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.
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 !
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.
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!
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.
Food is a solid 11/10. Absolutely delicious in every way possible. Atmosphere is super chill & cozy & service was great. Prices are very affordable especially for such high quality food. Amazing place for the flavors of Venezuela!
