La Prepago Miami Reviews
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Hidden Gem with Heart and Soul This place is an absolute treasure. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the sweetest Venezuelan couple—two true abuelitos who treat every customer like family 🥹 The food was homemade and fresh!! Out of this world. The flavors brought me back to the stuff I know and love from Peru (I know this place is Venezuelan, but the food tasted like something I would eat in my homeland!) It’s rare to find a spot where the food tastes like your abuelita made it. I had the Burguesa which is probably one of the best burgers I’ve EVER had (please make sure you get the pineapple sauce; it’s very good!) the cachapa with guayanes cheese and shredded beef was also EXCELLENT, and finally we had the arepa with beef which also was pretty amazing! Quick/ warm service, the portions are generous, and everything is so reasonably priced! If you live in Kendall or are close by, I definitely recommend it :)
Overall my experience was great. If your into great home-style eats, have time and don’t care for frills and glamour, this place is for you. Delicious quality food, made on the spot. I had a stuffed shredded chicken arepa with cheese. The arepa was freshly made from scratch, and tasted amazing! I also ordered a shredded beef Venezuelan empanada, which at first I thought was a bit flat looking.. but tasted amazing! Stuffed with just the right amount of beef and the flatness help give it a crunch at the edges. We also ordered the tequenos. I had never had tequenos as cheesy as these in Miami. It was a great first time here! I was serviced by two older individuals who I believe are the owners. You can tell they are proud of the quality of their food. And they were very attentive. Because they don’t have the food laying around preheated already, the cooking takes a few, but it’s well worth it if you have the time. If not make sure to call your order ahead.
Delicious, crunchy empanadas with good filling and excellent sauce. The owners are super sweet and welcoming. We ordered empanadas de pabellón y queso and came back for empanadas de Cazón and Tequeños.
I've gone twice to this establishment, and I haven't been disappointed. Today, I ordered a cachapa de mano, which was plentiful in cheese. The cheese was thicker than both sides of the corn dough put together. The establishment is a small mom and pop restaurant, go and support them! The owners are very nice people.
Do yourself a favor and go ! Food is really good ! Everything is really good in this place ! Great service very nice people and the food is the best ! Can’t go wrong with them ! Best empanadas ever and arepa !!! Everything is freshly cooked right here! Will come back to try other plates. I 💯% recommend this place! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
I looking for a place to eat breakfast closed to my house I founded the Laprepago small place but the attention to the customers is very friendly, the food is delicious the empanada is very crunch and fresh. Empanadas Cazon amazing 👏 Pernil amazing 👏 Cheese amazing 👏 Cachapa amazing 👏 The owners a married couple, family business
Amazing food, feels like being back home in colombia. Mom and pop establishment with two loving and caring servers. We had the La Mariachi burger and the Pepito Mixto. Would 100% recommend.
I always had a great meal when I come here they don’t make things in bulk then sell. They make it as it comes in, I’ve had the steak and cheese sandwich which is one of my favorites but the burger, is something I’ll always love. These past few days I’ve had the huevos pericos and the cheese is an important part of the meal and as always a great meal
Probably one of the best special burgers in Miami. Meat of the patty was delish! Very well seasoned, well cooked and not too greasy. It had the right sauces to enhance the flavor. Definitely recommend the cachapa as well. The corn arepa was very sweet and then super cheesy! Definitely come! You will not want to miss out.
Great service! Fast and kind. Tastefull food from several parts of Latin America. Definitely a place to go in the are if you like enjoying Latin Food.
I was craving Venezuelan "soul food" and this place delivered. The menu covers all cravings and the kitchen is literally spotless, super clean, everything is cooked in front of you and friendly people. Very grateful I found them.
The people who work here are so authentic in their character and cooking. Every time I go here it's a great experience, family friendly, and the empanadas are by far the best I've had in Miami.
