Sit in the patio if you can! On Tuesday they have taco deals on chicken and beef tacos. Drinks were good, too! Great vibe and great prices for downtown.

I love the variety of wild game! The camel flautas were so yummy we came back the next week to have them again!

The best salsa i have ever had. Every month i come in and look at the chips and salsa and wonder why i liked them so much. As soon as i'm in my swcond or third bite, there is a party in my mouth.

They have a great standard menu, but an even better exotic selection. Form grub stuffed poblano's to rattlesnake and rabbit, you are sure to find a unique item to eat here.

If you enjoy actual mexican food, beware. Atmosphere is fun, kitchen serves late (after 11pm). Guacamole will be served as split avocado with a potato masher. You have to "make" it yourself.

Try the mint margarita. Just don't have more than three--they've got a bit of a kick to 'em. Or better yet, have more than three, and then have the best night of your life.

Breakfast burrito is heaven. Eggs, cheese, rosemary potatoes, pico. Enough said.

I remember when this place used to be a Mexican restaurant... Now they have cheeseburgers and pizza on the menu. Mashed potatoes is one of the options for "sides." Also,they have the worst salsa evers

Their "funky" music makes me want to run far away but they have great outdoor seating and are right next to the hippodrome downtown. The salsa also tastes like ketchup...

Forego the lime and cilantro dressing...the Orange and rosemary dressing is also very tasty.

Want to discover the exotic side of Boca Fiesta? Ask your bartender for a Passoã Pineapple: Passoã + pineapple juice.

Definitely try the jalapeño margarita--it's not spicy, just deliciously fresh tasting.
