Boca Loca's touts itself as a grocer and fine Mexican and African food. One shelving unit of groceries a grocer does not make. As for the restaurant part, well, it's definitely quick, and my food was good... but I'm a bit on the fence about Boca…More »

Alright, my server alone gets 5 stars. She was adorable!! Always attentive, and just a wee bit quirky making jokes and the like. Like with one of the other tables in the restaurant, a lady and her friend had settled in at a table near the window and…More »
