    First time trying Venezuelan meat charcuterie board. It was so delicious really loved the green sauce and the chorizo! Staff was really friendly and was great with suggestions. Ambiance was clean and modern. I would def be back and ask for more chorizo as it was so flavorful!

    I stopped in for take out lunch, as I was in the area. I was greeted immediately. The lady took my order and answered a few questions about the food. She told me that I would receive a text when everything was ready. It took about 12 minutes for my chicken and hamburger lunches . A robot machine carried my food to the side area, where a woman put my food into a bag. The restaurant looked clean. The meals were fresh and had good flavor. I would try again.

    This is a very pretty locale. It doesn't have parking. You may valet your car, and the valet girl will make you still get your own car. It's a very interesting system. The food here is a little over condimented for my taste. Specifically the lomo salteado ( I ordered mine with shrimp-which was a nice option). The desserts are really where this place shines. With decadent towers of ice cream, churros, Oreos in milkshakes. Beware of ordering wine. Mine was definitely turned and it wasn't the first time I experienced that at this particular location.

    This arepa was ginormous! Great portions and delicious pabellon arepa. Their cachapa is also very very good. Service is a little slow but the food compensates for it. Highly recommend both items!!

    We had been here back in 2019 and really enjoyed it. Back in Miami today and came back for another visit. Everything was fresh and well prepared. Some items were exceptional. The Mandocas on the sampler reloaded platter were a surprise. Amazing! The entire sampler was devoured. We loved it I got the pork belly Arepa. I could have used a sauce, but admittedly was excellent as is. My wife and another guest with us got the traditional Arepas, and loved them A fourth guest with us got Jalea Rice (like calamari and bang bang shrimp all in one (including also white fish and veggies in a fried rice). He loved it! 3 of us got their fresh Juices and my wife got a sangria. Virtually nothing to complain about! Our server and all the staff we encountered were super friendly and helpful. They also have a serving robot which was pretty cool

    Bocas Grill Brickell is not a place you go for a "light bite" unless your definition of light is a mountain of arepas stuffed to capacity, steaks that could bench press you, and milkshakes that arrive looking like a Willy Wonka fever dream. The vibes are fun, colorful, and unapologetically over the top, just like the food. The servers keep the energy high, the menu is full of Venezuelan favorites with creative twists, and every plate looks like it belongs on Instagram before it disappears into your stomach. Be warned: you'll probably need a nap afterwards, but it's the kind of nap that feels like victory. If flavor had a zip code, it would be Bocas Grill Brickell. Bring your appetite, bring your camera, and maybe bring stretchy pants as you're going to need them.

    This was our first night in Miami and the restaurant wasn't far from the hotel so we walked there. The drinks and the food were amazing!!! Felix was the bartender/waiter and he really knows what he is doing. Total pro. Inside the bar was nice. We could hold a conversation and there was plenty of good decor to satisfy the views.

    It was our first time coming! Food was very good, large portions, very friendly and knowledgeable customer service and the ambiance was good! We enjoyed the food, good drinks and our waitress was very nice! We are definitely coming back! Strongly recommended. Cheers!

    As I walked into Bocas Grill, I was greeted and seated at the bar. The bar tender Aixa was fast and attentive. I observed there was plenty of seating and seating for people with disabilities. The decor in the restaurant was really nice! Aixa took my order for drinks and dinner. Dinner was served rerelatively fast. Oh, the presentation was incredible, tasty as well! There was a robot which picked up my order from the kitchen and served me at my table. That was impressive! Overall, I had a great experience at the Bocas Grill. You have definitely earned your 5 star review! Highly recommended!

    Picanha bowl
    Rosalyn L.

    I decided to stop and grab lunch from here one day since it was right around the corner from my hotel. As soon as you walk, there was a host stand but no one was there. So I wasn't sure if I should stand there or walk up to the bar. I did walk up to the bar and told the lady I wanted to order food to go. I ordered the Pichana bowl because I had never had it before. It does come with a soup or salad. I got a salad with it but I would suggest you choose a soup since the meal already comes with a salad. It didn't take long at all for the meal to be prepared. I wish they had provided napkins for the order. If you are in the area and want a light lunch, the food was good.

    Denis was great. He treated us well and explained the menu and the restaurant theme. Truly a unique experience and wonderful food.

