REALTOR Octavio Martinez
La Latina is one of Miami’s true gems — a place where both Venezuelans and locals come together over amazing food and genuine hospitality. The flavors are authentic, the quality is always consistent, and every visit feels like coming home.
The menu has all the classics — from crispy tequeños and perfectly filled arepas, to seasonal favorites like hallacas and pan de jamón during the holidays. But one thing that truly stands out are their empanadas de cazón — they’re not only hard to find outside Venezuela, but easily some of the best you’ll ever taste.
The service is exceptional every time. Gustavo is always attentive and friendly, and one of the owners, Alberto, makes it a point to personally greet guests and ensure everyone leaves happy.
If you’re craving authentic Venezuelan comfort food served with heart, La Latina is the spot.

I have traveled to many Latin American place and had a lot of Latin food, but who would have thought the best place was in Miami.
To start with we had a chicken empanada. It was cooked perfectly.
Then we had in my opinion, the best Cachapa I have ever eaten. We had the beef one.
Then we had the Pernil. It was a bowl of shredded beef with rice and plantains. It was amazing.
This was truly a surprise place and I can’t wait to return.

I just want to say I bought the Pan de Jamon today and it was amazing. Very good with plenty of ham inside and the perfect combination of olives and raisins to give it a true traditional flavors. All hats off boys! You hit it out of the park with your Pan de Jamon. I will definitely buy it again.

Delicious Venezuelan food! One of my favorite in Miami. The first couple of times, it was phenomenal; everything was on point, full of flavor, juicy, and crispy. Arepas are everything they need to be, really good stuff! No complaints at all; however, last time (a week ago), it toned down. It was missing flavor and attention to detail, but still better than 75% of Venezuelan restaurants in Miami. I hope it was just a bad day. I am coming back for more!

Staying at a local hotel, my friend and I decided to go for a walk and came across this little restaurant. As it was our first time having Venezuelan food, the gentleman behind the counter explained the menu thoroughly and we decided on the shredded beef & cheese Arepa and the shredded chicken & cheese Arepa with a portion of chips. We were surprised at how good the food was. The flatbreads were filled with plenty of beef and chicken. Portion sizes were just right and priced reasonably, too. With a couple of beers to wash it down, it was perfect. It’s a shame we didn’t find this place earlier. Food and service were spot on. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
