Today, Boca Chica has grown substantially and is rated "one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities," according to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine’s March 2018 issue.The authenticity of the food is maintained by making everything from scratch, the old-fashioned way, with fresh ingredients. Even the fiery salsa is still made with fresh tomatoes, chiles, and that special Frias family touch. Our menu includes some of the more traditional foods such as guisados, sopes, carne asada, chile rellenos, and tamales. Taste is never compromised.

Never had a bad meal at the Downtowner. The food is always excellent, whether you order one of their steaks, pasta, pizza, or anything else, and the prices are very reasonable. The wait staff are kind, efficient, and very helpful. It's a great place to go before a hockey game at the Xcel, or just for a good meal.

It was my birthday, January 4th and we were greeted warmly. The server was very pleasant and she sat us at a very comfortable table. We ordered the seafood trio, past, steak and a chicken sandwich. The food came out at a reasonable time and was delicious. Since it was my birthday, the server brought me out a delicious creme' bulee. This restaurant has a great ambiance and I highly recommend it!!! The prices are also reasonable for the service and food that you receive. I will definitely be back!!!
