Why we’re here and what we do:

Recent research has revealed the true reasons that dinosaurs went extinct! It turns out that our pre-historic pals were suffering from a crucial taco shortage which wiped out the entire population! When we learned this frightening fact and then realized there was not a single place to get a taco in all of downtown Gainesville, we felt that it was our duty as responsible Gainesvillains to act fast before we met the same sad fate as our comically over-sized dino-friends!

On the 5th of May we got the keys to 232 SE 1st ST, a beautiful historic building right in the heart of our fair city, and promptly started to scrub and sweep and slice and stir and sautee’ and simmer and shake and squeeze! Three weeks later we opened the doors for business, providing our friends and neighbors with delicious tacos, burritos, taco salads, nachos, pizzadillas and more, all while keeping in mind that both carnivores and herbivores require sustenance to survive!

“Ok, ok, that’s all well and good”, you might say, with a mouthful of tacos, “but can I get something to drink around here?”

Excellent question!

And also: Of course!

We not only have soda pop, iced tea, coffee and an extensive beer selection, we also proudly serve fresh-squeezed lemonade and limeade, draft Abita root beer in a frosty mug and… drum roll, please…our very own fresh-squeezed, agave-sweetened, Boca Margarita! No joke! Not into tequila? Well, we’ve got a full liquor bar too!

“Ah yes, that hits the spot. How about something for my sweet tooth?”

Why don’t you go ahead and see what 10 flavors of locally-made and unbelievably delicious Sweet Dreams ice cream we’re featuring at the moment? Why don’t you get a scoop floated with some root beer in one of those frosty mugs?

Down here at Boca Fiesta, we use the guiding principle of trying to create the kind of place we’d want to go to, the kind of place everybody will feel welcome, because we wouldn’t want even a single soul to face extinction due to insufficient taco consumption. We all have to eat food every day for the rest of our lives, so we might as well have some fun in the process! Thank you Hogtown locals for an amazing summer and for such a warm welcome to the neighborhood. See you soon!
