Central Park Food Station — Restaurant in Doral

Was looking for a quick meal to grab when I stopped here starving. This Venezuelan eatery offers all the typical fare you’d expect (at great prices) and even has a couple notable specials like 2 of their Engy Hot Dogs with a fountain soda for only $3.99 after 3p.m. I decided to go for their “You Can’t Eat Just One Empanadita” special to start which includes 3 fried empanadas of your choice and a fountain soda for $3.99. The empanadas were mediocre, nothing special to rave about though I really enjoyed their house sauces served with them which you shouldn’t miss out on! For my entree I decided to get their Steak Pepiarepa $8.99 since I had never seen anything like it before. Their Pepiarepas are fried arepas cut into chunks, cabbage, tomatoes, ham, boiled egg, mustard, ketchup and their house “engy” sauce so kind of like a deconstructed arepa served in a bowl with your choice of protein. I think I would have preferred ordering a normal stuffed arepa to this even though the flavors and combination were somewhat tasty. Some of the ingredients (like the arepa and steak pieces) were over cooked making it chewy and the whole thing taste pretty second-rate.

I did come 30 minutes before closing which I usually try to avoid and maybe is why my meal came out just okay. The staff was very friendly and it was an inviting eatery, but I can’t see myself venturing back...

I just ordered for pickup and the atmosphere was amazing, great feel to the restaurant feels like exactly what the name states. The food was absolutely delicious every bite was enjoyable which is a lot to say since I ordered empanadas and if you know anything about empanadas you know that the edges can be not as good as the middle and there may be gaps in the filling of the empanadas but not these the breading was so delicious every bite was great. The sauces that come with it were very tasty, it was enhancing without overpowering. My burger was moist, produce (lettuce, tomatoes, onions) all fresh, the bread was firm and even had "central park station" grilled onto the top of the bun the experience as a whole was impeccable and I commend the Owner on the establishment as a whole. I will be coming he very often, I plan to be...

Food wasn't all that great. Don't expect "dialed in" service past 9pm...staff sleepwalking through serving you. Oh, & if you do not speak spanish...bring an interpreter or cue cards. You sell hot dogs but do not know what relish is??? Thanks for even recommending this place Google maps. Note to google: just stick to Internet searches...come to central station, get the hot dog without potato sticks (geez, what's the fascination regarding potato sticks here in Miami, Fl!!) then leave. Cheeseburger tastes like salmon after...