The BEST place for authentic Venezuelan food! From the melt-in-your-mouth cachapas to the toasty and delicious empanadas! We order their one-of-a-kind hallacas, ensalada de gallina, and pan de jamon every year for the holidays... even the parchita is extra delicious 🤩 With outstanding food, great prices, and exceptionally friendly and quick customer service, this spot is one to frequent!
Very lovely service, the best empanadas and arepas I’ve had in Miami. !
If you want to savor some good Venezuelan arepas, empanadas, pepitos, etc this is the place to come. You will never be disappointed. They go above and beyond to make your food taste like home!!!!
Best colombian/venezuelan hidden gem i’ve eaten at around hammocks. Amazing customer service. I ordered a chachapa rellena with cheese and chicken. Reminded me of the cachapas that my abuela would make me in colombian. 10/10 recommend!
Food was amazing definitely can tell it was cooked with passion. Loved the arpea mixto. Yummy stuff right here. Hidden gem I found in the plaza with my boys after a nice smoke sesh.
Workers were so beyond lovely and the food was amazing! Definitely recommend for a nice lunch.
I love the food, the attention, the hygiene there is not a plate that taste bad here. I sincerely recommend this place to everyone. The mother and her son make the best “Burguesa”.
Great food and service.
Great food I live in Texas and travel to Miami several times a year my trip is not complete unless I stop by this place and get a but to eat. Reminds me of the arepas that my grandmother used to make automatically transporting me back in time. Amazing place.
Amazing cachapas, arepas, and empanadas!! Still ran by the same couple and it’s definitely a must try if you’re in Kendall!
Amazing food!! highly recommend!
Remided me of my childhood 😆 Love the food and excellent service. The arepas are the best in miami!!!The chicha flavor it's amazing and not to tell you about the hotdogs. "The Reina pepia esta pepiiiaaa' " If you are looking for good flavor that reminds you Venezuela this is the place. Made fresh for you to enjoy and love the soup of the day.
Great costumer service! First time there, I purchase patacón and a burger, both were filled with flavor! Definitely I’ll be back, pure and authentic street food ✨❤️ keep it going guys!!!

the food was amazing and super affordable. i got one pepito, which was delicious. also, the owners/ staff were great and really attentive. i’ll be definitely coming back here soon.
Run by the sweetest Venezuelan couple, we had the best chicken and cheese arepas and the steak and egg plate. Some of the best arepas we’ve had, from Miami to San Francisco to New York! 😊 check this place out!
I have been going to this restaurant for years and I can safely say I wouldn’t stop ! Very family oriented, fantastic and friendly owners, and best of all cheap delicious venezuelan/colombian dishes !! Try it out you wont regret it!
Excellent service from a family owned and operated restaurant. I highly recommend it for anyone in the area. Prices are reasonable and the servings are crazy large. You'll absolutely get your money's worth.
This spot never disappoints! The owners are so nice and the food is always incredible! This is my go to spot when I dont know what to eat and want a quick fulfilling meal and is bomb everytime!
If you're in the area, you NEED to eat here!! Everything is made from scratch and correctly. Best tequeños I have ever had! And the owners are so nice and welcoming. Gracias!
Excellent place, if you want to eat a home cooked styled arepa, this is the place!!! Owners are very nice!!!
BEST CHICKEN TACO'S EVER! TRES AMIGO'S!! MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR THE SECRET FIRE HOT SAUCE! IT WILL MAKE YOU SWEAT, AND I HONESTLY THINK THERE'S SOMETHING IN THAT MAKES YOU ADDICTED TO IT!!! LOL I COULD EAT THESE CHICKEN TACOS EVERY DAY!!! SO GOOD!!! ~JOSHUA
Amazing food and great service. The maicito with chicken was amazing. Empanadas and tequenios were also great.
So delicious, you’re missing out if you don’t try this. Also, the owners are awesome. Thank you for the amazing patacones and plátanos fritos! - Gregorio
Loved the food! Delicious Venezuelan food, I’ve tried lots of Venezuelan places & this is the best one! The staff is so friendly & awesome. Thank you so much!
