About

Bocadillo specializes in authentic Venezuelan cuisine defined by signature arepas and cachapas prepared with traditional corn dough. These griddle-cooked staples serve as the primary vessel for diverse fillings ranging from slow-cooked shredded beef to salty white cheeses and savory black beans. The menu emphasizes structural simplicity and bold tropical flavors inherent to Latin American culinary traditions. Patrons encounter a casual environment where the focus remains strictly on the technical preparation of grilled sandwiches and plantain-based sides. Each plate prioritizes the interplay between crisp textures and rich, savory ingredients characteristic of coastal Venezuelan street food. The establishment maintains a streamlined approach to service, ensuring that every order highlights high-quality proteins paired with fresh avocado or spicy garlic sauces. This culinary destination preserves the essence of genuine South American comfort food through focused preparation.

I love Venezuelan food so was happy to try this restaurant with my friends. The arepas are stuffed with ingredients, but overall not a large sandwich despite the heartiness. But overall I was pretty satisfied with the steak one that I got. The meat wasn't of substantial quality but passable, rest of the composition was on point. My disappointment laid in the skimpy portion of plantain, which added $6 to the price...had I know the side portion was that small I would have skipped it. But the plantain was delicious though, perfectly textured through cooking. Service was polite but slow at times. The place looks really nice too, & features a sizable back patio.

Best authentic Venezuelan place I have tried in all of Canada.
Portions are very generous! 1 arepa is definitely enough to feel full

These are not Venezuelan arepas. They use frozen Colombian arepas you can buy at any supermarket & simply grill them. The chicken was drowning in mayonnaise, & the avocado was rotten. We were very hungry & still couldn't finish our food. Terrible experience. I do not recommend this place at all.

(2025) Still amazing food, slight update that I was told that Yuca fries has a small risk of cross contamination with gluten. The rest of what we ate was gluten free.

(2024) Had the Arepa with the Yuca fries (all gluten free). An unexpecting awesome combination.

It's soooo good. I recommend the'pabellón de lux'.
Only thing, the arepas take a bit to make but they're delicious.

Golden, best, most authentic Venezuelan empanadas on mtl island. Arepas are great too. A bit pricey but it's worth it.
