I absolutely love their chicken nachos! As you are delving into the cacophony of ingredients, cheese and chicken, it seems you run into chips that are perfectly covered 100% with cheese and other yummy stuff! My goodness, how my tongue and teeth dance to the flavors and textures!! So much foood!!
You can use some of the nacho topping the next day, for breakfast, to make heuvos rancheros!
I ordered online for pickup, and they wrote me the sweetest bon appetite note!! I love it!!Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Feb 13, 2020Previous reviewThis place is a gem!! The servers and bartenders have a flair to them, and whoever is making the food in the back deserves a raise!
I have been here many a time, and I have no complaints!
A rainy night, and I saunter in after contemplating how to satisfy the messages coming from my stomach. This place will hit the spot.
A large party of friends is finishing up their dinner and laughing out loud. Inside, the maitre d takes my take-out order, so I don't have to wedge my into the crowded bar.
There are no spots left at the bar, which is my favorite place to eat here. It's relaxed, the food and drinks are close, and the barkeeps entertain.
Get the nachos!!
They have beef, chicken and veggie options, so there are easy choices for everyone!
All food here is deemed DELICIOUS!!
If you have been drinking, and want delicious food to keep you going, stumble over here and satisfaction will find you!
Highly recommended!! - Feb 8, 2024
The food is usually pretty good, and most of the servers are very friendly. I have eaten in the actual restaurant and next door at The Backyard, and both experiences are similar. The ambiance is nice, especially in the outdoor area. I wouldn't come here just to eat again but the food is pretty good if you're here for trivia or another event. Definitely recommend the cheesy rice as a great snack!

Very, very, very mid mexican food.
Super americanized and even the "extras" are scams. I was charges $2.00 for both me and my fiancé getting the cheese in the picture below..... Is the cheese in the room with us?
DO NOT ORDER CHEESE, it's literally a scam, and the waiter told me I was expecting too much when I asked for more.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - May 1, 2023
First time eating here and I don't know why I don't go more often! The outside atmosphere is really chill and perfect for a date night or dinner/drinks with your friends. The chorizo chimichanga actually shocked me by how flavorful the toppings made it, and it definitely ranks on my top 3 favorite chimichangas. The breakfast burrito is also good, exactly what you'd expect from a breakfast burrito. Definitely recommend boca fiesta!!

My friends and I came for a trivia girls night. We got the $5 tacos and appetizer nachos by the restaurant before going around back for the trivia night. I recommend the hot sauce with the tacos. They aren't the best, but are such a great deal it's impossible to turn down. It was nice to see a great environment of people relaxing and enjoying food.

Tucked away in the heart of downtown, Boca Fiesta is a locally-owned Mexican-inspired restaurant. I went with some friends on a Friday night and found the menu to be really eclectic. I ordered gator burrito which was hefty in size and had perfectly deep-fried bites of gator tail with pico de gallo, beans, cilantro, and rice. Where else are you going to see a burrito with fried gator? While we didn't get drinks, their online menu shows that they have an extensive tequila selection. So if you're a margarita connoisseur, you should definitely check them out. There's also daily specials on drinks and food. Overall I had a good experience and plan to return to Boca Fiesta soon.

Great food, great atmosphere, our server though has a questionable attitude.
Would recommend this place but bring in your own water and straw.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 24146335Jul 26, 2022
The food here is actually really good! This is a common spot for college students to get drink deals, so it can get VERY busy on mondays. They have karaoke out back most nights which is great fun. They also have access to a room with a ton of pool tables. Overall a great place to hangout with friends and get some food. I loved my time here

ZERO STARS!! HORRIBLE!!
Don't waste your time here, they should go out of business.
Came here to celebrate my 21st birthday with some friends, and they ruined it.
The person working the door took my friends ID and refused to give it back. She is actually the rudest person you will ever meet. Absolutely ruined my birthday dinner and did not care. It's Gainesville, a college town, everyone goes everywhere without a problem. She acts like she's some famous bouncer in Miami.
After dinner I went up to her again to say it's my birthday and I feel bad because I told my friends to come and she cut me off mid sentence and said "that's your problem. You're not getting your friends ID back" and walked away.
Automatic 20% gratuity because we had a table for 15. The waitress took that to her advantage!! Service was horrible. She forgot everything and we had to ask 10 times to get anything.
They made the check so complicated and refused to split it more than 7 ways.
Ambiance sucked, we were seated outside where it was hot as hell and wet from rain.
Food was small and sucked.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 2
