is it still there? it was great last year, probably the best burritos i've ever had. and sierra nevada (fuck you and your shit beer) for about $2 compared to about £5!

has the menu changed at all? this year i'm going to try the gator burrito i think.

Boca is still there. I'd like to see more bands play there this year, or at least in the patio behind it (which I think might technically be a different bar).

I think the food there is only OK, but my wife HATES their food.

I only had the vegan options but they were delicious. Wait was long, but I don't doubt that.

I had a gator burrito last year, it was OK but I wasn't that fussed. The strawberry lemonade was top notch, though.

I didn't attempt to go near Boca during Fest, but I probably go once a week the rest of the year, the menu has a few newish things, but it's the same for the most part. They're not the best burritos, but they're pretty good, and the atmosphere is great, and you can't forget the root beer on tap and the fab margaritas either.

That "burrito pizza" was pretty retarded. All the did was serve a regular burrito openface. What the fuck?

I loved the veggie burrito I had there last year but I was pretty bloody hungry at the time and anything would have tasted good. I certainly wanna go back.

Wasn't impressed with the sound on that stage out the back though! It would be great place to see bands if they could improve on it a bit.

Gator burritos were a highlight for me last year. I was sad, though, that they were out of the weird meat of the month by that time, I was all about the jackalope. If I'm not able to make it to Fest because of my hospital bills this year, missing Boca Fiesta is going to be one of my main regrets, along with the arepas at Flaco's.

I bet arepas would be OK to send in the mail.

I thought their burritos were excellent. Boca's tempeh burritos are where it's at! Ingest THAT with a Sierra Navada.

It was yummy in my opinion, and they had...jalapeno margarita's or something like that? They were good. Plus the lemonade...scrummy.
