We always enjoy the food and margaritas here and it’s a bonus when the singer is there. Service is so slow, they don’t return to the table for refills or to check on us. We’ve been here 4 times and it’s always the same. We have to go to the desk to check out since they don’t come back to the table to get our check. Sometimes it’s busy, even when it’s not it’s the same. We were there this week and I never even got what I ordered, but the others at our table did. We noticed there are a lot of pick up orders.
Nice atmosphere and staff, just be prepared to wait.

Excellent food! I had an octopus and a marlin taco, my boyfriend had a chimichanga.
The food had so much flavor and complexity, I could’ve kept eating!

Our waitress was super sweet too

I have been critical of restaurants in Rio Rico before if you read my previous posts so La Bocanita was a very pleasant surprise.
The place looks clean, well lit, very friendly staff. And great live music
Two plates. One was the carne asada tacos with flour tortillas with refried beans and rice. I started with the meat. It was great!!! Not chewy, not overly salty. Seasoned well and not greasy. I added the rice beans, julienned cut lettuce, and pico to the taco and this was delicious. Everything went well, all the flavors complemented perfectly with out over powering anything. Good thing the plate had three tacos. The carne asada plate was a great one. Great initial impression.
The other plate was the chimichanga with beef. It was HUGE! It had red sauce (enchilada style) over it with melted cheese. It also came with rice and beans. The chimichanga was well put together, packed with not only beef but also with bell peppers and onions. Each bite was full of good stuff. The texture of the flour tortilla was awesome and it held up well to the beef and the red sauce on the outside. The refried beans were tasty along with the rice. For this dish be hungry. It’s a lot of food.
After leaving the plate completely empty I was ready to come back for a future visit. Finally….a restaurant with great food in Rio Rico!!! I had begun to lose hope after visiting other restaurant. This one came thru in the best of ways. And the prices are very reasonable for the pocket. Lots of food for the money.
And today (Saturday) they had a gentleman playing tunes and singing to them. The pleasant surprise was he also played a mean saxophone. And he played it well. I didn’t get a chance to complement him as he was in the middle of a song. When I go back I certainly will as he added such a great touch of liveliness with his singing and by playing a great saxophone. Thanks you sir!!!
All in all, I had a great meal, great entertainment in a city I had almost given up on.
I love being surprised like that. Keep it up La Bocanita…..you have a great thing going. I’ll certainly be coming back.

The menu prices on the pictures are current as of 7/2025.
