YUM! I often am reluctant to believe the high praise of restaurants that are new or appear on TV though Boca is pretty awesome. I’m a 57 and the two dudes I was with were 36 and 70. So a good age range of guys. We ate at Boca on Feb 19, 2026 at about 5:30 pm. It was busy, but not overcrowded and without any wait time yet. We were immediately seated and immediately attended to. The waiter and staff were all exceeding friendly and professional. I ordered the Boca Balls for the table. They were good and different, though there were only five 1″ diameter balls for $8.50…I should have ordered two plates. For myself I ordered three different tacos and I wish I kept track of which was which. The first one (upper right) was super yummy and it made the next two taste just yummy. Darn, I wish I knew which one the first one was! My older buddy said his three different tacos were also really good. My younger buddy said his tostada was really good too. I was surprised my bill was cheap at less than $30 after tax and tip (Boca Balls and three tacos). I’ll be coming back…with my wife and some other couples! Well done Boca.

Visited February 2026. Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday night. Only had to wait 5 to 10 minutes for a table. Service was fast and friendly. Ordered 4 tacos (al pastor, chorizo con papas, asada, and dan gibson in the order of greatness), chunky guacamole, and a beer. Tacos were stuffed to the brim with meat. You won’t leave hungry. I rate these as the second best tacos i have ever had.

We’ve heard about this place for years — since the old Speedway days — and finally stopped by on a Monday night. We were excited to try it, but it didn’t quite live up to the hype.
Service started slow (about eight minutes before drink orders), and we later realized there was only one server covering the entire dining room and patio. He was doing his best, but we didn’t see him again until after we’d finished eating, so we couldn’t even ask for more limes or mention the issues with the food.
Drinks looked great but tasted flat — my pineapple-mezcal cocktail needed acidity, and my wife’s Paloma had no fizz. Food came out at a good pace, but the flavors were off. Fish taco had crunch but little seasoning, al pastor was more red sauce than a charred al pastor, and the elote needed salt. My tacos — pork in tomatillo, shrimp, barbacoa, and mole — all had tortillas that fell apart. The mole taco was the best of the bunch.
For a bill just over $90, the quality and service didn’t match the price. Beautiful bar glassware, but tacos on a plastic cutting board felt mismatched. The real standout? Chips and salsa — easily the best part of the meal and the only thing we’d return for.

A group of us came here to try the tacos by Chef Maria because we saw her on tv. The salsa sampler was great, spicy salsas! The homemade chips were tasty. I got the shrimp, beef and chicken tacos and i enjoyed them all. The Boca balls are amazing! The only complaint was my friend did not like the cauliflower taco and our service was slow to bring us drink refills.

Definitely one of the best tacos out there. Very creative and each taco has totally different flavors. Marinared pollo had very good flavor and batter of shrimp was so light. Chef Maria Mazon brought out the food for us, so it was extra special. Definitely going back when I’m in town.

Best tacos I have ever had. I have eaten tacos in Mexico, in the Mexican embassy in Beijing and over 300 restaurants in a dozen states. Saw Chef Maria on TV and she did not disappoint. The Banana Habernero salsa is so good I could drink it.

Visited BOCA several times over a couple of months in Tucson. The tacos were consistently delicious, when my dining companions ordered some non-taco dishes, including the BOCA balls and ribs, and their reviews of the other items were mixed. Over several visits, I think I tried nearly every taco on the menu and there was some unique takes, but they were consistently pretty excellent.
The chips and salsa are an adventure, the chips come out freshly fried in a brown paper bag, enough to feed 3-4 people. The salsas are different every time and typically include some interesting variations and flavors. Worth trying just to see what chef is experimenting with.
The margaritas are solid and they have a nice array of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options on the menu.
I was typically able to find free parking in the area, the next neighborhood block usually has some spots available.
The wait varied from getting seated immediately to 30 minutes, but they input your cell phone into Resy and send you a text when your table is ready. Reservations only for large groups. Service varied across visits to highly attentive and engaged to barely communicative, with limited interaction or checking in throughout the meal.

The staff is extremely friendly! The food and drinks are great. The happy hour carafe is unbeatable. I have been back 3 times now and every time has been great.
A lot of the bad reviews here are unfair, and I would say it’s absolutely a spot worth visiting!

Wow!! We spent a week in Tucson trying a ton of different places to eat and this was by and far the clear winner! First of all, the margaritas are fresh, delicious, and tasty. Second, the house made salsa and dips are all amazing. And the food, my goodness the food. We tried at least 6 different tacos, and every meat and veggie was delectable. Even the peppers were great! Skip the tourist trap nonsense and come here, you won’t be disappointed.
