FROM OUR KITCHEN TO YOUR BOCA

We do serve tacos. But we serve gourmet food on a taco.

Specialties

Gourmet Tacos

All of our food is made fresh to order. In each of our varieties of tacos, we innovate and elevate the Mexican cuisine, bringing a taste of Sonora to Tucson.

Full Bar & Patio

Local, craft tacos means local, craft beer, including over very own La Sonorita in collaboration with Borderlands Brewing. But that’s not all. We have over 40 tequilas, vodkas, scotches and whiskies to enjoy at the bar or out on our dog-friendly patio.

Original Salsas

We don’t follow the rules when it comes to the salsa department. Created fresh daily, each new flavor is an eclectic pallet of colors and original ingredients.

Fresh Chips

What goes better with salsa than warm, crispy chips? Our chips are always fried-to-order, making them as fresh and flavorful as our tacos and salsas.

Specials

El Menu De La Chef

Every Wednesday Chef Maria will release a new special menu for the week!

“Tucson-born chef Maria Mazon creates new, fresh salsas daily with ingredients she grows behind the restaurant. The Mexican-raised chef’s one-of-a-kind tacos and accompaniments are a must-try, and she makes it a point to pair with local beverages.”

– USA Today –

“Mazon says she was driven to cook after working in Americanized Mexican restaurants and witnessing the horror of plates 'smothered in yellow cheese and sour cream.'"

– Washington Post –

"Hit pause at Boca Tacos. The chef and owner, Maria Mazon, makes everything from the tortillas to the salsas from scratch."
