Boga Latin Cuisine

I came in march 1 in the afternoon as soon as we came in in we felt unwelcomed by the hostess who was also our server. the service was not good after we got our food she never came back to check on us for anything, we never got refills the whole time. I had the chapi roll and before i finished i saw something in my food that looked like a insects leg so i didn’t finish it. i let her know and she said it could be part of the flower they put as decor on the food, so they didn’t do or say anything about it after that. i didn’t believe it but we let it go because we wanted to leave so we asked for the bill. It couldn’t have been anything from the ingredients if you look at what’s in the roll. Also the prices on the menu did not match our bill. I would not recommend.

@ Boga Latina the vibe was warm, amazing and family friendly. Our host and waitress Ana was welcoming, she provided a great selection of appetizers and main course items: the food was delicious with generous portions. My family enjoyed mofonguito garlic tequila camarones, empanadas, octopus, crispy calamari and chicken tenders for the kids. Dessert included roasted coconut cake and churros with a delightful chocolate dipping sauce. The chasers: were also great passion fruit margaritas, and mojitos Will definitely be back🩷🩷🩷

The food was absolutely delicious. The service was good. A little bit of a mixup waiting for drinks. Other than that, polite staff, nice atmosphere, good music. I will be coming back for sure.

The food was delicious. We ate mofongo with fried pork and mofongo with grilled skirt steak.

Ludy was a great waitress! Very informative, friendly, and had great suggestions! The fooooooooood, was amazing !! Will be back for sure. Setting is nice too ❤️

BOGA Latin cuisine is a great place for individuals, small groups, and more.Great food and Ana was an amazing waitress.

I ordered the Lamb chops! It came with Mash Potatoes and Arugula salad. The Lamb chops were delicious, but the mash potatoes taste just like they were instant mash. Trust I know the difference between real and instant mash potatoes. I arrived around 6 so there was no crowd and food arrived quickly. I also ordered a side of rice and beans. I was so throwed off by the instant mash potatoes after tasting the red beans they taste like canned pork and beans. The atmosphere was good at the time I arrived. The music was not too loud.

The food at this place is amazing. This restaurant is in a small shopping center and the setting and vibe at this place is more of a casual hookah bar, but we were blown away by the presentation and flavor of all the dishes we ordered. The portions were decent size too. The services were very friendly and quick too. Will definitely come back.

Great food, service and environment I recommend it to everyone Love the music and their drinks

The food here is delicious, we have come twice to enjoy the red snapper, churrasco and trifongo! 10/10 highly recommend!

Very nice quiet spot to get a quick lunch bite. While I'm waiting for my seat covers to be installed came to grab a bite. Lunch stew chicken rice n beans plantain and a salad . This was good for lunch also comes a drink . It's also a really good price 13 bucks for the lunch and you're full.

Weeks after visiting this restaurant and we are still thinking about it. The food was absolutely amazing like wow, everything we ordered was so flavorful. The drinks were strong and just what we wanted. One of the best Latin restaurants I've ever been to in the states. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The DJ was so on point, it was a total party vibe going there.

Excelente servicio, el ambiente muy bueno, la comida es muy buena y sobre todo el Excelente servicio de Ana luisa es muy atenta, y sobre todo simpatica, volveremos pronto.

Cute, sexy spot in an unsuspecting strip mall. The food was so good, we really wanted to try everything! The calamari was fried and seasoned well, the empanadas were flavorful, we got crab, shrimp and beef (they also have chicken), the mofongitos were not bad but I'll get the mofongo next time. The Latin style sushi rolls were also very good. They had drink specials til 7, sangria and margaritas were strong! They have a stage set up for a band, I'd like to go back and check that out!

Good food, Service & Ambiance Me gusta la gran atención que proveen para las familias

No seasoning No flavor. I ordered a steak and My husband the same. Neither of us could even eat it bc it was so bland. We left and ate at the juicy crab. It was good!

I came here to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and my birthday and OMG we had an amazing time!! Our server Angel took such good care of us he was so sweet and amazing and fun! The food was outstanding and muy autentico the hookah was good, and the music was lit. Can't wait to come back!