    I used to order from Doggi's all the time when I worked in Brickell, but I'd never actually dined…read morein. Today, while waiting for something to print at Office Depot, I was searching for a nearby brunch spot when it popped up in my search & I'm so glad I did! First of all, the place is absolutely adorable. It was a packed Sunday morning around 11 a.m. Only one tiny table was left inside, though there were a couple outside too. Honestly, on a beautiful Miami morning, I wouldn't have minded sitting outdoors at all. What really stood out, though, was the service. Gabriela, our hostess and waitress, was wonderful. Warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind with a huge smile. She walked us through the menu, answered questions about dishes I didn't recognize (it's a Venezuelan spot, after all), and made us feel completely taken care of. Even more impressive was that she seemed to be the only waitress on duty yet never came across as flustered or hurried or anything other than pure sunshine! I ordered my longtime favorite, the arepa perica, just like I used to when I worked nearby, along with a fresh-squeezed orange juice and a chicken empanada to try. My father ordered the desayuno criollo. Everything was absolutely delicious. The presentation was beautiful, the plating thoughtful, and the flavors delivered across the board. The space was lively and full of families, making it a great Sunday brunch spot. Everything was spotless, and I don't usually call that out because it should be a given, but the restroom was impressively clean. Like extra clean. I also just learned they have multiple locations now, which is amazing. Well deserved. I can't wait to go back, and I wish them continued success.

I placed an order online through their website and drove to pick it up only to find out that their own website listed the wrong address for this location that Apple Maps has the wrong hours for. What a mess! By the time I got to the wrong address and called to figure out what was going on, my food had been sitting for 30 min and I was still 15 min away from the right address + 25 min to where I was staying. I had ordered arepas, empanadas and ceviche. When I finally arrived to pick up I asked for the food to be remade specially the ceviche since I didn't feel comfortable eating something raw after it seating on the counter for over an hour due to their mistake. There was push back but they finally agree to re make the ceviche only. However the rest of the food was cold by the time we ate it. Very disappointing. Food was ok, not amazing or memorable

Unfortunately, we also ordered the pepito mixto, but it never arrived because our waiter forgot to place the order.

The service is attentive, and the food is excellent -- both in flavor and presentation. It's a place we have genuinely enjoyed visiting. However, during our most recent visit, there were a few concerns that stood out. First, we noticed that the prices listed on the menu did not match the prices on the receipt. While the differences were only a few dollars, it's important for pricing to be transparent and consistent to avoid confusion. We also really enjoyed the live music -- it created a wonderful atmosphere. However, once the band went on break, videos from the same artist played for over an hour. In our opinion, the content seemed directed toward one specific culture. Given that this is South Florida, where multiculturalism is such a big part of the community, it would be great to see entertainment that reflects and embraces a broader audience. Finally, while the food remains very good, the portion sizes feel small for the current pricing. It seems that prices have increased noticeably, and the value does not feel quite as balanced as before.

You bite into that and boom, you're back on the streets of Caracas, eating sabroso and forgetting you're even in Brickell. And the papitas fritas? Una vaina seria.

Can't miss the toppings like alioli, garlic, guasacaca, spicy, or the Venezuelan punch, tartar sauce. Now let's talk billete: the price is a ganga. For what you get, massive portions, flavor for days, and that homemade feel, it's honestly a steal. In this part of Miami? That's a miracle with guasacaca on top. Plus, the crew? Unos cracks.

The server came a few minutes after with a menu, I tried to make it easy so I said "I am just having chicken tenders and a cup of water please". She said "great so you've been here before". After 10 minutes of sitting alone I walked inside and politely asked for a cup of water. She responded "it's free I'll bring it when I'm ready". So I went back outside sat by myself and a gentlemen sat him self and ordered an espresso. The server made his espresso brought it to him while I am still sitting on the hot side walk without a cup of water. She brought the cup of water while I was getting up to leave. At this point it had been 17 minutes. I told her I was leaving and she said I have to stay for the chicken tenders. I said I would have loved to but the lack of service and disrespect made me loose my appetite. She then went on to call me "Pathetic". I didn't respond I've been in the restaurant industry for 27 years have a quite successful restaurant here in Miami Beach. I don't know the servers name she never told me. But if anyone "owners or investors" want to look into the matter I highly recommend it. She had dark curly hair, was over wait and wearing glasses. Calling a guest"/paying customer "Pathetic" is unacceptable.
