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

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!

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.

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

Ianka S.

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.

Mercy M.

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!

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!

The food was pretty good, the spot was pretty busy for 4 pm on a Thursday. We ordered a Parrilla to share, it was more than enough food for two ppl.

I'm from Atlanta, and was just visiting Miami. So I feel very fortunate that I found this place. Thanks Yelp! I just have to say it was Sooo sooo goood I got the Cachapa with steak, and my wife got the Boca Grill Arepa. Both were amazing. I was already full when I got there but still I ate the whole thing. The Cachapa was mildly sweet, which I wasn't sure I'd like, but it actually goes very well with the steak and cheese. FYI, that IS NOT mozzarella it's queso de mano. (Even though queso de mano and mozzarella are basically the same thing) For dessert we got an ice cream, caramel popcorn, churro sundae thing that was incredible in both taste and presentation. I recommend ONLY ONE for the table. We really loved Bocas Grill. Next time I'm in Miami we will definitely return. One suggestion, please pleas make a Bocas Grill in ATL, GA. read more

We went to Bocas this morning for breakfast and as we expected we enjoyed our time there, because the service was nice, the food delicious and nice background music. We had one order of cheese tequeños; they were freshly made with a delicious white cheese inside. They were juicy like we wanted but I wish the cheese inside was melted. We also had fried little arepas and this were Prefect! Crispy on the outside and soft and hot in the inside, with some shredded cheese inside, this arepitas were phenomenal. The service was great by our waiter who was paying attention of everything we needed. Thank you! Fuimos a Bocas esta mañana para desayunar y como esperábamos lo disfrutamos, porque el servicio fue agradable, la comida deliciosa y buena música de fondo. Pedimos una orden de tequeños de queso; estaban recién hechos con un delicioso queso blanco adentro. Eran jugosos como nos gustan pero desearía que el queso de adentro estuviese derretido. También ordenamos arepas pequeñas fritas y estaban Perfectas! Crujiente por fuera, suave y caliente por dentro, con un poco de queso rallado dentro, estas arepitas estaban fenomenales. El servicio fue excelente por nuestro mesonero que estaba prestando atención a todo lo que necesitábamos. Gracias! read more

Decided to give this place a try with the assumption that it was similar to BOCAS in Doral.. it's not. The BOCAS in Doral is focused on Peruvian, while this place is Venezuelan that sells Peruvian favorites. Different owners and not affiliated with the BOCAS in Doral.. Atmosphere was pretty casual, and small, only holds 38 people.. we walked in and were immediately directed to a table. The menu consist of many options, from breakfast options, arepas, tostone dishes, main entrees, noodles.. However, althougha variety of main dishes, there was a small amount of appetizers, less than 10. In addition, they don't sell Ceviche if any kind, that's also Peruvian so it showed the difference with this not being available. We tried 2 main entrees, their chicha drink ( it's more of a sweet dessert drink) a strawberry lemonade and finished the evening with coffee. It's a plus that the juices are fresh so no added sugar other then what's from the fruit. Bad choice in that sense when getting a strawberry lemonade, very sour and the strawberry didn't balance the drink.. at all, so that was disappointing. We went with the Tostone with Lomo Saltado ( steak) and it was good, a great combination of sauces, cheese and steak. If you enjoy cheese and sauces this is a plus. Only down part was that the tostones needed more time in the frier to be crunchier, especially when loading them with condiments. The 2nd entree was the lomo saltado mix, steak and shrimp and comes with fries and white rice. Rice was great, well cooked and not soft, fries as well were crunchy and tasteful. However the actual sauce used for the lomo which consist of soy sauce, salt, onions, tomatoes had a little more salt then I could enjoy.. so a lot of water was consumed in the process of having this entree. I've definitely had better lomo saltado.. Finished the night with an espresso and their cappuccino special.. what makes their cappuccino special special ? The cups covered in Nutella and breading.. be careful, you may want to bite the cup for the full experience.. All in all the place was ok, hence the rating of the 3 stars.. read more

