    Inside seating

    I was excited about trying this place. Reviews were amazing and I have only heard good things about this place. Parking was easy. This can be a busy strip mall. When we came in no one greeted us so we just found a table to seat ourselves. We did finally have someone come to our table with menus but they didn't offer us water or take our drink orders and they never said much. They have a lot to offer from their colorful menu along with lunch specials. We ordered from their lunch specials tallarines salatodos con piccata. It came with a drink and a choice of soup or salad, and we ordered soup, which was a very good choice because it was delicious but unfortunately it was not serve hot. The steak temperature was perfectly served but the quality of the meat was not good. They offered to get us another order, but unfortunately the second steak order was the same so we ate everything but the meat. They did offer for us to place another order but we chose not to. We never asked for our meals to be removed from our bill but they gladly did. We were sitting at a table under the AC vent and we asked to move and they were very accommodating. The restaurant is small but doesn't feel very crowded. I am not sure if I will come back, but if I do I will unfortunately not order their steaks. If I return and my experience is better I will update my review.

    The food is delicious but the plate are a little over price for the type of restaurant that look like a cafetería Plastic tables and plastic chair in a small locations. The service was excellent at list with us the waiter was very friendly and the food was served fast even with the restaurant it was almost full . The sangria was delicious is a bottle of wine with a cup with fruit and ice . The bottle of wine is open in front of you good taste. Recommended to everybody

    Bandeja Paisa

    We stopped here while we were out running errands. We're newish to Miami and had never been before, but it always comes up in my Yelp searches so I was curious. When we got there, there was only one small table in the back that would fit the three of us so we took that one with our toddler in a high chair. The menu was huge, with so many great looking options, so it took a while to look over and decide on what I wanted. I had the Nutella cappuccino to start, and my husband drank the coconut lemonade. Both were great! Our appetizer was the tequeńos which were so good. I would go back just for drinks and those tequeńos lol. For my meal I had the Simone Bolivar Tostones with Wok Smoked Lomo. I thought these were amazing! I don't eat beef often, but it was cooked just right and was tender, and I just loved this meal. My husband had the Bandeja Paisa. He felt like it was okay but the meat wasn't seasoned very well. Our toddler had the chicken tenders and fries which were also delish! Our server was so friendly, and interacted sweetly with our baby which always makes a difference for me. She was friendly and personable. The ambiance was nice for what it's worth. But, this is a small restaurant in a strip mall plaza, with small and simple table and chairs which is fine, but the prices were not proportionate to that. Our bill ended up being about $130 after tip which seemed like a lot for a simple lunch in a pretty but casual eatery. I will def go back but not often bc if I'm going to spend that kind of money I'd rather someplace a little "fancier".

    I love Bocas. I've been for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My favorite items are the cachapa with picanha or chicharron, the lomo or the pabellon. I recently went for breakfast and they have new combos both of which were tasty and filling. They have a good selection of coffee, teas, and sangria. I've never had a bad drink or meal there. The restaurant is small but well decorated and also has some outside seating. On weekends in the evening you will have to wait. The desserts are over the top amazing so save room for a shake!

    Mandocas!!
    Gerry L.

    I am going through a carnivore stage in my life right now and really have gained an interest in all types of meats. My coworker recommended Boca grill because it's a Venezuelan chain that is expanding all over Miami and their menu also has some Peruvian and other Latin American influences. So we arrived in a big group and very hungry so we decided to order several plates to share. To start we ordered the mandocas, which is a fried plaintain and cornmeal dish topped with a variety of shredded meats drenched three different types of sauces. All three of the mandocas were tasty but personal favorite was the avocado flavored. For the main entree we ordered picanha fettuccine, chicken tenders and fries, parrilirita bite (rice bowl with steak, chicken, and fries) and their surf and turf parrilla (steak, chicken, sausage, and grilled calamari, and guasacaca). All the meats were grilled and well seasoned and we had enough food to feed us for two days. By the grace of God we were able to make room for dessert and ordered their Nutella brownie, but it was a little underwhelming. But the service here was what stood out, very friendly staff and made sure that every detail meet our expectations.

    We decided to check out Bocas Grill since it's near our home and it was a fantastic choice. The restaurant was cute a nice small spot. We did go on a weekend night so there was quite a few people but the service was still great! The food was delicious! We got a parilla mixta and it was phenomenal. It was a lot a food so we were able to take left overs home. The menu has so many yum items so I suggest going hungry if you're going to stop by.

    A great spot for arepas, cachapas, milkshakes, & more in Kendall. Came here in between pickleball sessions since it was pouring rain and we were hungry. The parking lot in front makes it super easy for parking although the spaces are super narrow. When we walked in, we were able to be seated right away with a party of 6 and a baby. The service was quick and friendly & they made sure we had our drinks + our orders taken in a timely manner. A few of us chose to share food since the prices are a bit high here. We shared the pelua arepa (shredded beef with shredded yellow cheese), surf and turf fried rice, and the pork belly cachapa. If you're a fan of sweet and savory, I liked the pork belly cachapa a lot. The surf and turf fried rice was okay but on the moist side as described on the menu, which I was not expecting to but it was still good! For dessert, we had to get the milkshakes! The brownie one was a hit which had a nutella flavor for the actual shake and the oreo milkshake came with churros on top. Both lived up to the hype and I'm going to probably crave that nutella shake again soon. They were able to split our checks and we paid no problem. Although they have Yelp check-in offer, they unfortunately don't honor it, so I would just make a note of that. Overall, a great place to grab a bite in Kendall!

