My friend and I wanted an authentic coffee shop while visiting Miami and saw this place's great Google reviews. We at first ordered some coffee and small dishes to go but the daily afternoon rain storm :) picked up. Kimberly made us right at home with a table under their covered patio and amazing customer service from her and all the staff. The food and coffee were so worth it! But the best part was hearing the staff talk to all their friends and regulars as this is obviously a popular neighborhood family spot!

Miami’s downtown 🌇 area is the hood for you to adventure yourself in local Miami cultural flavors like the one offered by El Sitio, or in English, The Spot, which probably is literally “The Place” to eat if you are looking for comfy 🇻🇪Venezuelan traditional food that will satisfy your appetite, as well your budget. The service is quick and warmly set up by the team, especially when it is led by one of its charismatic waiters. I ordered the “Catira” 👱‍♀️arepa which mixes chicken and yellow shredded cheese, and the filling was pretty consistent, as well as the chicken was freshly prepared. My friends opted for a Pabellón Arepa which consists of sweet fried 🍌plantain, 🫘beans, and pulled-seasoned 🥩 meat. Pabellón is the Venezuelan national and traditional lunch dish, and basically, this arepa is stuffed with all of it in a single take, so imagine its heavy structure. Even though the fillings were very generous, the toast of the arepa🫓 wasn’t enough, actually, it was very soft and kind of tasteless in the corn wheat mix, if they grilled the outside, it could actually result in an authentic arepa experience. My other friend went for a cachapa which is a sweet corn-based pancake🥞 topped with Venezuelan Guayanes cheese. The Guyanese cheese is the best of a cachapa, because it melts in its buttery layer crepe loaft. This version also includes meat as a topping, which makes it even more of a complete option for you to crave a Venezuelan tasty snap. Overall the portions are huge and considering the price, it is one of Miami’s most affordable places where the three famous Venezuelan “B” characteristics are accomplished, ✔️Bueno, Bonito 😚, Barato 🪙

We had an amazing experience at this Venezuelan restaurant! The chicken Pepito was absolutely delicious, so flavorful, authentic, and perfectly made. We also tried the empanadas de pabellón, and they were just incredible. Our server, Santiago, was super nice, attentive, and very helpful, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for authentic Venezuelan food and great service, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Had a great breakfast at El Sitio! The coffee was rich and flavorful, and the breakfast hit the spot. Our waitress, Luisa, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and gave us great suggestions. She really made the experience even better. Left feeling full and very satisfied. Highly recommend!
