Venezuelan Restaurants near Key Biscayne, FL

“Stopped in for lunch this past week and placed a take out order for the pulled beef plate and a couple Argentinian arepas. I didn't catch it in time, but I had ordered one beef and one chicken arepa, but what was provided were two chicken. Overall still good and not a huge issue. The pulled beef plate came with soup and some black beans and rice. The meal had really nice flavors and the portion was plenty for sharing--especially since we'd gotten the two arepas too. We got a feel for the ambiance while we waited, and it feels light and airy with bright colors. Not a ton of seating (which is why we elected to do takeout), but for small groups this would be a nice spot to come grab a coffee, sandwich and do a little work. Overall we enjoyed the experience and would probably come back again.“

“Daniela is a very good waitress, always on order and eager to work. They should leave her there for life. A great experience. Don't let her go, she's very good!! Excellent service. I am Puerto Rican and between the food and their good treatment it made me feel at home.??????????“

“Camila is super nice and quick to help. All the people at the front and friendly and great with any requests. The empanadas are to die for. I’ve never had better. The Pabellón and Apollo con Queso empanadas are my go to’s. 10/10 recommend.“

“Normally, even if we like the food, we don't leave a Revew due to lack of time or whatever, but it really matters because when we want to find a good restaurant we look at that and I have to tell you that this has been an incredible experience, the food was excellent and I recommend the special treatment“

“Good arepas! No complaints. It’s a bit of a hole in the wall, no frills. The baskets are kind of annoying to eat out of. We liked our food. I got the beef, avocado and cheese one. My husband made his own to make it vegan. I believe he went with plantains and avocado and beans. As always, would be nice if they had more vegan options, like their sauce. But we would return. The arepas are of course gluten free.“

“Great little traditional Venezuelan ??food spot. Most if not all of the typical dishes are served.Try the tequeños to start and then get a main dish. Whether it’s a cachapa or an arepa or a patacon.The portions are plentiful for the main dishes and some can even be shared depending on how hungry you are.Finish it off with a slice of marquesa de chocolate ?The service is always great and it helps that the place is small so staff is always around.The tables are a bit small so don’t come get with a big group since it’s a bit uncomfortable.Highly recommended and this place always hits the spot! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Vegetarian options: Not entirely sure but I think there might be a dish or two that are vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Limited options for picky eaters since although the menu is big many of the dishes are similar.Parking: Parking is a hit or miss depending on the time of the day. There’s additional street parking in the back.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly restaurant but very small so it’s also not recommended for large groups or kids who need special seating.Wheelchair accessibility: Very limited access since the place is small and tight.“

“This was my first time trying Venezuelan food and it was delicious. Generous portions, fair prices, well run, amazing service. Good energy, music and ambiance- it was a vibe. I live in the area, it’s quickly evolving. Come support this small business, the ‘arepa con queso y carne’ won’t disappoint..“

“My fiance and I had a day to spend in Miami, and he really wanted to try some authentic food. We found this place on Yelp and we were sold on coming! It's a cute little spot with sooo many baked goods. We came from lunch and shared an empanada which was stuffed to the brim and was delicious. He also loves tequenos so we had to get a few. They were huge and were so good. The sauces were to die for!! We also got this corn cake stuffed with cheeses and it was sooo good. The staff were so friendly and gave us great suggestions. Overall we were very impressed!“

“All very rich. I always order takeout for breakfast at work. Sometimes they are a little distracted when it comes to serving but nothing out of this world... oh and I ordered 4 cheese cakes with potatoes and they gave me tequeños... they were still delicious.“

“This is a family owned local business and I was so happy to go eat & support it! They were super nice and happy and the food is amazing !!! It’s not a big fancy place but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t amazing. I got an arepa & pan de bono and fresh squeezed orange juice and it was just amazing: highly recommend this place !!!“

“One big test for me when it comes to something like an empeñada is the dough itself. It’s a lot easier to get the filling right than it is the dough. The great news is The Pana nails them both. The dough is light, flakey, and buttery but not greasy. I tried the beef, chicken, spinach and cheese, and guava and cheese. Not only were they all really good but they all had a unique flavor profile beyond the basic ingredients. I’ll definitely be going back and if you haven’t been do yourself a favor and go!“

“Tremendous empanadas, they make them in theMoment in front of you, they don't deny you anything, I bought cheese and each empanada weighed about half a kilo. Excellent.In 5 years in Miami, the best Venezuelan empanadas I have ever eaten.“

“I unintentionally stumbled upon this gem, and I am glad I did. They had a steak and fries special for the day with salad, and it was amazing. I could have eaten two servings. The staff was kind, attentive, and helpful. The ambiance was quaint and simple, it felt peaceful to eat here. I would recommend taking a swing by to try the food and enjoy the experience.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options and vegan dessert option. I had the dessert, also delicious.“

“I always have a great experience with their food. My favorite is the pollo lover arepa with fries. Their desserts are amazing also!! I dined at their location on 36 street (close to the Sunoco gas station) and it’s always just as good to have delivered as well!!Kid-friendliness: Nice size restaurant that can hold families dining in. Also food options that kids would like as well“

“When the cravings kick in and the hunger bites we often head off to Budare Bistro. This time we were trying to behave and we chose grilled chicken salad and the plate of the day; grilled chicken with sweet plantain and salad. Both options delicious. Of course when the very nice waitress tempted us with a dessert we caved and had a pavlova with dulce de leche in a jar. Totally worth the calories. We really like this local spot. The tequenos delicious fyi. Love it though when they had a few chairs, tables and umbrellas outside.“

“First time going to this place. It is a small place but next to it has a store with several snacks and products from Venezuela, definitely check it out. The Customer service was very good, fast and friendly. My family and I enjoyed the food and drinks. Definitely have to go back and try another dish.“

“If you're in search of delicious Venezuelan food to take on the go, this place is an absolute gem. My mom and I stopped by to grab some beef and cheese empanadas to enjoy at the beach, and it turned out to be the perfect choice for the occasion.The empanadas were a delightful surprise. They were incredibly fresh, and the fillings were bursting with flavor. It's evident that the ingredients used were of high quality, and the attention to detail in the preparation shone through in every bite.While the empanadas may be a bit on the pricey side, they make up for it in size. They are substantial enough to keep you satisfied, making them a worthwhile treat. The staff was friendly but the place itself is very small so I would recommend this place for a to-go occasion.“
