Mordisco Miami — Restaurant in Doral

Was really looking forward eating at Mordisco, but it was just a wasted my time. Arrived at the place as party of 1, with the intention of buying for myself and take a to go order for my husband. As I arrived the host offered me the bar, since she seemed annoyed that I was going to take a table for just myself. I insisted I wanted to sit down at a table, she told me I would have to wait since they were cleaning the table. I look around for the available tables and none of them needed cleaning. I told her I will then go to the restroom meanwhile they clean it. I came back to her, she repeated herself “table for 1, right?” I said yes, she told me AGAIN to wait that they were cleaning it…she then seated another party that came after me and then came back to take me to the table… which I previously noticed was never in need of cleaning. I then sit down, ready to order, made my order, which included a pasta and a burger to go. Then I was provided water which has crumbs inside, and I wait and wait for the server to come back to ask for a new water. The server just avoided coming back to the table. After a long time he came back with the news they can’t do my pasta because there was a gas leak in the whole Doral area and that they won’t be able to serve any food made with gas. Asked me if I wanted to ordered anything grilled, I said no thank you. Then the manager came and explained the situation, I said ok fine that I will order something else. Server came back and I told him I would then get another order of the same burger I had ordered to go, he then asked me if the manager also informed that they can’t do the burger either, she did not, she only mentioned the pasta. With that said, literally wasted a whole hour of my time and left empty handed. Unfortunately, this is definitely not a place I will want to come back. Total disappointment from the moment I...

4/18/25 - For lunch during the week, I try to visit different restaurants. Coworker recommended this one, so we decided to give it a try. Party of 8. Pros: We sat right away after checking in. The waitress was excellent. Very cordial and helpful because of our first time following the menu items. There are a lot of selections, all looking delicious. The front of the menu has a $30 dollars 3 course lunch, but on the back of the lunch menu they have more lunch specials around $18 dollars. I decided to share the Bandeja Paisa. Food was DELICIOUS 😋., Meat was excellent in flavor and tenderness. We also had the pulpo carpaccio, lunch branzino and few other items. For desert we had the papaya slices with cream cheese which was also delicious. Space is very ample, wasnt noise and we all felt comfortable. Once we placed our order, we got our food very quickly. I would say in about 10-15 minutes we all started receiving our orders. Now for the Cons: Parking.. Parking is tight. There wasn't much. For being Good Friday, place was packed during lunch. Im not sure how it will be when we try it again In a week or two. My next and last con is the size and price of the bandeja paisa. While it was very very delicious, the amount is very small for a $32 dollar plate. I've had bandejas in the $20 dollar range that are double the size of this one... Please consider increasing the amount of frijoles, arepitas and the meat. Chorizo and chicharrón were decently sized. Overall we all loved the food and we will definitely come back for lunch. Unfortunately it's a bit far from the office, but good thing is if the service was as quick as today, then we should be ok. We would just need to know what to order right when we get in

Give them a try, everything we had was...

Mordisco is a beautiful, modern, and quaint restaurant in the corner of a busy plaza. I was so very excited to see what they did with the place! What was once a desolate location is now beautifully charming and lively.

Their bar is stunningly decorated with an Araguaney tree, reminiscent of Venezuela’s natural beauty. A very nostalgic sight for all of us Venezuelans here in Doral! The bar is fully stocked with all sorts of spirits ranging from cordials to rum, gin, and even mezcal (which is rare to see), and their cocktail menu is robust, varied, and very well prepared.

The arepitas (I ate them before I could take a picture) were perfectly crispy and golden brown, the perfect size to satisfy you but leave you wanting another one, and beautifully presented. The queen arepa (reina pepiada for us Venezuelans) was truly the best I’ve had outside of Venezuela! The chicken was roasted and added a great flavor to the spread, and the cream was multi-faceted and smooth. The carne en vara carpaccio arepa was also incredibly yummy, with shaved parmigiana on top, subtle truffle oil drizzled throughout, and tender, juicy pieces of thinly cut meat. A very unique arepa and a must-order!

The waiters and waitresses were incredibly attentive and responsive. Daniella was our waitress and would immediately tend to our table as soon as we were done, gave great recommendations and imagery of the dishes, and made sure to check up on us. Thank you Daniella!

Mordisco is a great place to have a drink at the bar and get some quick, yummy bites like the arepitas or their appetizers, or to sit down and enjoy their menu with some friends while...
