Boca Grande Taqueria

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

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

This place is great!

People complain about being rushed through the line, ingredients being put on before you say anything, but that's how the Mexican restaurants all are in Texas and California! Speak up quickly, and get over it. Now, as for the food, it's awesome. I think people getting Mexican food in Boston assume that it can't be good just because it's in New England. I don't have to qualify this place and say "it's good for New England." This place has some of the best Mexican food I've ever tasted!! And I've lived in both CA and TX. I love their totally fresh guac (squashed avocado with some spices), and their Colorado chicken is delicious.

• Pros: Great grilled meat, Amazing guac, Top 10 of all time

good food cheap

very nice tex mex, often overlooked for ana's taqueria, at the expense of more seating, cleaner surroundings, better parking and fresher and cleaner food. My only complaint is no credit cards accepted (no credit cards at ana's either though).

The decor is comfortable, the service is quick, and they have perhaps the best enchiladas and quesedillas in boston, especially for 4 dollars a platter w/o guac and sour creme. Ample seating, and the tables are cleaned frequently, making it a good place to sit and eat, as well as a great take out joint.

• Pros: cheap, fast, good parking
• Cons: can get crowded, no credit cards