    Our next family food adventure take us to Bocas Grill located in Kendall with a category of 4.9 and more than 8.908 reviews, returning after 6 years without coming. The quality increases; everything feels fresh in every bite you try, and the presentation is good and striking, combining the colors and flavors of a country rich in traditional cuisine like Venezuela. My wife ordered the Pisca Andina , it was like opening a portal to memories of her home country, along with a cachapa with queso de mano and chicharon, something difficult to forget. My order was special fried rice, a combination of land and sea, perfect, delicious and exquisite. Each bite encouraged me to take the next one until the end. The customer service is the best in recommending and serving, our waitress Carolina is professional and friendly, I also want to thank the manager Luis after 6 years he recognized us, he always served us the same way.

    Fried Rice with veggies, Chicken Fingers, Arepa,  T-Bone Steak, Chicha

    This place was amazing. Our waitress Valentina was sweet and attentive. She talked to us like acquaintances instead of any average customer. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It was an open space with big windows that made the area look more expansive and welcoming. The place had a red and black color theme which added to the place's authenticity. The only reason I could not give 5 stars is like many four-star places (at least in my opinion), there was only one vegetarian option that wasn't a salad and it was not marked on the menu with any keyword so it was hard to find. I recommend a veggie burger added to the menu and I would for sure come back to try! Overall, this place was delicious and my meat-eating family said that the arepa, chicken fingers, and steak were amazing. I absolutely loved the veggie fried rice I ordered

    The simplicity of comforting food at Bocas Grill is elevated by rich flavors and expert seasoning. We ordered the grilled chicken with fried yucas and the Picanha on the grill--both were perfectly cooked, generously portioned, and deeply satisfying. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. While we didn't try the desserts this time, it's clear they're a house favorite--we saw many of them making their way to nearby tables. I'll definitely be coming back.

    I adore this location. Everything my family and I order is always enjoyable. From starters to sweets, or a final espresso to complete the meal. Delectable! Friendly welcoming staff. There has always been outstanding and superior service.Perfect for a family and large groups. Good parking. Not many locations like this. A treasure!

    Desert amazing

    Food was very tasty and delicious.Drinks were good. Service was good. Negative part is that place small, not so good for big parties of 8 or more and they don't take reservations.

    Stephanie A.

    First time visiting here, and I have to say the food is exceptional! We went on a busy Saturday, and although it's a smaller place, we got seated quickly. All the employees were incredibly nice and helpful, offering recommendations for our food order. I had the wok-smoked steak, which was absolutely delicious. As a huge fan of Peruvian cuisine, this dish did not disappoint. My friend ordered the arepa, and I tried it too--it was amazing! The place itself is charming with a beautiful atmosphere. Everyone is welcoming and helpful. They have a wide variety of food options, making it perfect for groups with diverse tastes. Definitely check it out!

    I knew when I saw the 4.3 Yelp rating and hundreds of great reviews, this was the place !! And it…read moresure lived up to its expectations... actually, it surpassed them! The hardest part about dining here was deciding what I wanted to order. I could have ordered the entire menu it looked so good! Helpful tip... check out the menu and know what you're going to order before you get in line. Otherwise you're going to be pressured to order at the front of the line. When you walk in, you place your order and pay for it and take a table number. You need to find your own table. Our service was pretty quick, despite how busy the restaurant was. My cold brew was very good and a nice start to the meal. Our guacamole came next and it was nicely styled with pomegranate, cheese and cilantro on top. Yum! The real star of the show for me was this unassuming looking House Club Sandwich that was to die for. Seriously ... it was so good. I ordered mine without the ham, and it was divine! I wish i lived closer. I'm already dreaming of coming back. My son ordered some kind of short rib/beef burrito and it disappeared so quickly I didn't even get to snap a photo. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a great meal, I highly recommend it. One thing I can say is that it's on the pricey side. $113 lunch for 2 added up super fast but it was well worth it. I'll be dreaming of that sandwich til my next visit!

    I had been seeing a lot of great reviews about this place, so I was excited to try it, especially…read morethe tacos. I ordered the mahi mahi tacos, and while they tasted ok, the portion size felt pretty small for the price. Overall, it came across as a bit overpriced for what you get. The service style is more casual and self-directed. You order and pay at the register, get a number, and then find your own seat while they bring the food out to you. Water is self-serve, and once you're done with your meal, you just head out. There's minimal interaction with staff, which might appeal to people who prefer a more low-key, independent dining experience or want a place to sit and work without being interrupted. That said, the service did not feel very friendly or welcoming. And personally, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed.
