The menu is very good, but we were let down by both main courses being served cold - the octopus and steak. We then had to wait before they re cooked the courses and these were fine. Unfortunately, nothing was taken off the bill given that shouldn't have happened and we politely paid plus significant service charge.

A lovely welcoming restaurant with a buzzy ambience & friendly staff. The food was fabulous- we ordered tapas - one or two dishes could have been hotter but otherwise really tasty. Had to wait a very long time for a cocktail which was ordered first, it came well after the wine was already being drunk and by then wasn’t really wanted, but nice that they’d made it to order despite not being in the list - had 30% off cocktails & certain wines before 6pm which is good value. We weren’t rushed & really enjoyed our meal - would definitely recommend.

Boca a Boca had a fantastic ambience, the food was great, it was very quick and efficient food service, the staff were friendly and attentive, however I think the portions you get for the price weren't equal, such as the paella and garlic prawns l, but would definitely go back and still highly recommend.

By far the best tapas that I’ve had in the UK. The quality of the food was impeachable and really reasonably priced for the standard. Fran who served us was absolutely brilliant as well! Could not recommend Boca a Boca highly enough.