We visited Boga for a friend's birthday dinner. I love Latin food, so I was pretty excited to be trying this place for the first time. The Parking: Free parking. Huge lot. The Service: It was pretty good. The waitress was really nice, but continued to get our friend's birthday treat. I reminded her at least 4 times towards the end of our meal. Things seemed to be moving pretty slow here. The Atmosphere: I love the look of this place. Very colorful. Later in the evening, the open the doors, and Boga turns into a little lounge. Nice live DJ and good hookah ($30-$35) is also provided. The Food: I ordered the Boga Wings (12 pc. - $13.95), as well as the Half Caribbean Roasted Chicken ($14.95). The wings were Smoky Chicken Wings, with their homemade salsa, accompanied with their homemade lime mayo sauce, celery and carrots. THEY WERE SO GOOD! Some of the best wings I've ever had. The flavor was amazing and they were fried hard. The roasted chicken was served with Caribbean fresh herbs over Fingerling Steak Fries and Grilled Asparagus. It also comes with a bed of their signature Avocado Green Tomatillo Sauce, but I ordered mine on the side. It was okay. I wasn't too hungry, so most of it went home. It tasted even better once I put the chicken in the air fryer at home. Lol. Empeñadas: My friends ordered the empeñadas and shared with the table. They were REALLY GOOD! Omg! Get em! Overall, I'd definitely come back and I highly recommend visiting if you're ever in the Norcross area.

Definitely a neighborhood gem first and foremost! Located in a plaza with ample parking, Boga's beautiful interior is not evident until you enter. The host guides to either a highly recommended reserved table (especially on weekends) or the energetic bar area. Honestly, the entire place is energetic with conversations in English and Spanish, a DJ or band depending on the day and a combination of tables and booths throughout. But the highlight is the food! There are ample choices from appetizers to traditional meals like my favorite mofungo to fusion inspired sushi. Have tried all and never disappointed! On my first visit I had the mofungo trio with faves shrimp & avocado and was beside myself! The reason for this was because I had attempted to get mofongo similar to what I experienced in Puerto Rico and has been an epic fail per previous reviews. Boga gets it! The sample size is great and they also have larger combinations of mofungo dishes. Also ordered the calamari, which was an extremely large portion and enough to share, and my companion's fried oysters. As it was my companion's b-day, I surprised him with a Boga staff serenade in Espanol accompanied with delicious tres leches cake! Returned again last week as I was craving soup, and was obliged with the chicken soup full of veggies and well seasoned broth. Had the tequila shrimp & substituted yellow rice for the white. It was apparently one of their popular dishes as the next table ordered the same, but with the white rice. I do see the benefits of both options as it was a little bit salty and the white rice would dilute that. Nonetheless the presentation and taste were stellar! My companion had the ropa viejo Sushi roll and it was so yummy. Actually broke my 'no meat Friday' rule to sample. I love the fusion creativity of the chef! All dishes paired well with their sangria, which was available in several sizes. I must go back to the chef & owner, who appears to be a jack of all trades. He not only greeted patrons & helped at the bar, but was also spotted on a ladder hanging a strange shaped balloon. Was curious about it, until we later were privy to a gender reveal ceremony. It's a girl! Also concurrently were birthday party dinners taking place. The place is large enough to accommodate multiple events while servicing the regular dinner crowd. Service is exceptional whether at the bar or a booth. They also have hookahs available. Will definitely return for my own sushi roll, sampling of the myriad of food porn style dishes posted on their Instagram and of course my favorite mufungo!!!

Place biutiful servicio excelente nice music good anbiente good to be on night live dance place

Arrived about 30 mins after they opened and was greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff. There was no one else in there so we were seated immediately and was taken care of pretty quickly. We ordered the sangria tower, chicken, beef, and crab empanadas, and the la dura and lady rolls. The empanadas were perfectly seasoned and fried to perfection. The sangria was absolutely delicious although it could have used a little more alcohol. The rolls were amazing!!! Everything again was very flavorful and cooked to perfection! Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back!

Nothing bad to say! The food was amazing! We got the Fuji fugi 10/10, house mofongo 10/10, salmon 10/10 and kids Alfredo 10/10! All the food was good! Mojitos were good too but nothing special in my opinion. They did have a lot of drink options that I didn't try that I'm wanting to try when I go back for sure. Already can't wait to go back for the mofongo for sure.

