★★★★☆ 4.0 Renee Mercer · Mar 2026

We always enjoy the food and margaritas here and it’s a bonus when the singer is there. Service is so slow, they don’t return to the table for refills or to check on us. We’ve been here 4 times and it’s always the same. We have to go to the desk to check out since they don’t come back to the table to get our check. Sometimes it’s busy, even when it’s not it’s the same. We were there this week and I never even got what I ordered, but the others at our table did. We noticed there are a lot of pick up orders. Nice atmosphere and staff, just be prepared to wait.

Excellent food! I had an octopus and a marlin taco, my boyfriend had a chimichanga. The food had so much flavor and complexity, I could've kept eating! Our waitress was super sweet too 🥰

I have been critical of restaurants in Rio Rico before if you read my previous posts so La Bocanita was a very pleasant surprise. The place looks clean, well lit, very friendly staff. And great live music Two plates. One was the carne asada tacos with flour tortillas with refried beans and rice. I started with the meat. It was great!!! Not chewy, not overly salty. Seasoned well and not greasy. I added the rice beans, julienned cut lettuce, and pico to the taco and this was delicious. Everything went well, all the flavors complemented perfectly with out over powering anything. Good thing the plate had three tacos. The carne asada plate was a great one. Great initial impression. The other plate was the chimichanga with beef. It was HUGE! It had red sauce (enchilada style) over it with melted

This restaurant didn't disappoint! The oysters were the best we ever had, the ceviche was awesome as well. The fish seafood plate was very tasty the sauce that it was cooked in was amazing. Great service as well!