So I was craving something sweet yesterday, but did not feel like driving too far. Lucky me, Bocas Grill recently opened in Kendall, and are only about 5 minutes from my home. Notorious for their crazy ice cream shakes, my S/O and I went for dessert. He has never had Bocas House/Bocas Grill before, and this was my first time at this location. We arrived there around 8:45pm. They were very busy! The location itself is very nice, and has modern decor. Unfortunately its size is a tad small. Considering the amount of people this place attracts, I wish they had chosen a larger property. Thankfully though there was one last table open, and we were seated immediately. I made sure to check in right away, so that I could use the 10% discount when paying. Gotta love Yelp! I ordered the infamous Nutella milkshake, and my S/O opted for the Oreo Churro shake. The smells from the food around us were heavenly, and although I am not a huge fan of white floured arepas, theirs looked pretty darn good! My S/O is already planning our return here! Thankfully our shakes came out pretty fast, and we were able to focus on what we actually ordered instead of people's food around us! This Bocas Grill adds a nice twist on their Nutella Shake, instead of pairing it with the typical brownie, they placed 2 freshly made rounded churros on top, with nutella sandwiched between. YUM! It was so delicious. I am a huge fan of churros, and theirs were very good! My only complaint would be that the shake itself tasted a bit too much like vanilla. Although this flavor is the base (which I hate) had they mixed in more Nutella, it would have been perfect. My S/O loved his Oreo Churro shake. He drank the whole thing, and ate an entire churro piece. His churros happened to be made from a chocolate base, and were very yummy. Overall we enjoyed our experience here, and look forward to returning for lunch or dinner. Service was great and this place is an obvious success! read more

The food was great but the service was disrespectful. We sat outside and were politely greeted by Diego who was fine but then served by Ari G. Who was un attentive, we wanted to continue ordering but she hadn't been out in about 15-20 minutes to even check if our food or drinks came out okay. Unfortunately we didn't like one of our drinks and wanted to change it but she wasn't coming out or available so I had to get up and walk in. In order to get her attention and she told me to wait and that to go back to my table. Finally we switched the drinks and she disappeared for another 15-20 minutes so we had to order with another server. At the end the other server is the one who brought us our food, drinks, and Togo bags. The manager was outside and we had to ask for our check through him, which when she saw him talking to us is when she finally came out to "sweep" and he told her we asked for the check and she said "enseguida" but in no rush and continued to sweep while we were the only table there and we were rushing to leave, then the manager saw her lack of urgency and said he'd get it himself. He brought us the check, and that's when she finally gave her us attention, when it was time for her to get her tip. My spouse and I are both servers as well so we know how it is. I don't know if she thought just because we are young we wouldn't tip or weren't worthy of proper service. And not to mention the dirty looks she gave me when i went to the restroom. This is a very small restaurant for the server with 1 table to be going missing and so inattentive and by small I mean walking around the entire restaurant in 10 steps. read more

Because we really enjoy the food there, and the staff was very nice, i give it 5 stars. However, I didn't love this location as much as the Doral location. We arrived for our reservation and then had to wait 20 minutes for our table. however, i did see them ask another table if they could use one of their 3 tables (no one sitting at one, just her abundance of food) if they could move a table over and she said no. Wow! Not the staffs fault though. Within minutes of us sitting, the waiter brought over a small appetizer and apologized for the wait. We ordered quickly because we are pretty much creatures of habit and order the same thing. Our food was good. My salad, the Boca salad had a little too much Gorgonzola and wish the apples were chopped as opposed to sliced. (I chopped them up)We did have to ask twice for our drinks, but he quickly was on it. We would go back if in town, but prefer the Doral location. read more

I had reservations through open table for 5:45 dinner for 2. I was super excited as it was my first time not only being there but also my first time in 2 Months I leave my house. I had a mommy makeover and today in a long time I feel great and ask my fiancé to take me out for dinner not to crazy and comfy with great food and we chose this place based on their menu. The menu looked amazing but after being seated and looking over the menu and waiting I was asked to be moved because they had a larger party and the table I was seated in ( a table they sat me) was going to be used for a larger party. Listen it's cool you need the table but I think it's poor communication to sit me in one spot and then make me move to another spot that would've been ok but was very tight and i was not going to be comfortable due to post surgery. Although it may sound bratty but it's not. I'm sure If you were in my shoes and made reservations and noted special instructions you would walk out too and leave the same comment. read more

TheBomb.com. Love this spot. The Tostones con Lomo Saltado and the melted cheese is one of my favorite items anywhere. It comes with these amazing grilled onion & tomatoes. SO. GOOD. Pretty much the Lomo Saltado with anything-rice, in an arepa, with noodles, whatever- is a sure bet. Make sure to save room for one of their crazy milkshake desserts. Definitely the stars of the show. The atmosphere is very casual. If you're looking to "dine", head to their more formal property Boca House. This is good for a quick causal bite, or for pickup. It's always very crowded, so be prepared for that. read more

My wife ordered scrambled eggs with sheared beef, arepa with cheese that was good. I ordered fried eggs with lomo saltado "steak with onions with soy sauce that in my opinion was a bit salty in my opinion but must likely its me because I usually don't eat salty foods it came along with a arepa I ordered a diff order of natas to indulge the arepa Great prices for what you get!!

