The Best Dishes Eater SF Editors Ate This Week: Summer 2023 | Eater SF

"Back in spacious new digs, Bocanova’s beef empanadas hit different: braised brisket and chopped green olives made a juicier, tender filling wrapped in a crusty exterior, with shaved red onions for crunch and a chile aioli for heat and tang—perfect for happy hour." - Eater Staff

Boconova, a Favorite Oakland Restaurant for Latin American Brunch, Just Reopened After Six Years | Eater SF

"After a six-year hiatus, I found Bocanova reopened on April 10 at 1111 Broadway in downtown Oakland with a major facelift and a refreshed menu and design. The more than 6,000-square-foot space—reimagined by design firm Arcsine with owners Rick Hackett, Meredith Melville, and Martin Ladera—includes two outdoor patios, an espresso bar with pastries to-go for morning commuters, a casual bar area for brunch and parties, and a cozier dinner section with booths. The restaurant keeps its ever-popular chocolate croissant bread pudding while adding new breakfast and dinner options (banana bread by morning and mezcal palomas by night), features a turquoise, coral, and teakwood palette meant to evoke Central and South American cultures, and is tied together by a vibrant mural of a winged woman painted by Cameron “CAMER1sf” Moberg; Justin Phanksom of Tea Bella Cafe is also contributing cheesecakes. The new Bocanova is open Monday–Saturday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m." - Paolo Bicchieri

This place deserves five stars in all categories! We were looking for a dog friendly restaurant for a late lunch, and were very happy to find this place! Dungeness Crab Deviled Eggs and Ceviche were great starters, and both large plates had good portions and very delicious. We were so full when the Guava Cheesecake, but we were still amazed by it - It’s a must try! One of the owners came to greet us, and from his interactions with the staff, we could tell this is a place that treats employees well!

I came here on a Tuesday night while in Oakland for work and actually asked ChatGPT what the best restaurant I should go to and recommended Bocanova. I dug in on additional reviews, and I can say the food here is excellent. I ordered the pork which is tender and flavorful, loved it. Kudos to the staff especially Alejandro, who’s attention to customer service and details are top-notch. When in Oakland fine time to eat in Bocanova!

I used to go here back when it was at Jack London. Now I stopped in to kill an hour. Had an oyster shooter (delicious!) and a mezcalita. Super friendly staff, big spacious dining room. No more quinoa duck cherry salad but still good.

What a beautiful experience. Everything was top notch. Service decor and the food. Probably had one of the best desserts I had in my life. We will be back soon

Great spot for a date. I was expecting more flavor with duck tostadas but I highly I recommend trying the poblano cornbread and deviled eggs. Both delicious but the cornbread..chefs kiss 🤌🏾

I stayed at the Marriott for a couple days and came here both nights. Great happy hour menu and would highly recommend the Mexican Seafood Cocktail (the photo is after eating about half of the portion) and when I decided to post a review! Fantastic mix of fresh ingredients acid and salt. I also did “dealers choice” the the cocktails I was served. I have no idea what I was served but they were also great.

Great spot in downtown Oakland. The menu has a nice variety of options, and the staff are all really friendly! The guava cheesecake was especially good
