This place is perfect for a weekend lunch with friends...there is a pool which you can relax in while sipping on some delicious cocktails and smoking some watermelon - mint hukkah. The food is good.. I've tried the pizzas and noodles and they were delicious and light. This ambiance is really great and has a beachy theme with a wooden deck. At nights the whole place is lit up with cereal lights and the place looks beautiful.
Food is symbolic of love when words are inadequate.” - Alan D. Wolfelt
Opened in 2017 by Anish and Sarika Varshnei Boca Loca is located In Candolim by the beach and boasts of a breathtaking view of the beach and sunset. All the integredients and produce are locally sourced and made In-house. Minimal oil is used and they try to make every dish healthy and wholesome.
So here what we ordered was!
✴ Cocktail- lemon o grass this drink was a infused drink !
Mocktail- Candolim sunrise loved the drink a perfect combination
✴For starters we had
Teriyaki chicken
Properly cooked chicken in every bite the Jack cheese would melt in your mouth
Soft shell tacos served with salsa and sour cream- The stuffing was too good. Also the sauces used to make any dishes as well as the salsa sauce everything is organic and prepared there itself no readymade
● For mains we ordered
Cripsy seafood platter- This platter is totally recommended when you visit Goa this place is worth every penny spent. Seafood platter includes calamari fish fingers and prawns which was cooked so good and tasted delicious.
Chilly garlic noodles in chopsuey sauce
Burnt garlic flavour and the sauce with noodles tasted delicious loved the portion and the taste as well.
Totally recommended place
The restaurant is very spacious and rustic in its looks. At night the lighting creates a very cozy and romantic ambience. It has an amazing view of the beach and is a good location to view the sunset. The perfect place to relax from lunch to sundown.
The service is very good.

Final comments: A must visit for anyone in Goa.
Boca Loca has been on my wish list for a very long time!
The place is a long way from the main road and a bit difficult to find, but my o my, the ambience is out of this world! It is exactly overlooking the beach, and the hip vibe, music and food just add to its beauty! Good utilisation of place including a pool but I was in total awe of the rustic furniture giving the place boho vibes. Perfect place to host a rave party or even just for a date.
We were here for a complimentary meal they offered. For starters we had beef tacos (soft shelled), the peppery, flavoursome meat well complimented the tangy sauce and sour cream. The Chicken stroganoff though plated amateurly, was creamy and delicious. But desserts here are absolutely to die for! the Molten chocolate lava cake was one of the best I've ever had. Rich chocolately, just the way I liked it!
For drinks we went with the mango peppy cocktail, as recommended. T'was the perfect amalgamation of sweet, sour and tangy and complimented the tacos well. The watermelon martini was pretty good too.
Staff is friendly and will suggest you food and drink options to cater to your taste and liking. Though we were among the few customers, service was pretty slow. Prices are on the higher side, especially when compared with quantity.
But overall, we had a good time!
Beach lovers.. what are you waiting for!
A place where the roof is as light as the air and cools like it too! They have live music gigs every week and a view that compliments everything they do. You should try their upside down pizza! It serves one and is served upside down! A good place for a chill date or family night!
The ambience is really great. The vibe that was set is perfect for a lovely evening for family as well as couple. Also, the food served at boca loca is also delicious!!
Perfect place to hangout with your friends and enjoy your birthday parties.Uniqueness and amazing taste of food adds the awesomness of the restrauant.Must visit place for food and beach lover
Amazing place to spend a peaceful evening, delicious food and a perfect sunset.. loved the ambience.. would love to visit again.. overall a good place..
I haven't seen a place that makes sunsets look as good as this place does. The entire vibe of the place goes from lazy lunching to mellow lounging. They have an outdoor pool that allows you to enjoy the day and watch colour change in fresh water. Their Peppy mango mojito is as peppy as it sounds! Very refreshing with with a hint of chilly. A must visit for sunset lovers and cocktail fanatics .
