About Us

Our Story | since 2010

Culture You Can Taste.
Doggi’s Arepa Bar began in Miami in 2010 with a simple dream, a hot dog cart, and a passion for sharing Venezuelan flavors. Originally named Doggi’s & More, our journey started by serving hot dogs, refreshing sodas, and traditional Venezuelan papelón con limón.
Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and a love for our culinary heritage, we opened our first restaurant on Coral Way in 2011, introducing a wider selection of authentic Venezuelan dishes inspired by cherished family recipes and elevated with our own creative touch.
Founded by Yoleida Galiano and her sons, Carlos and Giovanni Esteves, Doggi’s is built on family, tradition, hard work, and a shared passion for hospitality.
In 2016, we expanded to Biscayne Boulevard, marking another milestone in our journey. What began as a small family venture has since grown into a recognized Venezuelan restaurant brand with five locations across South Florida, including Coral Way, Biscayne Boulevard, Wynwood, Aventura Mall, and Hallandale Beach.
Beyond our restaurants, Doggi’s has expanded its presence into Miami’s vibrant sports and entertainment scene, proudly serving fans at major sporting events, including Inter Miami CF, where we have been part of the matchday experience for multiple seasons.
Today, our mission remains the same: to celebrate our Venezuelan roots, bring people together through food, and share the flavors and traditions that make our culture unique.
From a humble hot dog cart to the heart of Miami’s culinary scene, our story is a celebration of family, perseverance, and the American dream.
