    I always come here for vegan pastelitos and their money latte! This is also a great spot for craft beers as they have an endless selection that isn't available everywhere. This is also my favorite place for pitaya bowls, and I always come to get some for my dad. I've had them from other places and no place is as good. They also have really unique treats throughout the the store; drinks, ice cream, yogurts - all brands and items you can't find everywhere, not even at grocery stores. It might look like just a gas station to you, but take a peek inside and be surprised!

    Juice and Smoothie menu

    Not just your local gas station convenience store!!! Don't assume there's just a little deli or those hot dogs that seem to be rolling forever in the back. The food served here is legit! I vouch for this place often and many people are surprised when entering. The location is small but organized, clean, and decorated really nicely with custom painted menu signs and white subway tile walls. The menu has a nice variety of fresh and made to order smoothies, juices, açaí bowls, salads, and sandwiches. I can easily say this place has one of the best açaí bowls in Miami. The hulk one is my go to but there is something for everyone and are accommodating to any modifications! All the sandwiches are also good but I especially love the vegetarian Hippie Dippie. Oh and the baked goods!! A nice assortment of huge made in-house empanadas and pastelitos (even some vegan ones!) The store itself also has a great selection of beer and craft drinks, even CBD ones. Only downfall is there's usually only one person working the counter so if there's a line expect to wait a good amount of time as they have to take the order and make the food one by one. I'd also recommend ordering to-go as there isn't a comfortable sitting area besides a small counter. Definitely a great local healthy lunch option!

    Most IPA's were out of date.  2+ months.

    From the street, you wouldn't find it. Heavily advertised as a Mobile gas station, however once you reach the front door you'll see a few small stickers advertising Mendez Fuel. The other Mendez's have actual advertising and storefront visuals. This store presents and acts as a Mobile first, as 95% of the customers I saw in line were there for lotto, bathroom keys, or gas purchases. The female pouring my crowler was awesome and she bumped up the score to 3 stars. Their lines are cleaner, from what I'm currently tasting, than the others. Super narrow aisles and I had to wedge myself between the paying customers and the beer. I'll come back if something good is on tap. Ohhh! If you want BCBS, they have boxes of them.

    Bought at Mendez!

    Mendez Fuel is a legit boutique beer and wine store that happens to also be a gas station w an adjacent drive thru car wash. The selections of beers/wine available are from local and not so local breweries and wineries. You have ever rotating options on tap to fill your growlers. The snacks available are health conscious and very delectable as well. Staff member Carmen was extremely helpful and well informed on what breweries and beers were on tap and was able to recommend a new selection to consider. I will continue coming to Mendez for all my craft beer needs!

    Pavo Club Sandwich

    Amazing sandwiches just had the pavo club, everything is fresh, looking forward to trying a different one next visit

    This place is so cool! We came by on a quick whim when my friend wanted some coffee. As soon as we walked in we knew we found something special. Think of the beer section of Whole Foods packed into this little store. They had a great selection of snacks, too, and even had beer on tap where I got their "big ass can" of local beer. It was awesome! Needless to say, we left with more than we came for and had an awesome experience. Definitely check this place out!

    305 Bowl
    Sheratanairy F.

    I've been coming to Mendez fuel for about 2 years now and never reviewed them!! How dare me! One of the best Acai bowls in Miami and never disappointed. The portion given would anyone with an Acai craving satisfied. I also get their chicken empanadas which are filled from top to end. So yummmy!

    Christian D.

    Ordered through Eat24. If I only got the acai bowls, I would have given this place 4 stars. I also ordered a salad and my GF got a sandwich. My salad (stairway to heaven) was essentially a large bowl with a small spinach farm in it, 63746276243728 lbs of bean sprouts, a sprinkle of hemp seeds, 2 slivers of avocado, 4 strawberries, and like 4 slices of turkey. They didnt even send the dressing. Hard to enjoy a dry salad. I will never not have salad dressing in my house again. My GF got the I love Italy sandwich and was not impressed with it at all. It was soggy (perhaps they dumped my salad dressing on it?) For $11 and $9 respectively, not worth it! The Wynwood bowl is phenomenal. I wish I would have only ordered that because it was really really really good. It's a shame the other crummy food was ordered because it really diminishes my desire to order from here, even the Wynwood bowl, again.

    The convinience store
    Sondra S.

