There aren’t many restaurants I’ve been to where I’ve walked out feeling like a different person. Usually, a meal is just a meal, good in the moment but nothing that really sticks. Servers are polite, the food is fine, and life goes on. Boda is different. It goes above and beyond in every category: food, atmosphere, and service.
Boda is a new fast-casual Mexican restaurant in Tampa, taking over the former Not Your Average Joe’s Pizza location at 2038 N Dale Mabry Hwy. The restaurant is owned by Andres Farfan, who also owns Riveters sports bar.
The location has only been open a couple of weeks, so new it does not even show up on maps yet. Stumbling across it felt like fate, and I am very glad I did…