They have an offer every Sunday where for 1,300 rupees you get open bar for beer and unlimited grill from 5pm to 8. Totally worth it if you love beer and food

Boca Loca has the perfect recipe to relax!
The venue is well lit, spacious and perfectly color coded. The furniture has an ideal lounge design and material. The view is simply exquisite! It’s charming how the entire place changes color as the sun sets and goes away. One of the highlights of the place are their infused vodkas! They have vodka infused with star anise, cinnamon, lemon and clove! Their crispy chicken steamed baos was a tasteful surpise for me as well.
A must visit for sun-kissed beach lovers and food connoisseurs.
The ambience is pretty good. Love the food. Should visit it. Should try their sea food tooooooo.... and I would suggest to go in the evenings.
Looks like a delicate boho girl but tastes like an explosion of new flavours. I love the individualised menu and cocktails. Their drunken botanist is a must try! I loved the way the sun had a mellow feeling through the wavy, light and not so restricted roofing.
A vedy good place with a nice ambiance.. Really liked the service and the quality of the food... Overall its an amazing place to visit. Loved it
Beautiful place by the beach... Best to spend time with friends and family !
Also includes a pool to chill out your stress! #goodvibesonly 😍
Temptingly tasty food.. Lovely place with the best view to chill and make your day ❣️ Do try their grills!
Ambiance+Food+Drinks+Beach vibes💯
A place with great cuisines served very well. A place to enjoy with friends or family....totally would recommend this to any one reading this
Amazing place.... Love the vibes..... The food is amazing... Great service and awesome ambience friendly staff...Enjoy viewing the sunset during their sundowners..... Hard to find such a location in panjim..
This is such a beautiful place to go on a date or even to hang out with friends
The place has an amazing vibe. There is good music and also the atmosphere is very cosy and comfortable. The food served there is amazing. Boca Loca has the most beautiful ambience even for the daytime nighttime and the best ambience for a sundowner.
I am not alcohol person But they do have a very wide range of varieties in alcohol.
I tried their fruit punch even if you are not a fruit person you should definitely try this because it was so tasty.
There food menu is curated so well you have options in veg and non-veg. In non-veg you can very bifurcate things to seafood chicken and beef.
This is definitely a must try place.
If you like beaches, the view is beautiful.
Chill sunsets with a good beach view mixed with good music and great food; this is a place like no other , truly a one of a kind beach front you have to experience!
only complaint :
The waiters should know what's on their own menu on each specific days. Waiters not knowing what's special on the menu and not knowing about the deals of the day is just sad But! other than that loved the experience👌🏻
I would definitely love to visit again very soon
It's an Amazing place to be at if you like chilled out vibes.The Music played there is as per your mood,creating a great ambience. It's the perfect place if you want to have quality of food at the best price.You could also watch the sunsets by the beachside with a drink:) Overall It's a 10/10 undoubtedly,All the best Mr Anish👍
Location is spot on. Perfect place for a sundowner, and don’t even get me started on the brilliant food. A must visit. Had a great time. Will definitely visit again.
We had some super refreshing cocktails @bocalocagoa🍹🍸 We had The drunken botanist which was a cinnamon infused vodka drink , this was definitely one of the best cocktails we have had. We totally recommend this☝ and we had an Appletini which was a perfect blend of vodka and apple juice🍎 For appetisers we had.. 💚Veg: Soft shelled tacos 🌮 filled with corn, bell peppers and loads of spices🌶 it is perfect for those who love “chatpata stuff”. They have home made tortillas overflowing with mix of veggies and pico de gallo which is fresh tomato salsa served with red salsa sauce 🌽🍅 ❤Non-Veg: Goan chorizo currywurst served with garlic poi which is an Indian influenced German currywurst sauce. It has a very dominant flavour of tomatoes 🍅Pork was mildly cooked which left it juicy For Mains we had.. ❤Red snapper served with rice and vegetables. It was a proper boneless fillet with a tangy base gravy🍛 Vegetables were hand tossed with lemon which gave a different kind of freshness👌 And food is incomplete without dessert 🍮 We had a big bowl of fresh home made Goan serradura..😋 Ps. The quantity of dishes is somewhere between appetisers and main course, making it quite filling 😍 Also they are revamping their menu, so you might get to try something new 😉 The place has a pool as well as a dance floor. The perfect time to go here is just before sunset 🌅. The place has different ambience in day as well as night. Do try both!!!!🤩
What a amazing place !!! The ambience is just WOW! A big thumbs up to the food !! Team Boca Loca hats off to your hospitality...Keep up the good work!! Love this place to bits...
