    Hot sauces! An extra 50 cents each but they were all good.
    Doug M.

    Stopped here for dinner while staying in the hotel next door....it was a Monday night...also known there as BOGO margaritas night. Drinks were a good deal and good! Wife had the steak bowl and I went with the ground beef burrito. Good was decent...not amazing but better than Chipotle! All in all a good stop.

    This is a fun spot for Mexican food. The decor is colorful and original. The service was friendly. The food was very good. The pricing is a little different in that you pay for everything individually, including the chips and some of the entree toppings. The guacamole is a make-your-own and I think would be better made for you.

    One of the top must try places in GNV during Fest and it did not disappoint. I think the whole rest of my group got the breakfast burritos so those must be good but I wanted to try something with a bit more flair. Everything was excellent. Disappointed that I didn't get to try the guac, it was at the other end of the table and never made it down to me, but the queso was very good. Will definitely come back.

    Street corn..straight outta Mexico!!! Obligatory..don't skip it!!! You're welcome!!

    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!!

    Cheesy TVP empanada and cheesy rice

    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!

    I really love this place! Food is amazing & service is great! The only thing i will say is that their drinks are STRONG which some people dont mind but i couldn't even drink the margarita i ordered because it was straight liquor

    Chimichanga
    Amie S.

    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!!

    Birria Tacos

    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.

    Gator and steak street style tacos.

    I had higher hopes for this places. The drinks were ok. Not that strong. I had a Mexican mule. It was tasty. We tried some tacos. The gator was good but the taco itself was bland. The steak taco had good flavors but not amazing. We ordered guac and it's a make your own style. Like you actually do all the work. Interactive dining. Thanks. At least it was fresh. I was not a fan of the elote. It tasted like Parma cheese was rubbed on it and the corn was barely there.

    Gator bites

    Linley and Antony at the bar were the best. I order 3 drinks the Mexican Mule (the bitters ruined this drink for me), the mojito, and the rosemary lemonade (they recommended with gin instead of whiskey) it was my absolute favorite drink. I ordered elotes, a beef empanada and after bites. The elotes weren't true to elotes but they had great flavor. The empanada was huge but delicious and the gayer bites were my absolute favorite! I also had 2 tacos 1 steak taco street style and one shrimp taco boca fiesta style. Both tacos were good but I've had better tacos so I'm not too crazy about them. Overall I had a great experience the entire time and will definitely be back.

The atmosphere is just the best and I always have a good time! Seating is first come, first serve or seat yourself situation. So if there is a big game, you should get there a couple hours early to ensure you get a seat. Otherwise you will be wondering the restaurant trying to pounce on an open seat the second you see one. We actually arrived 2.5 hours before the game even started and almost all the seats were taken already. While this can be a little chaotic, it really adds to the experience of eating here on a game day! It was absolutely PACKED for the national championship, people were even bringing chairs from home to sit outside. We ended up sitting at a small outdoor bar. Our bartender or server, Maddie, was excellent. She made sure we were satisfied the whole time and did a great job checking in on us. She was also super friendly and great to talk to! Considering how busy it was, the food didn't take too long to come out. When it is super busy, you can order food at the bar (inside or outside one) and don't need to have a table to receive service. The staff did a great job keeping up with everything and making sure things were running as efficiently as possible. For the food, the five of us started with an order of mozzarella sticks and their famous buffalo chicken dip. The mozzarella sticks are a new menu item and feature golden-fried mozzarella sticks, crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside, served with ranch marinara. These were really, really good, with a nice cheese pull and the perfect amount of breading. I was quite surprised with how tasty these were! The Buffalo chicken dip consists of pulled chicken mixed with buffalo wing sauce, melted cheddar, pepper jack, and cream cheese, finished with ranch and an extra kick of hot sauce, served with tortilla chips, celery, and carrots. This was AMAZING and a perfect starter for the table to share. Served in a cast iron skillet, the portion is huge and the dip is super flavorful and creamy. There weren't enough chips served with the dip for all of us, but our server was happy to give us a complimentary tray of chips. I can easily see why this is a favorite and I will definitely be ordering this next time I come here! I also got a side Caesar salad and thought that was great as well. It was a nice portion, with fresh romaine, shredded Parmesan cheese, croutons, and capers. We ordered our entrees around kickoff, I ended up getting the Founder's Club Sandwich. The Founder's Club included a grilled chicken breast topped crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, provolone cheese, served on toasted sourdough bread, with a side of swamp sauce. All the entrees come with fries, unless you want to upgrade to another side or request not to have them. I really enjoyed this sandwich. The chicken had a nice char to it and was surprisingly juicy. I appreciated the sourdough bread over a regular bun as well. The subtleness of the provolone cheese and the fresh tomato were great too! Overall, we had an awesome time watching the CFB national championship at The Swamp. The atmosphere and vibes are unmatched. Service was awesome and the workers there are so on top of things. Food hit the spot and the Buffalo chicken dip was our favorite. Can't wait to come back!!

Place was clean, food was OK, yes just OK and wasn't even close to being served all together. The third plate was served after we finished all the other dishes.

Especially for the prices ! Too many options to go back and have another bad experience.

Drinks were included with the event, and I ordered a Tito's with club soda and lime, but something was off. Not sure what they mixed in, but it tasted unusually sweet, almost like it had added sugar or syrup--which was unexpected for such a simple cocktail. On the plus side, we tried the chips and guacamole, and they were really good--fresh, flavorful, and a great snack to share. Overall, it's a good spot if you're looking for a social, energetic atmosphere, but the drinks didn't quite hit the mark for me. Might give it another try for the food or a different cocktail.
