Boca Fiesta Gainesville

Visiting Gainesville for a film shoot and was told aboit Boca Fiesta. A few locals agreed it was a solid place and so I made it a point to go. Got there around 8? Didnt seem too busy but it was also raining. Had a good energy. Decided to sit at the bar. Ordered a beer and queso to start. Queso was good and came in a nice sized mini cauldron. Beer was in a mason jar and given the day I had, may have tasted extra nice. Before ordering I saw they had gator and knew I wanted it but also acknowledged that it was taco Tuesday. Their deal was out of a selection, 2 for $5. Pretty good deal. Choose between hard, soft and traditional. Ended up getting a hard gator, soft chicken and traditional pork. Food came out in a timely fashion. The gator was certainly my favorite of the three. Perfectly fried and the chipotle sauce with it was nice. The pork is shredded but didnt quite taste like carnitas. It seemed closer to a stew pork if that makes sense. It was good. The chicken kinda of fell flat for me, nothin special. I also didnt like the plain bed of lettuce in my gator taco as well as on the plate for said taco. It just, didnt do anything. Not enough sauce to coat and too much to pack into my taste hole. All in all, its a solid spot with solid prices but I wasnt blown away. Check it out, sit at the bar and have a taco/beer. The bartender, Lindley, was great!
