We love the outdoor patio. We probably wouldn't eat inside because there is always a bad smell. Not sure if it's from the water features.

The food was great and my son had a surprise for his birthday!
The waiter Mitchell was excellent. Food was hot and tasty and the drinks were on point. I left La Boca feeling satisfied.
We went for lunch at 2:00 and the dining room was closed so we had to eat in the bar. Service was slow but food was good. We were the only ones there besides two men at the bar. We would have enjoyed the experience more eating in the dining room. A bar is a sad place on a Thursday afternoon. I'd recommend for dinner.
please offer for SENIORS AND Birthday celebration discount coupon or offer Cake or ICE CREAM. or special 50% off discount price for SENIORS.
Liked the back outdoor dining area. Didn't like that it was so airconditioned inside the side dining area inside
Little bit noisy. Sarah our server was excellent.
Service by our server was great.... the food and drink quality — not so much. The pork empanadas had a very weird taste to them, the meat in the enchiladas was very dry, and our margaritas were served in a pint glass with tons of ice... there was just no quality or Mexican authenticity.
We love our bartender Fabio! He made sure we were happy, enjoying and checked back frequently. He was friendly and welcoming.
Although it was happy hour, the waiter brought out the non-happy hour menu, until we asked for the happy hour menu. My husband's vegetables were all overcooked in the street chicken dish. I didn't like the combination of black beans and corn-too much like succotash. Atmosphere was Mexican cantina style. Not great dining, but fun. W liked the long-time waiter. We wanted to eat on the quieter back patio, but there was an event. We settled for the street side patio. Although we gave our waiter the $off certificate, when we received the bill, it wasn't deducted. The waiter cheerfully fixed it for us.
Quick and friendly service
We sat at the bar. The bartender waited on us & was attentive and very nice. The food was so abundant that I took over 1/2 of it home.
The chicken in my fajita salad was overcooked.
excellent bartender. He offered sample beers before ordering. Many restaurants don't offer that during Happy Hours.
It was a small spot that in was able to hang out with my friend...waiters weren't overbearing..cool chill spot
Very friendly and competent server
I was very disapointed in tonights dining experience. The food was very cold; the steak was so tough...not happy at all. I will be contacting the manager tomorrow.
Had the steak fajitas and the steak was tough to eat, would not order again! Waitress was not the greatest checking on us
Nice patio area, not a lot of tables but plenty of space at the bar. Food was excellent and so were our drinks.
Good food, nice atmosphere.
As someone who works weekends and has Monday's off. It's really nice to be able to grab a bite at La Boca's on a Monday and relax. Food's good, service with a smile and friendly chatting, house margarita 'hit the spot'. Thank you for a good relaxing lunch today!
I was shocked how ridiculously good the food was. Server was really attentive and they even had an excellent dessert menu for great prices.
Food was fresh and taste was good.
Quick friendly service in a great atmosphere

