BOCA CHICA MEXICAN RESTAURANT HAS SERVED THE FLAVORFUL, AUTHENTIC CUISINE OF MEXICO SINCE 1964. MY MOTHER AND FATHER, GUILLERMO AND GLORIA FRIAS, OPENED THE DOORS WELCOMING CUSTOMERS TO OUR NEW RESTAURANT, THAT SEATED ONLY 28 PATRONS.


BOCA CHICA WAS NAMED BY MY FATHER, GUILLERMO, AFTER A SMALL TOWN ON THE GULF OF MEXICO WHERE HE SPENT MANY MEMORABLE TIMES. “BOCA CHICA”, TRANSLATED, MEANS “LITTLE MOUTH OF THE RIVER”. TODAY, BOCA CHICA HAS GROWN SUBSTANTIALLY AND IS RATED “ONE OF THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANTS IN THE TWIN CITIES,” ACCORDING TO THE MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL MAGAZINE’S MARCH 2006 ISSUE.
