Master Critic Review

Boca Restaurant & Lounge 7.8
Belmont
Boca is a Latin restaurant and lounge off Webster Avenue where DJs, hookah, and bottle service share space with steaks, mofongo, and shareable bar food. It leans nightclub more than quiet dinner, drawing a dressed-up crowd for birthdays and late-night hangs.
Must-Try Dishes: Baby Churrasco, Wings with Jack Honey Sauce, Mofongo

What makes it special: Latin lounge where clubby lighting and DJs sit over a full menu.
Who should go: Nightlife-focused groups prioritizing music and drinks over quiet dining.

Insider tip: Reserve tables for late night; standing room fills quickly near the DJ.
