El Arepazo Doral is a delicious find the arepas are flavorful, generous, and remind me of authentic Venezuelan comfort food. I love how close it is to FIU, which makes it a perfect stop for a quick, hearty meal after class or work. Friendly service and great value too. I’ll definitely be back!

At around 7:15 pm I took my two sons to this restaurant. I ordered 3 arepas with chicken, food was ok, but one of my sons found a sharp piece of plastic in his food. He showed it to me and then I proceeded to show the person at the register and gave the piece of plastic. After that my son refused to eat his food, they apologized for it but imagine if my son would have eaten the piece of plastic. He could’ve gotten cut very badly in his mouth and worse if he swallowed it. I was very upset.
They didn’t offer a reimbursement.

First time @ el arepazo …what a disappointment food was cold asked them to warm and they served again cold. Finally asked them to put food in microwave but I realized that the food is bad. And warming up doesn’t make it better, my friend had a Reina pepiada arepa and the chicken tasted funny. Bad quality not worth it

Authentic Venezuelan spot which offers traditional Venezuelan dishes. Today I had a pabellon and a tres leches everything was really good, the meat had that characteristic taste that differentiates our dish from the rest. The tres leches was also very good tasted like if it was home made. Overall great place to eat since the prices are also decent. Keep up the good work!

They staff was friendly and the food descent. But cachapa missing a bit of grated chesse and sauce on top…. taste was good still.

Quality has dropped over the years! This once iconic Venezuelan restaurant has dropped in quality over the years. 20 years ago they would make you the cachapas and arepas from scratch, now they use pre made and prepackaged cachapas and arepas. About the only reason I give it a 2 star, is because the staff is always great!

One of a few Venezuelan places I’ve eaten at in Doral. The first time I went during the day the younger ladies working were very friendly. The tequenos were very good. My friends liked the pabellon criollo as well. Everything was well seasoned. I went again at night and the service was sub-par. Mainly the older woman working the register being rude , but whatever.

My arepas were retosted and burned, so I would not recommend this place. Don’t let the reviews fool you. The quality overall is not good.

Questions were asked before purchase & was misled.
1 cook used gloves but the other cook coughed in his hand then handled food with no gloves.
Some meat looked dry & old. Place did not feel clean.

It is not easy to find a good Venezuelan restaurant in Florida with true Venezuelan flavors. In this restaurant, you can find the most common Venezuela dishes.
Parking: The restaurant is located at a gas station, the parking lot is free but it is small.
Service: The staff was attentive and cordial. It has no waiter, you order and wait for the food.
Food quality: It is a true Venezuelan food (I know because I am Venezuelan). Portions are large. You will find the famous empanadas that can be stuffed with meat/chicken/cheese /cazon (type of fish), cachapas (it is a corn dough stuffed with cheese), arepas (Options: Yellow Cheese, Ham, Hand Cheese, Pernil or Grated White Cheese), tequeños, patacón, and pepitos (this is my boyfriend’s favorite). Then you have different lunch options (a combination of meat, chicken, rice, pasta, and among others). We order cheese empanada (I love it), cachapa with guayanes cheese, and a pabellón criollo (one of the typical Venezuelan dishes. Rice, banana slices, meatloaf, and black beans).
Price: Prices are standard (you have to consider the fact that you are in Miami and everything there is more expensive compared to another part of Florida). We ordered 3 courses for $22.
Atmosphere: The restaurant is quite simple, it is large and spacious, it has enough tables and a bathroom, but do not expect something extraordinary.
Recommendation: If you have never tried Venezuelan food, I recommend typical dishes such as pabellón, patacón, arepa, empanada, cachapa, and tequeños.
