    Parilla criolla. Realty** BE AWERE, NEVER FELT MORE SCAMMED IN MY LIFE, and by my own ppl.

    I payed 30$ not including tip for this disgrace... yes DISGRACE! I walked out expecting to open the delicious meal they advertised in their online page and when I open its just the steak y la arepa, WTF?? NOT EVEN THE GUASACACA??? Came back inside and asked why there wasn't any guayanés neither avocado in my plate not even mentioning how ridiculous the portion or amount of food is and the girl at the front just gave me the worst caraeculo there is and said it's extra... when nowhere online it's advertised that way, THIS IS TRULY DISRESPECTFUL AND A SPIT ON THE FACE TO ALL CUSTOMERS. Como venezolana I am truly truly disappointed. ESTO ES UN ABUSO.

    Me and my girlfriend were walking around Miami when we stumbled upon this place we got one of their tropical drinks and some garlic cilantro fries. Everything was very clean inside the food was very good. Service is very helpful. I suggesting things we might like great times in Miami hope to come back sometime.

    I've never written a review on Yelp but I felt the need to because of how disappointed I was in the food and presentation. Given that the majority of the entrees are $50+, I was hoping that the food would reflect the price but I could have made this at home and it would have been 10x better. I was just highly disappointed. The restaurant is beautiful though and the drinks are great.

    I have really fallen in love with Venezuelan food. The garlic, pink sauce and potato sticks are spot on. I always enjoy an egg on my burger so I love that most of the options come with it already. The Doralzuela is a legit burger but it can get messy because it's so many ingredients and so big...I really enjoy the special BBq mixed...it's like a pepito without the bread. I usually ask for it with extra garlic and no ketchup or mustard. The special chicken burger was really good as well. You have to try their different sauces and pick your favorite. My top two are the garlic and the guasaca. They're open late, I went once at like 5 in the morning after a night out but I usually go during my lunch break since it's in Brickell. The restaurant is clean, there are a few birds that lurk outside if you choose that option but for the most part I definitely recommend Pepitos plaza to anyone looking for a good bite to eat whether it be a lunch meal or putting something on your stomach after the club.

    Stopped here for a quick bite to eat. They have a little bit of every thing to satisfy that late night craving. Easy to order, then have a seat and wait for your name to be called to pick up your food. Food tasted just right, especially being late night. You can dine indoors or sit out side and the fresh air. If you don't have your card you can pay Apple, Google, or Samsung pay. Nice and simple.

    Pepitos only has 3.5 stars?? Haters gonna hate I guess, but they're missing out. What Brickellite hasn't satiated their drunchies at this fine establishment once or twice? And drunchies or not, who can resist filling up on delicious tequeños at some of the most reasonable prices in the neighborhood? It's a simple order at the counter kinda place with a great selection of Venezuelan arepas, cachapas, empanadas, y más. It's greasy, it's pretty cheap, it's filling, and it's goood. Their tequeños are my fave, esp when dunked in the guava sauce. (I am currently being fought on whether this should read tartar sauce instead - try them both, trust me). Plenty of places to sit inside and out. So pull up a chair and enjoy. Everything nice is getting taken out of brickell for more high rises these days - I hope Pepito's is here 5ever.

    We came in at 2:30 AM and it only took 15 minutes to get our food which was great timing. The guy who took our order was super nice as well. The restaurant was clean and super roomy. I think the owner or maybe a manger kept checking on all the drunk people and gave them water which to me was super sweet of her to do. There way a girl throwing up at the table and she was giving her water and napkins, then she ran outside to take care of another guy who was sick. Sweet older lady was there to help so many so 5/5 stars for service. We ordered the hot dog and fries and a classic hot dog. We were excited to go to this place because it seemed super popular, but I realized it may be popular since it a "drunk night food". The food had a little bit of an odd taste to it; and the sauces were all pretty sour. They did have a ton of sauces available that you could try; and the green spicy one was really good. It isn't something I would go back to for the food, but the service was great. They do have a lot of food options available but it is pretty pricey.

    Once you realize the only proper way to eat any meal here is by dousing it in those savory sauces is the moment you elevated your dining experience. Venezuelan cuisine is built along the same structure of using several key ingredients prepared in different formats to bring some sort of improvisation to fast food. They take their cheese seriously which is an important virtue in life so I respect it. Avocado on everything so you know it's creamy. The crunchy arepa exterior with the grilled meats marinated in onion and garlic pair perfectly with all the mixings they throw into their entrees. They have a daily lunch special that varies and is super filling. Plus, it's only $10 and comes with your choice of beverage so you can't beat that in this neighborhood for a quick and easy lunch without breaking the bank. The menu has so many options that sometimes it's hard to pick what to order but I start off by choosing what cheese I want and then top it with chicken and take it from there. Usually, chicken doesn't excite me but here it's prepared so deliciously that I look forward to those daily bowls they rotate on their specials. The sauces really complete the flavor profile. The Garlic aioli mixed with their cilantro green sauce is the perfect compliment to soak all that arepa goodness into. During the last few bites, I spread some of the pineapple sauce on top for that contrast of flavor that really amplifies the whole dish. Yeah, I wish they had an option of ordering over the phone since it does take a few minutes to receive your order but I wouldn't trade the flavor for convenience. You can't beat this price in this neighborhood for the quality of food they serve in those hefty generous portions they offer.

    If you're looking for a quick bite to eat this is the spot in Brickell. They have Venezuelan cuisine, from arepas to burgers, to different small bites to choose from. Everything is delicious! The service is a little slow for the amount of people that come in. You would expect to get your food faster when there's so much staff working. Although the service is slow, everyone is nice and the food is always fresh and hot when it comes out. Pictured is an arepa with just cheese, that is salty and to pair it with some savory flavor I add pieces of chicharron to it. Overall the restaurant is a laid back scene, not really fancy more casual. I would recommend for everyone to check it out!

    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.

    Apple Maps shows this place is closed on Sunday after 4pm (which is not the case) , so I went to…read moretheir website to look for a different location. 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.

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.
