About
Our Philosophy
"We are creatively infusing the traditional flavors of the Mediterranean with locally-sourced ingredients into an eclectic, unique menu."
Taylor Fisher, Executive Chef
The Tapas Experience
In Spain, tapas are much more than a collection of small plates and culinary delights - they represent a lifestyle and opportunity to share good times with friends in an unrushed, carefree manner.
Private Event Space
With the ability to accommodate large parties of 60 or less in a private space, Boca is the perfect place to host your next event.
