We came for arepas and they were amazing. Order at the register, straightforward menu. Food didn’t take long to come out, even though it was pretty busy. Standard sized lobby, pick your own seating, clean overall. Excellent experience, food, and service. Will be back again, highly recommended.
Food here was amazing! Came from the west coast and was glad to find this gem. Some places ask you to leave a review so I'm skeptical to believe in the reviews. Know that I'm not leaving this review because I was asked to do so... the food here is simply that good. I came to Richmond on a business trip for 2 days, both days I ate at Bocata. I had the Sifina, Catira, the hotdog and the tequeños. They are all amazing!
Venezuelan hot dogs are different than American so you have to be prepared and open minded about a loaded dawg.
The arepas were juicy and tasty.
Seems like locals are starting to discover this place, it's steady busy but not too crazy. You wait about 10 minutes for food to be ready because it's freshly made upon ordering.
Hope my travels bring me to Richmond again and wish this place the best success... They deserve it.
From the outside, doesn't look like much. However, the great tasting food and friendly service completely offset the outward appearance.
Walked up and he handed us a menu. Very nice, patiently answered my questions and made some good recommendations. I had the hamburguesa. My wife had the Nachos and we split a Pabellon empanada.
The hamburguesa was amazing. Egg, sliced ham, two burger patties, Cole slaw and a massive amount of melted cheese. What could be wrong with that? The only problem is if you aren't really hungry.
The Pabello empanada wasnt my favorite. The sweetness of the plantain wasnt my preference. The nachos were amazing and very filling.
I will definitely be coming back.
