Fantastic and fresh food and a fun and energetic atmosphere. This was my first time visiting this amazing place and I was pleasantly surprised. The food size and portions were huge, super flavorful and even better the next day. Our server was good, but probably could've been more attentive. We were traveling with a little and he very much enjoyed the fun atmosphere although he wasn't a fan of the fresh lemonade. A bit too sour for his taste. But our server was very happy to get us something he would enjoy. Overall, this was a fun place for lunch. Solid seven out of 10. Be sure to check it out if you're in the Dr. Phillips area. read more

We were excited to try this restaurant after a long day of traveling. Our party consisted of eight people, including two small children. Before arriving, I called to confirm that it would be acceptable to walk in without a reservation and was told that it would. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from the moment we arrived. The server immediately expressed frustration about accommodating a large party without a reservation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were then directed to a table intended for six people, with the expectation that three adults and the children would share a single bench in an extremely cramped arrangement.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I politely requested an additional two-seat table so everyone could be seated comfortably, the manager's response was simply that we could "take it or leave it." Given the lack of professionalism and unwillingness to reasonably accommodate our group, we chose to leave. We will not be returning to this location. read more

We originally went to Dr Phillips to eat at another restaurant but it had a long wait so we decided to try Bocas Grill nearby instead. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a Latin American grill restaurant specializing in arepas and, bonus, the World Cup game with Argentina was on all the TVs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wasn't sure what to get as a lot of items sounded interesting and then my husband noticed the Parrilla Mixta menu items - basically a sampler platter of various items on the menu for people to share. Sold! We got the smallest one, the Parrilla Llanera, and there is also one larger plus a surf and turf with a whole fish and other seafood in addition to the meats. We chose the picanha for our meat and Congri rice as our side. We asked for water to drink and the server brought a flask of water plus limes and lime juice! It was really nice and my husband said he felt like we were sitting outside at a restaurant in Latin America. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The whole restaurant was decorated for the World Cup with different flags and soccer balls everywhere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's also a full bar in the back corner, as well as seating outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The platter came and it looked amazing. Besides the picanha and grilled chicken, it came with chorizo, mini arepas, guasacaca (a Venezuelan guacamole), and Cachapas (sweet corn pancakes with shredded cheese). Everything was delicious, the meats with a great charcoal grill flavor. Plus, we got chimichurri and a yummy Venezuelan hot sauce too. I would definitely come back to get this dish again. read more

We recently visited Boca's, and unfortunately, the service was terrible. The food tasted different, the fries were inedible, and the portions were smaller than usual. That was our last time there. read more

I was in the area and Boca came to mind for a nice moment to sit down. The menu looks different than what I remember but there looked like several delicious items. I got an arepa and blackberry juice. My partner got the jalea and strawberry lemonade juice. The juices are more like a slush but are super refreshing refreshing. My arepa was great until the last few bites. Some of the plantain s weren't cooked and the arepa tasted a little burnt. The Jalea was amazing! I was able to get a few bites. The portion size is worth the price. It had calamari, plantain, shrimp, and white fish all in rice. Highly recommend and it seems to be a favorite. The service was good. Everything came out at a good pace. read more

DELICIOUS. Service was superb, greeted and seated immediately on a Friday night. Food came out in less than 15mins, drinks were always refreshed and empty dishes were always cleared quickly. We ordered the truffle burger, Bandeja Paisa, side of plantains ($4 for 8pieces) and Papelon con limon. This was A LOT of food for two people, we both took home leftovers and it was a meal for breakfast the next morning. I loved the Bandeja paisa, my steak was cooked perfectly to medium rare, pork belly was so crispy and juicy, sausage had a nice snap to it. The plantains were delicious and not oily. The beans, rice, and arepa were great carb pairings. Avocado and jammy pan fried egg added richness and creaminess to everything else on the plate. The Papelon con limon was refreshing, id highly recommend it when eating the Bandeja paisa. It will refresh your palate and balance out the heaviness of the meat platter. Truffle burger was cooked medium rare as well, truffle fries were crispy with a strong truffle flavor. My partner did state that even though it was good, he liked my tray of food much more. Takeaways, the fried plantains and pork belly pieces were the overwhelming stars of the dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The menus could use a wipe down with a cloth, otherwise the restaurant is fairly clean despite what other reviews may state.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Boca in Dr. Phillips is such a solid spot for great food, great drinks, and an overall awesome vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their burgers are next-level -- super juicy, flavorful, and easily some of the best in the area.

