    PABELLON with chicken, rice, plantains, black beans & cheese AND chicken empanadas
    Jazzlyn V.

    This place was so good! If you are looking for some good, Venezuelan food in the area then try this spot out. I did feel that the chicken could use a little bit more flavor, but the plantains were to die for. I am not a fan of Venezuelan empanadas, but if you are then definitely get them! The breading on the empanadas were nice and sweet. The vibe inside of the restaurant was so cute and colorful and we truly enjoyed our experience.

    Churrasco arepa con yuca frita $15, $10

    The food had good flavor and cooked well. Service was good and helpful. But the value is horrible. $36 for an arepa, yuca frita, and an iced coffee. My biggest complaint is paying $15 for a steak arepa with 4 or 5 bite size pieces on the top and the rest was filled with cheese and tomato. Either lower the price or add twice as much meat. It is a cute little spot and would be a nice place to sit, have a bite, work on my computer but the prices will keep me away.

    They have a variety of Venezuelan food. Everything is made fresh so expect to wait a bit for your food. This place is a locals favorite especially Uber and Lyft drivers. They have tables for dining but a lot of customers grab food to go.

    Chicken empanada

    Damn this was good. Been a while since I've had a good arepa and this hit the spot. The shredded chicken mixture in the empanada (also a nada-based shell) was also delicious. Awesome spot for a quick bite.

    Yeah, let's just update my review with another 5 star score. I love consistency, it's just arepas, but they are always on point, and a good size for the price. Ive had late night arepas, lunch, take out, no exceptions, always delicious.. On my recent visit this week i had a chicken arepa & tequenos :)

    The food here is phenomenal, I literally crave the stuffed arepas from here sometimes. And great for when you want to get late night bites because this place is open to 4am and conveniently located next to Lagniappe and close to Midtown/Wynwood area. The place is decorated with fun wallpaper designs - and is counter service.

    Visited this place a couple of years ago! And remembered coming back to it twice. However, on this recent visit to Miami I couldn't remember the name and had to search for photos on my phone, and based on list of "Best Arepas in FL" this place ranked #3 and the decor inside confirmed my previous visit. Vibrant and colorful yet homey on the inside, this place offers an authentic taste of Venezuelan food. The cook herself was very sweet and is someone you can tell knows what she's doing in the kitchen. There's a lot to choose from and the menu itself can be a little overwhelming but I'd ask the front host her thoughts on what's delicious or what she's recommend. We got some appetizers the tostones con queso but honestly, I'd pass. Cheese on top of a plantain? I'd suggest they do a little more with this like over beans in between or some kind of sauce or protein. The other dish was these cheese cachapas which were delicious! The dipping sauce they offered for this specifically complimented it well, and their aji based chili sauce went well with them too. I got a Reina Pepiada arepa and it was delicious and just as good as I remembered from a few years back. However, I feel like the sizing may have shrunk since my last visit. Overall, I did enjoy the food and would definitely come back again to try something different.

    Beef Pabellon Arepa
    David Y.

    A nice-looking hole-in-the-wall hidden just a block away from bustling Biscayne Boulevard. We tried four different arepas, some of which were better than others. The shredded beef and cheese, chicken pabellon, and chicken avocado salad were all good. The shredded chicken with avocado had the drawback of being stuffed first with chicken and then avocado, so that each bite had only one of the fillings and not both. They have an assortment of sauces tableside that you can try if you eat in. We had to take ours to go unfortunately. As a bonus, their decor is very bright and inviting, which is a nice plus.

    Super cute spot! Open till 4am on Friday's and Saturday's so it's a great spot to grab a quick bite before or after an outing! They have items like arepas, empanadas, traditional small bites, and bowls. They also have a fridge full of items you can purchase and take home. Order at the counter, take a seat and they'll bring the food to you. Small space with limited seating inside an outside. Enjoy!

