About this place

Bochincha Container Yard is an open-air food and entertainment destination at Rockefellerstraat 8 in Oranjestad, Aruba. The concept opened in 2020 and uses recycled shipping containers converted into individual food and business spaces surrounding a shared outdoor area. The Aruba Tourism Authority describes Bochincha as a multi-restaurant concept focused on international cuisine.

Visitors can order from several independent food concepts in one location. Current information published by the Aruba Tourism Authority identifies Mexican tacos from El Taco, Lebanese food from Sultan, Japanese sushi from Masago, pizza from Crosta, Filipino cuisine from Sizzles and Colombian specialties from El Parche. B/S Grill House serves burgers and ribs. Because each concept operates separately, visitors interested in a particular vendor should confirm its current availability before going.

Food is only part of the Bochincha Container Yard Aruba concept. The venue also includes a bar serving cocktails, while the Aruba Tourism Authority identifies live DJ music as part of the evening experience. Its official tourism information additionally lists Horse Bay, a barber and tattoo shop, and J&J, a cigar shop, among the non-restaurant businesses associated with the container complex.

The outdoor layout allows diners to select food from different kitchens rather than ordering from a single fixed restaurant menu. Official Bochincha content has promoted both table reservations and walk-in visits. The Aruba Tourism Authority currently describes the venue as operating in the evening and advises visitors to check Bochincha’s official Instagram or website for current events, menus and activities before visiting.
