Nice little place to get lunch if you're into arepas, empanadas, and other similar food items…read more Staff are polite but not always friendly. I've gone twice and first time they were meh, second time they were a just bit friendlier. First time I went, I ordered a parchita, arepa pabellon, a mariscos Venezuelan empanada, and a chicken Colombian empanada. The pabellon, chicken empanada, and the parchita were delicious. The mariscos one was just alright in my opinion. The parchita was rather expensive unfortunately and they said it'd be frozen, but wasn't at all, so won't be ordering that again. This second time I ordered one of each Colombian empanada and a reina paisada arepa. The chicken and beef empanadas were fantastic, the cheese one was just alright and oddly liquidy. The reina paisada was disappointing because it tasted like canned chicken.

The food was really good too. The carne mechada was flavorful and tender, and the arepas tasted fresh and perfectly made... simple but done right. My favorite part though is that they have a kids' playground area. It makes the whole meal so much more enjoyable because the kids stay entertained while the adults can actually relax and eat in peace. If you have a family, you'll appreciate this immediately. Overall, great portions, tasty food, and a very family-friendly atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

Great recommendations and very attentive. Food is delicious. The sancocho was made just right and the tostones de picana were fantastic. The ceviche is one of my favorites in all of Miami. I always order it and it never disappoints. They offer great lunch specials that include an appetizer, main course, and dessert. They also have a kids' menu with lots of great options. My daughter loves the chicken nuggets and seasoned fries. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and the staff is attentive from the moment you walk in until you leave the restaurant. It is usually busy so if you can make reservations. Definitely a great place to take the family. Every time we go, the service is excellent, and the food is always delicious. I highly recommend it.

As another reviewer GabyRos said, try the mordisco carpaccio, ceviche, and Carne en Vera - you'll not regret it. Cute interior decorations and the bathroom is really trippy.

This well know brand from Venezuela makes its appearance in Miami - and with a small storefront,…read morethey deliver in yummy products, friendly service, and clean ambience. They make delicious golfeados here even if they're smaller than the ones from Don Pan. Also delicious here are the Venezuelan quesadillas, which I think is an even more unique offering in the Miami area. The best I can describe the Venezuelan quesadillas are that they're the Venezuelan version of cheese danishes but these have a creamy sweet and yet surprisingly salty cheese filling unlike the typical cheese danishes you find in the United States which are just less creamy and just sweet. I think it's worth trying if you are a fan of saltier cheese flavor profile over the simply plain sweet cream cheese one. I would come back here again.

It was my first time trying a golfeado and it was alright, nothing special. Although, I felt they went a little overboard with the dulce de leche.

We were a group of ten and all the food came out pretty quickly. My favorite dish was their whole chicken with boiled yuca!

The ambience feels bold and modern with some Venezuelan/Colombia flare. Highly recommend to anyone to check them out!

You go in, place your order, and wait to be called to pick up. They have speakers outside so you can grab a table while you wait. The menu is very latin, cachapas, arepas, chicharron, tacos, tostones... but they also have burgers and hotdogs. I had the Cheese Cachapa with chicken, and chicharron. The Chicharron was perfectly fried and, and the cachapa was delicious, especially with the nata sauce. Portions are generous so we had leftovers. Service is informal, don't expect a warm and friendly welcome, think more fast-food personality, but they get the job done. So, a great place for a quick stop with good food.

The outside area to eat was perfect. When we arrived we got a table in the shade and took turns watching the dog and going in to order lunch. I walked into a place that just was Doral. Or as the side of their delivery van said, "Doralzuela". It was a good think my Spanish is passable, ordering was all in Spanish. I got the special hotdog, and the arepa con queso. My gal got the chicharron and cachapa de queso y pollo. The latter was the overall winner. The cachapa was excellent, but so was the layered hotdog and the chicharron was exceptional. The price was great and the food was so good and so Miami, perfecto. This is a spot you wanna put on your must list.