    This is a gas station with a convinience store and mini cafeteria in the back. The cafeteria serves empanadas, salads, avocado toasts, health juices and smoothies freshly prepared. It's more of a pickup and go kind of place, but they have a small counter with four chairs so you can sit and enjoy your beverage and food. The convinience store has a variety of wines and beers that are not often seen in many places. They also have some CBD options available. The staff is friendly and helpful. It's one of my favorite places to go.

    Civil Society Fresh Growler
    Julio H.

    Warning: Don't call and have anything put on hold, or ask about the beers on tap. Calling on the phone is useless, and no one will own up to having taken your call once you show up. Save yourself the time, fuel, and indignation. On the other hand, drop by if you are near. They have really good bottles, and really good growler fills. I have scored several amazing beers that were not even growlers at their point of origin. Score! Mendez Fuel is a gas station with a 16 tap wall, all available to fill a growler or can. Prices are decent, $1 per can, I can't remember how much for the growler, plus the price of the beer you want. No brainer. Too bad you can't taste anything before you buy, but I never really had a problem with quality. If anything, return the growler and ask for money back. The bottles are also really good. Mendez Fuel also sells juices, sandwiches, wines, and normal gas station stuff.

    I come here almost every Saturday after walking in Key Biscayne. The staff is very friendly, specially the girls behind the table making fresh sandwiches and food. Pretty good variety of wine and beers, also a fair amount of healthy stuff if you're into that. The cold pressed organic juices are pretty expensive but well worth it and tasty.

    A 64oz growler and some craft beer!
    Kyle K.

    Best craft beer selection and the nicest employees and owners! They're always so nice to me and my brother whenever we walk in to purchase more of their huge selection! Come to Mendez I promise you won't regret it!

    Beer!!!
    Ambar C.

    They always have the best selection of craft beers. It is so awesome to know you can get growlers and also crowlers (cans) so it last longer if you are not going to drink it right away. They also have a great selection of smoothies, juices, and healthy sandwiches. Also acai bowls and other fruit bowls. Great array of paleo snacks as well. The juices are delicious and well worth the price! I did a juice cleanse once and it was the best tasting one by far, definitely recommend it. But the beer is the best part, really good variety close to home.

    Banana beer!! My favorite

    3.5 stars. CVS Pharmacy is a chain retail store that sells prescription and over-the-counter…read moremedications as well as other health products, hygiene products, cosmetics, cleaning products, foods and beverages, etcetera. My husband and I shopped here one time. We purchased candies, soda, deodorants, a razor, and more. The prices were high compared to other retailers' prices. The razor was locked up, so I had to ask an employee to get it for me, and she promptly did so. We used the self-checkout, and we experienced no problems with the machine during our scanning and paying. Because of the high prices, I definitely would not recommend shopping here frequently, but the store had what I needed.

    The CVS/Walgreens by where I live said they do NOT cut out French passport photos (but can take…read morethem), but I vaguely remember taking passport photos HERE 10 years ago as it is a couple of buildings next to the embassy and back then the embassy directed me here because my initial photos did not meet the criteria. I couldn't recall any other details regarding cutting photos and such, SO-- -- I called this CVS before I needed the passport photos to verify if they do cut them. Lady on the phone said "yes as long as you come in before 9:30am". I asked again to verify, she gave me the same answer. I arrive before 9:30 the next day, and the lady at the photo area said they do NOT cut the photos. This lady at least did not seem visibly irritated when I did not move forward with taking photos and found a different place that did cut them. ULTIMATELY, if you are reading reviews for the same reason I was-- as of August 2025 the French embassy HAS A CUTTER AND ACCEPTS WHITE BACKGROUNDS! 1 star based on THIS experience. I was better off not getting my call answered so I would have skipped going here in the first place. So do go and get your passport photos taken here for $17.99 for 2 photos OR! To save some $$ instead, Create your own passport photos using those photo-adjuster-to-passport-size websites, get on the CVS website to upload then print to 4x6 size, USE A COUPON, pick it up, then VERIFY THAT THE SIZE MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS (in my case, the face needs to measure a certain amount within the photo). The French passport photo size would have made 8 photos in that 1 4x6 print and cost .25 pre-tax with the coupon. Had to make this review so I have a reference 10 years from now lol Hope this helps someone else!
