Enjoyed dinner and some drinks here with a few friends before heading to the trail of terror in Wallingford. They had a spooky vibe going here too. I ordered the TOSTADAS DE CARNE which included Two crispy corn tortillas, beef, fresh guacamole, mixed greens, refried beans, and chipotle aioli for 15$ and it was Delicious . To drink I ordered a white SANGRIA for $8.00 ! We also ordered chip /salsa and guacamole. The guacamole was made fresh table side which was pretty cool. It was the drink special. Overall food was tasty and service was good. read more

First time, coming here with friends, and upon entering, the ambience is a little bit more casual, and intimate. There is a nice bar set up with plenty of dining seating We started off with white wine, sangrias, a mango margarita, and a mango jalapeño, margarita. The drinks had just enough kick to them, and they were all very tasty. The jalapeño mango was my favorite as I like a more spicy and sweet kick. We got chips and salsa and tableside guacamole made right in front of us! The salsa came out, warm, which I wasn't used to, but it was very good. It reminded me of the habichuelas (beans) when you make spanish white rice and beans. There were also fried plantains mixed in with the chips, which was a nice treat. I got the tacos de birria and a side of tostones and others got steak fajitas, a chicken quesadilla, and tostadas de carne. All of the food came out fresh and everything was very good. Our server was very friendly in accommodating and made the night flow easily. The bar was bit backed up, so our drinks took a while, but everything came out as it should. read more

Latin fusion tapas and cocktails right in Wallingford! I hadn't been back to this location since it was Ola, so it was great to see the slightly updated menu. My friends and I loved everything about our visit. While we sat indoors, there was also a nice outdoor patio and a great overall ambiance. An awesome DJ started spinning at 9 PM and brought the perfect energy to the night. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the bar had a lovely vibe. We shared a variety of tapas, everything was flavorful, came out quickly, and prices were reasonable. As someone who eats gluten-free, I really appreciated that there were solid GF options. I just wished that there were more people there for a Saturday night. The music and atmosphere deserved a bigger crowd. Still, we had no complaints and would definitely go back! read more

Visited this week on a Tues evening with my work buddies and loved the island ambiance! I prefer dim lights with a nice background and this spot gave it to me. We made it just in time for happy hour. It wasn't packed but a good amount of people were there. We were seated immediately and our waitress was nice and funny.Two of us enjoyed the white sangria, which was good but they also have red. There is a large amount of seating for all, intimate settings, at the bar and large groups. We got the guacamole and chips which was made fresh at our table, soo delicious and mofongo with shrimp for appy's. It was so good I didn't get pics before we devoured it, but I def will next time. It was a different style of mofongo made with sweet plantains but it was really good, we all loved it and the shrimp were seasoned to perfection. I got the Yuca Fries with pork and I loved it! My coworkers got tacos and quesadillas and everyone enjoyed their meals. It was quality food for a great price. Promise to take more pics next visit read more

So, it was our anniversary and we wanted to try a new spot out. We found Bocca Latin Fusion on OpenTable and Bocca won tonight! The restaurant was easy to get to, plenty of parking. We were greeted and seated straight away. I felt the music through my body. My hips started swaying to the beats, I LOVE THE VIBE! ( I dig that!) Our server, which I'm pretty sure was also an owner, Deb, was awesome! We ordered a few cocktails, my drink, the Cucumber Sin was so tasty. I had two and I felt niiiice! Moving on to the appetizers, the guac was fresh and served with a lovely mix of nacho chips and plantain chips. So yummy. Also ordered the pork arepas which were also freshly made and oh so tasty! Our entree was the Mixta for 2, which could've fed 4. Yes we had leftovers. I can't say enough about how perfect this dish is. The steak was perfect, the chicken breast, flavorful and juicy. Dessert you say? YES PLEASE!! I ordered the passionfruit tres leches. And it was perfect. My wife and son ordered the churros. Those were also amazing! I highly recommend paying Bocca a visit. I'm giving this establishment the highly sought after and coveted Mmmmmsk™ read more

Our first visit since the change from Ola to Bocca. Decor & atmosphere seemed pretty consistent with its predecessor & fitting to its Latin Fusion theme. Margaritas were EXCELLENT! My choice last night was the Seafood Paella For One. It consisted of generous amounts of shellfish, catch of the day, & Chorizo in a sea of Spanish Rice...enough for 3 meals. The service was also excellent. We'll be back! read more

Dined on a Tuesday night with friends. Not busy at all which gave the three of us the opportunity to enjoy our meals and engage in lengthy conversation. The service was amazing as was my entree , SHRIMP, CHORIZO AND MUSSELS on rice which was enough for 2 plus meals. Everyone else seems to have enjoyed their meals as well. Highly recommend to give this place a try. read more

Excellent find in Wallingford! If you're looking for good Latin food or a fun night out, I highly recommend it. The homemade guacamole at the table is a fun way to start the dinner but everything we had was delicious including the Lobster Quesadillas. And if you're looking for a great marg or cocktail, the drink menu has something for you as well. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more of the tapas options soon! read more

Came a few weeks ago and while the outside of the place (location and parking around it) didn't appear to be the best, the interior of it was very nice and well decorated! We sat down almost immediately and our waitress was friendly from beginning to end! She gave out suggestions after we looked at their extensive menu, and my fiancé and I ordered the birrias that were on the specials and the bacalao tacos. The birrias were quite hefty and tender! They weren't the most flavorful or moist ones we've had, but they were pretty good! Consome could've used some spice though!! The only question I had for the bacalao tacos was whether it be too salty and I was assured it wasn't! She was in fact right, and while I didn't want it overly salty I just wished it had a tad more salt (beggars can't be choosers). Either way it was fried nicely and was bigger than what I expected them to be! Think they still missed something, since you tasted mostly the bacalao. We also ordered a piña colada which was very pleasant! Overall the food was more than decent, the service was great, and the vibe was terrific too!! I'd come back again!! read more

Great looking place. The color changing LED may not be for everyone, but I liked them. Unfortunately the food and service were not up to par. I had a bland seafood paella . I could even not add salt because the bartender, who left my drink empty the entire time, never came back to ask . I can understand a bad day in the kitchen. But a bad day behind the bar coupled with food that was just OK would make me choose other places in the future. I was there 8/28 at 5:30 read more
