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.

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.

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

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!