A great place to relax with good music and ambiance and food was amazing. Evenings are the best after sunset as the place looks lit. I would definitely come once again if i tend to be near candolim.
Heard of this place off Instagram and Zomato searches ! Loved the set up and the staff was quite friendly . Tried the Soft Shell Taco’s and their Crispy Recheado Fries. The food was pretty good , may be a little too pricey for the quantity..but great flavors.
Came here for New Year’s Eve and had the best time dancing the night away right by the beach. NYE menu was different than regular menu but food was delicious and waiters were attentive to providing our table with drinks.
Visited once again last week. Perfect place to watch the sunset while enjoying a cold beer. Food is innovative and delicious and ambience is chill. Highly recommend the Burmese Veg Samosas and Baos!
Brilliant place, great location and a lovely owner and host Sarika.. Spend a lovely afternoon with kids and friends .. Will do again soon.. must visit for all and sundry.. Cheers
Amazing place with awesome view.. Must there place.. value for money.. Nice live music with great seating place. Outstanding service and food. Keep it up!!
Dropped by last sunday and loved the ambience & the food. The lamb samosas & cocktails are a must try! Overall an amazing place to chill at & watch sunsets on a Sunday.
Went there for the sunset yesterday. The views are absolutely phenomenal. They have a great cocktail menu and delicious food. It’s definitely a one of a kind menu in goa, different from all other restaurants on the beach strip.
Would definitely recommend a visit if you’re looking to chill by the beach and have some good food, drinks and coffee!
I was in Goa on the 30th just before new year's. Place has a banging view, great food and super chilled out staff. Will definitely be our go to place to hang next time we are in Goa.
Been to this place for new years had a blast.. Loved the abience the food ,the open beach. Everytime we come to goa im sure we will visit here . All in all great place for a date 😊🙌
The music is great. It's the place to be at! It's very charming and the staff was very humble, i was glad to be there at the new years party! Would definetly recommend to people looking for an open view for the beach.
The place has a great vibe, amazing food and a very polite and charming staff. The cinnamon Collins cocktail and and the upside down pizzas made specially by the chef is a must try combo.
Last year when I visited we found the drinks a little pricey but then the few days before New Years we visited and we were all smashed, a must recommend is the happy hours and strawberry mint iced tea!!
Great ambience with breathtaking view of the Arabian Sea and mouth watering cuisine. Highly recommended and one of the best places in Candolim!
Set amidst sylvian sands Boca Loca is a pearl a jewel and a place to jam. The ambience is the perfect setting for the cuisine to follow. The range baffles. From salads with a twist to Europe on a plate to desi with dum it's a feast.. to be washed down with the finest cocktails on this side of the Suez canal. Belismo
Beautiful sunsets by the beach, especially in the winter season
The food delivery and staff service has improved over time this year and wishing you guys all the best
A fantastic place with the perfect ambience! Will most definitely recommend to family & friends. A place where all are welcome under one roof. Must visit!
Great place to see the sunset along with some delicious starters and cocktails. Good choice of music, sets the perfect mood to relax by the pool
Loved the ambience, the vibes are great by the beach. Also the food was lip smacking
I had the best time over there at New Years!
