Creole breakfast
Lauren T.

This was on our "must try" list before leaving Miami. All I can say is.."omg!! Inside is cute and cozy. Food and service was excellent. I got the Creole breakfast and my sister got a bacon and egg arepas. Make sure you ask for redish crème sauce ( I forgot to ask what it was called). Oh...and the Cafe Cubano with sugar is fire!!

Pabellon arepa

Friendly staff and tasty food! Reasonably priced arepas that are stuffed to the brim! The shredded beef is sooo flavorful.

Okay, so there are bathrooms but parking is street or general city parking. Bathrooms are non-binary as well. The pricing was great. A good amount of food and it was tasty. I saw some mention of these arepas jot being Venezuelan but the people at the counter were saying they were Cuban. So they may be different then Venezuelan style. I am not Venezuelan so I can't say if it's traditional or not. But as a Latina that grew up in Central America I can say it sure is tasty! As a Salvadorian the arepas tasted like a thinner version of our tortillas made with Maseca (corn flour) so I loved it. Loaded with stuff in the middle the meat was seasoned so deliciously I love sauces and they willingly gave me so many it was awesome! So tasty and I got the arepa with plátanos (plantains!!!) OMG that is the key to my heart are delicious plantains. We got the side order of avocado and it's those big avocados so they really tend to lack flavor although the look beautiful. Also got the Cuban sandwich (was nothing a pressed sandwich). Being Central American we love guava paste in our pastries so just a heads up that the empanadas don't come with jams or jellies just cheese. Cute restaurant and air conditioned, but it is rather tight quarters in there so if it was full you'll be bumping elbows for sure. But worth it because the food is tasty. Big portions too, I shared my arepa with my mom and we both left sooo full! Overall: Good food Good price Fast service Friendly service Street parking Bathrooms (non-binary) By lots of things AMAZING FRENCH FRIES!!!!

Tequeños

Tiny little café offering a yummy taste of Venezuela. The arepas are pretty large, like 2x the size of typical arepa, so it's worth the higher price. And so delicious! Pabellón Arepa: This is one hearty arepa! A thick layer of squeaky cheese starts as the delicious base. Like seriously, this is a lot of cheese and I love it. Then tons of delicious shredded beef, kinda like ropa vieja but without the peppers. Some black beans for extra protein. And a few yummy sweet plantains. All against the hearty and crispy arepa. Reina Pepiada Arepa: A must for avocado lovers. The filling is like a chicken salad, but the binding agent is avocado and blended herbs. And then there's some fresh avocado slices beside the chicken salad. Very fresh tasty. Though I think I like the pabellón a little more. Tequeño: I really can't get enough of these things. Squeaky and somewhat gooey cheese inside a fluffy dough that is deep fried. It's kina like a bready mozzarella stick. Great appetizer.

Shrimp Arepa camaron/ shrimp

I had asked a local Uber driver their favorite Venezuelan arepa and this was suggested. The shrimp arepa had huge butterfly shrimp that was deep fried and avocado. While it looked appealing the meal was rather under seasoned and their sauces accompanying had no flavor. Definitely suggest you look elsewhere and go to Doggie's The service was good but prices too high for a non-authentic arepa Made for tourists

9- Arepa Veggie
Divine K.

Saw a new spot on the beach with vegan and gluten free options that looked decently priced a month ago so I had to check it out. If you know me I love arepas and I can never get enough of them. After a nice workout on the beach and swim in the Atlantic I needed a good little bite and this restaurant caught my eye before stepping into a restaurant I usually hit up, so I checked it out. Nice little outdoor seating and inside a pretty clean set up as well. It was empty when I enter so I was catered to immediately by the cashier. I ordered a veggie arepa I didn't get her name but she was sweet and let me sample the black bean soup. My order was supposed to take like 10 mins so I told her I'd be at Sriracha House but expecting to return to pick up my plate. Unfortunately I took too long in line at Sriracha but she was thoughtful enough to bring my order to me because she didn't want it to get cold. The arepa was very good too I enjoyed it savory and the side of vinaigrette added to the flavor. So if you're not vegan but you got vegan friends this is a spot to go to. Food is pretty good, nice atmosphere, good people I definitely will be coming back

Super cute little sandwich shop! The lady at the counter was super sweet and helpful explaining what things were to us. We ordered 2 different arepas and the arepa bites. Everything was hot, massive, and delicious. I needed a fork to get through the first bit before I could pick it up and shove it in my face. Very filling! We also had a maracuya smoothie that was amazing.

Pabellón ($10.90)
Ella M.

