Review Summary

Reviews paint Bocadillo as a consistently satisfying beacon of authentic Venezuelan flavors with standout arepas, pabellón, empanadas and tequeños, praised for flavorful meats, plantains and a bright, welcoming vibe. Several diners note gluten free options and attentive service, with staff listening to dietary needs and offering helpful recommendations, though one comment mentions a risk of cross contamination with gluten for Yuca fries while other dishes remain gluten free. Arepas are described as delicious and sometimes time consuming to prepare, but worth the wait; the pabellón arepa is highlighted as a favorite. The atmosphere is described as calm and charming, and the interior or location changes are mentioned as positive, with some praise for an authentic, festive feel with music. Prices are flagged as a bit high for some, making it less affordable for students, though many feel the quality justifies the cost; portions are generally satisfying though a few reviews call out smaller portions for price. Positive remarks include fast service, generous fillings, great presentation, and the chance to try a variety of Venezuelan items in one place, with several readers planning future visits when in town.

I really love Bocadillo, I've been loving it since before they changed locations. The sandwiches are super good & filling & feel very authentic, the sauces are also good, meat is very well cooked in my opinion, the plantains are to die for, I think everyone should try & Arepa from Bocadillo.

If there is one thing i would like to say tho is that it is very expensive, yesterday i got just the sandwich, it was 18 dollars before tax & tip & with tax & tip about 23-24. if you want a combo its about 25 WITHOUT tax & tip.

Don't get me wrong the sandwich is very delicious & is quite filling, but I think the price is too much for what we are getting. The thing is i think i would come back here way more often if it was less expensive. For students, this is unaffordable, for others, it is just overpriced.

I spent 40 dollars on a very mid arepa & one very small appetizer that was basically 4 mini cheesy breads. They said they would give me 4 different types of fillings but I think they messed up the order. It had one chocolate filled one, I didn't finish it cause it was so tasteless. Sadly, I won't be coming back because the food wasn't worth the cost. I gave this place a shot cause Aprepera was closed :( I did take out so no comment about atmosphere.

The Arepas were very flavorful & filling, especially the ones with fresh cheese. Good recommendations from the staff & friendly service too.

Nice place, the arepa pabellon special was really filling, loved the arepa & the fries were so good! They mistakenly put avocado in one of the two & had to send it back (allergy) but was quickly replaced. Maybe a bit pricey for some options but great food.

Great gluten free options! Service can be slow, even when it's empty. But that's because everything is made fresh to order. Very filling portions for a fair price.

Delicious Arepas! We got the Pabellon Deluxe & Pepito Cheese steak & it was very satisfying. On the expensive side for sandwiches but it's very filling! We also got a drink but we're not sure if we got the Parchita or Papelon. It was super refreshing regardless & so I would recommend trying their drink as well!

My go to Arepa place! I always get the deluxe! One is never enough for me, but a singular arepa is definitely filling.
