Burritos are awesome, I love the Gator burrito with a side of the Mango Habenero sauce, even if my body is grumpy in the morning after ?. The atmosphere is great, and the cocktails are tasty (especially when the are on happy hour). The occasional brunch menu is ?Vegetarian options: TVP in a burrito or taco is better than beef in my opinion. Plus beans and rice of course.

Bogo marg deal is a MUST, the little dino tokens they give you are awesome! The pulled pork tacos were the best out of the chicken and beef (these two were kinda bland). Service and atmosphere were 10/10 though, great pregame or date spot for Karaoke Mondays at the backyard.

Great little place in the middle of Gainesville. The food and atmosphere was awesome. The service deserves less stars but they did tell us when we arrived they were short staffed and waits could take longer than normal, therefore four stars because the server was awesome when we had moments with them. They were working their tails off. I definitely recommend but hope they are able to get more staff soon.

So I'm sitting outside of this establishment. I'm legit looking at the hostes now for the past 15 min! No server...no service. I'm amazed at the fact she legit is looking at my family and I sitting here and has done nothing to get us some service! Yeah.. nope. Yall

Overall the experience was great. The waitress was very attentive and the place was very clean and friendly. The chips and guac were honestly perfect and I also tried the fried vegan Mac and cheese which was decent. I had a burrito with the TVP and vegan queso and honestly that was a bit bland/soggy. I might try it with the tempeh next time I go but I’m not big on tempeh. I do just want to say that maybe y’all can look into other vegan options instead of TVP, there’s so many other protein options that are readily available for vegan/vegetarians and I would be willing to pay a little extra for that. But like I said, overall good experience and I will likely go again!

Came here with the wife, food is very low quality. Salsa and chips? Sure if you want canned crushed tomatoes poured in a bowl with other stuff in it. Absolutely embarrassing to call it salsa. Chips are stale. Ordered a chimichanga, took one bite of the rice and beans that came with it, NOPE, one bite of the chimichanga spit that bit back in a napkin and put back on my plate. I have never sent a dish back in my life, but the food was so bad that I really felt like i had no choice. Wife was dumbfounded, "We finally found something you won't eat!" She said, that says A LOT! This is terrible food disguised as Mexican food. You've been warned.

I've had the greatest salsa in Gainesville at Boca Fiesta. Clearly. The quality of salsa is a solid indicator of an excellent Mexican restaurant, and Boca Fiesta delivers on this front. Amazing amounts of chimichanga were served, and unlike many other locations, there was no overpowering side of refried beans. Although a little pricy, you are paying for the premium ingredients and service that go along with the experience and setting. If they are having karaoke night, though, I suggest staying inside unless you want to see people sing incoherently.

Are 3 burritos in 3 days too many? Probably. These burritos are amazing. We always come here during Fest. Staff is always amazing. Careful, the orange hot sauce will get you. Fish, steak and al pastor burritos are the best. Absolutely worth 7 hours of driving to get to.

ZERO STARS!! HORRIBLE!!Don't waste your time here, they should go out of business. Came here to celebrate my 21st birthday with some friends, and they ruined it. The person working the door took my friends ID and refused to give it back. She is actually the rudest person you will ever meet. Absolutely ruined my birthday dinner and did not care. It's Gainesville, a college town, everyone goes everywhere without a problem. She acts like she's some famous bouncer in Miami. After dinner I went up to her again to say it's my birthday and I feel bad because I told my friends to come and she cut me off mid sentence and said "that's your problem. You're not getting your friends ID back" and walked away. Automatic 20% gratuity because we had a table for 15. The waitress took that to her advantage!! Service was horrible. She forgot everything and we had to ask 10 times to get anything. They made the check so complicated and refused to split it more than 7 ways. Ambiance sucked, we were seated outside where it was hot as hell and wet from rain. Food was small and sucked.
