Milly's Empanada Factory

"Fried to order, this Venezuelan spot caught the attention of Food Network heavyweight Guy Fieri on “Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives” for empanadas that balance the perfect crunchy outside with a soft and flavorful inside." - Alona Martinez

"We tried to focus solely on the empanadas for this guide. But we can’t talk about Milly’s without talking about their space. Their use of neon lights is tasteful, and they have an empanada-shaped mirror we’ve repeatedly tried to find online because we need it in our living room. But the reason why they're on this guide is not because of how aesthetic they are, it’s because of how crispy and fulfilling their empanadas are. Each is medium-sized, fried to order, and has the perfect amount of sweetness in its dough. They also have a ghost kitchen in Wynwood if you’re looking for grab-and-go. But if you’re looking to have a sit-down breakfast or just want to get some work done with a side of empanadas, head over to their main location in Kendall. " - Julia Malave

"Cute is everywhere at Milly's, a casual Venezuelan spot in Kendall. The empanada-shaped mirror near the bathrooms, the calming dark blue walls that rival a weighted blanket, and the bright mural of two dessert travelers stumbling upon Milly's like it's a little oasis—so cute. All of it. The menu is classics done well, like arepas, cachapas, and what are definitely some of the best Venezuelan empanadas in Miami. Nothing on that menu is more than $15 either, and Milly’s is a great way to convince any friends who never go south of Coconut Grove to come visit you in Kendall. " - Ryan Pfeffer, Virginia Otazo

"Milly's is a casual Venezuelan spot in Kendall that's impossible to describe without using the word "cute" at least seven times. The empanada-shaped mirror near the bathrooms, the calming dark blue walls that rival a weighted blanket, and the bright mural of two dessert travelers stumbling upon Milly's like it's a little oasis—so cute. All of it. The menu is classics done well, like arepas, cachapas, and what are definitely some of the best Venezuelan empanadas in Miami.