    It's always such a pleasure coming here! I brought my friends who live in Tennessee today and they fell in love with Gabriela, the food and the atmosphere. This is such a perfect spot to enjoy great food with top quality service. Absolutely recommended

    Cute decor Latin food with an espresso machine. But virtually EVERYTHING was FRIED. The shredded beef arepas was delicious. But $10 I think is a little steep. The bean and chicken arepas was good also, lots of fillings. Yuca fries were legit soaked in oil... hence super crispy. But I can feel my pores The cheese roll thingy was DEF an acquired taste. Left untouched Empanadas was SUPER greasy and too sweet Overall: interesting Latin dish that I wanted to try, workers are nice, probably won't come back again due to the overtly sweetness and greasiness.

    Pabellon Arepa beef and chicken
    Diandra L.

    I've been seeing La Latina all over instagram and opted to pick up for lunch recently. I was not disappointed. Tuckeda way just beyond Wynwood this super cute Venezuelan spot is serving up some delicious arepas. I opted for the pabellon arepa which is filled with beef (or chicken), cheese, plantains and black beans. It was a huge portion and also super yummy. We also got tequenos to share. Both orders came with your choice of cilantro or garlic sauce. I obviously ordered both and was so happy that I did! This is the perfect spot for authentic Venezuelan fare that does not break the bank.

    Tequeños
    Jacqueline T.

    I read that when in Miami, trying an arepa was a must and that this was the place to do it. Covid-19: you can order and pay online. They have a couple of tables outside which we decided to eat at since no one was around. I've had many arepas before. They are always hit or miss for me. Some are really good, but some are dry. These ones are a huge hit for me. We got Tequeños, the Cheese & Sweet Plantains Arepa with Guayanés, and the Asado Negro & Cheese Arepa with Queso De Mano. Everything was amazing. We wanted more and should have gotten more. I had never had tequeños before, but I will be getting these every time I see them. They're filed with cheesy goodness. The arepas were the best I've ever had. They were not at all dry. The cheese was thick and so flavorful. We loved the meat. Overall this was in the top 2 places we ate in Miami and I can't recommend it highly enough.

We came in on a Monday around 6pm and ordered off the happy hour menu. The brussel sprouts were out of this world good! The sauce they put on it is sweet and lightly spicy, and the little bits of bacon were a happy, salty surprise. The beef and chicken empanadas were also delicious. The chicken had tons of cheese, but the beef was my favorite, it was so flavorful! We ordered the pistachio cake with white chocolate ice cream, and raspberry sauce. It was so refreshing and a perfect pairing of flavors. I wish there was a little more cake, but I'm not complaining. I will absolutely be back. And next time, I gotta try their cocktails.

This place has an energy that's hard to manufacture -- warm, lively, and genuinely fun. When Argentina is playing, it's a whole different level. The kind of atmosphere where you look up and realize hours have passed. Fair warning: it does get a little hot in there, but I'd sit there dripping sweat before I'd think about leaving early. That's how good it is. The service matches the energy -- attentive, genuine, and the kind that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. It's the full package. Now the food. I don't even know the name of the chicken cheeks dish, but I think about it. Whatever it is, order it. The entraña was cooked perfectly -- if you know Argentine cuts, you know how much that matters, and they nailed it. And then the dulce de leche crepe. I don't throw around the word incredible lightly, but there's no other word for it. Just get it. Don't leave without ordering the sangria either. It rounds out the whole experience exactly the way it should. Fiorito's is the real deal -- the food, the service, the atmosphere. One of those places you just keep coming back to.

The empanadas de choclo (filled with corn and mozzarella) were rich and full of flavor. For the mains, the churrasco was tender and served with cilantro rice, which felt unique and is not something I come across often. The mushroom ravioli was coated in a truffle sauce that I also really enjoyed. Overall, everything was a 10 for me, and I would definitely come back. One thing that stood out was the absence of alfajores on the dessert menu. Given how authentically Argentine the place felt, alfajores would have been my go to choice if they had been available.
