Pepito's Plaza - Doral

This used to be my go to spot when in Florida but I feel like the prices have gone up and the portions have gotten smaller. It's a nice spot though and staff is always friendly so maybe I'll try them again. In my opinion, arepa.bar in wynwood may be better.

I rarely do reviews but I 'm so upset with my experience yesterday that I have to share it with others. First off, the staff is/was great! Not a single issue with that. They were friendly, welcoming, and worked quickly. Second of all, I ordered the BBQ Special which is the #12 also known as the Doralzuela BBQ . It claims to be for two people. I ordered it for my dad and I to split while we saw a soccer game. I was looking forward to it because I usually get these type of platters/meals at food trucks in Miami and they rarely disappoint. After paying $27 (which is roughly $5 to $10 more than what I have paid at other spots), I expect a fairly large and heavy container holding all the food. But NOPE. I got a small little slim container that would fit a large hot dog with the meats in it. As Stephen A. Smith from ESPN would say, We 've been hoodwinked, bamboozled, lead astray, run amok and flat out deceived! . I 'm not one to bring the food back and complain or try to get my money back. Money comes and goes. But my time was surely wasted. The food was def NOT for two people. The meats were bland. It was also pretty damn salty. For $27 I would have had a field day elsewhere. Third, and last of all, I bought my friend a cheeseburger myself a hot dog aside from that bbq platter . The hot dog was ate in about 4 bites, and was lacking any flavor. My friend 's cheeseburger was alright, but not worth $9. Might as well have hit the drive through of a corporate fast food chain. I have attached photos of: 1) The deceiving meat platter. 2) Menu 3) Menu (continued) 4) My receipt to show the ridiculous cost of the items, since they 're not shown on the large menu on the outside wall. Here are final pieces of advice to you: If you want food of good taste, go elsewhere. If you want food that actually costs its worth, go elsewhere. If you want to get a platter of meats, PLEASE go elsewhere. So in essence, if you want to save your TIME MONEY, go elsewhere.

A Doral must for Venezuelan food which is surprisingly good quality food and awesome service. Expect a long wait as lines are always long here. They do offer the option to order ahead.

For neighborhood patrons, this place is a ' no brainer '. However, it is unusual to think of a gas station as a place of destination for great food (take-out or outdoor seating . Although this type of food falls into the 'ethnic ' category (i.e., Venezuelan , the variety of dishes (burgers, dogs, areas, etc., , as well as the flavor, will satisfy any food adventurer. If visiting Doral in Miami, take time to come to this place, you 'll thank me later

A nice location where you can hang out with friends or family, food is definitely enjoyable and above average, a bit pricier than would be expected for the quantity is my only gripe, well worth a stop if you're looking for some local hot food, relatively quickly.
