Terrible Service. Irrespectfull owners.
Pésima atención si es que se puede llamar atención. Pedí unas arepas y me las trajeron con mayonesa (salsa que no aparece en ningun lado en el menu) Solicite amablemente el cambio y me han traido las mismas arepas solo que le sacaron el relleno y con un cuchillo o servilleta (vaya usted a saber) pretendieron quitarle la mayonesa. Cuando me percato de esto dije que queria el dinero de mis dos arepas porque no me las llevaba. No se puede pretender estafar a las personas, pretender engañarlas como a un niño quitandole el exceso como que no me iba a dar cuenta.
Cuando converso con LA DUEÑA, se puso de tu a tu, faltandome el respeto.
Fue una situacion extremandamente incomoda.
Les sugiero un curso intensivo de servicio al cliente, respeto por el otro y aceptación de devoluciones si algo no se ha pedido.

Amazing food, wonderful friendly staff and decently priced. I cloud not have ask for more.
My friends and I had brunch here, it’s 4:00pm as I am typing this review and we are still stuffed.

Las empanadas son buenísimas, casi igual que comerte una empanada en venezuela, el único problema es que son muy lentos y casi nunca tienen empanadas listas, hay que esperar que las hagan.
Si vienen a comer empanadas aquí vengan sin prisa.

This place is under new administration. Way better than before. Try an «empanada operada» or as we call it an «operada» they are great. But all «empanadas» are good here. Also they have great soups and a good «pabellon». Thanks

The best empanadas ever. You should try the carne mechada one, the popular chicha and tequeños with tartara sauce, also the people is very kind. 100% good

Muy buena la comida, mis favoritas la empanada de queso y carne mechada, las arepas también son buenísimas. La atención fue excelente, atentos y amables.

The best «empanadas» in Doral!!! The service is great and the «chicha» in unbelievable good!!! We will come back for sure!!!
Las mejores empanadas del doral! Son deliciosas!!! La atención es excelente (nueva gerencia) y la chicha es del mas allá!! Seguro vamos a volver!!!

El servicio es horrible. Habia solo do clientes en el lugar y olvidaron hacer mi orden, estando sentado alli frente a ellos, ni siquiera una disculpa me ofrecieron. Parecia que el culpable era yo. No vuelvo.

They were very friendly especially the main cook. The arepa was delicious — baked arepa with ham and white grated cheese. Just like my Venezuelan family members prepare the arepa. The empanadas looked good thought it was fried. We would return.

I only go here for the empanada de pabellon, I always call before picking up! It’s so delicious you won’t regret it! I don’t mind driving over for that empanada! Totally recommended it

No pierdo mi dinero y mi tiempo en ese sitio más nunca. Llegamos a la 1:30 pm para almorzar, no habia si no una persona en el local, pedimos dos chupes de pollo y no habia, luego pedi una reina pepeada y tampoco habia, pedi un jugo de parchita y tampoco habia!!! Las empanadas de buen tamaño son embargo estaban muy grasosas. Lo unico bueno son las cachapas con queso, de resto un fraude total. primera y última vez que voy a este lugar. La persona que nos atendió fue educada y trató de ser amable. Me arrepiento de no haberme ido cuando me dijeron que no habia nada de lo que pedí. Las empanadas grasosas nos cayeron mal

does not have good vegetarian options.

The empanadas are really really reeeeally good… However, they are very pricy. I can get an empanada just across the street at La Pergola for 2.50 and here they are charging around 3.15 for a basic empanada. They have increased the prices about 5 times already. I mean, I know they have to make money, but I think it is too much for an empanada. The portions of the other dishes are not that big either for the price. At least everything is tasty :)

Came here while in town for business. Drove twenty minutes from my hotel and the place was closed at 7:25 despite this site stating they were open until eight. Disappointing.

This was great loved both the empanadas and arepas! The service was not the fastest but they were so nice. By the way it is called «La Dona de la Empanadas». It’s worth a trip if you are in Miami.

First– it’s a small place in a strip center and I had several choices for dinner. You place your order at the counter and then pick it up. I ordered the ground bees empanada. After all, I came for the empanadas. When I tried to order an arepa, I was told the empanada was very big. It was. I love fried food and what is not? This was good! A little oily but good. After all, fat makes food taste good. The juice selection was wonderful. The spicy sauce and garlic sauce a great combination.
The ambiance with the lighting was cheap looking but what the heck? I got a great dinner for less than $ 8!
For what it is — it’s great. Not date night great but good inexpensive food great.

