Doggi's Arepa Bar in Florida

"patacon with chicken, avocado, lettuce, and tomato was refreshing and tasty. asado negro was interesting. it tasted like juicy jerky. chicharon was a little bit gamey. price is on the higher end for an arepa shop."

"The food and the service were phenomenal! Gabriela provided great service! Can’t wait to come back again!"

"This restaurant is a true gem! The food tastes just like home-cooked Venezuelan dishes — full of flavor, generous portions, and beautifully presented. The arepas were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the pabellón criollo was delicious and authentic. The staff was welcoming and made us feel right at home. If you want a real taste of Venezuela, this is the spot. Highly recommend!"

"Doggis is a must stop for me when I’m visiting Miami! The food holds its authentic flavors and the staff is always so amazing. Gabriela and Ricardo went above and beyond to make sure my experience was nothing less than perfect! Make sure you have an arepa!"

"I used to order from Doggi’s all the time when I worked in Brickell, but I’d never actually dined in. 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."

"Amazing experience at Doggis Restaurant! The food tasted incredible as always, and the atmosphere was great with good music and really nice vibes. Kevin, Arianna, and Gabriela were amazing — super attentive and friendly throughout the whole visit. Gabriela also recommended the best desserts, and they were absolutely delicious."

"Our first Venezuelan restaurant & we fell in ... Everything was exceptional."

"I never had a aprepas before, so I’m glad my first experience was Doggie’s!!! Food was delicious, especially the pepino mixto! Gabriela, Arianny, And Javier gave awesome recommendations and great service!"
