I cannot personally review the food, but I can say, for finding a random place off the side of the freeway, it is shockingly a good time sipping on a ice cold horchata while taking in the ambiance of a gas station parking lot, from a little fold up table.

The store has a butcher counter, small grocery section, ready to eat food made to order, and a bbq master waiting to grill your carne asada. The birria bombs are located behind the counter. WOW! This was so incredibly easy to prepare. The meat, water, and the bomb, that's it. The flavor was really good. For me, it was a little on the spicy side, but my husband thought it was the perfect amount of heat. My only word of caution is use the shoulder or chuck roast it recommends. I didn't have either of those at home, but I did have a 3.5 hunk of London broil, so I used that. I had to keep it in the crock pot for an extra 2 hours to get the meat tender, but it was worth it.

Just spoke to Alejandra I will be calling to speak with Areli the manager because they embarrassed me and my family at party of 9 that they first try sitting us on the back table and we had a baby so the high chair wouldn't work than they moved us to the side table but that's when Alejandra came and told us we had to get up and wait outside for an hour because she refused to move one chair that we needed to sit . Keep in mind she said that chair were for other guest that'll eventually come (a table of 4) honestly unprofessional I told them I tried calling multiple times no answer also we were celebrating a bday from family from out of state that came in. I left my number with the guy/kid that was the host in the front hopefully the manager or owner gets to this they close at 6pm we were there at 5pm and told us there was an hour wait when clearly there was hardly anyone there smh. read more

Initially, there was a delay in getting seated as the original waiter forgot about us despite promising to prepare a table. After reaching out to another waiter, who was more responsive and friendly, we finally got seated. However, there was an issue with plates not being cleared after each course. Despite these hiccups, it was our first time at Bochas x Tacoso, and we enjoyed a variety of appetizers and entrees including quésabirria, mango ceviche, tacos, mixtos, and caramelo. One highlight was the toros bocha, a unique twist with stuffed chile, cheese, and shrimp. To accompany our meal, we had watermelon sangría and orchata. The interior was inviting with cool decor and charming signage and lights. read more

The food and service have noticeably declined since our initial visit when the restaurant first opened. While the ambiance is charming and stylish, the quality of the food leaves much to be desired, especially given the steep prices. Charging $25 for a drink is quite excessive, especially when you're not in Vegas. Additionally, the a la carte taco option has been removed, forcing customers to pay $18 for three tacos without the ability to mix and match meat options. read more

Reading through one of the three-point reviews, we decided to take a shot anyway since it was only marked down two points for some issues with the server. So in we go.

The place is actually quite beautiful with wonderful color schemes aren't very comfortable chairs and tables sit around. The hostess, who I believe her name was Angelina was incredibly polite, energetic and helpful. Got a seated got us water got us chips and salsa while our server Jackie was finishing up her tables in the private party to come out to us. Jackie was quick, efficient, friendly, and checked on us as often as we needed to, which wasn't much From a food perspective, we got the lunch specials for Gorditas and I tried the combo with a corn, tamale chicken enchilada, and Carne Asada taco. The presentations were simply stunning, but more than that they were functional. All of the flavors mixed in created some exceptional dishes. I have honestly never had a corn tamale as good as that one and I've lived here most of my life. The chicken enchilada was so incredibly well seasoned with just enough cheese on top to add a little extra punch along with the Crema, and all the other flavors. Tortilla bread was perfectly balanced with the meat, tasting so good you didn't eat any of the toppings. But the toppings turned it into one heck of an adventure of flavor. Yes I know. I'm waxing a little philosophically here, but the food really did impress the hell out of us. Service was great, food was great, presentation was great, environment is great we recommend coming here and we will be back. Price wise for an upscale Mexican restaurant this one's right in line around $16-$20 a plate foremost dishes. Of course you can spend more, of course you can spend less.