The drink menu is excellent -- creative cocktails, great selections, and everything is made with care. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music also adds to the atmosphere in the best way; there's always a vibe the moment you walk in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And the staff here is consistently friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which makes every visit feel easy and enjoyable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Whether you're out for a fun night with friends, great food, or just soaking up the atmosphere, Boca never disappoints![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I came with my niece for lunch on a Saturday afternoon around 2. It was busy! So I was expecting a great experience. The service was less than desirable. We had some questions because we were unfamiliar with the menu and she seemed annoyed by our questions. Then when we got our food my niece had an issue with hers (she's very picky and there was a sauce on it she does not like). The server came and took it away but was obviously bothered and never came back to check if the replacement was good. The food was good but they need to address the service because I would not return given my experience. I had the cachapa llanera which is a sweet corn wrap with cheese and their steak, it was good but next time I will go for an arepa because the sweetness can get overpowering. read more

For starters we got seated immediately. It was a Tuesday night. We ordered two sangria's frozen one passionfruit and one berry. They were both delicious but I must say the passionfruit was the power play. We followed that up with chicharron bites with cilantro aioli for an appetizer and I made sure hubby ordered his food and I just shared from off his plate. He ordered the Bandeja Paisa which I think must be Venezuelan for all the meats because it came with steak, sausage, pork belly, beans, rice, plantain and avocado,. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is pretty noisy, but it adds to the electricity of the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was consistently busy throughout the evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat inside. They also offer outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated next to a mother and daughter who were sharing food that looked amazing. It was quite affordable, you certainly get your money's worth. Bravo!! Well done. read more

I've had Bocas Grill on my list for awhile now after seeing their outrageous milkshakes and desserts all over social media. We happened to be in the Dr. Phillips area the other night and decided to give it a go. It was a bit later on Saturday night and while the place was still busy both inside and on the patio, we were able to be seated right away. Bocas specialized in Venezuelan and Latin cuisine, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The menu is pretty extensive, but we decided to go for one of their sharing platters from the grill section. We ordered the Parrilla Llanera which included 6oz of picanha, 8oz of grilled chicken breast, 1 chorizo sausage, 5 fried arepitas, cachapa with llanero cheese, special guasacaca, chimichurri, nata, homemade hot sauce, and our choice of one side which we selected rice for. The picanha & chorizo were very tasty and cooked perfectly. The chicken breast was a bit dry, but it tasted good when dipped in their homemade hot sauce. I wish someone would have explained the different items on the platter and how they recommend pairing the sauces. The server dropped the plate down so quick and then ran away and we didn't see her again for awhile. We had to flag down someone else for little plates. We were a bit confused by the bowl of guac with sliced avocado on top and what seemed like a side of sour cream (nata I believe). They felt kind of random and we weren't sure how they were supposed to be enjoyed with the other items. I ended up dipping the cachapa in the white sour cream and it was surprisingly really good. It's like a sweet corn pancake topped with cheese and it was probably one of my favorite items on the platter. This is definitely plenty of food for 2 people and we were absolutely stuffed afterwards. So stuffed that we didn't even have room dessert (they are HUGE!) but I did enjoy a glass of their fresh passion fruit juice which was kind of like a slushy. I will say that this meal was a great value for the price. The platter was $45 which is all we needed, and I can't even tell you the last time we saw a $50 bill for a sit-down date night out. We'd definitely go back and try some other things on the menu. read more

Bocas is one of my favorite restaurants when I'm craving flavorful and satiating portions! There's so many options to choose from, but I always come back for the wok style steak pesto pasta dish. The portions and the flavor win me over every time. The passion fruit sangria is also one of the best I've had! The location is amazing too as there are other restaurants in the plaza. There is inside and outside seating, but I prefer to sit outside as the inside area is small and can get crowded on weekends. read more

I've been want to visit Bocas for a long time, and I finally came over with a group of 7, and this is one of the best restaurants for groups as there are platters that can be shared, and the food is cooked to liking! You need an appetite when you come here because the portions are very friendly! The restaurant has inside and outside seating, and it can get busy as it goes later into the day. The service was great, however it took a while for out server to come back around to check on us. I'd return to try more of the menu and the cocktail menu. read more

Bocas Grill Orlando - Cachapa Llanera was flavorful and enough for sharing. Highly recommend this dish. - Latin American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

My fiancé and I decided to try Bocas Grill, just checking out some spots near our house, and we'll definitely be back! We ordered the Parrilla Surf & Turf and it did not disappoint. It came with 6 oz Picanha on the Grill, grilled chicken breast, chorizo, salmon, calamari, guasacaca, chimichurri, and two sides of our choice. Everything was so flavorful and the portions were generous--we definitely got our money's worth. The service was great as well. Our server did a really good job explaining the menu and making sure we were taken care of. The only downside was the cocktail I ordered--it wasn't great, so I'd probably skip the drinks next time and stick to the amazing food. The menu can be a bit overwhelming with so many options, but I'd rather be overwhelmed than underwhelmed. There's something for everyone, and we'll be coming back for sure! read more

Second time here, would give 3.5 stars if possible. My plate was very good look at the photo,the one point down was some shrimp weren't clean But my wife ordered an fried rice with lomo that wasn't good, tasty was like burned, maybe used too much sesame, I don't know. Service was good. Note : I eat a lot, and just ate 70% of my plate, it's big! The atmosphere it's cool, recommend seat outside. read more
