During our visit, we opted to try a few different dishes from the extensive menu. First up was the New Yorker—toasted sourdough topped with whipped cream cheese, spiced za’atar, smoked salmon, sliced tomato, pickled red onion, alfalfa sprouts, and a drizzle of lemon oil. It was the perfect balance of flavors, and the freshness of the ingredients truly stood out.
We also couldn’t resist ordering the Cheese Quesadilla, made with a toasted gluten-free wrap and mozzarella, served with a side of mandarin oranges. Simple but absolutely satisfying, it was a hit with our daughter.
And, of course, no visit to Pura Vida is complete without trying their coffee. We savored a perfectly brewed café latte, which was rich, creamy, and exactly what we needed to fuel our day of exploring Miami.
This cozy spot is a must-visit with fantastic arepas, perfectly cooked plantains, and a variety of vegan options to explore.

They have Gluten free arepas and they offer vegan cheese as a substitute. Lots of great options. We tried both the Pabellon and the Catira. Both amazing. Plantains are a favorite of mine and I can never get them made well on the west coast, they are perfect here. Great little spot. Highly recommend
Excellent Eatery. Quick service. Quality food. My wife has celiac and has eaten here twice with no issues. Chocolate Chip Pancakes for the kids, or the kid in you......
Outdoor seating offers a vibrant vibe, with some playful service quirks, but do check the menu to avoid any surprises.

This review is for outdoor seating only. And, if it hadn’t been for Sierra (?) the manager it would have been a one star review. We were seated indoors and told there were no seats available outside (even though we saw empty tables). Fine. But, the table we were seated at had water dripping down on it and we were asked to stand to the side as they took a mop and wiped the ceiling. Again, we asked to be seated outside instead and were dismissed rather rudely. At this point, we decided to leave. But, Sierra caught up with us, apologized and urged us to take a lovely table outside with a fabulous server and promised it would be a wonderful situation, and offered us some wine as an apology. It’s a tale of two restaurants. Outside was so much better. Fabulous vibe, welcoming service (I think our server’s name was Jen), and good food and wine. We had the Miami Spice and enjoyed the crudo and steak. Also, appreciated the substitution of gelato to accommodate a gluten intolerance.
One more thing, one of the servers dropped some wine glasses and glass shattered over my feet. They were apologetic though.
So, if you go, look at the menu so the prices don’t surprise you and sit outside.
Expect top-quality burgers that look as good as they taste, plus a cozy outdoor patio for a chill meal away from the crowd.

Wow! Our meal was just excellent! This was the best veg burger that I ever had, every ingredient was top quality and so carefully prepared. It is that one burger that looks exactly like the picture with its perfect lettuce curves and soft bread- and tastes even better. Fries were crispy and flavorful and they come with house-made sauces. If you are in Miami you must try these burgers! They also have perfect gluten-free buns, not like the ones that start crumbling at the sight of the patty. 😋 outdoor patio is so cozy as well, perfect place if you don’t want to listen to the hum of a crowd while eating. Owner was so kind and gave us all super good vibes!
They are proud of their empanadas. And it is true, they really are that good. Also: made-to-order gluten-free empanadas. And the staff is super friendly
