The service was good, staff great. The food was not great. Calamari was not well fried. Grilled mushrooms almost raw, even after sending them back to be grilled again! Peppers ordered by two guests sharing tapas never arrived and we were then later told that they were out that night. Steak was very good - as to be expected. Excellent wine and a perfect birthday dessert!

A little bit expensive, but good ambiance. We order the milanesa de pollo, it was good but not crazy at all. It would be great to have more garnish

A one-star rating for La Boca is too generous. The food was generally awful—poor quality and taste—and the service was terrible. Our waiter seemed to think he was bestowing some great favor on us by serving us. First the wine, an essential at any tapas restaurant. They offered fewer than ten different wines, all but one from South America, which is not a bad thing except that I am allergic to something in SA wines. No problem; the other wine was a Crianza from La Rioja, Spain, one of our favorite wine regions. It was almost tasteless. We ordered bread and olives and an order of mussels. If La Boca deserves even one star, it was for the mussels—a generous portion of garlicky, meaty morsels. The bread was grocery-store average, and the olives were salad olives right out of a jar. To give them another chance, we ordered the meat empanadas; the pastry crust was commendable, but the meat stuffing was unappealing. Time to leave! Don’t judge this book by its cover: the photo the restaurant displays online looks, in low light, like a cool, swanky bar where you’d want to hang out for the evening. I was shocked when I walked in the door; I thought we were in the wrong place, but then realized this run-down, run-of-the-mill tourist trap required low light to hide its Golden Corral interior. Such a waste of space. I don’t know how this restaurant earned an average of 4.7 stars, but please don’t judge tapas restaurants by this fake.

My wife and I found this restaurant through Google. This place is small but the service is good. One thing they did forget our chicken wings order until we reminded them. Food price and quality is decent. We only ordered tapas because we are not a big eater.

Would not recommend this place. Undercooked food. Lazy staff, unable to smile. Had a mojito with pulverized mint, like having a soup. Trying to rip us off with the bill. Everything you expect from a place like this. Don't go.

The staff kept arguing with eachother, burgers were raw after being asked twice to cook them more there was no difference and we ended up just picking at the fries and finishing our drinks and then left. Utterly disappointed!

Not the best, not the worst. Worth It if you want to eat meat and are really close, and have a promo code or discount.

About this restaurant

Steaks under Argentinian sun Put on a pair of sunglasses, because the colours at La Boca splash of the walls! The corrugated sheets, paintings of the tango and cute plants on the the table: South America in the heart of Amsterdam. Argentina is known for its best steaks and that's what they serve...
