Boquillas was a small settlement in Texas, United States, located on the northern banks of the Rio Grande.
[2] The place existed to service the mining operations at Boquillas del Carmen, Mexico, just across the Rio Grande.
Between 1901 and 1936, María G. Sada ran "Chata's Place", the only store and restaurant in the Boquillas area at that time.
It is now usually known as Rio Grande Village, and consists of a ranger station and other buildings to serve visitors to the park.
[3] The Rio Grande border crossing to Boquillas del Carmen was closed in 2002.
