    Picking up lunch for my cousin
    RoseMary F.

    This place has been in existence for 35+ years. My first visit was out of curiosity because I would see a line of people waiting, no matter what time of the day or night. They specialize in tacos and burritos. Choose your protein (Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Chicken, Carnitas, Lengua or Cabeza). The toppings are sour cream, onions, cilantro and guacamole. They will add a mound of freshly grated cheese that covers your plate. It is a mild monterey jack cheese that is creamy. It tastes superior to the pre-packaged cheese that is grated too fine that the flavor is lost. Their menu includes quesadillas and fully loaded nachos (good for two people). They have spicy red or mild green salsa. Picnic tables in front and on the side of the building are available to dine under the patio covering. A private parking lot is locatec behind the building. This small family-owned business is very clean. The employees wipe the tables and pick up the empty plates and cups every 30 minutes. I highly recommend this place for authentic soft tacos that you will love. Don't forget to tell 'em that Rosemary sent ya!

    4+ a small local no-frills neighborhood spot that serves Mexican food classics (tacos, burritos, nachos, and quesadillas). The people were really friendly here and the place itself was one of those stands where you walk up and order at a window and pick up your food at a different window with some seating around the outside. Stopped by here to get a burrito (carne asada) to go. Really good burrito that hit the spot and they really stuff that thing with the ingredients. I came a little after normal lunch time so there was zero line/ wait and parking was easy to find along the street right by the location. Price was very reasonable for what you get as well. Definitely a great spot to pick up a lunch or dinner when you are in the area and one of those spots where you probably would want to keep on your convenient eats rotation.

    I've been coming to Boca Del Rio since 1996. It's probably my favorite burrito in Los Angeles. I haven't been in a long time - my first bite took me back to high school. It tastes exactly the same. I always get the combo burrito with asada. I add everything - onions, cilantro, cabbage, guacamole, sour cream and cheese. I get the green salsa in the burrito and red salsa on the side. It's an art to eat the massive burrito because it can get messy. The service is always friendly and nice. I wish I lived closer so I can go more often. They are closed on Sundays.

    Burrito was fine. Tasted decent and the meat and beans and sour cream were nice. Although it was just a burrito for $14 and I was left a bit hungry still ‍. Tho the workers are friendly. Easy parking, quick place to stop for food.

    Paid $14 for an asada burrito w too much cheese + guacamole. Nowhere in the menu does it show a $14 burrito. Should be rated $$

    I didn't see any photos, what meats do they offer?

    Asada Pollo A pastor, cabeza y carnitas :)

    When are you extending your hours back to normal?

    Probably never!!! Menu prices are too expensive and not enough customers due to TJ restaurant rows everywhere surrounding them!!! Not like back in the day when the burritos were $5 and no illegal food vendors around!!!

    Are they still closing at 8pm everyday?

    For now yes. And they are closed on Sunday. Also, sometimes they will stay open a little past 8pm… 

    Is the drive thru still open?

    As of 2/18/2021 the drive thru is still open.

    Do they sell Carne Asada Fries?

    No fries, but they do have nachos

    Is this place still open, as of today?

    Yes, still open. Because of Covid the temporary hours are 10am-8pm. Hopefully we can extend the hours soon.

    Is Moca open? And if so what is the times?

    Monday thru Saturday 10:00 am to 8:00 pm

    Is boca Del rio permanently closed? I went there today and it was closed and I called the Covina…

    I was there Wednesday, they were open. Unless somethings changed since then. I dont think so.

We ordered the American breakfast, which is supposed to come with: eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes. Instead we got eggs, bacon, potatoes, beans and a pancake that was a mix between a cookie and dry corn bread. The orange juice is freshly squeezed with fresh SEEDS included. The over easy eggs were swimming in oil as well as the potatoes. Everything was just oily. They advertise their daily agua frescas on a hand written menu but when we ask for horchata they said "not today". Should've gone to the burger joint down the block instead. Waste of time and money. I'm giving it 2 stars because of good coffee and friendly servers.

It's the type of place that I would be stoked finding it, if I was on a road trip driving from California through Texas (and through New Mexico). It just has that certain quality of authenticity or how you would imagine a Mexican spot like you see in the movies or something. I came in for a late lunch so I was the only one in the restaurant so the service was pretty quick. The menu is full of those combination classics that you would see at certain Mexican restaurants. I ended up ordering the three tacos dorados combo. I thought the food was great. Because it wasn't busy at the time parking was easy to find on the street. I parked right out front.

You can park in the additional parking spots all around Shopper Ln. I have been a customer for many years and tried many delicious dishes. They serve a traditional Mexican open buffet at certain times. The waiting line is expected, but don't feel discouraged because it moves fast. The decor is vibrant enriched with colorful murals. The staff are very welcoming and genuinely warm. The restaurant has cozy and inviting ambience. Outdoor and indoor seating are available. I placed an online order for pickup. It was fast and convenient since I had friends coming for dinner. I ordered the following: - Burrito Panchon 5/5 Stuffed with carnita, beans and rice, served with cream, beans and guacamole. Huge portion! You can choose your protein. - Fajitas Cielo Mar Y Tierra 5/5 Marinated beef, shrimp, chicken. It served with sauteed bell peppers tomatoes and onions, rice, guacamole, beans and pico de gallo. It was smoky, savory and flavorful. - Vegetarian Enchiladas 5/5 Corn tortillas stuffed with bell pepper, corn, onion, carrot, cilantro, squash, and topped with a combination of cream and jack cheese. The portion was enormous. It was a very flavorful and savory. - Carna Asada 5/5 Flap meat marinated with homemade adobo. It served with pico de gallo, rice & guacamole. The meat was juicy and tender. It was such a delicious dish. - Empanadas 5/5 I chose chicken empanadas. It served with salad. The empanadas was crispy from outside and very flavorful. - Ensalada de Nopales 5/5 Diced cactus mixed with tomatoes, onion, lime, and cilantro. - Taquitos 5/5 It was crispy from outside with savory and juicy filling. - Taco de Cameron , taco de Pescado & taco de Birria 5/5 They were savory, juicy and delicious. - Beans 5/5 Topped with melted cheese, really delicious - Large Bionico Bowl 5/5 Fresh fruits like topped strawberries, mango, cantaloupe, banana, papaya, blueberries, apples, pineapple topped with granola and shaved coconut. It was rich, creamy. The fruits were fresh and sweet. It was heavenly! Every box was wrapped with layers of plastic wrap perfectly. I got a bag full of different types of salsa with my order and another bag with tortilla chips. The food portions were very generous. Every dish reflected authenticity and deliciousness.

Their cake was awful, very grainy. I replenished my watermelon drink with more watermelon. The servers were very friendly and attentive.
