Boca Chica Mexican Restaurant has served the flavorful, authentic cuisine of Mexico since 1964. It was then that Guillermo and Gloria Frias opened the doors to their new restaurant that seated only 28 patrons. Today, Boca Chica has grown substantially and is rated "one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities," according to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine’s March 2018 issue.The authenticity of the food is maintained by making everything from scratch, the old-fashioned way, with fresh ingredients. Even the fiery salsa is still made with fresh tomatoes, chiles, and that special Frias family touch. Our menu includes some of the more traditional foods such as guisados, sopes, carne asada, chile rellenos, and tamales. Taste is never compromised. We also have a full bar featuring the city’s best selection of Mexican beers and premium tequilas. Voted "Best Margarita" by City Pages.

This was one of the best meals we have ever had! The service was amazing from the moment we sat down. We had delicious appetizers, drinks, entrees and desserts. Even our pickiest kiddo who has lots of food allergies was happy! He said he wanted to go back for every meal. If you’re heading to Minneapolis make a reservation here! And Hazelwood, if you are looking to open a new location please come to Madison, WI’

I absolutely love this restaurant. We have one server that’s our favorite. I gave it a 4 for the service because of our last visit. Our server was not very attentive until the very end. I will from now on ask for a specific person when we go.

This was a great experience for our 8 person turned 9 person table with no notice for the restaurant. Loved that it was a large circle table for conversation in our group. Would definitely do my holiday lunch for customers at Boca Chica again!!!!