The food at La Prepago is awesome! I had their double-pattie burger and Tequeños and I can’t say enough about how good it was. The staff is very friendly also. I highly recommend this place
Awesome place. Come and enjoy the food its amazing. I had the 4 por 4 burger. It was incredible. The cachapa is rediculous and the tequeños n empanadas to die for.
The food is wonderful, specially the empanadas 😋 (thin, crispy and flavorful) and the owners are the most attentive and kind people you can find. True Venezuelan example of hard work and dedication. Would definitely recommend. Oh and the hallacas are delicious!
Is a simple place with delicious food and great customer service, I would 100% recommend.
Amazing food and even better service! 10/10!
The owners are a nice couple, they are the best. Everything is very good and tasty. Very clean place. A positive recommendation is that I would increase a little the size of the empanadas, they are really good and it could be a great hook to make more people visit the place.
I was there this morning with my wife and have tried the best authentic Colombian breakfast, it was so delicious and made to perfection! Service was superb!
This place is amazing. The owners are so warm and friendly. It’s like eating at your moms house. The food was spectacular. The best Reina Pepiada in all of Miami. Fresh and delicious. And the empanada was very crisp and delicious as well. Eliza is so lovely Do yourself a favor a try this place out. A perfect 10.
Stay going for the burguesa almost daily! With a fried egg, it's one of the best burgers in Miami. Decent size with a good price! Owners are very kind people as well. Try it out! You won't regret it!
When I arrived,it was literally at 9 am. The owners greeted me with the most kindness hello. Placed my order. They made my Cahapas (which were amazing). I asked for some Verde sauce, and she said it won't need it. I said I trust you know what you are saying." She was right. The flavor was so good. It's a must go back.
By far one of my favorite places to get arepas! I love the couple that owns it, they are always so kind and welcoming. It is almost like walking into their kitchen rather than a restaurant, they are truly there to serve and welcome you. I’ve tried so many different things per their suggestion and I’ve never been disappointed! I love coming here ❤️
I LOVE this place. My boyfriend and I have probably eaten here more than 20 times. Pabellón empanadas are delicious. The customer service is excellent and they are very attentive to you. I would recommend this place to anyone that really enjoys good food. Can’t wait to go again 😍
Best Venezuelans empanadas and tequenos I’ve ever had tried in Miami!
Amazing food! Awesome experience!! Great quality and service ❤️
Best empanada ever! Crispy tasty and flavored
Delicious food made with care and the menu here has a lot of variety. The environment was very clean and the workers were extremely friendly and sweet 👍
The food from my country that I’ve had since I got to the U.S. is incredible. Nothing beats the taste of home!
The Food was simply to die for! BEST tequenos, arepa, salchipapas, burgers in Kendall period!!!!! Is my new to go place. Did I mention they do everything homemade and it’s simply amazing. The service top notch sweatest couple and the sauces also homemade next level! Did I mentioned BEST already.!! If you haven’t check this place out please do!! I know I won’t stop going. Thank you again for your service today it was a pleasure meeting you.
First time ever going to this place. Looked up a place to eat and it posed up. So incredibly glad I went. The food was amazing, the ambiance was even better. The owners took their time to explain and make their recommendations (which were exactly what we wanted). Loved loved loved the place
This place is amazing. Their food is made fresh everything that they serve is a five star dish. They have the two mandatory sauces!
This place is amazing! Not only is the food delicious but the customer service is excellent, it exceeded my expectations. I’ve recommended this place to every single one of my family members. It’s family owned and made me feel so welcomed and especially safe during these tough times. Must try their Pepito Mixto, mouth watering.
Que guao Demasiado rico I drove all the way here from cutler bay because we wanted real good arepas and omg, this place was so worth the drive! We will be coming back once a month at least
I am absolutely AMAZED with the service I just received. I had a problem with my order and not only did was the gentelman courteous and polite but went above and beyond to make it right. It seems like great food and great service is lost amongst so many restaurants and small businesses in this day and age. This was such a wonderful reminder of how there is still a need for such small courtesies. Thank you so much for valuing me as a customer. You have made me a lifelong patron of your establishment.
