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.

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.

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

I walked in here to have lunch randomly, I was pleasantly surprised with how cute the interior was, but better yet, the food was so delicious. I had fantastic service as well, & let the server know about my gluten intolerance & she was very helpful guiding me in what to eat & also had great recommendations. My lunch was so tasty! Highly recommend.

The place has changed location! The new place is awesome! more space & same tasty food! I highly recommend their cheese empanadas ! if you're up for a comfort food with sort of new classy ambiance, it's the place to go.

I had La Llanera with potato fries. The tender, fatty, flavourful beef & homemade cheese paired so well with the fresh avocado & tomato in the corn bread were delicious. I highly recommend trying. The fries we ordered were a little small for the basket, but the basket was quite large, & I thought that was still good value. Service was personable, friendly & attentive. Atmosphere was missing a certain something in my opinion, but no real complaints. This would be my go-to lunch place every week if the it wasn't 18$ per small-medium hamburger sized portion.

J'ai adoré mon arepa! Exactement ce que j'avais envie de manger ce soir là. Ce n'est pas un restaurant chic, un ́peu plus comme un fast-food mais je me suis sentie bien quand même. Je recommande !

The best arepas ever! This is a must stop for me anytime I'm in mtl. Arepas are made fresh & the meats are super tender, Juicy, & seasoned to perfection. Portions are solid for the price & literally everything I've tried here has been a hit. If you've never had Venezuelan food, trying bocadillos will ensure you love it! Highly Recommend!
