- Place the Arepa flat on a surface, and with a butter knife serrate the ridge from one end to another following a half-circle pattern making sure that you don’t cut through to the other end of the Arepa.
- Once you have created an opening around the edges, carve towards the center of the arepa to allow the arepa to open like a clamshell so that you can insert the ingredients.

Founded by brothers Giovanni and Carlos Esteves as a hot dog cart in 2010, Doggi’s has since become so popular that it’s expanded to four Miami-area brick-and-mortar locations.
Drawing on their vast expertise of Venezuelan cuisine – and with a little help from their mother, Yoleida – Giovanni and Carlos are making each of their fresh arepas by hand and loading them up with everything from shredded beef, ripe fried plantains, black beans, and cheese (Pabellón Criollo) to grilled picanha steak, pan-seared queso blanco, and guasacaca sauce (Llanera). This is a true taste of Venezuela, and now it’s shipping nationwide!
