    Mini Tequeos
    Julia S.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants downtown. I have come back for the tequenos and cachapas countless times. FOOD I recommend the Cachapa Santa Barbara, w medium rare steak. It's any cheese lovers heaven. Their app sampler platter is also great for sharing if you just want a bite of everything. Perfect amount for 2 people for lunch too. SERVICE Pretty standard. Waters were refilled and we were checked in on multiple times. AMBIANCE Hole in the wall vibes. They have indoor seating in the air condition or outdoor seating that's covered. They also have WiFi

    Came in for coffee, but our server was so attentive, he convinced us to try an empanada. Out of this world. Sweet plantain with cheese. Delicious. The coffee was great as well. The place is cutely decorated and smack in the middle of downtown. Have to return to try their ajiaco soup!

    There are numerous choices for Venezuelan food in Miami, but if you want to experience a place really authentic, with spot-on "SAZÓN", and one of the best cazón empanadas in the city (traditional dogfish empanadas from the Venezuelan Oriente coast), El Sitio is your place. And the smiles and customer service will make you return again and again. The only set back, parking is not easy in downtown Miami. Enjoy your visit!

    Arepa Catira, mix of grilled pulled chicken and shredded yellow cheese.
    Mauro D.

    Miami's downtown area is the hood for you to adventure yourself in local Miami cultural flavors like the one offered by El Sitio, or in English, The Spot, which probably is literally "The Place" to eat if you are looking for comfy Venezuelan traditional food that will satisfy your appetite, as well your budget. The service is quick and warmly set up by the team, especially when it is led by one of its charismatic waiters. I ordered the "Catira" arepa which mixes chicken and yellow shredded cheese, and the filling was pretty consistent, as well as the chicken was freshly prepared. My friends opted for a Pabellón Arepa which consists of sweet fried plantain, beans, and pulled-seasoned meat. Pabellón is the Venezuelan national and traditional lunch dish, and basically, this arepa is stuffed with all of it in a single take, so imagine its heavy structure. Even though the fillings were very generous, the toast of the arepa wasn't enough, actually, it was very soft and kind of tasteless in the corn wheat mix, if they grilled the outside, it could actually result in an authentic arepa experience. My other friend went for a cachapa which is a sweet corn-based pancake topped with Venezuelan Guayanes cheese. The Guyanese cheese is the best of a cachapa, because it melts in its buttery layer crepe loaft. This version also includes meat as a topping, which makes it even more of a complete option for you to crave a Venezuelan tasty snap. Overall the portions are huge and considering the price, it is one of Miami's most affordable places where the three famous Venezuelan "B" characteristics are accomplished, Bueno, Bonito, Barato!

    Empanada Carne Mechada

    WOW. If you're looking for some amazing Venezuelan food and coffee, El Sitio has it all. We ordered the El Sitio Sampler plate, which comes with a bunch of different types of food items. This was a great appetizer for the whole table. We also got the beef empanada and cachapa Santa Barbara (steak, avocado, cheese). Both were fantastic. The batter used to make a lot of their items had whole corn kernels, which really enhanced the texture and eating experience. Service was super speedy and friendly (Oscuar was awesome)! Plenty of indoor seating, definitely more of a hole-in-the-wall vibe.

    Breakfast chicken sandwich
    Michelle L.

    The food and drinks were delicious! We ordered a sandwich and an arepa. The way they mixed the chicken with the sauce made it one of the neatest arepas I've had the pleasure of eating. And it was loaded with chicken! The service was quick and friendly. The place was cute and had a very homey coffee bar vibe. The fresh flowers on the table were a nice touch as well.

    Receipt for breakfast

    Was walked back to the dinner area. It's a little smaller then expected. Was created by our server who was very informative as they have a very large selection of menu items. Food came out in a timely manner, and was amazing! Our waiter checked in on us frequently. The breads were so flavorful as did all the meats. Everything was very filling. Definitely returning her on our next visit.

    My last time wasn't good My Reina pepiada was cold and dry! I think the host forgot me. Sad!!!

    Came here for our first meal in Miami and had a great experience! They were serving this seafood soup for free as a first course and it was honestly extremely delicious - plenty of ingredients and super flavorful. The service was also super friendly, good at taking care of us, and overall made the experience really pleasant. The menu had a good variety of food and we settled on a breakfast item as well as some other of their specialties like arepas and a cachapa. The cachapa was our favorite due to the sweetness of the wrap, but the arepa was fantastic as well honestly. The breakfast dish we got was super filling and also had a lot of amazing variety - would definitely recommend if you're looking for a full meal! Overall, we had a great time here and I'd certainly come back for a good meal and kind service. Thanks, El Sitio!

