    Cheeseburger
    Tarrah P.

    I'm so happy I found this place! It's a small cafe in downtown that everyone needs to know about. Or not so I can always get a seat haha. It's very open inside with soft music playing. The staff was all very nice and super attentive. I got the half panini and half salad which was great portion sizes for the price. The boo got a cheeseburger and fries and said they were great! Also they partnered with a local run club and all proceeds of the featured drink went towards sponsoring the club to run the Chicago Marathon! We love community partnerships!

    I can tell this is an underrated spot, but it's a IYKYK kind of situation. Mina has been open downtown since 2016, kind of by Space. It's pretty hidden in a strip mall. They have parking!! The menu focuses on arepas, tequenos, empanadas, salads, and sandwiches. They have fresh juice too. They have good lunch specials and fun pop ups like burgers and tacos. Great spot for a laid back and affordable lunch.

    Caesar salad and fries, came with my lunch special.

    I had planned to get my order to go, but when I saw there was plenty of space to sit, I decided to stay and eat. I got the mushroom burger from the lunch special, and it was really good. I had actually ordered the wrong thing on Uber Eats--I thought I had selected the lunch special but ended up just ordering a burger. Even though it was my mistake, the staff was so kind and still gave me the lunch special. I really appreciated how accommodating they were!

    Steak Pepito
    Yemaya J.

    The restaurant is super quaint and clean, the service is very friendly as well. The food is absolutely amazing, I definitely recommend the Steak Pepito!

    This placed is located in downtown miami! It's located downstairs from Park place. I lived there for about 8 years and this place has never let me down. The service is friendly and nice. The esthetics feel like a Internet cafe/Starbucks but it looks nice and clean inside. I usually only order Pepitos (chicken/steak...no ketchup & mustard with extra garlic and cilantro). The Pepitos are Amazingly delicious. I definitely recommend this place. You might want to try it now before the World center is built because the line may be out the door.

    Special of the day

    Mina is a short five minute walk from my office building so I often go for lunch and order the lunch special. They have a different lunch special everyday of the week, usually under $10. Great food, great service and great prices!! As my team and I got often we've become quite familiar with the staff which are super friendly and attentive!! Definitely recommend to anyone if you're in the area.

    Crunchy Arepa and and Carne Mollda Empanada
    Kyla K.

    Came here for a quick lunch! Mina Bistro is super cute, and the staff was incredibly friendly, and gave me lots of drink and food recommendations. However the coffee was watered down, and the meal itself wasn't amazing, there just wasn't a lot of flavor, and not a lot of filling in the empanada.

    Divinas empanadas

    Recomendado 100% excelente comida venezolana amo este lugar las empanadas son divinas, el servicio es rápido, ambiente familiar todos alli son un amor .

    Signature Pepito
    Albert A.

    Absolutely delicious. I ordered the Pepito with both steak and chicken, including all the toppings (onions, ketchup, mayo, mustard, garlic sauce, cilantro sauce, potato sticks, and cheese). First, this sandwich is loaded -- all of the toppings listed mix well and leave you with immense joy (seriously). Second, the chicken and steak were tender, cooked to perfection. Whenever I'm back in Miami, I'll be back here. Price: 4/5 Quality: 5/5 Quantity: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5

    A bug in my salad
    Alfred B.

    I used to order here all the time till today. Look what was in my salad. Disgusting. I have never experienced something like this before. Don't order here!

    Pepito
    John C.

    Came here a few days ago on vacation with my fiancee and we enjoyed ourselves. I had the Pepito ( I'm greedy I got the chicken and steak selection lol) and crunchy arepas my fiancee had their avocado panini. Everything thing was flavorful, the staff was kind, we definitely comeback on our next trip.

    I used to order from Doggi's all the time when I worked in Brickell, but I'd never actually dined…read morein. Today, while waiting for something to print at Office Depot, I was searching for a nearby brunch spot when it popped up in my search & I'm so glad I did! First of all, the place is absolutely adorable. It was a packed Sunday morning around 11 a.m. Only one tiny table was left inside, though there were a couple outside too. Honestly, on a beautiful Miami morning, I wouldn't have minded sitting outdoors at all. What really stood out, though, was the service. Gabriela, our hostess and waitress, was wonderful. Warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind with a huge smile. She walked us through the menu, answered questions about dishes I didn't recognize (it's a Venezuelan spot, after all), and made us feel completely taken care of. Even more impressive was that she seemed to be the only waitress on duty yet never came across as flustered or hurried or anything other than pure sunshine! I ordered my longtime favorite, the arepa perica, just like I used to when I worked nearby, along with a fresh-squeezed orange juice and a chicken empanada to try. My father ordered the desayuno criollo. Everything was absolutely delicious. The presentation was beautiful, the plating thoughtful, and the flavors delivered across the board. The space was lively and full of families, making it a great Sunday brunch spot. Everything was spotless, and I don't usually call that out because it should be a given, but the restroom was impressively clean. Like extra clean. I also just learned they have multiple locations now, which is amazing. Well deserved. I can't wait to go back, and I wish them continued success.

    Apple Maps shows this place is closed on Sunday after 4pm (which is not the case) , so I went to…read moretheir website to look for a different location. 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 service is attentive, and the food is excellent -- both in flavor and presentation. It's a place we have genuinely enjoyed visiting. However, during our most recent visit, there were a few concerns that stood out. First, we noticed that the prices listed on the menu did not match the prices on the receipt. While the differences were only a few dollars, it's important for pricing to be transparent and consistent to avoid confusion. We also really enjoyed the live music -- it created a wonderful atmosphere. However, once the band went on break, videos from the same artist played for over an hour. In our opinion, the content seemed directed toward one specific culture. Given that this is South Florida, where multiculturalism is such a big part of the community, it would be great to see entertainment that reflects and embraces a broader audience. Finally, while the food remains very good, the portion sizes feel small for the current pricing. It seems that prices have increased noticeably, and the value does not feel quite as balanced as before.

    I haven't given a bad review in a long time but I couldn't pass on this one. Food was so greasy…read morethat it made me sick. The meat was overcooked and oily at the same time.

    This place is demasiado brutal, vale!…read more Pepito's Plaza Brickell is pure Venezuelan soul wrapped in an arepa. 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 lavender accents, the adorable decorative bicycle, and the refreshing mist made such a difference on a hot Miami summer day.

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!