Boga was ok! Visited with a friend. We ordered apps, Calamari & beef, chicken & shrimp empanadas! We also ordered an Apple Martini & a Mango Martini. Both Martini's were delicious! The Calamari was very chewy and lacked flavor, however they did provide 2 dipping sauces that provided a nice lil kick of flavor! The empanadas were fried HARD and tough to eat & enjoy. Wasn't a fan. The ambiance of the place is very nice, they don't close til 3am & have large speakers in the ceilings, which I'm assuming the place turns into a lounge/club of some sort later in the night. Staff was great, our waitress was new & very nice! It was her first day & we gave her lots of grace, cause, understandable! Overall, the staff was great, great ambiance and nice cocktail options, however the food is a bit lack luster. Once that improves, I believe this place has lots of potential!

Boga it's all good I almost didn't want to do a review for it because I don't want anyone else to know lol. It's a great mix of fusion and a good variety of menu options. I absolutely love the sushi and the seafood soup is always really good. They also have hookah and sangria so it's a great group. Hang out as well. It's tucked away but it's a hidden gem.

Cuisine: Food was delicious!!! I ordered the Chicken Monfongo with garlic sauce (3.8/5). That was my first time having a dish like that and I feel as though maybe I should've tried it with a different sauce. The star of the show was the drinks and the Parmesan Chicken Breast my boyfriend ordered. I enjoyed my boyfriend's food more than my own to be honest. It was 5 out of 5 for sure. Especially to sub it out with the yellow rice instead of mashed potatoes. Drinks were a bit high ($12) but they were flavorful and pretty strong!! Definitely would've gotten another one if I didn't have to work in the morning! Setting: Very nice low lighting. Tinted windows from the outside looking in makes it look even more private and intimate. We went on a Sunday night but I believe they have live music on Saturdays so I'll definitely be back for that! Social distanced seating was implemented automatically! Overall, the sushi options on the menu threw me off at first but there are absolutely some gems on this menu. You just have to try it out and see, I'd definitely return!

Excellent food and service. The red snapper with coconut sauce was flavorful and the tostones were crispy with just the right amount of salt. I also enjoyed the mashed yuca and the crab empanada.

Delish! I went here based on other Yelp reviews, and it was so good! It is a bit of a hole in the wall located in a Dollar Tree strip mall, but don't let the location fool you b/c the food is amazing. Great food, great drink selection, and great service. I ordered the pork and shrimp mofongo, and my friend had lemon pepper wings- crispy skin and juicy chicken!

Service is terrible, food was not good either and they charge you the tip they choose how much they want they don't let you choose you end up over paying. Place was not clean at all . Do not recommend this place to anyone.

Where to begin? I'll have to scream it: THIS IS THE BEST LATIN AMERICAN FUSION SPOT I'VE EVER BEEN TO! GET OVER HERE NOW! I can't begin to tell you how much I love Boga! The flavors are better than any gourmet restaurant I've ever been to. You would never suspect it because it's tucked away in a seemingly unsuspecting spot. This place is a hidden gem and I'm so lucky to have discovered it. My family and I visited the other day and ordered a feast. All our meat was cooked medium and to perfection. We ordered: +Crispy Calamari. Jalapenos, cilantro, fresh lemon squeeze, and Jalapeno and Chipotle dressing. +Kanu. Sweet plantain filled with fresh and delicious shrimps, green plantains chips topped with Thai sauce. +Fuji Fuji. Sweet plantain Mofongo with grilled chicken breast on top, bathed in bacon sauce, accompanied with avocado and Pico de Gallo. +Carne Asada. Mexican rice, refried beans topped with fresh cheese, corn tortillas, Pico de Gallo, grilled Panela cheese, and Tatemada Sauce. + Pan-Roasted Atlantic Salmon. Cheesy yuca purée (read: Yuca mashed potatoes haha) and topped with a homemade creamy corn sauce. Y'all NEED to order the exact same things because everything I ordered blended with perfect harmony. Be sure to ask for extra sauce for the Fuji Fuji! My personal favorites were Kanu, Fuji Fuji, and Atlantic Salmon. I won't come back without ordering those! At night on the weekends, expect to see live music and colorful lights. I went with my partner and we got the guava margarita and the Georgia peach drink. Both were amazing, especially the Georgia Peach! the fresh fruits in the drink were such a nice and yummy touch.

