This is a high-energy, borderlands-inspired taqueria where Sonoran street food meets boundary-pushing flavor combinations. Chef Maria Mazon channels her childhood memories of Sonora into a menu that completely rejects yellow cheese and sour cream in favor of fresh, market-driven ingredients. Grab a seat on the colorful, dog-friendly patio and prepare for a fast-paced meal dictated by the heat of the kitchen.
★ The Legend
Chips & Salsa
This starter features warm, fry-to-order red corn tortilla chips paired with a rotating flight of four wildly creative, small-batch salsas. Chef Maria Mazon crafts these daily using unexpected ingredients like banana habanero, fresh garlic with chai tea, or honey-pickled jalapeño.
◆ Fan Favorite
Macho Taco
This heavy-hitter wraps grilled, seasoned carne asada and melted cheese inside a roasted Anaheim chile, essentially serving a deconstructed chile relleno on a tortilla. Regulars always order this alongside a cold local craft beer to balance the rich, smoky heat of the pepper.
● Chef's Pick
Tacos de Rajas
This vegetarian masterpiece features fire-roasted Anaheim and poblano peppers sweated in plastic bags to lock in moisture, then simmered with sweet corn in a rich cream and Monterey Jack cheese sauce. Chef Maria Mazon has publicly shared this recipe as a personal favorite that showcases the comforting, traditional side of Sonoran home cooking.
◇ Hidden Gem
Boca Balls
Most first-timers skip straight to the taco list, but regulars know to start with these crispy, deep-fried chipotle mashed potato bites coated in crunchy Panko breadcrumbs. They are served hot with a proprietary, smoky Boca dipping sauce and are designed to be shared immediately while the center is still molten.
✦ Off the Menu
Macho Style
You can customize any standard taco on the menu by asking to have it served 'Macho Style.' This wraps your chosen protein—like the citrus-marinated salmon or beer-battered fish—inside a cheese-stuffed, roasted Anaheim chile before it hits the tortilla.
Insider Tip
Ask your server what the daily off-menu salsa creations are before you order your drinks, as the heat levels fluctuate wildly and will dictate whether you need a soothing horchata or a smoky mezcal margarita to survive the flight.
