BOCA TACOS Y TEQUILA - TUCSON, AZ

this place used to be Greasy Tony's and we went there a lot during Tucson #1 for their cheesesteak sandwiches until the quality started going down and the grease level went up and their bathrooms became repositories of infectious disease material.

Boca (means mouth in Spanish) has a limited menu. 16 different types of tacos ranging in price from $2.50 to a little over $3 and some appetizers and a burrito plate. There are great taco combo's; shrimp with cabbage and pickled red onions and sirloin tip pcs. with an anaheim chile. There were fish varieties and pork and beef.

I had a grilled shrimp and a braised pork; both were delicious especially the pork which had a fantastic spicy flavor. bill got a steak one and he really enjoyed that. We also shared a side of charro beans (very plain) and garlic and green chile rice; though i couldn't taste much flavoring in the rice.

The place has been thoroughly de-greased. There are a few tables inside and a much bigger area outside; however, the restaurant is right on Speedway so the noise is deafening.

It is a great place for us after a hike because its right on the way home and since we order at the counter we can get home in good time for that after hike shower and foot rub. ahhhhhhhhhh
