From the Restaurant
When it comes to authenticity, we pull out all the stops. Leave no avocado behind. But how can we not when our kitchen is overflowing with multiple generations of family perfected recipes. Tacos may seem easy but, if the ingredients aren’t perfect you’ve got nothing more than a sorry excuse for a food that has an entire day dedicated to. #tacotuesday
We pride ourselves on being a multi-generational family owned and operated business. When you visit you’ll have no problem picking up on this since everyone who comes in is automatically part of the Boca Chica family. This family style service is hands down one of the biggest things that sets us apart from the rest. You might think our opinion is a little bias, but why don’t you just come in and experience it for yourself.
Tacos aren’t the only thing we do well. Our menu is bursting with fresh, flavorful and authentic Mexican dishes which can make it tricky to pick just one. Don’t worry, we’ve got a solution for you. Bring your friends and family, order a variety and play a little game of pass the plate. Everybody gets a taste.
Patio, cantina, buffet or catering. We’ve got options for everyone and every occasion, not to mention awesome weekly specials to satisfy you dreams of a Mexican fiesta in the middle of Saint Paul.
So, whether we see you on Tuesdays, during our infamous happy hour or anytime in between. Remember this, tacos always come in pairs, margaritas are meant to be shared with friends (just make surethey get their own) and guacamole tastes better on a patio. What are you waiting for? Grab your amigos and join the Boca Chica family.
