Bocaditos Cafe

The atmosphere, the staff and the food AMAZING! Every dish my party ordered was delectable.

They weren't opened when I called, but they graciously took my to go order (they were in the restaurant for a catering order). 10/10 service and the empanadas tasted soooo fresh and flakey. We had chicken, Jamon y queso, beef, corn, spinach and pork.

Alfajores we're aMazing.

Wow wow wow. The food is too good!! They made me green tea with rose petals in and it smells so homey. Very cozy indoors and adorable outside patio. So grateful it’s walking distance from Water Street Studios💓

Empanadas have always been a favorite of my wife and I and something we routinely seek out when traveling. Bocaditos is the real deal! We tried the beef and chicken empanadas and both were amazing. The owner also took time to talk with me, welcome us to the area and tell me about the business.

We visited Bocaditos yesterday to pick up our takeaway order. The women owners are extraordinarily pleasant and very welcoming.
The empanadas we had were truly delicious! We ordered two each of the beef, chicken and spinach and cheese, and one each of the creamy corn and ham and cheese. They were all so flaky, and filled with fantastic fillings. We also ordered 2 extra containers of their chimichurri, it's SO good! Order extra to take home - it's a delicious accompaniment to the empanadas, and will also complement so many other foods - steak, chicken, etc.
We had their alfajores for

Very good! I was in the area and took a chance on a place I found on Yelp. Today was my first visit, but won't be my last. I had a combo: 2 empanadas (one beef and one ham/cheese) and one chori-pan (chorizo on bread). Freshly made while I waited, hot and delicious. The 3 items together was approximately equal to a large sandwich you'd get at a restaurant, so it was a good meal. I also tried the eggplant salad and it was delicious as well.

This place is a gem. Everything we got was delicious. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the food. The empanadas are loaded with hearty fillings and are baked so they have a crispy and flaky texture without being too heavy. The eggplant salad pairs perfectly with the empanadas or plain bread and we highly recommend topping off the meal with one of the deserts with a cortado. After we finished our food outside we immediately returned to buy a whole bag of frozen empanadas to go.

The best empanadas north of the equator! We ordered a dozen to try them all, and each one was delicious. Warm, delicious, and authentic served with gracious charm and hospitality. I will be a returning and repeat customer.

This the perfect stop for foodies and brewery vistors! For months, I heard friends rave about Bocaditos Cafe and was very fortunate to be able to try them for the first time. Bocaditos is exactly the type of place you want to go for lunch, or dinner, especially if you're in the area to try other craft and artisan establishments. The Owner and Her Daughter are extremely nice and welcoming with the restaurant having a very pleasant atmosphere. The empanadas are very delicious and reminiscent of walking into your Mom's house for a homemade meal. My advice as to order twice as many as you feel you

Adorable, simply delicious & friendly customer service! Best to call your order in ahead of time or go shop while they make you food. We will be back!

Bocaditos is authentic, charming, and delicious! The empanadas are the best I've ever had and the hospitality is unmatched. I'd highly recommend checking out this spot!

By far the best empanadas I’ve ever had! So full of flavor! It felt like I was eating homemade food from someone’s home kitchen. Plus, two of the sweetest ladies you’ll meet anywhere! I’ll be back there very soon!

EXCELLENT empanadas! This is authentic Argentine cooking at it's best. We tried the meat empanadas and the ham and cheese empanadas. They were really authentic; as good as they are in Argentina. The Milanesa sandwich was tender and flavorful. The Alfajores are as good as my mom's. I can't wait to go back and try more items!

Their food is absolutely delicious and the people are warm and friendly. Had one of each empanada and a garden salad and carrot salad. Everything tasted fantastic and you could tell the quality and authenticity of the food immediately. The chimichurri sauce might be the best I've ever had.

Outstanding! We sat outside, just to the east of the building under a cozy tent. Silvia greeted us with a beautiful smile (yes, you could tell under her mask) and a warm, lovely personality. My wife and I each got the Empanada combo, 3 per order plus a drink for $10.50. I got a Carne, Pollo and Pork which she said wasn't on the menu but had in the kitchen. And a Mate Cocido ice tea with mint and ginger....wow, that was good, something very unique! My wife got Carne, Pollo and Espinaca empanada's.
Hands down these were the best empanadas we'd ever had! Fresh ingredients in a thin

Had an excellent first time experience here. Tried the two empanada/half chori pan combo which was delicious. At the recommendation of who I assume to be one of the owners, I tried some peppers on the chori pan that they had and the sandwich was amazing. Their space is decorated wonderfully with fun pieces and it is all very clean as well. They have a shared seating space directly next to their building for individuals looking to eat outside aswell which is a huge plus right now. I highly recommend it and look forward to my next visit!

Was really craving flan and decided to check out this local cafe. Of course had to also order some empanadas! My favorite ended up being the chicken empanada. The flan was also very delicious, especially with the dulce de leche! The service was impeccable and very welcoming. I’m so excited to come back to try some more delicious food!

Amazing gem of a shop to find a home on The Fox! All products tried were perfect (chicken empanadas were wonderful!), and the cookies with dulce de leche were wonderful (received immediate approval from my kiddos). Owner is very friendly and helpful with products, and they even have some nice commercial items for sale (dulce de leche, quince jelly, Yerba mate) which can be tough to find elsewhere.

Highly recommended, and count my family as new loyal customers! They do not have seating for dinning/cafe, but there is a wonderful riverfront and downtown Batavia to stroll and enjoy the tasty goods

We were so excited to learn about a new Argentine café that we dedicated our day off to it. Rode our bikes from Wheaton to Batavia and stopped for the most delicious empanadas we have had in the US so far. Trust me, I'm Argentinian.

Everything about this place is excellent. The decor made me feel right at home, every product they sell a trip to my childhood. The food is as authentic as it gets. I specifically love that their empanadas are baked, not fried... just like at home.

We got to try their iced Mate: a MUST for a hot summer day like today.

It it clear that Silvia and her daughter