And would love to visit the place again

We went there for New Year's Eve party. Great food, crowd, drinks, music (DJ from Mumbai) and vibes. Could go to the beach for a midnight swim and come back!
One of the few places in the area that have a great ambience. Got a very homely feeling with brilliant food. Definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to have a chill time with a good view
Beautiful place by the beach, gives a good feel with some nice music. The chilly garlic noodles topped with chopsuey sauce is a must try dish. Definitely recommend others to visit
Lively and serene place, perfect for Saturday evening , decor and music is amazing .. food is okayish but cocktails are amazing , very quick service . There will be different artists performing live dance on the floor.
Had a great experience last night, loved the food and cocktails, the ambience was awesome, had an amazing time watching the fire show, would love to come back with more friends!!
The ambience is 10/10 🔥
My favourite dishes from Boca Loca : ( for a vegetarian )
1. Flaky roti topped with crumbled paneer, makhani gravy ( its to die for !!! )
2. Appam with Thai style vegetables topped with spicy mango curry
3. Curried veg samosa Burmese style
4. Pan fried bao stuffed with mushroom, charred water chestnut.
I got to know about this place through an influencer on Instagram. The place looked stunning in pictures and I wished to visit the place soon. I usually would see the board of Boca Loca whenever I passed by candolim. But I didn’t know what kinda place that was. It’s a restaurant located in a resort. Since the place had a very good view of the candolim beach. I decided to visit the place for sunset. Firstly there is a nice buggy ride that takes you to the restaurant. When you reach the restaurant you feel amazing seeing the sun, sand and the beach. Since it was a dry day when we visited on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, we were left with no choice but to have mocktails and cold coffee. We also had a hookah while we enjoyed the sunset. The food menu was vast. The staff was friendly and always carried a smile. We had a good time watching the sun go down. Definitely recommended for sunset lovers.
This is situated in a nice place. It was really relaxing sitting here with the sea view. Waiter was courteous. This place is new I suppose that’s why half the things from the menu were not available. Loved the lightning ❤️
Best place for food!
The samosa was brilliant
Teriyaki chicken with monetary jack cheese was amazing!
Awesome Vibe and a Great Evening!
When in Goa - Boca Loca is the place to be.
Do try out the :
1. Green pea Water chestnut samosas
2. Teriyaki chicken skewers stuffed with cheese
The ambience is just beautiful and peaceful.
Step into Goa and step into boca loca
Worth worth worth visiting.
Classy ambience, creative menu and food was amazing.
Dishes to look out for: flaky roti with makhani gravy, somosa with Burmese sauce and Cajun onion rings
Boca Loca is a beautiful beach front restaurant situated on the Candolim Beach Stretch. The food was great. We tried the Teriyaki Beef Skewers which were good, the Chorizo in Currywurst sauce was simply perfect! It brought back memories of the currywurst we had in Berlin. The soft shell tacos are one of the best I've had in Goa till date! We also tried the Rechado fries
The signature cocktails are a must to try out, The Drunken Botanist being my favourite on the list. The Whiskey sour and Frose were good too.
All the food is made from clean and healthy ingredients which gives this place brownie points.
The view and ambience itself gives it a well deserved rating !! Well, we had an amazingly wonderful time at this place over lunch with subtle yet crafty ambience. The food was truly exquisite. An absolute heaven for sea food lovers. Especially, the Sea Food Platter was sensational. Menu is perfect. Something for Everyone 😊
Add this to the best dining view on the beach on a gorgeous sunny day, and it adds up to perfection. Will be back definitely 👍🏻
Straight up, Boca Loca is perfection personified. The ambience is captivating. The decor is simple & yet so elegant. It has ample of space - nothing is cramped up and so every corner breathes life.
