Boca Chica Mexican Restaurant has served the flavorful, authentic cuisine of Mexico since 1964.

Today, Boca Chica has grown substantially and is rated "one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities," according to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine’s March 2018 issue.The authenticity of the food is maintained by making everything from scratch, the old-fashioned way, with fresh ingredients. Even the fiery salsa is still made with fresh tomatoes, chiles, and that special Frias family touch. Our menu includes some of the more traditional foods such as guisados, sopes, carne asada, chile rellenos, and tamales. Taste is never compromised. We also have a full bar featuring the city’s best selection of Mexican beers and premium tequilas. Voted "Best Margarita" by City Pages.

If you're going to take your name from a badass like the patron saint of blacksmiths, you better be able to back it up. Baldamar marks the turning point where we usher in the new standard for style, service and steak. It means the menu’s made with old-world craft at its core and modern day meat eaters in mind — with flavors forged in fire and folded into pure primal perfection. It’s where every steak is aged 40 days and 40 nights for a taste of biblical proportion, and where crazy-fresh seafood means it was caught during your morning commute. At the bar sits every spirit imaginable, and someone who isn’t afraid to use them. This is more than a new steakhouse. It’s a line in the sand. It’s not just where you celebrate special occasions. It’s where you create them.*A 20% Service Fee is added to all groups of 8 or more.

    We went on a Sunday for lunch with my parents. My mom doesn’t eat meat and she loved the salad bar options. She also got salmon cooked to order. We had the standard menu and had a wonderful array of meat choices. The service was excellent! The staff was attentive and asked us what we wanted more of (meat selection). We will definitely come back!

    We ordered bruschetta as an appetizer, very tasty! We both ordered the Rib-eye, I ordered garlic mashed potatoes with it and he ordered the horseradish mashed potatoes. Our meals got switched. So I got his potatoes. I didn’t even notice, just thought they were bland. Apparently there was horseradish placed on it in the middle. I asked my boyfriend how his potato’s were and he said they were good. I asked him to try mine….he got a mouthful of horseradish, probably no potatoes, haha. That’s when we figured out the switch up on the potatoes. Not a big deal, we just laughed it off. I didn’t get to try the garlic mashed, they must have been good cause there were none left on my boyfriend’s plate lol. Anyway, the sauce that comes with it was so amazing! It was like a garlic cream sauce. I am still craving more! It was good on the steak, veggies and potatoes. The steak was very good quality and cooked to Medium Rare perfection. Definitely worth the $55 each. Our waiter, Clayton, was so professional and excellent. Overall a very pleasant experience! I’m sure we will be back in the future.

    I just wrote a review last week, but I have to let you know how wonderful the superfood salad was!!! It is great that something so nutritious can taste so good. My friend’s burger and my other friend’s turkey cranberry sandwich was also delicious. They both love the French fries, it was difficult to resist not eating some as they were willing to share. Our service was fantastic as well. Thank you, Jan Doepner PS. It was good to see the restaurant well attended, I think people are starting to discover what a treasure it is.
