i came here for a friends birthday she made reservations a day before. compared to other reviews my experience was very different and the opposite. It was a Saturday evening around 6 and it was a very empty place. We had a very friendly server who made sure all was well. The food was good not extremely out of the ordinary. aside from alcoholic beverages they only had an option of grapefruit jarrito however they ran out of that they still offered us ginger ale though ! We asked if they can make us a little something for her birthday and they served us ice cream with churros. I think it was a great experience!

Atmosphere: indoor looked nice but the weather was nice so we chose outdoor and it was very very noisy. Choose indoor if you go there. We had a big group and it seemed like a good place for a big group.
Food: pretty good. I really liked the queso. The quesadilla had so much cheese in it and there was so much ice cream in both dessert. I enjoyed my mango margarita.
Service: pretty fast and nice. One of my friend was lactose intolerant and requested to order churros only without ice cream and they did that.

Came here with friends for dinner before a night out. I was a bit disappointed because the level of noise inside was a bit loud and it was hard to hear people speaking who were only seated across the table. (There was loud music playing, which then led everyone to have to raise their voice).
Pros:
– Margs are tasty and strong
– Cute decor and spacious interior
Cons:
– Portion sizes of food are small (esp for the price)
– Too loud indoors – lots of people inside and there was loud music
I also had made a reservation in advance but called to let them know I was going to be late, and could not understand the woman on the phone (due to the background noise on her side of the call). It ended up being ok because the table was still “reserved” just the 1.5 hour limit would start at the reserved time…(but there were also a ton of tables still open so I guess we didn’t really need a reservation..)
The food was good (we got the chicken tacos, fish tacos, and quesadilla), but the portion sizes were very much so on the smaller side.
If you plan on coming here, expect to grab dinner with a group of friends for casual convos – NOT the place to go if you’re looking for a more intimate date/friend-catch up environment.
The interior is beautiful, so it’s a shame the ambiance was not up to par. Maybe it’s quieter if you were to come for lunch during the day…

I loved the vibe of this place; very nice ambience and cool decoration. The food was ok, not mind-blowing. I had the chicken quesadillas. The margarita was tasty, and had a lot of alcohol.
The only downsize was the noise; it was too loud inside.
Otherwise, nice experience

Wow! I just had my birthday party here of 14 people, and everybody raved! We did the pre-fixe menu for $65 a person (not including alcohol). For the money, we got SO much food and it was all delicious. 3 apps and 3 entrees + dessert. The drinks were flowing, strong, and the food was excellent. Especially do not miss the shrimp tacos and carne asada entrees! Everything served was fresh and fabulous. The service was fantastic and they made me feel so special on my birthday! They took such great care of my guests and I. They have great vegetarian options too for people to enjoy. We were not rushed at all and thoroughly were able to enjoy the evening. They even gave me a sparkler, which was so nice of them, and take great group photos! The vibes are also immaculate, especially in the evening! They also have a clubby bar downstairs with a DJ and the upstairs is a bit quieter (yet still lively) for dinner. I highly recommend this place for not only hosting a birthday, but for a nice dinner with friends or a significant other! Also probably great for corporate parties too. Thank you so much, Casa Bocado staff and chef, for making it a birthday to remember! – Sabrina

Their drinks and pumpkin seed hummus with veggies were fantastic! All their plates looked really fresh and colorful as well. The staff was especially accommodating and the outdoor seating on the corner lot was a very nice place to sit!

Wonderful restaurant with a great staff and atmosphere. Came here for a friends birthday for dinner on a Saturday, we were 10 girls, and it was one of the best times. The tacos were amazing and the margarita carafes were exactly what we needed for such a large group of drinkers. And of course I lost my phone but the staff was responsive via email to assisting me in retrieving it. Overall such an amazing experience, which I feel like is rarely seen anymore. 5+ stars!
