Cinco de Mayo

Join us this weekend to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with great food, great music and great friends!

Cinco de Mayo—or the fifth of May—commemorates the Mexican army's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867).  In the U.S., it's become the major holiday in celebration of Mexican culture.  And where better to do that then at Boca Grande!

Sat., May 5: CINCO DE MAYO!!
Join us this Saturday for the official launch of our weekend brunch!  Try some amazing huevos racheros, or maybe a delicious mexican fritatta or a full mexican breakfast.  Or tuck into my favorite, the delectable Chilaquiles - mmmm...  Top off your meal with a bottomless mimosa.

Brunch will be available from 10am to 4pm, and will feature Live Jazz by the Don Carter Trio!

Check out our website for the full menu: http://bocagrandenj.com/

The celebration continues into the night with a live performance by CECILIA CELESTE!

Show Time: 11:00pm

Chico Mann, a time-travelling multi-instrumentalist-producer who with drum machines, synthesizers, and guitars has singlehandedly filled the 30+ year gap between afrobeat, afrocuban, freestyle and electronic music while throwing a wrench into the cogs of musical history.

Chico Mann has created a musical time machine that simultaneously fuses the sounds of 1970s Afrobeat, 1980s Freestyle and Afro Cuban in a hybrid beast of culture and tone. Its the big 'what if' Freestyle, Afrobeat & Afro Cuban converged and hit the mainstream for an army of Chicos to pick up where Stevie B, TKA, George Lamond, Sa-Fire, Information Society, Noel, and Cult Jam, and Exposé left off. Chico's choruses of multi-layered vocals with funky guitar lines helps to cool off the heat created between the bass and rhythm creating a unique conversation of color and value that pays homage to the past but raises the bar for the future.