However, my only complaints are the price and the portions of the food. No one needs to eat that much. But I absolutely loved loved the shake I got, the dulce de leche one. I also nibbled on my stepmoms tres leches which was too die for. I don't know if I'd go back, but I would order a shake again! read more

I woke up craving the Venezuelan holiday dish. I live in the SE so there are nos that many options in this area as in Doral for example. So I decided to go to The Bicas grill in Kendall. What a way to Ruin this plate!!!! Pernil was extremely salty, my friend could not even eat it. The hallaca has NO FLAVOR... seriously! We had to ask for siracha to add some kick.... the ensalada de gallina had too much mustard, it was way too overrun with both mayo and mustard but they went over the top with it. The pan de jamón was OK, nothing special. Very disappointed to say the least. I've been to the one in Doral and good is usually pretty good. Whoever did the hallacas for this location should reconsider a different recipe. The mass was so bland, and the seasoning for the inside was 2 stars because the sangrias and the requería were good. read more

LOVE IT!! My boyfriend and I always go to Bocas House and love it so much, so we decided too try Bocas Grill. Is just as great! We are not from Miami, so we never had tequenos before moving here, and now we are obsessed. These were so good that we ordered 2 orders of them. I couldn't stop eating them. The chicken was also sooo good. Our favorite is getting a cool milkshake at the end. It is delicious and looks good in pictures too. read more

My mouth waters just thinking about this place! The 5 stars are honestly given to the food, milkshakes and desserts. They're a Venezuelan, Peruvian fusion-style restuarant that never dissapoints. My husband and I have eaten here several times and we have always ordered the 'parilla mixta Bocas Grill' because it's THAT good. Be aware that this meal is meant to share with 3-4 people, though still at a decent price. The menu is extensive, however, a section that stands out are the desserts and milkshakes, you can literally make a trip here just for dessert as it's very filling, delicious and an art in itself. The staff is friendly but the space is a bit cluttered and always packed. Nonetheless I highly recommend a visit or more. A true gem in West Kendall. read more

I've been eyeing this restaurant for quite some time ever since I saw a picture of their milkshakes. Finally, I was able to go last night and I was quite impressed with the efficiency, taste, cleanliness, and authenticity of Boca's. I had a pretty tasty dish, which was a delicious twist on ropa vieja. The desserts/milkshakes are crazy over the top (and a bit pricey) but you get what you pay for and it's sugar heaven!

Popped in while visiting my sister. This spot is SUPER good. The food is very well prepared, really terrific flavors unlike anything I've had before. Traditional and elevated infusion of Latin flavors. The seating is casual (and honestly the food is very elevated). The prices are very reasonable - I would have paid way more for this quality cuisine. New menu has several very healthy/clean keto options.

I loooove the food and the portions here. Peruvian fusion cuisine at its finest! So many bold flavors! This place is DEFINITELY foodie approved. The best dishes are anything with lomo saltado (very popular according to the waiter) and this is a great place to get the over-the-top milkshakes you see on social media but without all the wait. This location is small but very clean, and quickly attended my friend and I on a weekday afternoon. The service was excellent and the waiter was helpful with menu choices and descriptions of the delicious foods. We ordered tequeños (gouda cheese sticks, kind of like mozzarella sticks but 1000 times better) with a special sauce- WOW! Great appetizer to try. Our entrees were very well portioned (enough for 2 people honestly, and that's coming from someone who eats more than the average person), so I was happy they had to-go boxes so I could take it home. Overall, excellent place to check out in Kendall. It is much less crazy and busy than Bocas House but brings that same flavor and spice that made it so popular. read more

