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.

Service,quality and the food is amazing and taste like home made…read more Really nice place to stop by for lunch!!

Stumbled upon this little gem when I was in Miami looking at furniture…read more I love good latin food and they did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in we were welcomed. The menu is a Latin fusion with a nice selection of Venezuelan and Peruvian cuisine. The Bocas Grill Ceviche - a mix of fresh fish, shrimp in a leche de tiger sauce and topped with fried calamari and chips. At the request of our server, we tried the Vuelva la Vida Cups - this is a plantain cup with a little seafood salad inside. This came 3 to the order and it was bursting with flavor. This was a great choice in the area. The food was delicious and we got to watch some soccer too.

We walked into Mordisco in Doral expecting a great lunch. We had heard wonderful things and came…read morehighly recommended by a friend. Unfortunately, what followed was a surprisingly disappointing experience -- and one that became harder to justify with every course. The service was slow and disorganized, our sangrias had to be returned, and the mixed ceviche was a very small portion with mostly tiny shrimp and very little fish. Then came the $110 parrillada. We ordered the meat medium, but much of it arrived overcooked and dry. Served on a hot platter, it continued cooking at the table. To make matters worse, it had taken nearly an hour to arrive, so sending it back simply wasn't an option we were willing to endure. The sides -- yuca, tostones, and fries -- were all underwhelming, and the sauces were so limited that we had to ask for more. Water wasn't replenished, and even the basic table service felt neglected. We eventually spoke with the manager, hoping for some acknowledgment of the experience. Instead, we were essentially told that we should have complained sooner. We explained that after waiting nearly an hour for our food, we weren't prepared to wait another hour for a replacement. We were offered complimentary desserts, but unfortunately, the churros were rubbery and seemed reheated, while the tres leches was just average. And then came the bill: nearly $200 for three people -- for lunch. Not dinner. Lunch. At that price, you expect the food, service, and overall experience to feel exceptional. Unfortunately, ours didn't come close. We didn't leave upset because the restaurant was expensive; we left disappointed because the experience simply didn't justify what we paid. We went in with high expectations and left feeling that Mordisco was not worth the price. Sadly, we won't be returning.

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.

I was born in Venezuela so it's nice to finally have a Venezuelan restaurant in Hialeah…read more I've been here twice. Both times I've had the cachapa & I don't really know how I feel about it...I like that it has tons of cheese on it (there can never be enough cheese haha). However, I feel like it could be a bit softer and served hotter. Once you serve me I want to see the smoke coming out from how hot it is but this doesn't happen. This is definitely something they can work on. They have two sizes of empanadas: medium and large. If you want to sample a little of each then I recommend getting the medium or if you're just going to eat that then get the large ones. Sooooo...the empanadas actually taste good, they're fried to perfection. I like that they have shrimp, cheese, shredded meat, ground beef, and pabellón. I'd recommend the cheese, shredded meat, and pabellón. One thing I did not like is that they had the pabellón as an option under medium, however, when I was there last time they said it's not an option that it doesn't come in that size in their system & the kitchen also confirmed. Well the time before that I was able to order it & they also had a hard time finding it in their system. So this issue needs to be resolved and if they don't want to order medium pabellón empanadas then simply update your menus. This upset me because I like full transparency. The Tequeños are pretty good. They have 'tetas' which is a type of Venezuelan ice cream and some other types of ice cream as well. I haven't tried them but would like to. I wanted to order a chicha thinking it was made to order. However, they serve it to you from a pre-packed little carton...that was disappointing so I didn't get it. The service? Amazing! The staff is very attentive and they don't take very long to serve you. For the most part the restaurant is empty. When you do go here please note that they also offer food from two other restaurants including one with healthy options and the other is sushi. I haven't tried them but wouldn't mind to one day. Overall I would recommend trying them.

We were a group of ten and all the food came out pretty quickly. My favorite dish was their whole chicken with boiled yuca! Just wow the yuca was super smooth and they put a green sauce which was delicious and the way they cook the chicken they put a special marinade and it's perfection. The ambience feels bold and modern with some Venezuelan/Colombia flare. Highly recommend to anyone to check them out!

I've eaten at their Doral location - as well as gotten takeout from their popup(?) in Wynwood, and…read moreit's always been a solid meal. I had a chance to check out their Miami Lakes location Saturday to "balance out" after a cocktail tasting event at nearby venue. Their rotisserie chicken - even the half chicken portion - is pretty sizeable and well flavored with a tasty citrusy, tangy flavor, and the tequenos are my favorite side, right up there with the sweet plantains that came with the chicken. My server was really pleasant and attentive, and they even saved my souvenir bag from the cocktail event. The restaurant itself was clean, well maintained, and with plenty of windows to look out over the Miami Lakes street scene. One thing I would improve is with the extra fee for the nata (butter) sauce to dip the tequenos. It comes with a green sauce (cilantro?) that I am just not a fan off. I did ask my server to take it off and substitute it with the, and found out that it is a bit extra. I mean, it is a substitution. It's not like I'm asking an extra sauce.

Looking for a quick place to grab a bite with our dog. Found Pepito's, with outside seating…read more At first is a bit confusing, because it's connected to a gas station and a coffee shop, but park on the back and you will find the entrance. 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.

We were in Doral for the morning and had our dog along. With a bit of searching I found this place…read morethat looked like it had plenty of character, and good food. Pepito's. 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.
