    Bocaza Mexican Grill is a great choice for Mexican Food. I came in to get street tacos, and ended up with the chicken enchiladas. I'm glad I did. They were delicious. Two choices in rice and your choice of three kinds of beans (refried, pinto or black) along with 3-4 sauces, varying in spiciness. Place is no frills. You order at the counter from pictures on the wall, sit at tables and chairs and enjoy a good meal. Horchata was alright, allthough it seemed a bit watered down - maybe I put too much ice in cup. Breakfast, lunch and dinner served. Prices affordable.

    When in this part of Aurora, you look for some delicious Mexican food. I came here by recommendation and I was so excited! I ordered the Mexican city taco order. You get 4 tacos for $7.50 . Yes, that's right $7.50. You can choose from chicken,steak,carnitas and Barbacoa. I got 2 carnitas, 1 Barbacoa and 1 steak. Then pick out your salsas and they'll give you limes with onion and cilantro on top. Their Carnitas was AMAZING. So tender, so juicy, I would recommend that over the rest. I also saw they had freshly made menudo ,which I wasn't able to order because the portion is massive. The workers here are SO sweet and nice, they all were so patient and pleasant with everyone's order. This was a great lunch stop, and I'll definitely come back to try out their breakfast. I heard it's even better.

    Well hidden in the back of a small, busy shopping center that has 2 other Mexican eateries. I pulled up around 9:30a, but decided to check out the reviews of the other 2 places. I quickly noticed the revolving door of customers coming in & out, as busy as any Starbucks! I hustled inside to a line about 9 deep with many others eating or waiting at small tables. The place is clean, bright, with clear poster menus & pics. The order process is exactly like Chipotle/Qdoba: you order each item & it's assembled down the line in front of you. All the prices were very reasonable, but the standard breakfast burritos were under $5 for choice of meat, potato/egg mix, green chile, cheese, & fresh avocado (optional)! I was so impressed by the service, food, & prices, I ended up ordering 2 different breakfast burritos & street tacos too (the burritos were very good, the street tacos were ok). Exceptionally friendly service, wide variety of choices (can't wait to try the Baja style tilapia fish tacos & pozole), reasonable prices, and fresh/tasty food!

    Not sure which came first, this place or Chipotle but they do it authentic and right here!! More variety with meats, actually well marinated, other fresh ingredients to add or subtract down the assembly line. Everything is under $9 too. Amazing. Five stars and more.

    Two words- SO YUMMY! I found this location using Yelp. Ordered a combination burrito. So flavorful and so much food. Taco salad was yummy. I also ordered chips and salsa. The chips were still warm in the bag so I knew they were fresh. The salsa wasn't chilled like most salsa but it was really yummy. The only thing missing was a margarita. I cannot wait to introduce my friends to this restaurant!!!

    Ordered 3 dozen of tamales. Very disappointed! The tamale is mostly masa dough, hardly any meat. A waste of money!

The sweet potato still my favorite dish, but I hand to day the queso funfido from the happy hour menu was a close 2nd. If you go 2-5pm, I can't recommend this enough. You have to get it. Same as my 1st time going, I love this restaurant for their great dishes and flavor profiles. I absolutely feel like I'm paying for the food, and not any atmosphere or showsmenship, which for me is an important factor when recommending a restaurant. Only small detail, we got the ceviche as our 4th dish. Given that is sweet due to the coconut milk, I feel this should have been last as a kind-of desert-like dish. Either way, still an absolute gem and must in town

The quality has never slipped and every menu change feels exciting and somehow even better than the last. The standouts are always the scallops and the sweet potato! Not ashamed to say I think about these two dishes all the time... And whatever fish they feature as a main is consistently incredible (it's been halibut recently). The chef's counter is hands-down the best experience. It's intimate and such a fun way to interact with the chefs. Also love that they offer an NA sparkling rosé! This is honestly pretty rare. This place deserves every bit of recognition and praise it gets. One of the most consistently exceptional dining experiences in Denver!!

The food was delicious! We got $2 chips and salsa off the happy hour menu and the queso con soyrizo (not on HH menu) which was served with warm tortillas. Honestly we probably didn't need all that because the tacos were so good I could've just filled up on more of the tacos, but still was a great meal! I ordered the lengua, pastor, and taco special (breaded shrimp). They were all so good. Think taco quality of a good street taco spot but with the ambiance of a cute tex mex bar. The bartender was great and made a solid marg ($8 on happy hour). You get a great deal on taco Tuesday but I'm sure you'd get great service and quality any day of the week!

Spend so much time parking and then waiting, at what point do you give up and leave empty handed? Restaurant is VERY LOUD. Finally got a table and ordered OFF MENU. Server agreed to substitute shrimp for my enchiladas and they were good! Fresh corn tortillas were the highlight. Ordered tres leches cake and enjoyed it too. Was a nice meal but just not worth all the hassle.

There is an al a cart option but I went full send and tasted almost the whole menu with my party.

Jordan our server and Brien the manager were bringing the A game of service to the Sunday morning. Was I out of place in my pre-baseball game day jersey? Not at all.
