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.
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!
I was surprised how small it was inside, definitely more of a take out place. But the food was delicious, particularly the yucca fries. Unfortunately it is a bit expensive. Over $16 (before tax) for essentially a small sandwich; this felt like a bit much even if it tasted really good.
We were craving for some empanadas & we found this place. The food was great, the waitress & other workers were all super nice & attentive. We got our food quick. The food came hot & fresh. We had ordered some arepas, tequenos, empanadas & the steak sandwich & me & my friends really enjoyed it & we were so full. I will definitely come back with friends! The vibes were great here & the music was too 😊 Great Latino restaurant in Montreal! I recommend 100%!😋
Nice casual eatery. The sandwiches & burgers are big & well-stuffed. The dining area is a bit small & cramped but the decor is nice. The staff are also friendly.

By far the best sandwich I've ever tasted in my life. Made with love & fresh ingredients, the people that works there are so nice to be around! I can't wait for this summer to come try the terrasse!
My friend was right, this sammy was worth every bite. The pork, marinated in passion fruit juice, garlic, spices & wine is slow cooked for 12 hours. I dunno about you lot, but I can appreciate that sort of dedication. The yogurt bun is quite possibly, I’m convinced, laced with crack, cuz I’m not even down with chewy white bread & I fully failed at proving that. In the end, maybe it was the parsley/garlic mayo that pushed my date with this sandwich from, “yah, he seems interesting” to “we should most definitely hang out again.”