The food was consistently delicious and everything tasted incredible. Today I was walking through Coral Gables and got hungry, so I decided to give it another try after a couple of disappointments a few year back. We were greeted warmly and the service was outstanding, the staff was attentive, courteous, and always smiling, which really makes a difference. They started us off with complimentary arepitas de chicharrón that were excellent. I ordered the patacón de carne, which was packed with flavor, though the shredded meat came a little cold. We also got the patacón de pollo and we loved it. Both came with fresh avocado, tomato, and lettuce, and the green plantain was perfectly crispy. They also brought out their four house sauces (white, green, pink, and spicy) and every single one was fantastic. The portions were generous and more than enough for one person. I'm really glad my return visit was a positive experience. It reminded me why I loved this place so much, and I'll definitely be back to try more dishes.

I placed an order online through their website and drove to pick it up only to find out that their own website listed the wrong address for this location that Apple Maps has the wrong hours for. What a mess! By the time I got to the wrong address and called to figure out what was going on, my food had been sitting for 30 min and I was still 15 min away from the right address + 25 min to where I was staying. I had ordered arepas, empanadas and ceviche. When I finally arrived to pick up I asked for the food to be remade specially the ceviche since I didn't feel comfortable eating something raw after it seating on the counter for over an hour due to their mistake. There was push back but they finally agree to re make the ceviche only. However the rest of the food was cold by the time we ate it. Very disappointing. Food was ok, not amazing or memorable

The La Pelúa is the real MVP, packed hasta el tope with juicy carne mechada and melted yellow gouda that hits en el alma. It's not just tasty, it's arrechísima. You bite into that and boom, you're back on the streets of Caracas, eating sabroso and forgetting you're even in Brickell. And the papitas fritas? Una vaina seria. Super crispy, golden, and totally addictive. You'll say you're just gonna try a few... mentira. You'll crush the whole thing before you're halfway through your arepa. Can't miss the toppings like alioli, garlic, guasacaca, spicy, or the Venezuelan punch, tartar sauce. Now let's talk billete: the price is a ganga. For what you get, massive portions, flavor for days, and that homemade feel, it's honestly a steal. In this part of Miami? That's a miracle with guasacaca on top. Plus, the crew? Unos cracks. Full-on Venezuelan warmth, quick service, good vibes, and they treat you like you've been coming there since chamito. Yasimar (pelo largo negro chick, Elizabeth, Lizbeth, Juan, and Efrain, gracias por contagiar real pana energy all around. In short: La Pelúa + crispy fries + price that doesn't hurt + puro sabor criollo + a killer team = 20/10. Go, eat, and leave saying: "¡Coño, qué brutal está esto!"

The first thing that caught my attention was the beautiful outdoor setup. The lavender accents, the adorable decorative bicycle, and the refreshing mist made such a difference on a hot Miami summer day. It's the only restaurant on the block offering that kind of cooling system, and it's such a thoughtful touch. The outdoor seating is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for 2 groups of 4 without feeling crowded. As soon as I walked inside, I was greeted by a warm, cozy atmosphere. Everything was spotless the dining area, the simple yet elegant table settings, and the beautiful pastry display. You can tell they take pride in every detail!! What truly made the experience unforgettable was the customer service. The owner was there personally welcoming guests and made me feel right at home. Everyone had genuine smiles, and before I had even ordered, she generously offered me a complimentary cachapa. That level of hospitality is rare and speaks volumes about how much they care about their customers. The energy of this place is incredible warm, welcoming, and full of heart. It's the kind of restaurant that makes you want to come back, not just for the food but for the experience. I'm so happy I found this hidden gem, and I'll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

I use to highly recommend the small Venezuelan hole in the wall with great pastry and savory options. However, the service is not worth it. For example today I came by myself walked inside to ask if I could sit at the empty tables outside. The server came a few minutes after with a menu, I tried to make it easy so I said "I am just having chicken tenders and a cup of water please". She said "great so you've been here before". After 10 minutes of sitting alone I walked inside and politely asked for a cup of water. She responded "it's free I'll bring it when I'm ready". So I went back outside sat by myself and a gentlemen sat him self and ordered an espresso. The server made his espresso brought it to him while I am still sitting on the hot side walk without a cup of water. She brought the cup of water while I was getting up to leave. At this point it had been 17 minutes. I told her I was leaving and she said I have to stay for the chicken tenders. I said I would have loved to but the lack of service and disrespect made me loose my appetite. She then went on to call me "Pathetic". I didn't respond I've been in the restaurant industry for 27 years have a quite successful restaurant here in Miami Beach. I don't know the servers name she never told me. But if anyone "owners or investors" want to look into the matter I highly recommend it. She had dark curly hair, was over wait and wearing glasses. Calling a guest"/paying customer "Pathetic" is unacceptable.
