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.

Excellent. This Venezuelan Columbian fusion spot was pricey, but really good. Random note, their…read moreuse of sea salt/large salt crystals was very well done on their meats and the smoking/Wood fire scent was a common thread across many dishes, including the Caesar salad croutons. 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.

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.

Guess we came at a good time cause later we did see more people come in. For starters, the staff here were all so professional and welcoming. Shoutout to MARIA for being the sweetest! Great recommendations from her. I loved the food so much. Mix ceviche -- so refreshing and loved the variety Jalea Bocas house (fried shrimp, fried fish, fried yuca fries) -- a little bit of everything and fried perfectly. Paired with the sauces. Skirt and fettuccine -- cooked as I requested (medium). Packed with flavor. SO FREAKING GOOD. Arroz cremoso de aji Amarillo with lomo saltado -- unique dish that worked so well. Recommend! Spicy margarita -- best drink here. Mezcal mule -- my mom and I didn't really like it because it was too smoky. Maria was kind enough to swap it out for us with another spicy margarita and didn't charge for the mezcal mule. Love the ambiance. They have daily promos on some of their items so be sure to check it out. I highly recommend this spot. 10/10

From the moment we walked in, the customer service was excellent. The host and wait staff paid attention to every little detail and made us feel genuinely welcomed. To start, I ordered the cachapa and the lomo saltado empanada, and both were incredible. The empanada especially was packed with flavor. My wife had the bandeja paisa bowl, and I went with the risotto lomo saltado. That dish almost put me to sleep in the best way possible. Comfort food level 100. We had to finish the night with one of their coffees, and it was the perfect ending to the meal. Big shoutout to our server Elvis, who guided us through the menu and gave great recommendations. Usually menus with influences from so many different cultures can feel all over the place, but Luka somehow pulls it off perfectly. They're not just trying to do a little bit of everything. They truly feel like masters of it all. Definitely coming back.

Hoy visité Luka Restaurant por primera vez y me quedé completamente sin palabras…read more No soy ni colombiana ni venezolana, y precisamente por eso mi experiencia tiene tanto valor: no necesité que esos sabores fueran los de mi infancia para que me conquistaran por completo. Cada plato que probé fue una obra maestra -- la variedad, la sazón, la perfección en cada detalle. Una comida que trasciende fronteras y nacionalidades. En más de dos décadas viviendo aquí, jamás había comido algo tan auténtico, tan bien ejecutado, sin poder hacerle una sola crítica. Ni una. Hasta el café fue impecable. El lugar es hermoso, la atención cálida y genuina, y se siente el amor y la dedicación detrás de cada cosa que sirven. La buena comida no necesita que seas de un país específico para tocarte el corazón, solo necesita estar hecha con alma. Y en Luka, el alma se siente desde el primer bocado hasta el último sorbo de café. ¡Volveré sin duda!

Would definitely recommend this place, can't wait to go back and try some more stuff.

This is a steakhouse but they have plenty of other Venezuelan favorites. Definitely get the chicharron or the sampler appetizer (arepas, pork ribs and crispy chicken wings).

The meal portions are generous and reasonably priced. The cachapa is delicious. This particular location has plenty of parking. The only reason I did not give this location a five star review is because the service was subpar. After sharing an appetizer with the table, we were told to keep our dirty utensils as they do not replace them. They also do not allow any substituoons.

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.
