The SceneHundreds of area office workers and residents call this bright, happy restaurant their second home. During the lunch and dinner hours, tables can be hard to come by, so many patrons take their tacos and quesadillas to go. Speedy counter service ensures that diners get what they want--and fast.
The Food
The kitchen's "time-honored recipes" yield authentic, smoky tamales and hefty burritos filled with tender marinated chicken and steak. Every item on the menu is made daily using fresh ingredients, making Boca Grande a huge step above Taco Bell. An order of enchiladas--fresh corn tortillas filled with cheese and a choice of grilled chicken, pork, steak or vegetables plus refried beans and rice--is truly a meal in itself. Best of all, everything on the menu costs less than $4, including a huge basket of crunchy tortilla chips with freshly mashed guacamole.

Insider Pages Reviews for Boca Grande Taqueria
That is the extent of my Spanish on the subject, and that is exactly what Boca Grande is, just so-so. The burritos aren't terrible, but they aren't great either. The guacamole is bland and the chicken was really fatty on my visit. Do yourself a favor and walk a couple blocks to Anna's, it will be worth your time.

I ordered an al pastor quesadilla and my only complaint is that there was not pineapple. Otherwise it was one of the best quesadillas I have ever had

It's hard to get burritos in a place that doesn't feel like hokey Tex Mex. Boca Grande feels more like a small restaurant in Mexico than most places do. Their platters are pretty under-rated as people tend to do autopilot and just go with the burritos. Definitely worth a stop in if you are in the Coolidge Corner area.

Big burritos, good selection. Average burrito place.. better selection and bigger burritos than boloco but not better taste. Alright for lunch or very casual dinner. It's an order and then sit kind of place. Great location, nice people. But I'd rather qdobas or boloco I think