They do well on the presentation. We ordered the lomo saltado and the boca burger with the passion fruit sangria. It looked great! However once I bit into the burger it was nothing special in flavor just a lot of meat. The pork had too much white fat and the beef didn't have much flavor. The lomo didn't have much sauce for the fries (like a traditional lomo). However, the sangria was good with fresh fruit: flavorful and refreshing. We ordered for desert the milkshake. Again it looked amazing. While the shake itself was good, the churro that came on top had a stale texture. The servers are nice. Since it's a small place they will try to hint you to leave once they see you winding down from food. I can only give it three stars because the prices are much too high for the flavor of the food. read more

Great addition to the Kendall Area. Cesar "Cocinero" is no stranger to Miami, or Latin America for that matter. His instagram accounts should be followed and pics/recipes not to be missed. The man is a genius! Anyhow, I have been to BG Kendall a few times and food has been outstanding on each visit. We go at least once a month with the team to celebrate monthly accomplishments and what not. Cesar Burger - insane. highly recommended. Comes with really crispy fries or salad. Lomo Saltado - Peruvian classic dish, my favorite entrée to eat here. Comes with fries and rice. My colleagues had "arepa domino" and really enjoyed.. One day I will venture out to have a reina, but until then Lomoit is! Now let's talk shakes. Chicha is a MUST HAVE. I'd recommend sharing because it's a treat. Also any of their famous shakes, especially the brownie one. OMG. Feeds 4 easily! :) Trust me, you'll be talking about it for weeks. Thanks Bocas!!! read more

The sweetness of the scallops, slight spice from the sauce, and balanced with pickled ginger...perfection. No words after bite 1, near tears after bite 2. Agnolotti (5/5): get this. The corn, crab, sauce...everything about this worked. This is like a healthy work environment where everyone lifts each other up. You'll get the sweet, the chew, the softness, the salty.

You can definitely taste the beefiness from the dry aging and that alone was enough. With the peppercorn sauce it was great.

World Cup traffic had us running 30 minutes late for our reservation, but huge props to the host for seating us on a packed night. They gave us a 90 minute limit, which worked out great for our flight timeline. We were seated outside at a tiny 2 top table (maybe it's a Miami thing). While the courtyard setup is really pretty, the tables are squished so close together. When you order as much food as we do, it's a tight squeeze and feels a bit uncomfortable (and risky for dropping dishes!). Plus, Florida heat + the abundance of flies they had outdoors is a thing. Our waitress Vanessa made sure we got all of our dishes quickly so we could make our flight. Food we ordered that are a must: Parker House Rolls (that honey butter dip is addicting), Caesar Salad, Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, and the Blue Crab Agnolotti (my absolute favorite dish of the night). Paired it with the Circus Permit cocktail which was super fun. Food that I would skip: Sent back the duck terrine. The duck steak fell flat despite all the hype, and the yellowedge grouper was covered in way too many leeks for my taste. All in all, a solid 7/10 vibe with a friendly bar up front. I'd drop in for drinks and a few specific plates, but it's not an absolute must repeat for me next time I'm in Miami.

Run, do not walk to this place!…read more I am from LA and one of my favorite restaurants is Din Tai Fung. I have been on a HUNTING for a good dumpling spot and this one is such a great supplement. We got SO much food! Like an unreal amount, check out the photos. My favorite things were the cabbage and the general tso's chicken but honestly the whole spread was great. Service was top notch, our waitress was really great and super hospitable. The store feels a little new but we love that they have anime playing in the background. It feels like a quick service for sure! We can't wait to come back. 10/10

The restaurant wasn't busy when I arrived, and I was promptly greeted by the cashier and invited to the counter to place my order. I ordered the hand-pulled noodles with spicy boneless short rib soup and the hand-pulled noodles with sliced beef shank. Ordering was quick and easy, and the soups were packaged exceptionally well for takeout with no worries about spills. One of the highlights is watching the chefs make the hand-pulled noodles fresh in the open kitchen. The noodles are on the thinner side, which worked well with both flavorful broths. Both soups were delicious, with tender meats and satisfying flavors that held up well even after the trip home. The dining room has plenty of tables, making it a comfortable option for dining in as well. Based on this first visit, I'd definitely return the next time I'm in the area.

