Crema's Take

This Venezuelan spot in Doral has earned serious devotion for its empanadas, particularly the hard-to-find Empanada de Pabellon and Empanada de Cazón that keep customers coming back. Beyond the standout hand pies, you'll find all the Venezuelan classics—arepas, pepitos, and properly portioned traditional dishes—served quickly by a genuinely friendly staff, making it the ideal grab-and-go lunch destination whether you're fueling up alone or bringing the family.

There are not many places that offers Empanadas de Pabellon, this is one of them, its huge and delicious! Recommend 100%

My favorite empanada de cazón in Miami is right here! The arepa was also good, but I think the strength of this restaurant is definitely the empanadas. Arepa pelua in my opinion might want to improve with a different type of cheese, something more melting. As a second favorite option I suggest cachapas. Passion fruit juice is delicious. Service is wonderful, very friendly.

Was looking for a quick meal to grab when I stopped here starving. This Venezuelan eatery offers all the typical fare you’d expect (at great prices) and even has a couple notable specials like 2 of their Engy Hot Dogs with a fountain soda for only $3.99 after 3p.m. I decided to go for their “You Can’t Eat Just One Empanadita” special to start which includes 3 fried empanadas of your choice and a fountain soda for $3.99. The empanadas were mediocre, nothing special to rave about though I really enjoyed their house sauces served with them which you shouldn’t miss out on! For my entree I decided to get their Steak Pepiarepa $8.99 since I had never seen anything like it before. Their Pepiarepas are fried arepas cut into chunks, cabbage, tomatoes, ham, boiled egg, mustard, ketchup and their house “engy” sauce so kind of like a deconstructed arepa served in a bowl with your choice of protein. I think I would have preferred ordering a normal stuffed arepa to this even though the flavors and combination were somewhat tasty. Some of the ingredients (like the arepa and steak pieces) were over cooked making it chewy and the whole thing taste pretty second-rate. I did come 30 minutes before closing which I usually try to avoid and maybe is why my meal came out just okay. The staff was very friendly and it was an inviting eatery, but I can’t see myself venturing back any time soon.
