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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Tried the chicken and avocado arepa as well as the shredded beef arepa. The arepa was fresh and crispy and nicely wrapped in paper so that you could eat it on the go. I selected the cilantro sauce for one and garlic sauce for the other, and wish I had selected the cilantro sauce both times because it was the best sauce! The shredded chicken was plentiful albeit a tiny bit dry, and came with many fresh green avocado slides on top. The shredded beef was by far my favorite as it had finely diced vegetables and was packed with flavor and juices. It also came with a ton of white cheese (maybe too much cheese, if that is a thing!). Overall, I will be back to sample more of their arepas! Highly recommended!

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. read more

It's extremely expensive for what they offer. They are the best example of overpriced Venezuelan food exploiting Venezuelan nostalgia. The ambiance is good, the people are nice, the servings are smaller than any other similar place. read more

Tried this place for the first time. As a natural born Venezuelan coming from a house of great Venezuelan cooks, this place did not disappoint! The food was amazing, fresh and delicious! The staff was friendly too and the restaurant was very clean and welcoming with Venezuelan products and decor, made it feel like a little piece of home away from home. If I could give it 10 stars, I would! read more

I wanted to try everything. Arepas were so delicious. Shark + cheese + plantain was my favorite. It's open super late so after the club you can come here for a bite to gather your loins. The cashier/waitress was nice + helpful. I appreciate good customer service & she was WORKING. Answered all of our questions & made suggestions. Try anything !!! read more
Came by La Latina again today and it was so good! I got my usual order of tequeños ($8) and La Carajita (arepa with shredded cheese, avocado and sweet plantains $12) the staff was kind and friendly. The stars of the show are their cilantro and garlic sauces. Also, their hot sauce is SO good. It pairs well with everything. The food has been really fresh and flavorful lately. Always a good visit in this brightly decorated space. It's a great spot for late night bites as well. read more

I love the arepas at this place especially with their sauce Verdi! The place is small but it's cute and simple. I recommend it to anyone, I usually get the arepa that has avocado, queso and maduros - the best! read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk in, but as soon as I took one bite from their delicious arepa it was just WOW! You really recommend the reina papiada if it's your first time, it's basically chicken salad mix with avocado, Great service, very chill vibe. read more

New fave alert! La Latina is a small Colombian restaurant known for their arepas that I was oh so lucky to learn about recently. Tucked into a small building that you'd easily drive by if you weren't paying attention, it is decorated with hanging vines, rope lights, and what appears to be wall segments dressed in wrapping paper. My good friend, who was born and raised in Colombia, said the wrapping paper isn't wrapping paper at all, but, rather, is a plastic table cloth that families use on their tables back home. The menu features plenty of things aside from arepas, including empanadas, cachapas (corn pancakes), tequeños, soups, and salads, and even has vegetarian options. You might be thinking, "hm, $9 for a little arepa?!" Let me reassure you that the arepas are super stuffed. I went with the Pabellón, which has shredded beef, sweet plantains, black beans, and tons of cheese. Such a great combination. The counter also has an assortment of imported sweets, and I'm in love with their coffee cups (see my uploaded pictures). Plenty of parking in the back of the building or on nearby streets and a great place to get some lunch, dinner, or food after a night on the town. Check them out! read more

Cuándo quieras probar una buena y deliciosa arepa, tienes que venir a La Latina. Cuando entras sientes que estás en Colombia, lindo ambiente. Dato curioso no sabes como cabe tanto en una arepa y lo rico que saben, lo mejor de todo quedas satisfecho. Si está cerca, deténgase y tome su arepa para comer ahí o para llevar, no se arrepentirá. Recomendada. When you want to try a good and delicious arepa, you have to come to La Latina. When you enter you feel like you are in Colombia, nice atmosphere. Curious fact, you don't know how much can fit in an arepa and how delicious they taste, best of all you are satisfied. If you are near by please stop and grab your arepa to dine in or to go, you won't regret it. Highly Recommended. read more

This was a super cute spot to pop in and grab some Latin food. Ordered the chicken empanada and chicken catira arepa. My friend also got the tequenos. Empanada was a little too greasy for me, which is why I decided to give this place a 4. Some people may prefer that but it was a bit much for me. Arepa: delicious!!! Not greasy at all, chicken is well cooked and there was plenty of cheese. Would get the catira arepa again, 10/10 Tequenos: so good! Highly recommend getting this to share with your party! I think it comes with 4. Overall I think this place was reasonably priced for the food, I plan on coming by again :) read more

I ordered the pictured arepa to-go. The order did take a while. It's a cozy small restaurant, but the service was slow. I waited for my order for around 20 minutes. There were also some delivery drivers waiting to pick up their orders. The arepa was good and so was the stuffing. read more
