New Eatery Brings Latin Street Food to Shreveport

One of My Favorite Latin Street Foods is an Arepa.

An arepa is a Latin street food popular in Venezuela and in Colombia. Think of an arepa as a really thick tortilla almost like flatbread made from ground maize dough. An arepa is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and what you fill it with really comes down to what region you're in. Mainly it's meat, eggs, beans, and cheese inside the arepa. Up until the arrival of Miami Latin Kitchen, there was nowhere to secure the delicious street food.

Miami Latin Kitchen Originally Came to Shreveport as a Pop Up Shop.

They announced a brick-and-mortar location and they opened up on June 12th. Since then the spot has brought in a lot of Latin flair to town. The restaurant is located at the Pierremont Hills Shopping Center the address is 941 E 70th Shreveport, LA.

I Decided to Drop in and Try Miami Latin Kitchen for Myself.

We ordered some delicious items and I got my favorite street food item, an Arepa. The staff was super friendly and they were so excited to offer us different types of empanadas and arepas. There is a vast selection of options I wanted to try everything on the menu. We tried an Argentinian empanada, the cheese tequenos, the pabellon and the Reina arepa.

We tried one of the "fast plates" basically a dish that can be ready in under 5 minutes, so if you need a quick lunch, this spot is great for you.
