    La Pelua

    Today, I went with my wife for the first time. My first impression of the place was clean and welcoming. As a starter we ordered mini empanadas mix. They were made to ordered and were delicious. The empanadas doug fresh and crisp. Afterwards, I ordered the arepa La Pelua and my wife La Catira. Both empanadas were loaded with meat and cheese. Both were savory. The arepas were crisp, moist and fresh. The stuffings had the latin flavors I've known all my life. The server and staff were all attentive and with good attitude. I will definitely come back.

    Pan de Jamón

    We've been buying the Pan de Jamón from Avila for a few years and it's become a staple for our Venezuelan Christmas. The olives provide the salt/acidity whereas the raisins add a touch of sweetness. This year, the bacon was pretty fatty and felt a bit undercooked which is why I gave this a four rather than a five. I'd like to note that previous years, it's been perfect.

    Primera vez que vengo a comer en Ávila Bistro con mi familia y la verdad nos encantó todo!!! La comida estaba increíble, tenía muy buen sabor y el servicio también fue genial muy amables todos. 100% recomendado

    Avila Bistro is a nice local option for north Miami. Came here twice, once for an arepa and a cachapa, and another time for a pabellon and a pepito. The arepa was pretty good. The cachapa was more looks than favor and the dough was just not very good. The pabellon was OK but the rice was very hard and we had to ask for a different batch. The pepito was ok. Juices are good and desserts alright. Service is decent. As a Venezuelan visiting Miami I was excited and maybe my expectations were too high, but is not a bad spot to visit.

    I am Venezuelan but have lived in US all my life!! I have been coming to Avila Bistro since they opened. Always for breakfast. El Andino with my daughters. Today I went and had the best Arepa de Asado Negro. Deliciosa!! Tostadita y el asado typically from Venezuela. I highly recommend this place as one of the best!!

    Ham and cheese arepa
    Victoria G.

    I've been to this place about 3 times and the food is always really good. My favorite part about this place is that the food is affordable. The prices are very reasonable considering that it's in Aventura area. They have a large variety of arepas. Personally, I love cheese and they stuff their arepas with A LOT of cheese. I think there is something for everyone on the menu. I got ham and cheese arepa and it was really filling. They have this green sauce which I think is a cilantro sauce that they bring to the table, it's so freaking good. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed.

    Dulce de Leche iced coffee and in the background is Nutella iced coffee, not too bad

    Small local place near Hallandale beach! There's a limited amount of outdoor seating but this is perfect if you're looking for a casual spot after hitting the beach. Food was great quality and staff was attentive. The scrambled eggs and avocado were absolutely fresh. I love iced coffee so this one was good but it wasn't out of this world. Nonetheless, will be back.

    I love going to Avila Bistro with my family. The food is fantastic and the team that works there are very professional and welcoming. I have had the chance to be there many times there, so they know us by our names and have close relationship with my 4 year old. Additionally, I know that my son will eat everything that they serve there. Specially the Pabellón Criollo. I highly recommend this place!!! Luis

    Is this a good first date lunch spot for latin food in aventura?

    Hi Steven! If you're looking for something really casual with good food and good service without breaking the bank, this is your spot. There's even an icecream place a few suites down that you can take your date to after and the mall is nearby as…

When I walked in, it was a little busy, which I understand--but once I got to the counter, the employees looked annoyed and like they didn't want to be there. At one point, one employee stated that she's not gonna start an argument with two other employees. There was no sense of friendliness or welcome at all. Things quickly went downhill when I ordered. I asked for avocado, and the employee literally placed half of an avocado--completely unsliced--into my pita sandwich, all in one section. I was honestly shocked. I don't know who trained him, but he definitely needs to be retrained. When it was my boyfriend's turn, he also asked for avocado and politely said, "Please don't do that--can you cut it and spread it out?" The employee responded, "Honestly, today is not the day, but I'll do that for you." At that point, I was completely taken back by his response. It only got worse. The cashier--who was handling money and the register--then went and touched my food to roll it. That completely crossed the line for me. I was in such shock I didn't even know what to say. After paying, we sat down, and I started noticing even more issues with cleanliness. There was debris on the floor, and the lower walls and floors looked dirty. I had already noticed while standing in line that there didn't seem to be much attention to cleaning or upkeep. If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Unfortunately, Yelp requires at least one. Management and staff seriously need retraining--especially when it comes to basic food safety, cross-contamination, and cleanliness. I will not be coming back, and I would not recommend this location to anyone--

    I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE how badly I was treated here. There was no parking when I arrived to pickup…read morefor somebody here, so I tried parking directly in front of the pickup section only to impolitely get told by a White complexioned female employee with acne all over her face known as "Nechole" that security will catch up to me if I didn't move the car. She was extremely disrespectful in her way of saying this to me, shaking her head from side to side with a PMS attitude, as though she was screaming for some Midol. She looked extremely upset and aggressive about the entire ordeal, like with a VERY bitchy attitude. I was stunned. Then, the short 4 foot tall manager lady with a Brown complexion and short, Black, straight hair with a huge tomato face began to threaten me and tell me that she has the power to block me from ever coming ...back to this branch to pickup orders for people because I was mad at her employee Nechole. While she told me this, Nechole was directly behind her sticking out her tongue at me, trying to get me even more mad. Obviously, no one working here has completely graduated from high school, and funny how they all look like minors here, all of the employees including the managers! I filed an "I care" complaint and was gifted a free egift card thru my email as a compensation for my hardship that I endured at this location. I just could not believe how I was treated here by a group of MINORS as the employees. I never got blocked from pickups because within DAYS after this bullcrap happened to me, I was back outside picking up again. So their 4 foot tall, tomato faced, Peruvian looking manager lady was A BIG LIAR, only for the purpose of intimidating me. When you come to this location, be prepared to get treated very badly by very disrespectful school children.
