I have discovered at Boca Grande, it is expected that all taquerias:

1) Have reasonable prices

2) Serve mexican sodas and other traditional drinks (my favorite is horchata)

3) Expect to put every indgredient on your order (you shouldn't be telling the worker what to put, you should be telling them what NOT to put)

... AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...

You should have to hold the burrito in two hands, noting its size, which makes it a mess to eat and will actually fill you.

All I really have to say is that Boca Grande is a taqueria with great food and service.

• Pros: Food, Service

Surprisingly good.

My husband and I had heard raves about another taqueria in the area and were really disappointed with it. We tried Boca next and were pleasantly surprised. You could actually see the real meat being grilled and used on the burrittos as opposed to mystery meat being scooped out of a bin. The steak burrito was very tasty. Even if the burritos cost 50 cents more than some others, they are most definately worth it!

• Pros: tasty, inexpensive, large portions
