"If there was such a thing as a high school for arepas (we smell a young adult novel), Doggi’s versions would easily win the senior superlative for most popular. Everyone loves these arepas, which are as fat as structurally possible. They have a wide range of ingredients you can stuff inside your warm arepa, including hearts of palm, fried pork belly, and plantain. The arepa Santa Barbara (churrasco, tomato, avocado, and cheese) is a favorite and would probably be the high school quarterback in this novel we’re about to start pitching. Come here for the huge breakfast special too, featuring beef, plantains, avocado, cheese, and eggs so you can practice your own arepa-stuffing skills, which will prove very useful one day." - ryan pfeffer
"If a fresh passion fruit juice and an arepa from Doggi’s in MiMo don’t start to make you feel a tiny bit like a person again, you may just want to go back to bed and try again tomorrow. We have yet to meet a hangover that couldn’t be at least lightened by this duo, especially if we’re ordering the arepa santa bárbara, which is an overstuffed pocket of churrasco, tomato, avocado, and cheese. You’re also going to need about 70% of the excellent sauce found inside the squeeze bottles on the table." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"I can head to Doggi Arepa bar to find hallacas, the Venezuelan yellow masa bundles filled with a savory blend of pork, meat, and chicken stewed with olives and raisins and wrapped in banana leaves." - Alona Martinez
"Several Latin American countries have made the arepas an integral part of their cuisine. Made of pre-cooked corn flour (masarepa) and water, these hearty pancakes are grilled and then stuffed with everything from avocado to meat to cheese, making for a light meal or hand-held dish to eat on the go. Miamians are serious about their arepa fix, and Doggi’s serves some of the best iterations in town, including a Mexican version filled with churrasco, avocado, and pico de gallo." - Juliana Accioly
"I saw Doggi’s Arepa Bar on site as one of the local food vendors, offering items from its regular menu along with special seasonal dishes for the Hay Maze event." - Olee Fowler
