If you had to describe Bocas House in just a few words, what would they be?
Bocas House is Latin, innovative and a family. We have lots of Latin flavors representing several different countries and cultures. We also brought the big milkshake trend to Miami. And of course, family is so important in the South, and we try to create a very family-oriented restaurant. It’s a place you can bring your family for a meal, take a date on a Friday night or get together with friends after work for happy hour. What are the milkshakes like at Bocas House?
We serve these extra-big milkshakes called “freakshakes.” We didn’t invent the trend, but we’ve embraced it. When we opened the first Bocas House in Doral, we introduced our Nutella milkshake, which is topped with a Nutella brownie, brownie truffle, a big scoop of ice cream and more Nutella. When it hit Instagram, it went viral. People who posted a picture of their milk shake would get thousands of likes. Pretty