Fue mi primera visita al restaurante, me encontraba super ansioso ya que los seguía en las redes sociales y todo me parecía delicioso nada lejos de la realidad de entrada pedí un appetizer sampler; las arepitas super crujientes y los tequeños son una verdadera locura. La hamburguesa Levin Truffle exquisita super recomendada. Las porciones de las comidas son grandes así que una excelente relación entre cantidad calidad y precio. Obviamente no podría irme sin probar los tan aclamados milkshake escogí el de dulce de leche y buenísimo, La mesera stephany fue super amable y estuvo pendiente nuestro en todo momento. Si vienes a kendall no dejes de visitar este lugar. Y para finalizar el manager se acerco a nuestra mesa para preguntarnos si todo había estado bien. Y nos despidió, muy atentos con el servicio. read more

Went there with my family and we ended up getting the Mushroom/Truffle Spaghetti with Fillet Mignon which was heavenly as was the Caramel Milkshake. Our server was the highlight of the evening though, her name is Oriana, and she is absolutely lovely. Laughed at all my stepdads joke (only one who did given how we've heard all of them before lol), explained or answered all our question which let me tell you we had questions about almost every dish, and kept watch over us like a hawk. Would highly recommend this restaurant. We actually plan on returning for my Birthday this October and I sincerely hope that Oriana can serve us again. My one and most important tip is to definitely ask your server which meal is the best for you or ask them for their honest opinion on what's good and what "ordinary lol" read more

Went to bocas grill kendall today and it was an Amazing experience, arrived there during lunch time with my girlfriend and it was pretty busy, however one of the servers took us to a nice and comfortable table immediately, loved the atmosphere. . we had the fried green plantains with lomo saltado and shredded white cheese on top which was completely out of this world, the cheese gets melted with the lomo and the combination is delicious. We also had the Oreo churro milkshake, what can I say? It's a must try.. never had something like this in my entire life, best dessert ever.. Luis Fernando was our server, always taking care of us, refilling our waters and he was so kind, ask for him when you go there. Thanks bocas kendall for this amazing experience.. we will definitely be back. read more

We were invited back to the restaurant by the owner. We came in today, at 7:30pm the hostess greeted us (very friendly). The waiter was also very friendly, he gave us very good service. His recommendations were amazing, my girlfriend really enjoyed the sangria. The churros were great, warm and delicious! There was a misunderstanding on our last review but I can honestly say that WOW, the service here is superb, they go beyond to satisfy the clients. They enjoy having happy customers. The manager drove all the way to my house at 11:30pm to deliver a refund due to the misunderstandings. To me this is more than superb service. They truly deserve the five stars. I will definitely be back soon! And recommend to anyone. read more

Bocas Grill es excelente en todo sentido. El sabor de todas sus comidas son espectaculares, he tenido la oportunidad de degustar distintos platos. Su servicio es extraordinario, uno se siente como en casa. La ultima vez que fui ordene para compartir con un grupo una parrilla, la cual estaba divina, la carne super blanca, las arepitas con nata riquísimas, la yuca excelente y ademas ordenamos una arroz al wok de camarones con un sabor inexplicable. Puedo decir con propiedad que las milkshakes de Bocas no hay en ningún otro lado. La de dulce de leche espectacular y la de Nutella ni se diga. Mi experiencia ha sido excelente y le recomiendo a todo el mundo que vayan si no han ido. read more

Good experience overall. The service was quick and good. We got 2 complimentary mimosas because of a special they had with lunch. I ordered the lomo saltado tostones and my mother ordered the picaña. The taste was great for both, the meat was juicy. The tostones were in the bottom of the lomo saltado so they became saggy, but nonetheless it was delicious. Maybe next time I'll tell them to put the tostones on the side. My mom also enjoyed her meat, it was very tender. For dessert we ordered a dulce de leche milkshake with churro and ice cream on top of it. DELICIOUS. I would recommend this location to anybody that wants to have a quiet lunch. read more

Great place! and awesome service this place left me astonished by how well they were set up. right in time on top of everything very attentive to everything you needed and the food was to die for! we had the arepitas with i believe it was a garlic sauce it was so tasty and soft! they were ready as soon as we put the order in. i also had the bocas soup. and wow i left wanting more! i really like the place only thing is quite small and a bit pricey at least for they milkshakes but yet again they're known for their extravagant toppings i think they should expand it but overall great place food excellent as well as the service. thanks bocas! read more

