But the gas station strikes again... (there used to be a super kick ass cheesesteak place near by at a gas station before they relocated and it was awesome) This place is amazing and the food is absolutely delicious!!! My by far most favorite flavors were in Carne Asada, citrus pork, and mushroom tacos!!! Sooo goood!!! Sorry, no pictures to provide, food was so good I eat it before I even bothered thinking of pictures LOL read less

Have the food truck experience with this creative establishment in the back of a Chevron. I tried the carne asada quesadilla and it rocked my world, not really sure what the sweet sauce is but combined with perfectly seasoned steak and melted cheese it was legit to die for. Love that it is located in a gas station, I grabbed a Mandarin Jarrito to drink and some sour punch straws for dessert. read less

Oh wow! Yes, yes, and yes is what I have to say about this place! I'm new here... read moreOh wow! Yes, yes, and yes is what I have to say about this place! I'm new here in SOFL. Originally from Chicago. Chicago has a robust Mexican cuisine if you have never been, or never been and had a chance to try their Mexican cuisine. It's unbelievable and that is my barometer for where my bar is set for Mexican food. Nothing so far, and I mean nothing, has come close to those flavors from back home..........until now! First a note Los Bocados is food with a Mexican twist so to speak. I ordered a sampling of their tacos- homegirls (mushroom), shredded chicken, and carne asada. I also ordered a few side items: elote (Mexican street corn), cilantro rice, and borracho beans. And then a small side of chips and salsa came with the order as well. Everything was ordered on line to go.Now if you have never been, Los Bocados is located Inside a Chevron gas station. Important because if you're looking for a restaurant on your maps app or Waze, it does not indicate it's inside the Chevron and you will be confused. Pick up for me was placed for 6:45pm. My order was ready right at the exact time- perfect! I got home and I'm mad I didn't take a pic. Of how everything was packaged-- beautifully! The tacos were tucked neatly in the container along with the fresh salsa for the chips and my elote. I dove in chips and salsa first. The chips- they have magic crack seasoning they sprinkle on their chips that I absolutely loved! And the salsa was very fresh- could taste every fresh ingredient alone as well as composed together. And the salsa was perfection with the crack seasoned chips. I will be ordering a large quantity of both of these sometime just to snack on at my leisure! The Mexican street corn- darn near perfect! On point for sure! Just missing a tiny, tiny bit of Tajin in my personal opinion. But certainly delicious without it. The borracho beans- made with beer and you can taste the beer in them! Delish. And the cilantro rice- nice and refreshing green and seasoned to perfection. Cilantro- if you are a cilantro fan like me the rice was great! Cilantro is a love/hate thing so I do not expect everyone to love it. On to the tacos- the hongitos taco- perfectly sautéed sliced mushrooms with a nice sweet slaw/ onion topping. The chicken- nicely shredded and In a tomato like sauce- not like marinara folks; it was a lighter sauce but complex in flavors. Very good. And the carne asada?..... YUM! Marinated grilled steak with complex flavor from the marinade; could not figure out all I was tasting but it all worked together! Again topped with refreshing cabbage slaw and pickled onion. Tacos were all served in traditional corn tortillas. The tortillas were a little thicker than I was used to. But they were so good! This place finally met my happy meter for Mexican cuisine. It's easy to get to and well worth the extra mile and a half drive past the Chipotle, past the Taco Hell for sure, and past the neighborhood Mexican joint just for this interpretation of Mexican food. I spent about $16 for all that food- means prices are very reasonable. I will be back!!! read less
