Reviews
While I enjoy many menu items including the Mezcalita (drink ), aguachiles, variety of salsas, chicken tacos, (the previous) shrimp taco, oysters, Oysters Rockerfeller, and Tampiqueña. I am writing to share some feedback.
I was disappointed to see the recent limitations to the happy hour menu and the change to the shrimp tacos. The previous shrimp taco was light, flavorful, and unique (featured in the pic), whereas the new battered version feels heavy and lacks flavor. I truly hope you consider bringing the original version back. The changes is the reason for the four star.
Additionally, I have a few suggestions to help increase foot traffic, as I want to see the restaurant continue to thrive:
– Update the happy hour menu to include more favorites like the steak quesadillas.
– Extend happy hour by one hour.
– Introduce Sunday brunch with a DJ or specialty nights featuring a live band.
– Increase marketing efforts to draw in more guests.
Your food and service are amazing and your foot traffic should reflect that daily. I want to ensure Bocaditos remains a staple in the community for a long time. Thank you for countless incredible dinning and eating experiences.
The highlight of the food I tried was the Aguachiles, it is a must try! The drink were also great and and on the craft side.
I sat at the bar, and didn’t get the attention I need for simple things like more water or to pay my bill. Overall, would I come back? Yes, and maybe hope for a different server.
Food-wise, everything we tried was delicious. We started with the chips and salsa (had a nice spicy kick!) and the queso fundido, both of which were amazing. I ordered the veggie enchiladas with green sauce, and they were so flavorful and filling — easily one of my favorites. The rice and beans on the side were also really good. My friend got the steak tacos and really enjoyed them too.
Drinks were great, food was fresh, and overall the experience was fantastic. Prices are about what you’d expect for the city, but worth it for the quality and atmosphere. Definitely a spot I’d come back to for a night out or another celebration!
From the moment the plate hit the table, the aroma was mouthwatering, warm, savory, with the faint sweetness of grilled pineapple and the sharp freshness of red onion. Each taco was artfully assembled: a soft, house-made corn tortilla cradling thick chunks of crispy pork belly, seared to golden perfection. The outer layer had a crackling crispness, while the inside remained tender and juicy, almost melting as you chewed.
What elevated these tacos even further was the medley of fresh toppings: bright red onion, fragrant cilantro, a thin slice of crisp radish, and the surprising pop of sweet pineapple, which perfectly balanced the richness of the pork. A generous spoonful of homemade salsa brought just the right amount of heat and tang, tying everything together. It was a bite that hit every flavor note, salty, sweet, spicy, and fresh with stunning harmony.
Each bite was better than the last. It didn’t just satisfy, it left me thinking about flavors, textures, and the magic of well-crafted food. My only regret? Not ordering a second round. Highly recommended.
