   Great menu selection, including cocktails. We were there for the last hour of HH, so loved that! All of the food was flavorful, but over salted. Great service. Very loud “background” music.

   Ceviche smelled a little fishy and texture was off. The beef and pork were hammered ... cooked past "well done," dry and tough. The chicken was inedible it was SO dry. Expensive and not worth it by quality of food brought out. Service was poor as well. We continually had to get the attention of waiters for water refills, silverware after clearing 1st dishes, etc. We were given tiny app plates to share the parrillada, which made cutting the meat a super challenge as well. This was a disappointing dining experience altogether.

   Dinner and drinks for my birthday were enjoyed. Food was greatly prepared. Could of had a little more attention from wait staff (they were under staffed on servers). Also, my birthday was mentioned in reservation but staff did not acknowledge it in any way.

   Food was great and came out quickly after order. However, the music was loud enough that it was difficult to hold a conversation over. The music level increased a few times during the hour-ish that we were there as well. I hate to sound like an old person complaining about noise, but I had to talk quite loud for my date to hear me, and I had to ask her to repeat herself a few times because I missed something. We weren't pressured to leave, but our server did tell us they had needed our table for another reservation after we'd been there for close to an hour. Its a small restaurant so I understand. Clearly though its not a place where you could hang out for hours. Possibly at the bar instead of a booth?

   I made my reservation for 5 people when I arrived they had a table for 4 people the server wanted to seat 3 people in a place for 2 hello! She got upset when I told her that the table was too small! I really felt discriminated against and with Terrible service, you could not eat well at the table, the food for 5 people on small table omg!!!did not fit, it was a very bad experience, the server has zero kindness like the other waiters. Anyways, I will not return there.

    The food was amazing and delicious, but the service was not as good. We had too look around and try really hard to catch the waitress’ attention every-time we needed something. Also the drinks were not that good. Anyways, the steaks were pretty good and made the whole experience better!

    Cute place, nice staff, great drinks, very good food. If you are booking this place be forewarned- they don’t serve those cheesy Argentinian pizzas at this restaurant. Even though they are listed on the menu here in OpenTable. This should be corrected on the OpenTable menu.

    The place was so loud we couldn’t hear ourselves think, let alone talk to each other. The waiter couldn’t even hear our order correctly. This is NOT a place to go with friends and have a conversation, because you’ll be screaming at one another. It’s as loud as a night club. The only reprieve was when there was a break in between songs on the speakers. At one point , we asked our waiter if they could lower the music, but either he couldn’t hear me ask the favor, or didn’t think it was important enough to act on it. The food was ok, but the one downtown is so much better. We will never go back to this one

    We came here for SR week. Lively ambiance and energetic music (it is a restobar after all). Langostinos Al ajillo was my favorite dish. However was a bit disappointed with the Arroz con Mariscos as it was under seasoned and rice was a bit undercooked. The Churrasco came with a huge serving of fries (great value) and the meat was tender and flavorful. Service was great.

    Service was friendly, but the food was not very good, unfortunately. I had chicharron ribeye cubes as an appetizer, and it was way overdone, tough and dry. The Paella was very watery and lacked flavor. The menu sounded exciting, but the food was not executed well, so I left disappointed.

    The place is more casual than we even expected. We weren’t dressed up but we could’ve dressed down quite a bit. The drinks were great. Food was pretty good. I did order meat and I don’t eat a lot of meat, so maybe I would’ve been happier with something else. The two people I was with seemed to like it better than I did.

    The place looked great and had a nice menu and cocktail list. However, the music was SO LOUD that the 5 of us couldn't have a conversation, so we had to leave. The staff was very nice and understanding about it -- I'm sure we weren't the first people to comment on it. I'd love to come back if they could turn the music down to a dull roar :)

    We were offered free drinks while they made us wait an extra hour after our reservation time to be seated. Then the bartender angrily disputed this at the end of the night (asking if he should call the police, calling us entitled, and more). Then when I left, they used the name on my credit card to follow me on social media accounts. Not worth the time or money. Food was average at best.

    The food was really good overall but the service was horrible. Half of the menu was not available - understandable for a late Labor Day reservation. However, we sat at our table for a full 45 minutes at the ent of the meal while our server socialized with friends at the bar. We finally had to flag down another server and found out there was an automatic gratuity added for other party of 5! Now we understand why the server screwed us and paid no attention. He didn’t care because he was getting a tip anyway. And nowhere on the website does it say there is an automatic gratuity. Disappointing to say the least.

    We had family visiting from out of town and came here for dinner. There were five of us and two are Argentinian. We all loved the food, ambiance, and appreciated the service from the manager/bartender/server- he was fabulous, especially since the restaurant was busy. We had calamari, beef empanadas, entrana (skirt steak), which was tender, Milanese, canelones, dulce leche crepes and flan - all were delicious! We can’t wait to return!

    Boca was a poor choice for catching up with old friends. Music at ear-splitting level even after request to turn down made conversation very difficult. As the room filled, everyone at every table trying to shout over music raised the general noise level way past uncomfortable. Inattentive waitstaff: had to leave the table and approach one of them any and every time we needed something. Food was excellent and well-priced.

    While the décor was attractive, the music was so loud that it required shouting to hear one another at the table. The server, who was also the bartender, had difficulty remembering our order as he was taking it and then returned to the table two more times to confirm it, and yet we still never got (or were charged for) one of the dishes we had ordered. The food was good, but not good enough to overcome all the other issues.