Great empanadas… Feels like Venezuela in there and perfect before going to the beach! A little more greasy than what i prefer… But never disapoints.

Delicious empanadas!!! By far the best I’ve had … try the Pabellon or the chicken, avocodo and cheese one. Their breakfast menu looks pretty good too but I have yet to try it.

Super delicious empanadas with a really amazing, unexpectedly diffferent crust. These empanadas are HUGE! Two empanadas make for a filling meal. The dough is a very different type of dough like nothing I’ve never had. Soft inside and crispy outside. I had the panela de empanada de platano y queso. It was slightly sweet, salty, and just plain yummy! I The downside is that the empanadas were definitely greasy, but luckily it didn’t compromise the crispiness. I also tried the empanada de carne mechada which was also really yummy. The marinade was super flavorful and also had a nice sweet/​salty thing going on.
I would definitely recommend going to try this place. It’s worth the drive, which was actually surprisingly pleasant. This part of Doral is like falling off of the face of the planet, lol – cows, gigantic houses, etc, lol. I highly recommend trying the Pannela drink, which is made from panela/​piloncillo, lime, and water. It tastes like a really delicious sweet tea.

Delicious Venezuelan-​style empanadas, the best Venezuelan empanadas in Miami.

Place is pretty good, empanadas are huge and nice filling along with the spicy sauce, crust could be a bit crispier and less greasy. As far as arepas-​huge once again but nothing like teh Colombian ones. The cheese was shreeded and both yellow and white and arepa was sort of crumby. Ive had better.

I love this place. I grew up in Venezuela and always have a craving for Venezuelan style arepas and this place is awesome. Aside from their cachapas, arepas, and empanadas, I haven’t had any of their other food, but those three items are super tasty… especially their empanadas :) Try it out!

Being born and raised in Mexico I didnt have too much exposure to Latinamerican food other than Argentinean, but when I arrived to Miami I really began to explore the different flavors from Central and Soouth America and of the things that I found the most amazing was how we are so interconnected and how food in some ways are so similar, so my loved with the underworld of fried food from (specially Colombia and Venezuela) began. And then, then somebody took me to this strip mall hole in the wall, with the MOST AMAZING Venezuelan empanadas in the world, why I loved them so much, well, first of all any food that is fried… tastes good, but secondly because this fried Venezuelan empanadas remindend me so much Mexican REAL quesadillas, not the cheddar flour tortillas you order at Chilis, you cant really find them here in Miami, and they are practically the same, fried corn dough with a sort of stuffing. So make your self a favor, and stop eating those burgers or fried chicken as a comfort food, give this hidden gem a try.
I really recommend the one with beef and cheese, and the best one; the one with plantains. And dont forget to have an Agua de Panela instead of a coke, its basically Limeade.

I’m from Venezuela, and I live in Doral… where of course you’ll find so many places where they serve Empanadas and arepas, but this place is the best. Empanadas here are so crispy and delicious, made to order, they have great combinations. My favorite are the sweet plantains with cheese (I love the taste of sweet and salty), and my second favorite is the Pabellon one, it has sheared meat, black beans and sweet plantains, it may sound weird, but is sooooo delicious!!,. They cost approx. $ 5 depending on the type of empanada you get, but one will fill you up. Also they serve authentic Venezuelan breakfast, drinks, and a variety of products. The place is nicely decorated, I always enjoy going there. try it you’ll love it.

Omg!!! So I was planning to grocery shop at the Sedanos in this shopping center when I saw the sign «La Reina De las Empanadas». So I thought it was columbian at first but then when I walked in I asked and they said they were from Venesuela. I saw the chart with a variety of empanadas… I asked for the most popular which the lady said carne mechada… Hay Dios Mio… I got the carne mechada combined with cheese… Like 5 minutes later there it was a BIG Crsipy EMPANADA ESPECIAL… along with a bottle of hot sauce and a cream-​green– like sauce… Then I don’t know what hit me after a bite… It was like HEAVEN ON EARTH… hummmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy!