A sandwich with sweet plantain inside?! Get out of here! This was my first time trying Venezuelan food/arepas and let me tell you I was NOT disappointed. I got the Pabellon ($10.90) which was super delicious. I will say it is a bit difficult to eat because it is stuffed with goodness. And while they provided a fork, I relied on my good ol pair of hands to do the job! I also got an empanada which was different from any empanadas I've tried before. The dough was more hard/crispy but it tasted great nonetheless. All the food was freshly made and hot! The place was clean and pleasant in aesthetic. The staff were nice and the customer service was great. I definitely recommend this place!!

Mimzy F.

I don't even know how I ended up spending $30 at a relatively low-priced place, but every dollar was worth it. The arepas were so delicious and if you don't know what a tequeño is, take this as a sign to order and find out! The spot is not on the best street, so definitely recommend during the day...we went at night and the crowd that walked by while we were trying to eat (there is currently no indoor seating because of Covid, but that might be different as time passes). We got a few wackos giving us a hard time, so definitely would return during the day next time.

Mayra M.

I think I am a little biased as I LOVE arepas, but I also like to think that I am a good judge of a good tasting arepas. The arepas at Arepas & Sand Wish are DELICIOUS. I loved the little establishment that felt like home. The ambiance is upbeat and fun. It is a great spot to eat at any time of the day. 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.

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

One time, I had a mix-up with the menu when ordering a pepito--I misunderstood how it was labeled--but the team handled it immediately and with zero hesitation. They were kind, understanding, and quickly made me a new order without any hassle. That level of care really stood out to me. On top of that, the quality of the food is next level. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and made with attention to detail. The atmosphere is just as impressive. The space has a fun, energetic vibe that fits perfectly with Wynwood, making it a great spot to hang out and enjoy a meal. What really makes it special, though, is the staff--everyone is always smiling, welcoming, and genuinely seems happy to be there.

We also ordered the beef soup, which could have used a bit more flavor, and the Holiday plate, which was okay but not something that stood out. The double cheeseburger and an arepa were also just okay and probably not dishes we'd order again. Unfortunately, we also ordered the pepito mixto, but it never arrived because our waiter forgot to place the order. Service overall was a bit slow, and the atmosphere felt a little quiet--some music would really help improve the ambience. That said, the salad, plantains and juices alone would bring us back. We'd definitely return for those.

I was in the neighborhood to get a badly needed haircut while visiting from the Bay Area for work and next door on the corner on an otherwise unassuming street is this solid legit Cuban sammie and coffee place. Locals galore sitting outside sipping strong Cuban coffee and eating Sammie's and empanadas. Who am I to argue with the locals. They definitely steered me right on this one. The Cubano was stuffed with moist roasted pork and ham with pickles and melted cheese. The spicy garlicky green sauce that comes with it could make an old shoe delicious !

Located a couple of blocks off a major road (Washington Ave.), Las Olas Cafe felt like a hole-in-the wall neighborhood joint - a team of off-duty police officers were enjoying their dinner inside the restaurant, and families were eagerly lined up at the to-go window outside the restaurant. As I waited in line to order, I perused the menu, which included breakfast items, coffee, and a variety of sandwiches. Even though there were only a couple of customers ahead of me in line, each meal was made-to-order before the next order was taken. This meant that the staff prepared about half a dozen coffees, a couple of smoothies, and several meals before it was my turn to order. When I finally placed my order for a Cubano sandwich, I waited about 20 minutes for my food to be prepared. My sandwich was served piping hot, and I eagerly took my food to go so I could enjoy it at the beach nearby. Despite the wait (about an hour from the time I arrived at the cafe despite the short line), my food was delicious. The sandwich was stuffed with crispy shredded pork and ham, and a generous amount of mustard, melted cheese, and pickles pulled it all together.

As we were waiting to order we were reading all the awards they've won and were looking at the pics of the menu and what we got was nothing that seemed even remotely related. First of all, we asked how long it would take because we were in a rush and they said 10 minutes. It took 45. We then asked if we could get it to go and she said no, but we didn't have a choice and we could not stay. She served it on regular plates anyway and we then had to wait for her to repackage it to go, which was carton with seran wrap which did not go well, especially for the queso fundido which is obviously meant to be eaten quickly and on the spot. In terms of ordering, they had NO ceviche, which seems to be all they won these awards for, so that was disappointing. The fish tacos we got looked NOTHING like they did in the pic - starting with the fact that they were crispy looking, breaded and fried in the pic and in real life they were just a few pieces of fish grilled. Sadly these were the best thing we ordered. The queso fundido tasted like movie theater cheez whiz. The carnitas tacos also looked nothing like the pic. Ugh. Also it was $90 total for all that and two sodas. Complete disappointment and so frustrating to have a rushed lunch that was honestly simply bad.
