Reviews for Punto Criollo in Coral Gables, FL
The best Venezuelan authentic home-made food experience in Miami. From the simple frituritas (empanadas, arepas, tequeños and... pastelitos) to the Plato Navideño (Christmas Meal) o. December the quality and flavor are just delicious. The service: aboveand beyond, specially Andres who has been there for a while always kind and funny to me and my kids. But the team always make aneffort to make you feel welcome and enjoy your time. My son’s quote: “Best empanadas and Arepas ever!”. Daughter’squote: “Empanadas, soups and the meat are delicious”.

Best food out there. Price, service, food, everything. If I could rate them 10 I would. Do yourself a favor and come
If you’re Venezuelan you will definitely like this place. A small store in Coral Gables with delicious options to breakfast.... To me the fried arepas were top. The empanadas also were really good and When I tried the “nestea” beverage I think I feltlike 18 years again. Totally recommended Read more
I had an arepa here one evening for dinner. I couldn't sleep all night got extreme pain in my stomach. I'm not sure if it was... the meat or what but I'm never eating here again. It also took them a long time, unusually long, to prepare this meal. Read more
I ordered the beef empanada and it was disappointing to say the least. The only good thing about this dish was the sauce that... came with the empanada. There was too much dough on the empanada and it didn't taste very good. I've definitely had betterempanadas. The staff here also don't speak English so better brush up on your Spanish. I don't speak Spanish and ordered inEnglish and the staff member who took my order then looked at my friend who spoke Spanish and told him the price of theempanada. Read more
Excellent Venezuelan restaurant with exceptional empanadas and arepas. The empanadas are extremely fresh, flavorful, and come... with a jalapeño mayonnaise dip that is delicious. We tried a beef and a meat/plantain/beans empanada. Both had a lot of flavorand beautiful fried. The arepas are filled with cheese and tasty meats. The shredded pork is extremely tender, and the crispy,yet fluffy corn “breading” is a warm pocket to soak up the flavor that comes from the meat and cheese. Read more
I’m giving 5 stars only because 6 is not allowed. Me and my wife had an amazing and delightful lunch in this... Venezuelan-oriented restaurant. I ordered a beef soup and it was so good and grandma style taste, that I think they keep agrandma hidden in the kitchen cooking for them. My wife ordered a lasagna. (Pasticho) along with sugar cane juice with lime,exactly the same taste of our hometown Caracas. For dessert we got a nutella cake along with a just brewed guayoyo (americanocoffee) . We couldn’t be happier with the food and the kind attention of the very professional servers. 100 % recommended Read more
I come here every weekend, and drive 50 miles to take breakfast here because my 4yrs little girl loves it (we all do). The food... is always fresh and tasty, prices are right, the energy of the place and all the servers is great. We really enjoy this Sat/Sunroutine. Thank you guys! Read more
