    Shrimp Chaufa (sweet savory taste)
    Graciela L.

    The go-to spot when I'm craving Venezuelan food. The arepas are exactly what you want them to be, fresh, flavorful, and filling. The egg guasaca slider surprised me in the best way, and the savory-sweet chaufa fusion (chicken, meat or shrimp) is one of those unexpected fusions that becomes a preferred choice from the menu. The parrilla pinchos were grilled perfectly, and the tequeños... well, they're non-negotiable. If you're Venezuelan, you already know they're the must appetizer at every party, and these did not disappoint (dip them in guasacaca sauce for an extra punch) What really made the experience stand out was the service. Ana, Yeraldin, and Johana were incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing. You can tell they actually care about the customers. Carmelo, one of the owners, was there the whole time making sure everything was running smoothly and that the food met the Bocas Grill standard, it shows. Sweet treat: a warm chewy brownie with creamy topping to shift the savory taste of the main dishes. Home made style, recently oven and you can tell is recently prepared.0 Extra perk: free parking on the spot as it is located in a strip mall. The vibe is casual and relaxed, the kind of place you can go for a quick lunch with coworkers, bring your family, or meet up with friends without overthinking it. Prices are very reasonable, especially for Miami, which makes it even better. Overall, it feels authentic, welcoming, and worth coming back to.

    Recently went to "El Novillo" restaurant for a 25 year anniversary celebration…read more It was a group of about 25 of us and it was spacious in the seating and table arrangement for all of us to feel comfortable and not cramped up together. It was on a Friday night and they had live music playing with was nice for the occasion. With our pre-selected menu, we ordered a glass of Cabernet, their house salad (very vinegary!!! A tad bit too much in my personal opinion), and for entree the 8 oz baby tenderloin churrasco. (Shout out to one of our waiters! I didn't catch her name but she was honest with the menu recommendations and advised us to order the baby tenderloin churrasco which was a hit!). The mariquitas kept on coming around the table and we were stuffed. Another perk was how fast the service was. Even with our large group, we barely waited in between courses. If you want good Hispanic food on the fly, this is your place.

Though they have a preset menu for corporate type events, our boss was generous enough to let us select off the open menu. The decor is made to look like the inside of a hacienda with the tile roofs and stucco columns (yes you tell I'm a structural engineer :) The music was mostly 80s ballads, and service was very attentive. They even brought one of the desserts with a candle for a colleague's birthday, and took our group's photo. We started with a couple of baskets of buttered herbed Cuban bread and dipping chimichurri, as well as an appetizer sampler including refried beans, fried cheese and tequenos. The fried cheese was served on a little piece of pita bread and is a must try. I also enjoyed the refried bean soup, especially when dipped with plantain chips. As far as my main course, everyone knows how much I love cows! I enjoyed a sizable piece of churrasco, juicy even at medium well, sweet plantains and moros (here they serve it with red beans instead of black beans) and crispy house-made plantain chips. The Tres leches was also very fluffy, with a lot of cream and perfect enough to send me to a nice little after lunch nap. I also washed it down with Cortadito.

We were a group of ten and all the food came out pretty quickly. My favorite dish was their whole chicken with boiled yuca! Just wow the yuca was super smooth and they put a green sauce which was delicious and the way they cook the chicken they put a special marinade and it's perfection. The ambience feels bold and modern with some Venezuelan/Colombia flare. Highly recommend to anyone to check them out!

It's the kind of place where you can tell a lot of heart goes into the cooking. What made the evening even more special was our server, Crisel. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. She took the time to explain the dishes, made great recommendations, and checked in on us just the right amount. Her warmth and professionalism really elevated the entire experience. Great food, great service, and such a lovely atmosphere. We'll definitely be coming back and will happily recommend this spot to friends and family.

However, from both experiences, this is a solid spot when you're craving Cuban comfort food. My most recent order was lunch for myself today. I have a Fitness challenge coming up at OTF I need to bulk up more than my usual salad and chopchops. I ordered their pollo à la plancha (grilled chicken), moros rice and tostones. My order was a pretty good size came delivered at a good temperature. I will say the order was mostly rice, but the grilled chicken breast was bad enough and had a nicely tangy citrus marinade plus lots of little onions. This is a spot you can't go wrong with for the classics!

( The pure de Malanga comes in a large container (see pics) It's nice and creamy and warm soothing for the belly! There is enough to share or save for a later meal. ( But...I've also been guilt to eat all in serving!) some saltine crackers go great with it. This last time he added some white rice, grilled chicken and 2 huge tostones. ( shareable portion) As well I finished the grilled chicken and 1 tostone between lunch and dinner) opted to leave the rice and 1 tostone by out this time. On other occasions I have eaten the white rice and let me tell you it's moist... even my daughter ( whom is a picky teenager...that loves Cuban food) said " that's some good rice!" The grilled chicken is savory seasoned but not overly. It's like nice juicy flavor but not too over powering. The meal is was perfect to share or split in between two meals or even just indulge it all in one searing! You will be satisfied for hours and for good reason too! .
