Bocas Grill Kendall really knows how to do Latin comfort food right. The restaurant offers generous portions of food which are presented with artistic flair and strong flavors. The Fish Jalea Bowl stood out as the best dish because it had a perfect exterior crunch and soft interior texture which combined with white rice and tostones and avocado and the vibrant ají amarillo sauce created a harmonious dish. The Picaña Bowl stood as a favorite dish which combined grilled steak with sausage and rice and sweet plantains and the green sauce that people loved to use on all their meals. The mint lemonade at their establishment delivered an exceptional refreshing experience through its perfect citrus-mint combination which they served at a chilled temperature with intense flavor. The soups provided a comforting experience through their simple yet comforting taste and the cappuccino brought the meal to a close with its velvety texture and attractive presentation. The service was fast and the staff provided good attention while maintaining a clean and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant provides reliable service for all meal times including lunch and dinner and beverage service. read more

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. read more

This was an incredible find! We were in the area and saw that it was nearby, so we stopped in. It was serendipity. We started with the arepitas. They were delicious. The pulled pork was the best. I had the parrilleta bites. There was a generous serving and it was all expertly prepared. My wife had the noodles from the ocean. The fish was delicate and moist and the portion was so large she had to take half of it home. My son had the Tostones Simon Bolivar and he devoured it. Don't miss the special lemonades. We had the coconut lemonade and the passion fruit juice. Definitely worth a second visit! read more

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". read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Just close down! This place been declining in quality Month after Month. You may have lost a chef or something is extreme wrong! Rice is hard and salty and chicken under cooked. Avoiding this place going forward. They need to just close it. Take passion in what you and do it cause you love it especially when handling other peoples food. read more

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! read more

This place is good they have delicious tasty food and always fresh. You can't go wrong!

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. read more

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 read more

Food was great but service was even better! Will go back for their soups they are delicious

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. read more

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! read more

Delicious Latin food! They offer lunch deals on weekdays where popular meals are discounted. Also served with soup of the day. I like to explore the lunch menu and try everything and it's good and they prepare the food very fast. It's a pretty small restaurant so they can seat about 20 people inside and another 10 or so outside. The place does get packed for lunch. Everything on the menu looks amazing but my issue is the price. It's very expensive to eat here outside of the lunch deal so I haven't tried a lot of the items. They have giant desserts meant for sharing. Staff is nice and attentive. Large parking lot in front of restaurant. Very busy plaza but parking not an issue. read more

I decided to stop by here since I was right next door at another shop and since I saw they served the same dish as PISCO Y NAZCA across the street I decided to give them a try. It was honestly a horrible mistake since the food tasted really bad. The chicken was tough and the rice which seems to be Basmati rice tasted pretty weird and btw I'm familiar on how basmati rice tastes since I eat it frequently. The black beans which are not pictured were dry and thick. The sweet plantains, coconut lemonade, and the fries were fine. Sadly I came here for the actual meal and not the sides. The service was ok but that's it just ok. I honestly don't believe I'll ever go back. read more

Such a good local gem we found! Let me start off by saying that our server was fabulous. She warned us about the restaurant not having a full bar (their cocktails are wine based) but we ordered the Moscow mules. We did not like them.... and with no hesitation at all she swapped out our drinks. So here's a tip: stick to the sangrias, wines, and beer selection. The food was delicious and the portions were very fulfilling. There's light music playing and the restaurant is pretty casual so it's a great place to stop at when you want good food, good service, and don't have to get all dolled up to go to a fancy restaurant. read more

Bocas Grill Kendall - Fried Green Plantains with Lomo - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

Venezuelan restaurant with a Peruvian twist. The best of both worlds if you ask me. You can get some if you fave peruvian dishes inside an Arepa. Yummy. We've been here several times. This time we tried their parrilla supposedly for 2-3. At first I was worried we didn't have enough, but then we had a hard time finishing it. But totally worth every bite. We had a typical Venezuela dish, their parrilla with some arepitas and a typical peruvian dish, the lomo saltado. Both were delicious! The service is nothing to brag about and the location is a simple local restaurant, but their food is great so we always go back for that. read more

I'm giving my rating based off of my Uber Eats order that I just received. I've dined in here numerous times and always get the pisca andina soup and the lomo saltado. Of course, like every restaurant, they hike the prices up on Uber eats but what I got delivered was nothing like when I dine in person. The soup had NO cheese (the best part) in it and maybe like 2 or 3 tiny pieces of potato. It was mainly just broth, for $12.50 what the heck. The lomo saltado priced at $31 online had 6 pieces of meat total. I'm so disappointed, never again. It's almost like they half ass their to go orders because they know they can get away with it since there is no direct communication with the customer. read more

Carolina was an absolute amazing server. She was very sweet and attentive. The over all atmosphere was a ten. We live in Hollywood which is a 30 min drive from here but we will definitely back. I ordered the pichania fettuccine which was super creamy and had such a rich flavor the meat was perfectcooked to temperature and tender, my husband had the loma soltado tostones and it had so much flavor , my youngest son had chicken tender and my oldest had a classic burger. To top it all off we had a nuttela brownie with vanilla icecream. It was so warm and perfectly moist .sssooooo gooood.... We will definitely be back again.

Visiting from San Diego and pulled off the turnpike for a bite to eat and randomly selected Boca because the line at chick-Gil-a was too long.......and glad we did! Unassuming, The ambiance is fast and fun and the servers are the stars of the show; cute, efficient, and and the service was excellent! I love the way they greeted us in complete Spanish even tho their English is perfect. Speaking Spanish myself, I enjoyed the indulgence and translated for the table. We ordered a sampler appetizers, complete with cheese arepas and empanadas, a cilantro aioli on the side and a few slices of fresh cheese. For the mains, the table ordered a burger, which I'm told was delish, a platter that included shrimp, grilled vegetables, and mashed potatoes; you actually call your own sides. I had the Tostones with lomo ( fried green plantains, tomatoes, onions, beef, and cheese......was really tasty! The portions were all very generous, I could have split my entree with another person but was all good. read more
