Best Arepas in Miami (2026): 12 Spots Ranked by Google Rating

The best arepas in Miami depend on what you measure. On this list, the top Google rating is a 5.0: Arepera Tico Tico North at 436 NW 79th St, with 357 reviews. Two addresses follow at 4.9: Doggi's Arepa Bar at 250 NW 24th St, with 1,594 reviews, and Arepera Tico Tico Edgewater at 1640 NE 1st Ct, with 904. By volume, the Doggi's Arepa Bar at 7281 Biscayne Blvd carries the most weight, a 4.8 across 8,320 reviews. By the clock, the answer changes again: one kitchen on this list opens at 7 AM every day, and another stays open until 5 AM after a Saturday night. Below are twelve arepa spots across Miami and Doral, sorted by the numbers, plus our own arepa in Coral Gables. Every figure comes from each business's Google listing as of October 2026, and hours change, so check before you go.

Where are the best arepas in Miami, by Google rating?

The list is sorted by rating first and by number of reviews second, because a 4.9 built on nine hundred reviews and a 4.8 built on eight thousand are not saying the same thing. A place got in only if its name or Google's own summary mentions arepas. When a chain has more than one branch on this list, each address is listed separately, since each has its own score and its own hours. Not every branch of every chain is here, and the list is a selection, not every result Google returned.

Which Miami arepa spots are Venezuelan and which are Colombian?

An arepa is a round cake of corn dough cooked on a griddle, and both Venezuela and Colombia count it as their own. As a rule of thumb, the Venezuelan arepa is split open and filled like a pocket, while the Colombian one is usually thinner and comes as a side or with the toppings on it. Miami menus mix both, so here is only what Google's listings say.

• Venezuelan, per Google's summary: the three Doggi's Arepa Bar branches (Google describes them as an informal spot for arepas and other traditional Venezuelan food, plus burgers and seafood dishes), El Sitio Coffee Bar (an all-day quick service menu of classic Venezuelan arepas, breakfast and meat plates), Sabor Venezolano Doral (a counter-serve Venezuelan eatery for arepas, soup, empanadas and beer) and Budare Bistro (arepas and other traditional Venezuelan fare, with late weekend hours).
• Colombian: Sanpocho Restaurant is the only place on this list whose main Google category is Colombian restaurant. Google describes it as a small, no-frills eatery serving traditional Colombian food such as bandeja paisa platters and arepas.
• Vegan: The Cocinita is categorized as a vegan restaurant, and Google describes it as a modest option serving vegan South American staples such as burritos and arepas, plus burgers and sweets.
• Not stated: Arepera Tico Tico North, Arepera Tico Tico Edgewater, Dale Arepa Bar & Healthy Bistro Miami and Las Arepas De Maria (Doral Yard) are listed simply as restaurants, with no summary from Google, so the listing does not say which tradition they follow. Ask when you order.

Arepas rarely sit alone on a Venezuelan counter. If the golden cheese sticks next to them are new to you, we explain them in what are tequeños.

Where can you get arepas in Brickell?

When we searched Google for arepas in Brickell, four places from this list came back. In rating order, from 4.8 down to 4.0, they are El Sitio Coffee Bar at 19 NE 2nd Ave, The Cocinita at 70 SE 5th St Apt 107, Doggi's Arepa Bar at 1246 SW 22nd St and Budare Bistro at 1830 SW 3rd Ave. A neighborhood search also returns nearby streets, so check each address.

El Sitio opens first, at 7:30 AM, and The Cocinita last, at 11 AM. The Cocinita is the only one of the four that Google categorizes as a vegan restaurant, and Budare Bistro is the one that closes latest on Friday and Saturday nights.

Where are the best arepas in Doral?

Two Doral addresses made the list. Las Arepas De Maria (Doral Yard), at 8455 NW 53rd St, was the first result Google returned when we searched for arepas in Doral: 4.7 with 784 reviews. Sabor Venezolano Doral, at 10722 NW 74th St, has the bigger sample: 4.6 with 5,269 reviews.

Both open every day. Sabor Venezolano opens half an hour earlier, at 8 AM, and Las Arepas De Maria closes later on Friday and Saturday, at 11:50 PM.

Are there arepas in Coral Gables?

Yes, and this is the part of the guide where we talk about ourselves. When we ran the same Google search for arepas in Coral Gables, two of the first three results were Doggi's Arepa Bar at 1246 SW 22nd St and Dale Arepa Bar & Healthy Bistro Miami at 1711 Coral Wy. Both have Miami addresses in the 33145 zip code, not Coral Gables ones.

Inside Coral Gables, the arepa we can speak for is our own. GROU Coffee + Cowork is at 4100 Salzedo St STE 5, a four minute walk from Shops at Merrick Park. The Arepa on our menu is $6.99, and the menu describes it as a healthy Venezuelan arepa: a twist on the traditional dish that works for breakfast, lunch or a snack. It comes in plantain or beet, and it is labeled gluten free on our menu. If you have celiac disease or a serious allergy, tell the team before you order and ask how each item is prepared. Our healthy breakfast guide covers what you can add to it, from eggs and avocado to chicken, turkey, ham or cheese.

We are not going to rank ourselves. GROU is a specialty coffee shop with an all day brunch kitchen, not an arepa bar, and our 4.8 on Google, with more than 1,000 reviews, is a score for the whole shop rather than for one plate. Tequeños are on our menu as well, and the arepa comes out of the same kitchen that serves our brunch in Coral Gables.

We open Monday to Friday from 7:30 AM to 6 PM, and on Saturday and Sunday from 8:30 AM to 3 PM. We do not take reservations, so just walk in. Parking is free for 2 hours, and delivery runs through Uber Eats. The phone is +1 (305) 639-8218.

The two Arepera Tico Tico branches are the names here that are not breakfast options at all: Edgewater opens at 6 PM on weekdays and 3 PM on weekends, and North opens at 7 PM and is closed on Monday. If your morning starts in the Gables, our guide to the best breakfast in Coral Gables covers the rest of the neighborhood.

How much do arepas cost in Miami?

The Google listing data we used has no menu prices, only a price level, and on this list it does not separate anyone: all twelve places are marked moderate, the $$ tier. The real numbers are on each menu. The one price we can state is our own: the Arepa at GROU is $6.99.