Coming over to food, it has a draping menu at your disposal. We ordered a lot of food and all of it was simply amazing. Prawns recheado wrapped in appam, Cured sea bass flatbread drizzled with wasabi oil, the ultimate seafood platter and a lot of cocktails and mocktails. However my favourite was the Teriyaki chicken skewers stuffed with Monterey Jack which turned out to be toothsome & lip smacking. (Must try)
The value for money here is absolute. I am sure you cannot just be satisfied with one visit.
They are also starting with some water activities on the beach for the guests so I cannot wait to visit this place again!
Boca Loca is that place by the beach that you can spend an entire day at. They serve innovative cocktails coupled with really delicious tapas! We spent an entire Sunday there last week and went home happy and well fed! Tried out a couple of cocktails including The Lemon Pickled Vodka, The Drunk Botanist (my personal fave!) And the Frozé, all of which were absolutely delicious! Boca Loca serves some of the best Tapas in North Goa. We tried so many, among which I'd highly recommend the Teriyaki Beef Skewers (I believe they've got a Chicken version of this dish, if you're not into red meat), the Chorizo in Currywurst Sauce, the Chicken Tacos and the Avocado & Cream Cheese on Flatbread. The beef was perfectly cooked, flavourful and tender. The Currywurst Sauce was spot on and took me back to Germany! The Tacos were the best I tried in Goa and I loved how the shell wasn't oily at all. Avocado was really light and fresh! The service, food, location, pricing, everything was really amazing. Would highly recommend this place for a chilled out Sunday Brunch or a low key Saturday night!
Some cocktails and tapas with a stunning beach view. Sorted right?! Meanwhile where every other beach side outlet has closed down for the season, Boca Cola stays open ready to be your perfect host.
We started out with some amazing tapas:
Crispy Pork Bao which had perfectly steamed buns with generous amount filling of crispy pork, pickled veggies, mayo and asian bbq sauce.
Pan Fried Chicken Bao weren't the best I had.
Curried veg samosa Burmese style was something new. Samosas were stuffed with peas and water chestnut accompanied with khow suey curry.
Fish Tacos were balanced well with whipped sour cream and salsa.
Prawns Recheado wrapped in appam, one of their signature dish was a complete winner. Spicy recheado grilled prawns wrapped in appam topped with coconut chutney. Indeed was a very interesting combo. Left me wanting for more. An absolute must.
Upside Down Pizza was my first. Baked with your choice of toppings, cheese, and sauce in a baking dish that is covered with the pizza crust. Then the dish is turned upside down and the crust is pried off the outer rim of the bowl in front of you. May not be prettiest but it tastes pretty good and serves one.
Moving on to the entrée which consisted of
Grilled Pomfret in lemon butter parsley sauce which was accompanied by goan herbed rice and grilled vegetables. Grilled and flavored beautifully in lemon butter sauce.
Kingfish Tikka in goan curry served with flaky roti. A much better option. They hit the spot with this one.
Finished our meal with pecan pie which was flawless.
Do try their sangria spiced with star anise and cinammon. It's lovely and goes down really smooth.
I would like to thank Aishwarya Krishnan from growth gravy for the invite and the team of Boca loca for the great hospitality.
A great resto bar right by the Candolim Beach. Had the best Tapas Food in Goa. It's an amazing lounge to chill with friends and gives you a lively ambience with music and indoor games. And with a beach view to beat em' all, what else do you need.
Boca Loca is a Beach Lounge / Restaurant at Candolim Beach which serves delicious Food & Cocktails. Happy to see the lounge open during monsoons while most of the outlets were shut. Great service - thanks for the foosball & pool games. :)
Your one stop shop for all things delicious from the fish tacos to the daily cocktail specials. Friendly staff and the best sunset view in Candolim. Hands down!
Fabulous place... Great vibe! Very friendly staff and great service. The place is gorgeous! The food is very good! The kids had a blast too, lots of room too run around, dance and some cool games for them to play! Right on the beach, it's perfect setting to watch the sunset here, and then chill for the rest of the evening with the sand under your feet and the breeze in your hair!