Waiter was very attentive and friendly.
dinner was better than average. atmosphere not the best bar seats need a little attention but we were in bar area. Restaurant side looked better but the wait was way too long
great food at reasonable prices
They didn't have the braised short ribs which are fabulous. They ran out of them yesterday and haven't restocked yet.My nephews were very pleased with their meals and our shrimp appetizer, and loved the churros
The music was too loud on the dining room side, but the food was good and the waiter was fine.
Very attentive service, great portions for the price, absolutely delicious food.
The service and food is always great
I had a delicious steak with sautéed onions and a delicious sauce. Even the potatoes and spinach were excellent. My friend was very pleased with the swordfish dinner as well. We were very pleased!It's nice to know that they have other main dishes besides Mexican.
Food was great. Service was prompt. Everyone was completely cheery and polite.
The food was really delicious but it was our bartender/server that made our experience perfect. Fabio is genuine, patient and a fabulous server.
Good food & good service.
Food bland restaurant hot none of us enjoyed our meal
The food was very tasty and well presented; the portions, however, were enormous precipitating a asecond meal at home. The atmosphere was goodd and the entertainment was appreciated.
Food was great and our waiter Mitch was exceptional as always. A true asset to your team!
Friendly staff
The food was delicious and our server very gracious and helpful. Our only complaint was the time it took for us to be served our food. That could improve.
They are very accommodating about changes or dietary needs. The fajitas came out sizzling, yum!
Waited an unusually long time for dinners, and they were luke warm when we got them. I sent mine back to either heat or redo...my husband kept his even though it wasn't hot just because he was hungrey after waiting so long. They gave me a new dinner but it wasn't much warmer than the first. Rice was hard, beans cool and cheese barely melted on top. Very disappointing evening, but waiter was very apolologetic.
Our server Alyssa was great! However, the service was extremely slow but it wasn't her fault. She apologized and stated that the restaurant doesn't give servers sections so that it is fair to the servers. Being in the service industry I truly admire this fair treatment of employees. However, there has got to be more regard for the customer, after all, we are the ones keeping you in business. You guys need to find a better way of keeping both happy. The food was DELICIOUS, loved it. Pink Grapefruit margarita was fabulous as well.
great waiter
Great Food and Fun!
Nothing special. Pricey for what you get.
We had 3 different dishes, the steak kabobs and vegetables were well seasoned and tasty and the Pork Osso Bucco was fantastic. The third dish was coconut, mango salsa on salmon that was just ok, a little dry.The service was great!
Dark, slow service.
No waiting-immediately seating. Server was friendly and polite. The food came quickly and it was fresh and very tasteful. Great atmosphere. Have visited at night for clubbing and enjoyed that too.
Love your "new" site. However, there is no sound absorbing material, so it is like dining in a gym. A loud party was on either end, and their shrieks were bouncing off the walls. Install some panels somewhere . . .
Great service, very good food.
I was very pleasantly surprised to find the food very good and much improved since they have moved to their new location. I will definitely return much sooner now. Nice selection of apps and entries, not all Tex-Mex only. Prices are definitely higher now, but worth it.
Waitstaff was very accommendating - food was very tasty although veggies with meal seemed from a frozen bag. Sangria (red) left a lot to be desired.
Good food
Food, service and staff overall were fabulous. Great hotess kicked off the experience on a positive note. But all the waitstaff were friendly and gave a great impression. Fabio very nice and attentive.
We went for lunch and did the $9.99 special. It was served quickly and was hot and generous. Great value for the money. We went home with leftovers.
The service was HORRIBLE! We would have had more drinks but we were only offered one and could not get the servers attention for a refill. Luckily we had a water too. Someone else walked by and removed our empty plates and we waited another 25 mins just to get the bill. Then they added a charge of $1.75 on as an extra tax because of the rest certif. They then said we had to spend 45 before taxes so we just took deserts home. We were there an hour and a half and could have easily had several drinks if we had a decent server. The appetizer we ordered was a buffalo chicken dip. There was NO chicken in it! Not one piece but it was like bleu cheese dressing and buffalo sauce blended together and heated up. That dip was nasty! The shepherds pie was pretty good but mostly potatoes. The desert was alright but may have been better had we eaten it there. If the server even had a small amount of knowledge about serving her customers we would have stayed. We wont be back. We should have walked out when it took her forever to show up at our table. CAUTION, if you don't have time to waste without a drink then stay away from this dive.
Great service
Great service and great food!!
Food was well presented and tasted great.
Great experience. Our server even went out of his way and offered the gluten free menu and offered substitutions of gluten free items for the special we had.
Not overly liking their new menu- it used to be better. Waiter was okay, have had better there.
The server (Martin) tried to get me to overpay by not deducting the $25 certificated even though he recieved it before we ordered. Then later said just subtract $25 for the total. Then he only deducted $41 from my $50 debit card and gave me the check that said pay $41 instead of Martin subtracting the $41 from the total. Twice he tried to get me to overpay!!
Meals tasted great. Some of them should be for 2 people like the La Boca Ultimate
Unfortunately it was not a good experience. Since the weather finally broke, we wanted to sit outside. They have a small patio with 3 tables where one couple was allowed to smoke at the table. The waiter, although nice enough, had trouble keeping up with all the tables. It appears he was the only one serving. We visited around 3:30 to just after 5 on a Sunday so it got pretty busy by the time we left. My husband and I wanted to love this place since we are total foodies and love Mexican cuisine. Sadly, the food was fair at best. I would say this is more like a bar that happens to sell food. It's really too bad. We unfortunately do not intend to visit again.
Food was a notch above Taco Bell....used to be good Mexican food. VERY disappointed in the quality !
Very good food
waitress was great and food was very good...
The food was not great. My fire grilled margharita chicken was smothered in melted cheese (not labeled clearly as so on the menu!). Overall time to eat from seating to finish was almost two hours - took forever for every step of the meal.
the food was really average, or less than that.
Our waitress was exceptional-- the food and drinks were delicious-- very big portions!!
Great experience
Drink menu outdated - specials on it weren't offered.
Food and service were excellent! The were introducing a new menu and were offering samples- all were superb . All of us will definitely go back.
Grande burrito was delicious and generous in size. Taco shell salad with grilled shrimp was disappointing with iceberg lettuce and minimal ingredients. Mango dressing is terrific. Atmosphere was fun.
We have not been here since they moved to a new location and the food is much, much better. We were very pleased.
drinks were good, sat at the bar with a friend. The food wasn't as good as my last visit. the sauce on the enchilada had a BBQ taste to it and the soft tacos didn't seem the same as the last time I was there. Bartender Matt was excellent.
The hostess told us it would be a 20 minute wait when we arrived. Turned out to be over an hour. We would have left but they kept saying "just 5 or ten more minutes, we're really sorry!"
Waiter, Mitchell, was good, the fod and drinks were also.
The decor is inviting. The accustics good. My meal was good and a very good sized portion., however another guest of mine found some of the sauces on his meal to be way too spicy.
Food was good but nothing special. Dined at restaurant on a Saturday night and there were no specials offered.
Our server Janny was outstanding. Even though she was very busy, she never made us wait and had great dining suggestions. The food and selection were tops.

I love the new bar area. We ate at the bar ;). I don't care for the dining room it reminds me of a cafeteria. I liked the dining room in the old place better. JMO

Our waiter was great and the restaurant is very pleasant - decor and table placement wonderful. If the food had been better it would have been ideal. My chicken dish was totally without flavor and although my husband's dish looked fresh he also complained about lack of flavor.

We were all raving about the food this evening!
The food and service was fantastic!
nice atmosphere easy to have a conversation
I love the new place! ;)
Excellent server,(bartender)
One meal was excellent. The combo dinners were dry, overcooked. The mole was enjoyable. 1 of 3 dinners were very good, the other two were poor.
It was a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy a drink and a tasty meal. Nicely done la boca!
I am glad to see that LaBoca is again allowing the use of the coupon codes with Restaurant.com!
