Sat on the patio since we had the pup with us. Food was great, had a carne asada bowl for our pup that he loved. The food was delicious!

The food is delicious. They were once rated as the best tacos in Tucson which says a lot as this entire city is filled with Mexican food. Their tacos are exceptional and very filling. The service is a little off but it's downtown and they are always very busy with customers and making the food. Stop by here to get some amazing tacos.

Weve visited Boca multiple times per year over the past few years. I think ive been there for the last time as of 3pm today. Dont get me wrong, the food is still good. The service on the other hand, was patheticeven after the owner spoke to me in person.

Management needs to look into their front of house staff arrangement!
Menu also does not match what is online.
Went here on Monday at 3:45pm. Although we were seated immediately, it took 15 minutes for someone to visit our table. That person said, "Your server will be right with you," and we waited longer for the server to arrive. During that time, only one other party was dining there, and another party came in. We witnessed the party stand there for 7 minutes ungreeted before they left. By 4:30, the staff became more attentive.
If you are transitioning shifts or taking breaks during this hour, please reevaluate how you manage that transition.
I've been dining at Boca since they were a small building on Speedway. The atmosphere looks fancier now, but the menu is harder to read because the font is too light for a dark restaurant.

I went with my pretty girl pre-Tucson Folk Festival. It was a Saturday morning, and Boca was closed until noon (only about a 15 minute wait. There are lots of great curio shops to peruse - it is 4th Ave after all
We got seated outside in a nice sunny spot. We placed our order, then went over to Boca's store to look around. There we were treated with Chef Maria working on a new recipe (which involved, I believe, lots of roasted peppers, so the whole place had this incredible aroma).
Our food was waiting for us at our table. My lovely date ordered two salmon tacos, while I ordered 1 salmon taco and one grilled shrimp taco. The salmon is sushi grade, really delicious. All came on blue corn tortillas. We also ordered chips and salsa. The chips are made to order, and they bring you 5 different salsas. Super yummy all of it!
If you are looking for great chef inspired Mexican food on 4th Ave, you have to try Boca! Oh, and the service was great too!
Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options here
Parking: So it can be a challenge finding parking on 4th Ave at times.
Kid-friendliness: Lots of things to look at here, and the outdoor area is very pretty.
Wheelchair accessibility: Good access.
