The Scene
Hundreds 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.

Okay first, if anyone reads the review about them not having salsa you need to remeber that during that time that review was written tomatoes we re-called and nobody had them. They make everything fresh there, so you can expect them to not have items when there is a national health concern on those items. Now for the food. It's great, not amazing, but better then good most of the time. I have been going there every so often for about 10 years. I have had few bad experinces. They are far better then that national chain Qdoba, and have a bigger selection. The prices are great for the portions they serve. You can get stuffed for under 10 bucks and have left-overs. If your short on time or money, or you just want a good quick meal, this is one place you really need to try.

Anna's is still the best but, Boca Grande is smart to copy their model. While authentic, it's not gonna blow your mind. But for 4 to 6 dollars you can get a loaded burrito to last you all day.