Service is great, food is amazing but the ambiance can get better, the atmosphere is wayyyyy to loud for dinner but if you like really loud music with your dinner then this is the spot for you

I found this place from Tiktok. We arrived around 8pm on a Friday and the place was pretty empty when we got there. Parking is plentiful as it's in a shopping center. We decided to do a girl's night here. Food was good and different than our usual. The place is definitely a vibe once people start rolling in which was all little before 10PM. They had a DJ and the music was nice. We definitely enjoyed it. Our server was amazing. We were so excited when we found out they had hookah. If you're from Atlanta then you know hookah is life lol. We had several apps. The fried sushi roll, the empanadas, and the calamari. The empanadas had an odd taste that none of us liked. That didn't deter us though. The drinks are beautiful and full of fresh fruits. I subbed the vodka for tequila. I cannot remember the name of the drink though, sorry. I also had 2 passion fruit margaritas and they were great. Dinner entrée was the red snapper with la criolla sauce. It was really good but way too much food which isn't a bad thing. Definitely check this place out. It's a fun spot to go without having to drive to the city. Our server was even salsa dancing with us. It was a great night. It does get crowded so get there early like we did.

What can I say this place is great. It's literally hidden out of view and if you're driving really fast you'll miss it! It's in a plaza near Buford Highway. And it is close proximity to Downtown Norcross. I can't believe I did not know about this place sooner. All their dishes seem delicious and I wanted to try all of them. I had ordered their Chicken Alfredo and it was yummy and well seasoned. My friend had ordered their sushi and that's what I'll be getting next time I'm here. It was flavorful and fresh. The dishes are well decorated and garnished. The ambience was nice and quality service. Can't wait to come back and try one of their drinks and a dessert!

My girlfriend and I went here Saturday night. Unfortunately the restaurant was reserved for a party so we had to eat outside. I don't recommend eating outside on the tables because you feel like your eating in the parking lot. The food was delicious and the drinks were well mixed. I like mine stronger but I have a high tolerance and don't like paying for alcohol. I highly recommend the crane asada. It was perfectly cooked. The salsa for the calamari was VERY tasty and Spicy but could be crispier. My first time trying Mofango and I enjoyed it a lot even though I'm not a big fan of plantains. They also have hookah but the coals were not hot enough.

Somethings in life are so good that it's difficult to describe. All I can say is go there now! The food is beyond amazing!

Amazing food and amazing service. Live bands, music, hookah. It's an amazing experience!

My friends and I were on the waitlist for an hour. We were told 30 minutes, waited patiently, and then were told that no tables were available. We believe we were turned away due to our race, and were treated rudely. I will never return here.

My only regret?! Not finding this place any sooner. What a GEM! I had read the previous reviews, and quite honestly I didn't experience ANYTHING Negative. The service, presentation, and the food were perfect. I felt safe regarding COVID, all the staff had masks and they didn't sit people next to us. Boga Latin is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking, very easy to find. From the moment we walked in, Gaby our waitress was very warm and welcoming. We had a one year old with us, although she made a mess, not once did they give us a bad look. Quite contrary she helped us by making sure the plates were out of reach and checked on us constantly. There was a picture that they had posted on their Instagram that we were both unsure of what the name was, but she took the time to show the picture to the kitchen and they made it for us! Now to the food... WOW! What an epic fusion! It's mostly Dominican and Japanese, with some random Mexican dishes like the carne asada. There's also some burgers and more "Americanized" dishes as well. We started out with the Mofonguitos of chicken, we asked for the garlic ahi sauce on the side, it was delicious. I definitely recommend pouring the sauce over the plantain cup. You must try the Fuji Fuji as an appetizer as well. Plantain with grilled chicken with a ton of sauce. For entrees We ordered the Sancocho, which was basically a chicken and plantain soup. Very good too, I'd recommend it as a hangover dish or if you want something on the lighter side, expect a pretty big bowl though. My favorite was "La dura" sushi. Excellent yellow sauce with different types of mixed seafood and a slice of plantain! They also have a great happy hour that starts at 3pm. I ordered a strawberry margarita that was on the sweeter side, but SO GOOD. Thursday- Sunday they have live music, starting around 9:30pm. Saturday nights it's mostly salsa! Overall I would recommend this place and I'm already planning a time to come back.

