"Open Until 12am Sun-Wed, 2am Thu-Sat It’s 1am in Doral, and you just left Martini Bar. Needless to say, your night’s been filled with poor choices. But there’s room for redemption. Whip out your phone and order a ride to Pepitos Plaza, a classic Venezuelan fast food spot. They’ve been a late night staple since 2002 and specialize in hot dogs and pepitos—both drenched in their glorious six sauce combo: ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, pink sauce, garlic sauce, and tartar sauce. There's also a Brickell location that keeps the same hours." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"Miami is now home to the largest population of Venezuelan immigrants in the United States, with the hub being in the city of Doral. With an exponential boom in immigration starting in the 1990s and peaking in the aughts, the community is now on track to impact the city just like Cubans did in the 1960s. The city of Doral alone has become Little Venezuela, often referred to as Doralzuela. Historically, it’s where you can get a variety of Venezuelan foods. But Pepito’s was one of the first, and popular long before Michelle Bernstein brought Anthony Bourdain here to try the Doralzuela, a massive beef, chicken, and smoked pork burger with six sauces. This place has always been a late-night spot, open till 2am Thursday through Saturday. But plenty of people still come here for dinner at a more reasonable time, eating dishes such as tequenos, cachapas, and their namesake pepitos, which are the overstuffed Venezuelan answer to hoagies. You can also find traditional Venezuelan soft drinks such as papelon con limon and parchita here." - mandy baca
"So you went to Martini Bar in Doral last night and ordered too many martini dream cocktails (gross). Lucky for you, Doral has one of Miami’s best hangover spots: Pepito's Plaza. It’s attached to a gas station and serves Venezuelan hot dogs and pepitos—both drenched in their glorious six sauce combo: ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, pink sauce, garlic sauce, and tartar sauce. Skip the Gatorade from the gas station and order a parchita instead—a passion fruit juice that will have you getting weird at CityPlace again in no time." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"2002 brought us the Nokia 3510—a cell phone so indestructible, you could drop it from your roof. That same year, Miami was introduced to Pepito's Plaza. Back then, it was just a Venezuelan hot dog stand in Doral next to a gas station where you could order hot dogs and pepitos—both drenched in their glorious six sauce combo: ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, pink sauce, garlic sauce, and tartar sauce. It’s the kind of stuff you crave if you’re sloshed or recovering from said sloshing—which is perfect because Pepito's is open late. They even expanded to Brickell and moved to a permanent location within the same gas station, where we hope they remain for even longer than the Nokia." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
