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.

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!

Nice location with a charming terrace. Excellent service but the sandwiches are nothing extraordinary.

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.
