• Mexican • Saint Paul
Booked 12 times today
Boca Chica Mexican Restaurant has served the flavorful, authentic cuisine of Mexico since 1964. It was then that Guillermo and Gloria Frias opened the doors to their new restaurant that seated only 28 patrons. 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. We also have a full bar featuring the city’s best selection of Mexican beers and premium tequilas. Voted "Best Margarita" by City Pages.

    Our servers Sharon was absolutely amazing and very attentive. The French onion soup was amazing the cocktails were amazing however the glasses were very sticky so when the bartender is making the drinks they should make sure that the glasses are not sticky and then also make sure that the server is given napkins and or coasters. The main course was just OK.

    I had an amazing night for my first time. Enjoyed celebrating with my fiancé and loved every moment of it. I surprised him with a reservation for Christmas. The staff was amazingly attentive. The food was beyond words and the drinks. Well, let’s just say the drinks were strong, which most people would say is fabulous. You definitely get your moneys worth.

    The waitstaff and management is absolutely top notch. Always checking in, asking what we’re looking for, what cuts they can direct our way, refreshing water/soda, etc. Great value for the price paid, and super happy that locations are finally opening in the suburbs! Ambiance is good, if you can forget you’re in a strip mall. (LOL) The one criticism I could offer is that if you’re not in a larger party, you can sometimes get overlooked - just don’t be afraid to speak up and ask the staff for help.

    My first time here. Went with three office mates and had a delightful afternoon. Drinks and food were delicious, service was prompt despite how busy they were. I had a delicious patty melt, though one of my table mates had mushroom toast that looked incredibly yummy. We ordered their pear blackberry cheesecake to share and it was that perfect level of not too sweet but still a great meal ender. Although the room was filled with holiday parties, you could still hear the conversation at your table