My friend and I decided to come in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We had heard plenty of good things about this place from other friends and social media so we had high expectations coming in. We were greeted and seated quickly, our server - David, was very friendly, attentive and more than willing to recommend and guide us through our first meal here. We were overwhelmed by the variety of delicious options on the menu and started off with sangria. We are sooo full that we didn't have enough room for a milkshake but we did try the churros which were a-ma-zing! Highly recommend this restaurant for the food and the awesome staff. read more

Our waiter Luis Fernando was the best! Also loved Franklin E.! I will be dreaming of the churrasco! Service was absolutely wonderful. Still amazed by the huge spoons for the milkshakes! Definitely will be coming again soon and will recommend everyone from Hialeah to come over to Kendall! -Kenia Kenia's review is 100% certified by her business partner Maria Fernanda. We visit tons of restaurants and review them all across Miami. Head over to Bocas Grill now & ask for Luis Fernando! Churrascos to dream about, spoons that are bigger than most, a constant fill of water, as well as churros galore! Thank you... read more

Bocas just opened in Kendall! I went with two of my friends to check it out. We heard a lot about the original Bocas House in Doral from social media posts and were pleased to see a Bocas open close to where we live. Our food was delicious. They easily catered to our dietary requests. We ordered the Lomo tostones, shrimp wok, and the carne asada arepa llanera all came out great. Dessert was phenomenal- the Bocas milkshake was Oreo with Nutella, whipped cream, chocolate churros and ice cream. Small but homey atmosphere, friendly staff. Huge menu. Looking forward to returning. read more

An amazing place!!!! I had been passing by in front of the restaurant every day since I saw the "opening soon" banners wishing they were already opened! Lol but they finally opened and food was exactly what I hoped to be and better! They had a very extent menu with something better and yummier every time you read an item! The staff is amazing! I think our waiter RAfael secretly knew us because he knew exactly what we wanted! He knew that menu like a chef and served us like we were kings! I will be back every time I have! Thank you for bringing Bocas to Kendall! read more

Completely blown away, a lot of my friends had told me to go so I decided to give it a try, I went with my wife and as soon as we got there we were greeted and seated, we were very lucky because the place was crowded, To begin we had something called cachapa tower with cheese and shredded pork, Unbelievable!!! We had the parrilla mixta for lunch and tres leches for dessert. Excellent food, parking spaces always available, customer service best I've had this year. Big thanks to Manager Fernando for the attention, we couldn't be happier. 100% recommended! read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon to have lunch my fiancée. We are big fans of Lomo Saltado and we've heard how great it's at the Bocas franchise. Upon arriving we were greeted by hostess and then by Miguel our server. Although the place was packed, we were seated promptly. We ordered the Lomo saltado and a pitcher of Sangria. The lomo saltado was soft and tender, very juicy. Overall the experience was great but I can easily see them outgrowing this place with their popularity. I suggest you try Bocas grill in Doral as well. read more

La hamburguesa levin truffle sin duda es una de las mejores y diferentes que me he comido. El pan es increíble suave con el aderezo de aceite de trufa la combinación perfecta, y la carne sin hablar, es de picaña o también cómo dicen de mi país punta trasera, ósea el mejor corte y se siente el sabor, no no no y el tolete de queso Paisa. Me devolvió a mi país en segundos. Gracias bocas grill por esa experiencia. El servicio es increíble. Y el oreo churro Milk Shake. Es una obra arquitectónica. read more

Acá al fin en Kendall ya tenemos la famosa chicha, toddy y arepas de Bocas Grill. Me encantó la infraestructura, es mucho más bonito y tiene cervezas, vinos y sangrías. Excelente servicio y rica comida. Apenas tiene una semana abierto y eso puede traer demoras propias de la adaptación pero vale la pena ser comprensivos en esta etapa si quieres comer divino y disfrutar de todo lo que el menú ofrece. Tienen Lunch Special entre semana y abren hasta los domingos desde tempranito. Me encantó. read more

Volví a Bocas Grill Kendall como había prometido y no se cual visita fue mejor, si la anterior o esta, realmente delicioso todo lo que pedimos, los tostones con camarones de entrada, de platos principales ordenamos lomo saltado (entre los mejores que he probado) churrasco y tallarines de lomo y camarón, para terminar un cafe que al ver que lo sirvieron para la mesa de al lado no pude resistirme y no podía faltar para cerrar con broche de oro, el famoso milkshake. Volveré muy pronto read more
