Our Story

A Taste of Home, Right Here in Miami

Las Arepas de JR was born from a simple conviction: that the best food carries memory. Every arepa we shape by hand carries the warmth of Venezuelan kitchens — where corn dough is more than an ingredient, it's an inheritance.

Located on SW 88th Street in the heart of Miami, we invite you to experience the rich, comforting flavors that have made arepas the soul food of Venezuela. From the moment you bite into our golden, crispy exterior to the tender, flavorful filling within, every taste tells a story.

These arepas taste exactly like what my abuela used to make back in Caracas. I drove across town just to find a place that gets it right — and I found it here.

The Reina Pepiada is extraordinary — the avocado is perfectly ripe and the chicken is so tender. This is now our Friday night tradition.
