Was staying down the street a few months ago, and my friend had looked up places to eat so we stopped in. It was soooo good. The staff was fun and great, food was fabulous, and the decor was beautiful. Looks like it might have closed, so I'll have to try another location next time I'm in Miami! read more

I ordered for pick up. The food was fresh and warm, and I genuinely enjoyed it. I got the mahi mahi lunch special with fried plantains and sautéed vegetables. It comes with a soup or salad, and I got a salad. The "salad" is just greens with balsamic dressing, and about a quarter of the greens were spoiled, so that was a bit disappointing. It's really great amount of food for the price. I will definitely go back and recommend it. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Bocas Grill Brickell - My platter - Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

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 read more

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. read more

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!!!

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. read more

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! read more

We came in after a long morning of traveling. Keep in mind only a two people spoke English the rest were all Spanish. All the staff members were very kind. We ordered PARRILLA MIXTA BOCAS GRILL, it was very filling that fed 4 people. They also brought us F R E E cheese bread! We also got two sides since the menu says the price includes two sides. When we got the receipt we were told the menu is outdated and although it says two sides are included they aren't. We had ordered a salad with ranch as the server Julian told us they had ranch. However when they brought the salad out I had no dressing. I asked several times before I was told they do not have ranch. The only had a house, balsamic and Caesar. We ordered three drinks as well. The food and drinks rang our bill to about $145. The place was nice to try out as we've never had Latin American. read more

Venuezuelan but they cook as much as possible in a wok. I had ceviche and soup, so the question of grill versus wok didn't come up. I assume that this Venezuelan cook likes woks better than grills for the same reason Chinese cooks like woks better than grills. You can flash saute things quickly so they retain their flavor. We avoided the question of "If Ron DeSantis is anti-woke, does that mean he is anti-wok too?" I suspect the answer is yes, but nobody knows for sure. Stupid political jokes aside, Bocas is a first rate place. I endorse it highly. * * * Our table ordered all sorts of different things. Everyone was happy. The star of the table was Fosforera, a spectacular Seafood/Tomato soup. When I was oohing and aahing with pleasure, Everyone else at the table wanted spoons to check out the Fosforera themselves. They oohed and aahed too. On the comfort food side, there was a creamy ceviche. I don't know how you make a ceviche creamy. But this one was. The seafood was high quality and plentiful. The sauce was lovely. * * * Starches in general were not lovely. My soup was served with an arepa that could have served as second base in a softball game. Plantain chips on my ceviche were plantain's answer to wood chips. I didn't care. When you have soup that good and ceviche that good, They could have given me a real second base and real wood chips. I still would have been happy. * * * Two high technology notes. a) The to-go orders are brought out by a waiter robot. I have seen waiter robots in about a half dozen places. They still seem like a comedy act when I see them. They didn't run over anybody or spill their soups. They looked cute. b) One whole wall is given to a giant composite screen of about twenty four very large TV screens. They broadcast travelogue pictures of beautiful Miami - with an emphasis on a drone flying over the beaches and causeways. They were nice pictures and we enjoyed seeing them the first 128 times. But I could see how that could get wearing. At one point, management changed the screen to network television - in order to catch the Miami Open which was in progress. There is nothing quite like a commercial for the latest anti-shingles drug lit as bright as Times Square and covering the entire wall of a restaurant. I suppose I should be just as happy they were not selling a laxative. * * * Still foibles and fumbles aside, Bocas is a wonderful place where I would love to eat again. The only thing harder to find than a good boyfriend is a good restaurant fish soup. When you find a really excellent one, its a keeper. read more

Ordered the hallaquitas with meat which came topped with pico de gallo, grated cheese and a cilantro dressing (ordered on the side), with chicharrones. The hallaquitas are very similar to Mexican tamales, though they are made of sweet corn they were not actually sweet, and reminds one of the beef tamales sold at Trader Joe's. The Chicharron was very good. Cilantro sauce was ok. Loaded tostones were also decent. Unfortunately there were some things on the menu we wanted to try but they didn't have available, other things that were part of a description of a meal we're not actually included in it, which was misleading. read more

We wanted to walk the dogs and grab a bite. Sometimes it is difficult to find the right spot but Bocas is our friendly neighborhood restaurant. We get to sit outside with our pups and enjoy the service and excellent food. Even with three mid size dogs they always make us feel welcome. We were in the mood for fish so we went for Ceviche, tropical for my husband and the classic for me. The seasoning was on point and the fish fresh and delicious (take a look at the presentation). I also ordered a Maracuja Sangria that did not disappoint. read more

Finding delicious food at a decent price is a challenge in Miami, to say the least. Bocas is one of the rare restaurants in the city that actually meets that criteria. I ordered the fish of the day, which happened to be branzino. You can choose any two sides. I had the wok-smoked vegetables and tostones. And it was only $21! My guest had the smoked shrimp noodles, which was described as having an exquisite flavor. Definitely accompany your dinner with one of their delightful drinks. I suggest the passion fruit sangria. The service was fantastic and the restaurant has a very pleasant ambience. In this season they have added holiday flair with ornamental Christmas touches throughout. There is a large screen, which is currently streaming a snowy Christmas scene. I think this is destined to become a regular spot in my rotation. read more

When I first moved into the Nordica, I was excited to know there was a Venezuelan restaurant. I liked at first, then their flavor as well as their prices started to change over the last 6 months. Unfortunately not in a positive direction, one would've hoped it was. We've had multiple plates, every time, the meat is tough, full of tendons and lacks flavor. Very sad to say, but I wont be visiting them anymore, even if they're just downstairs. I hope in the future they improve and I'll be happy to become a patron once again. I was not a one and one client, I've ordered at least 4 or 5 times since moving here in late 2020. read more

5 stars for good and service and big shout out to Felix, our bartender!!! But one star overall bc I'm very disappointed when I asked for a refill on my Diet Coke I was told by the bartender relieving Felix that it wasn't included.. I spent $170 and to refill a Diet Coke costs the establishment perhaps $.10 cents!!! I guess management does not care about repeat customers... I won't go back! read more
