    Excellent food, I'm so glad they are close to my house. I ever heard about them until a college recommended this place to my dad and didn't disappoint me. We ordered go empanadas and all of them were great. The flavor was delicious, a lot of protein in every bite, and the crispy dough was perfect, the green sauce was a plus and the size was for 2 people, barely finished my dish.

    Buena salsa

    La Comida: Su especialidad son las empanadas, las cuales son las mejores que he comido en USA (y he visitado muchos sitios) las preparan al momento, los rellenos son abundantes y bien sazonados, de tamaño son gigantes y la masa perfecta. Tienen una de chuleta y queso amarillo que me recuerda las de Don Tio Don de Puerto La Cruz. Adicionalmente tiene otras comidas Venezolanas en su menu, como; Cachapas. Pabellon y Cachitos. Los Fines de semana preparan unas sopitas que son muy buenas, cuando voy me cuesta decidir si sopa o empanada asi que termino comiendo ambas, aunque la empanada sola ya te llena. El Ambiente: El lugar esta nuevo, bien decorado, limpio y agradable en general. A veces se llena porque tiene pocas mesas pero fluye rapido. Tiene un amplio y comodo estacionamiento, estan en un mall abierto donde siempre hay puestos. Buen sistema de aire (no sales con olor a comida) y los baños estan limpios. La Atencion: Esta atendido por sus propios dueños (Creo que es la clave de porque todo funciona bien en este sitio) son unos jovenes emprendedores que aman su negocio y lo que hacen por lo cual estan al pendiente de cada detalle y se esmeran en que todo marche bien. Los Precios: Este es otro de los puntos destacados, las empanadas son baratas por la porcion ya que una sola empanada es una comida completa, me imagino que los ajustaran a futuro. En regla general manejan buenos precios sobre todo al compararlos con otros sitios de comida Venezolana (casi todos son caros como norma) En conclusion, 100% recomendado, tiene delivery pero es una experiencia que vale la pena hacer el viaje al sitio y comer alli. Las mejores son de @mochimabistrofl la porción es abundante (son gigantes). buen relleno, buena masa, buen precio, el sitio es limpio, bonito y cómodo de estacionar. La atención muy buena, ya que son jovenes emprendedores que aman su negocio y lo trabajan ellos mismo (creo que allí esta la magia que todo este bien con el sitio). Tienen otras opciones venezolanas en el menu, por ejemplo la sopa los fines es como estar en el Budare del Este en Caracas, y el cafe es free va por la casa. Los recomiendo ampliamente.

    Amazing venezuelan food! The empanadas are huge but worth it, I ordered the pabellon empanada, arepitas de chicarron, arepa navideña and pastelistos all was super delicious. Their staff are friendly, attentive and helpful. The location is super modern and cozy just feel like home. Honestly one of my fav places so far!

    Wow este lugar, quedamos enamorados. Somos amantes de las empanadas Venezolanas y aqui en mochima son una delicia. Me gusta que son dulcitas y crujientes, y los rellenos son una locura de divinos! Todo de excelente calidad y la cantidad de relleno es perfecta. Nos encanto que las empanadas son grandes, de 23 cm y tienen dos sabores que aun son mas grandes de 27 cm. Tienes rellenos clásicos como la de queso que estaba deliciosa, y la pelua (queso amarillo con carne mechada) y la estrella, la de pabellon Margariteno. Los precios me parecieron excelentes para los tamanos. Probamos tambien los tequenos y unos pastelitos espectaculares sobretodo el de carne molida wow! La chicha estaba tambien increible super super cremosa y tienen jugos naturales El lugar es super lindo y acogedor, te sientes como en un chiringuito de la playa, we loved it! El negocio es atendido por sus duenos y son un amor! Volveriamos mil veces mas

    Food was not great. There are better Venezuelan restaurants in Miami. Small sitting area makes it a bit crammed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 meat is always juice and tender never chewy. The server does get wide tracked sometimes but still manages to get to our table when needed. So if you have anything you want to order, make sure to order it while you have then at your table. The environment is family friendly and they sometimes have a mini fair for kids in the back part of the venue. Its not your usually sit down restaurant as it's always in the open but their meats, sausages, and sides are all very good! Love this place. Also, I'd say the prices are pretty fair for the quality you get from it. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

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. Yasimar (pelo largo negro chick, Elizabeth, Lizbeth, Juan, and Efrain, gracias por contagiar real pana energy all around. In short: La Pelúa + crispy fries + price that doesn't hurt + puro sabor criollo + a killer team = 20/10. Go, eat, and leave saying: "¡Coño, qué brutal está esto!"

My "special bbq mixta" (grilled steak and chicken) were delicious, approaching the same level of awesomeness as Pinolandia's carne asada. My wife loved her veggie dog covered in toothpick-sized potato chips and pink sauce. My daughter devoured her tacos and my son refused to eat anything... *sigh* I might even go back before we leave to try the burger that Bourdain ate, the Doralzuela...

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.
