Service was great, even though we were given one less menu until 5 mins later. Food was super super average, we are huge Mexican food eaters and this was subpar. We ordered the Al pastor bowl and the enchiladas vegetales. The flavors didn’t do it for us and the portions was small and expensive for the kind of restaurant it was. I understand it’s a new restaurant so I’d be willing to give it a few months before I return. Beers are well priced and we might return for another cold corona if nothing else.
Absolutely fantastic! Stopped at Boda for lunch and everything exceeded expectations. The team was so nice and helpful guiding us through the menu. They make nearly everything in-house—including their tender tortillas tinted red with a little beet juice (a cool touch). We really enjoyed the pork tamale: yummy filling with a sweetness to the masa which was a surprise. My shrimp tacos were delicious—perfectly cooked shrimp with fresh toppings like sliced radishes for crunch. My husband devoured his tacos (al pastor is his favorite) and said they were all spot-on. The fresh chips and house-made salsas/sauces were outstanding—super unique and flavorful. The quality really stands out because nothing is frozen or microwaved. We'll definitely be regulars—highly recommend a visit if you're in Tampa!
We tried out Boda today and it was amazing! Everything we had was delicious. The waitress was very attentive and friendly with us, the inside was so clean and charming. The food came out fast and hot. I wish we had one closer we would eat here so much! It’s definitely worth the trip over from a surrounding county just to get that authentic taste you will want to come back for more!
I can only say that this place is a work in progress. I gave it a shot and so I don't know how much longer I should wait, but my experience was not good, the food was prepared so that the vegetables were raw, it was very pretty to look at but the vegetables were way too crunchy. I will give you guys another chance. You just opened, so please listen and do better. My first dish was returned to the kitchen. - Beautiful but super crunchy veggies. 2nd dish was better, not great. I hope my pictures show your food is beautiful. Give me my money back and I will try again, because it was not a good eating experience. It was supposed to be a special treat.
Yum! Stopped by for lunch today and everything we ordered was delicious. Super fresh and flavorful. I love that it’s in the old Taco Bell building. It has been beautifully renovated and is clean and inviting. Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes. On this visit we tried the tamale with carnitas, chicharron, black beans and white rice, guacamole and chips, a shrimp taco, caldo de res soup, and flan for dessert. 10/10