Amazing food! Was never a fan of Venezuelan food before this place but now I know what excellent Venezuelan food is supposed to taste like. Also really friendly staff and very accommodative. I have not enjoyed Venezuelan food more my life.
Amazing food! And great service! Definitely the spot I will be coming back The server was super nice and easy to talk to, the prices are super convenient for the amount of food. Would definitely recommend to my friends and family.
Best Venezuelan spot in kendall! The food is extremely fresh and authentic. I felt like I was eating my grandma’s food. The Cheese empanadas are a must.
This place has authentic venezuelan food super delicious and made on the spot. The people radiate a close homestyle like ambience so it makes you want to come back for more. 10/10 recommend :)
Very cozy restaurant where the owners were super sweet and welcoming and make you feel at home. We ate a cachapa and arepa rellena, which were both super fresh and made from scratch. Honestly one of the best we've had. The tequeños were also delicious. Definitely recommend
The food is excellent in this place. I had the mixed Patacon with shredded beef and chicken. OMG, off the charts. 🤤
Great service and even better food. Very friendly and welcoming. Food was fresh and mad very quickly.
I was looking for something different to eat and found this restaurant near me. The food was amazing! Fresh ingredients prepared right there. I did have to wait a little but boy was it worth it!!! I had a Reina pepiada and it was absolutely delicious!!! I am going back next Sunday to try something different! The owners were very sweet! I highly recommend this restaurant! They definitely have a new customer!!!!
This was my first time visiting the restaurant. I was pleasantly greeted by the owners, who were both so kind and helpful. I ordered the maicito inside of the quesadilla, HIGHLY recommend. It was extremely flavorful and filling. Definitely will be returning to try out the cachapa. So many food options and everything is made in house!
Really amazing food! The cazon empanadas were crunchy yet soft inside. The cazon was delicate and flavorful and unique because not many places have this type of empanada. The chupe de pollo was creamy and full of chicken and veggies which gave an added taste. The picture is a to go order and I will definitely come back! Thank youuu
AMAZING food no other way to put it. I was craving arepas and found this one not too far from home. We got a chicken, and a steak arepa, as well as Colombian empanadas. Amazing! We ordered it to pickup through grubhub. When I went to pick it up the owners were there. Super friendly and welcoming. Will be back very soon. Muchas Gracias!! :)
The flavor and customer service at La Prepago is outstanding. Great value for the food which has an authentic latin flavor. Todo riquisimo, highly recommended. Rating A++
We have been coming here for years! The owners are amazing people and i recommend everyone to come here and enjoy an empanada!!
Not only was the food absolutely incredible, but the experience was beautiful. The people who run the restaurant were so lovely and welcoming I felt like I walked back into my grandmas house. If I could give it 100 stars I would. Can’t stop smiling they were so wonderful.
Absolutely love this place. It's owned by the sweetest husband and wife team. The food is always so fresh and tasty and made to order in front of you. The restaurant is immaculately clean, right down to the restrooms. Prices are reasonable and portions are a good size. If you want to support your local community, you definitely have to try them out, so delicious 😋
Absolutely amazing experience! The empanadas and hot dogs were incredible, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying. You can tell they put real care into their food. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was so kind, attentive, and genuinely wanted to make sure we had the best experience possible. It’s rare to find a place where you feel this welcomed and leave this happy. Can’t wait to come back!
A hidden gem. Seating is small but the food was amazing. Everything was fresh. The best Venezuelan empanadas I’ve eaten. Will definitely be back.
This was a very lovely experience. La Prepago is a mom & pop authentic Venezuelan cuisine spot. We tried the arepa with chicken and carne asada. It was the best arepa I have had and freshly made too. The owners remind me of my grandparents and are very sweet & welcoming. The price is also very reasonable. Highly recommend.