Octopus (pulpo) was amazing. Good ambiance, great menu and strong drinks! Will be back soon

Update: we received our order new. Almost 3 hours later... We ordered at this restaurant 6:42 for delivery. Right now is 8:32pm and we are still waiting for our food. 1st and last...

Great food! Nice vibes, good music. I would definitely be coming back for a night cap and enjoy some good music

This is the second time a restaurant has delivered perfection to me. Empanadas we're amazing, and they let you order different varieties. We also ordered mofonguitos--garlic sauce is life changing! Churrasco was one of the best we've had. We also tried the conconcitos as we were unfamiliar. Amazing flavor in everything!! Are too much but so so happy!

Mi esposo me invitó a este restaurante por primera vez y soy demasiada crítica con respecto a la comida y puedo decir que todo lo que ordenamos para comer fue espectacular y delicioso, creo que es el único restaurante que he comido el mejor sushi, solo tengo dos observaciones para ellos, el primero es, que solicite un jugo natural de fresa y en realidad no era lo que esperaba y la segunda observación es que cuando solicitas la cuenta no te dan el recibo para ver los precios y lo que consumiste, ya la cuenta tiene el porcentaje por el servicio incluido y no te lo hacen saber, si uno quiere dar un tips adicional te lo deberían mencionar antes.

Absolutely especially on a Saturday or Friday even their night menu is really nice The service is a hit or a miss but they really do try but really depends on how busy they are if they're not busy they do a really good job

Not even kidding, this place is one of the best kept secrets in Atlanta. We sat at the bar and asked what was good: "Everything" was the reply. That analysis was spot-on. The bartender was exceptional and made me a smoky old fashioned that went down way too easily. I could have drank that all night. My girl had a margarita and said it was one of the best she ever had in her life. I tried it and completely agreed. We eat mostly fish and vegetables so we ordered the salmon and sea bass. Both were as good as any 5-star restaurant in Atlanta or better. The sea bass came with a mofongo base that was as good as the fish itself, which is saying something. The salmon came with some type of mashed potato that was crazy good and complemented it well. Both fish were cooked perfectly, and that's a challenge with a thick cut of sea bass, but the kitchen nailed it. My girl also tried the wings and loved them. Bottom line; this is, without question, one of the best restaurants in Atlanta. If you're adventurous enough to explore Buford Highway, you will be rewarded with some of the best Latin food you will ever have.

It's a hit or miss type of place. Pros: Crispy Calamari Chicken empanada Conconcito Red Snapper Tamarindo margarita Cons: Waiter was not attentive at all. There was another table who was getting up and getting their own stuff for the table. Beef empanadas- bland. Churrasco was awful. The chimichurri sauce was just oil (just don't order it). Habanero Margarita was the absolute worse. Undrinkable, worst I've ever had.

I can't wait to go back! Whenever you're around Dominicans, there is always a party! The food, the hookah, the drinks all a 10/10! The owners wife is Panamanian and that was the cherry on top!

Good food if you don't mind people vapping or hukkah!,,,,freaking loud music. Hhhhjjjkk

Food is amazing, the ambience is a cool Latin vibe, the service is good. My only 2 issues is that they don't give you an receipt to see what everything cost before paying. They have it on a small tablet and tell you how much it is by mouth, on top of that GRATUITY is included but they don't tell you that. People need to see their receipts before paying, that's how it suppose to be. My next issue is when we called in to see if they were open they answer speaking Spanish as if all their customers are Spanish. Never experienced that from any foreign restaurant before no matter the type of food or ambience it is. Other than that the food and drinks are great.

Best mojitos in Atlanta! Hands down! All the food options were mouthwatering. We ordered the Mangu and the Salpicon- do yourself a favor and order them both. Yum!! Will become one of our favorites for sure!