Great atmosphere, great food! Highly recommend. Came with friends for first time, then came back again 2 days later with even more friends. Will be back again for sure.
Friendly staff and beautiful space. Even in Goa, they’ve managed to make a distinct happy vibe place to hang out:)
We came with friends and Kids and there’s something for us all!
Great Food lovely ambiance beautiful sunset great tapas n yummy cocktails. great hosts and Ruth is very tech savvy and a lovely manager. Anish is a great chef and the owner of the place
Awesome location on the beach. Perfect spot for a sundowner as you see the sun set over the Arabian Sea. Excellent modern comfort food - must try the lamb curry samosa, cured sea bass flatbread and molten lava cheese tarts. For mains try the seafood grills.
It’s the new hotspot in Goa. We enjoyed the beautiful sunset while sipping Sangrias. Gorgeous setting, chic ambience and great music. Food is finger licking good. The chili noodles, curry samosas and crispy bao hit the spot. The cookie cup with ice cream is a must eat!
A great location, well designed etc but most importantly the food is excellent. You must try the lamb samosa, the best samosa I've ever eaten! The lamb kheema is great too as are the lamb & chicken dumplings. I will be going back very soon to try some more.
Excellent cuisine good and superb atmosphere'near the condulim beach and beautiful sunset . Worth visiting 'A must visit in Goa 'it is truly an hidden Gem
Delicious food. The inverted pizza is a must eat. Great ambience too. Amazing beach club, good music, and yummy drinks. I have to visit more often to try out all the delectable dishes from the menu.
This place is a magical combination of ambience and food! A must try when in Goa. The pride of Candolim I can say safely . Food to die for...
Well it was one of the most beautiful beach pavilions I've visited. Starting off from the main entrance, it's situated behind grand casino in candolim, so we had to park our car and walk a rough distance of 200m approx. On reaching Boca loca , the view is jus stunning with a very lovely ambience. Tried out a strawberry ice tea which was okay not bad. The golden fried chicken fingers were the best 😍while the chicken chilly fry wasn't that delicious (maybe coz I hate capsicum)😂but nevertheless the place offers a whole variety of meals. Ps: Angry manager included!!!
A new beach lounge / restaurant in Candolim which offers scrumptious food with a great beach view. You can spend an entire day here with their pool games, foosball, dance floor so you can have a great beach party when in Goa. Staff is polite & well mannered. Located near Calamari.
When a Chef runs the show, the food got to be heavenly. Great ambience.
The view and ambience itself gives it a well deserved rating !! Well, we had an amazingly wonderful time at this place over luneech with subtle yet crafty ambience. The food was truly exquisite. An absolute heaven for sea food lovers. Especially, the Sea Food Platter was sensational. Menu is perfect. Something for Everyone 😊
Add this to the best dining view on the beach on a gorgeous sunny day, and it adds up to perfection. Will be back definitely 👍🏻
Perfect place to watch the sunset while eating tasty tapas cooked by chef Anish
Loved the vibes of this place! Beautiful view of the beach and a place to just let down your hair and enjoy a relaxed evening. We tried the Thai style chicken with mango curry and were surprised by how such a weird combination could taste so spectacular! The bartender was kind enough to prepare a custom drink for us based on our request. Also enjoyed the seafood platter thoroughly! Kudos to the courteous staff that made sure we enjoyed our experience at Boca Loca.
Great view and nice place to enjoy and relax
Boca Loca is that place by the beach that you can spend an entire day at. They serve innovative cocktails coupled with really delicious tapas!

Good food nice ambiance but overpriced... Loved the music, staff is so courteous... It is next to beach, absolutely stunning and beautiful view... We were fortunate to view the sunset from the restaurant, it was mesmerizing.... The vibes were so relaxed.... Try inside out pizza over there it was very good...
