    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!

    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

    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.

    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!

    My friend brought me (tourist) here and easily hands down my favorite meal of my trip!! The Capache Santa Barbara is enough to feed 2 and the flavorrrrr is immaculate. Beef is tender, cheese melts, everything is on point. Service is good and place ambience is casual nice. Totally recommend! (Kate my server is great)

    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.

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

Unfortunately, we also ordered the pepito mixto, but it never arrived because our waiter forgot to place the order.

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.

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.

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.