The food is amazingggg I love their sushi's. Their shrimp monfongito is the BOMB, their drinks are good I usually get the passion fruit margarita. Clean presentation, they sell hookah as well. It's a nice vibe. Sometimes on Friday or Saturday evenings it's packed and the young ladies at the front I experienced twice on Fridays they weren't really helpful or accommodating. Would love if they allowed reservations

The customer services was very poor, waitress messed up our order and our 4 year old got her food way after everyone was do eating. I had to call random waitress due to the lack of service from our waitres. She lack communication skills, attention skills, and customer service over all. The food was not good at all, we order 3 different sushi rolls because we wanted to try something new. To our surprise all 3 were the same with a different sauce... 100% dissatisfied and disappointed.

Place was very good, food was good but presentation was great and drinks where great,will recommend but it's puertorican food with a twist or Americanized but very good.

Atmosphere 2/5: This place is not climate controlled. They have their front door opened which attracts bugs and flies. Seating space was small and weirdly arranged. Food 1/5: Food was horrible. Not fresh at all. I found a hair in my food. Service 3/5: waiter is ok. They didn't charge me for the meal because we stop eating after we found the hair.

TIP INCLUDED for the worst costumer service experience that I've ever had, they don't let you see your receipt before pay cause they want that you give them even more tip

We just recently went here and I would give 0 stars if that was an option. The service was terrible and my Husband's food was horrible. We had such high hopes because our server started out really nice and the salsa is amazing. She had several tables while the hostess stood around talking at the bar. Once the restaurant started to fill up, the service went downhill. We never received one of our appetizers and the server clearly forgot to put in my Husband's pork chop meal so it had to be rushed. Once the pork chop meal came out, it had NO FLAVOR at all and the mashed potatoes were bland. Not a pinch of salt or any flavor was added to that dish. After about 3 SMALL BITES my Husband just could not eat it. When we brought it to the server's attention she took the plate back to the kitchen. She then comes back out and tells us we had to pay for his meal...wtf? We then told her "If we have to pay for it then tell your kitchen to fix it...at least add some jerk sauce." She came back singing a different tune and told us it was taken off our bill only after insulting us stating that 3 ppl ordered the same thing and didn't have any issues. Ok and I bet you didn't forget to put in their order and I bet it didn't have to be rushed...like get out of here with that foolishness. All together we paid $67 for a Margarita, beer, empanada appetizer with beef and 2 orders of sushi. I would recommend getting your food Togo. We definitely will not return to this restaurant.

I have been wanting some mofongo for a while and had this restaurant on my collection list. I happen to have been on this side of town so I figured why not venture to Boga Latin. When we went in, there was only one table eating which should have been a sign but we figured we give them a try. They apparently have to wait for two weeks for their liquor license so we couldn't have any cocktails which was part of why we were at the restaurant. We saw the pics on Yelp which looked really good. Nonetheless, I had the mango with lemonade drink and my friend had the passion fruit drink. Both were tasty but a shot of Tito would've made it taste even better. We started with the calamari, the chicken empanada and the beef empanada. They were decent. The toppings for the empanada was good. Although I was in the mood for a mofongo, I figured I try ths smaller version that was on the appetizer as I wasn't very hungry. The pounded plantains were fried crispy like a scoop bowl to hold the shrimp. It was a little too crispy for me. I normally like to taste the plantains with a mofongo. The shrimp inside was good but needed more flavor for me. The service is good mostly because we were the only table there. It seemed that they were prepping food maybe for the Sunday brunch as we were the only customers there at 8pm. Maybe when they get their liquor license, this place is booming? It was just okay for us so it isn't one that we'll probably come back to anytime soon.

Went to order food and they had me waiting at the front for 15 minutes before she told me the kitchen was closed. If I clog or them zero stars I would.

We came here for dinner after seeing this posted on social media. The food was beautifully presented and had great flavor. They were even very accommodating in making the dishes without pork. However, the service unfortunately was lacking. We had a party of 5, which they only supplied one bottle of water and a small bowl of chips and dip. We had to ask several times for refills of water. They also did not have several of the sushi items available to order as it was pre-made. There was a very long wait on our orders, which the waitress did not even recognize they brought the appetizer out and presented as my main course. They brought out the main course at the same time, as she didn't even realize the items on the menu. We had to wave down the servers for missing items and to check on our food. Another friend didn't get her plate and we had to wave down a server to find they forgot to make her order. We were all done with our food by the time hers was ready. Unfortunately not the best experience due to the service.