Laprepa-Go is an amazing family-owned restaurant with truly authentic food! You can taste the love and tradition in every bite. The flavors are fresh, the portions are generous, and the service makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend supporting this great local spot!
Patacones were amazing, I still think about the first bite it was so amazing and flavorful. Will be back if I’m ever in Miami. Service was so friendly and amazing.
Súper recomendado, Guillermo y Elisa son los dueños y ellos mismos te atienden, el sabor de la comida espectacular se nota que está hecho con amor! Seguramente volvería otra vez
Por fin encontré empanadas y cachaba de venezuela y la salsa de ajo excelente me sentí en mi país gracias por tanta dedicación al cliente te los felicito
Primera vez que verdaderamente me siento en Venezuela estando en Miami, con el calor de nuestra gente que es único en el mundo. Excelente servicio y comida. Probamos los exquisitos tequeños, patacones, empanadas, perros calientes y el jugo de mango en leche.
Sin más ni menos. Las mejores empanadas que probe en Estados Unidos. Tienen un sistema de marcado que no solo es muy práctico sino que a mis hijos les encanta y es parte de la experiencia, saber que relleno tiene cada empanda. Atendido por sus propios dueños, quienes realmente saben como hacer que los clientes quieran volver. Siempre terminamos con una charla amena. Gracias por traer los verdaderos sabores de Venezuela a Miami!
Todo extremadamente rico. Las empanadas crujientes y la hamburguesa y arepa bien rellenas. Guillermo y Eliza fueron muy amables y atentos. 10/10 Definitivamente vuelvo pronto !!
first time here owners are very kind and good service. food is fantastic but portions are on the smaller side than what you pay for. price is ok but if i got more for my buck id prob come more often. if you want to try something new I recommend it.
The food is good here, not quite sure what style to call it though. Latin American/Colombian/Fusion/Small Plates? From burgers to dogs to burritos to ceviche, empanadas, arepas and tacos: they're all here, but with a twist. Finger lickin good! Perfect for late night munchies or anytime really. Good to go with friends who will share because you'll want to have a little taste of everything!! Some dishes are served on a green banana patacon (NOT plaintain), which is a more delicate taste and crunchier texture. The Techno music and red mood lighting are part of the vibe, modern and eclectic. The service is warm and friendly and willing to answer questions about the menu. They have to be, it's pretty unique! Definitely worth a try, good stuff!!
Best empanadas I’ve ever had, a must try. The service was amazing also.
I went to pick up a burger and the woman owner decided to comment on the elections. She then continued to state racial comments about republicans. Stating Cuban’s are all on food stamps and crime is high due to them. Needless to say, I will not be returning here when I return to Miami. I understand different political views. However, it is unprofessional to bring up politics to someone you don’t know.
I loved the food here, but these people are very rude! i had mentioned to please put gloves on & they refused to wear gloves & swore to me that their hands were cleaned, after they touched money & other things. & now I am PROHIBITED to buy food from them. it’s very ridiculous. they need new owners one who knows restaurant policies & doesn't get upset about something they should’ve been doing, ESPECIALLY in a pandemic. if they get new owners im coming back. very ridiculous.
I'm sorry to say this place was a disappointment. We decided to go there since it had so many reviews but to be quiet honest, food is OVERPRICED.... Starting with Salchipapas... $9 for fries and 1 small hotdog, barely any served. Also ordered the Burgesa for $9 as well, the slice of tomato was thicker than the meat patty, which was lost inside the bun. Apparently the owners are the old couple working there, I truly appreciate that, I admire them, both were nice but to be quite honest, for what they charge, the food served should be better.
The experience was terrible. It was my first time and I won't be back. They're extremely thin, with almost no filling, very expensive for what little filling there is, they don't come with sauces like any Venezuelan one, they're greasy, and they don't even have napkins, which are made of very poor quality. I would never recommend them.
