La Latina

La Latina is one of Miami’s true gems — a place where both Venezuelans and locals come together over amazing food and genuine hospitality. The flavors are authentic, the quality is always consistent, and every visit feels like coming home. The menu has all the classics — from crispy tequeños and perfectly filled arepas, to seasonal favorites like hallacas and pan de jamón during the holidays. But one thing that truly stands out are their empanadas de cazón — they’re not only hard to find outside Venezuela, but easily some of the best you’ll ever taste. The service is exceptional every time. Gustavo is always attentive and friendly, and one of the owners, Alberto, makes it a point to personally greet guests and ensure everyone leaves happy.

The food was very good. Perfect portion for lunch. I ordered the pulled chicken with rice, black beans and plantains. I would definitely order this again.

Authentic Venezuelan food!!!! Cooked with love and soooooo flavorful. Made me feel like home. Super friendly and welcoming service and UNBELIVEABLE FOOD. This place is a hidden GEM!

I have traveled to many Latin American place and had a lot of Latin food, but who would have thought the best place was in Miami. To start with we had a chicken empanada. It was cooked perfectly. Then we had in my opinion, the best Cachapa I have ever eaten. We had the beef one. Then we had the Pernil. It was a bowl of shredded beef with rice and plantains. It was amazing. This was truly a surprise place and I can’t wait to return.

Every time I come here, I feel like I am walking into my aunties living room. The food is always on point, the warmth of the lights, the friendliness of the employees… Daniela… she is lovely. I had the hungry post arepa, and a Chupe… which is this AMAZING YUMMY SOUP 🍜 Simply a warm fuzzy food hug 🤤
