The opportunity
A neighborhood institution deserved a website as warm and abundant as its table.
The public story spans Venezuelan arepas, Colombian calentao, Peruvian lomo, weekend brunch, ordering, and two South Florida dining rooms. The concept gives that breadth a clear rhythm: establish appetite, make the food easy to browse, let local praise build confidence, then route guests to the right table.
The journey we designed
Four decisions, from appetite to arrival.
- 01
Appetite
A generous table spread and one clear promise introduce the restaurant through the food itself.
Question answered
“What kind of place is this?” - 02
Discovery
Food, brunch, the dining rooms, and signature dishes turn a broad menu into a guided browse.
Question answered
“What should I order?” - 03
Confidence
Local reviews bring the voice of regulars into the decision without interrupting the visual pace.
Question answered
“Will everyone enjoy it?” - 04
Location
Doral and Plantation get equal weight, with hours and contact details kept close to each room.
Question answered
“Which one should I visit?”
Screen by screen
A fuller digital table, paced for quick decisions.
The original homepage, restaurant story, menu, and visit details sit beside their proposed redesigns. Each pair shows the change in photography, hierarchy, and the next step for a guest.
Three ways into the restaurant.
Food, brunch, and the dining rooms become distinct invitations, each using its own image and a short next step.
The menu becomes a reason to visit.
Four recognizable dishes carry the range of the kitchen while names, prices, and ingredients stay easy to scan.
Word of mouth gets its own moment.
The original homepage has no equivalent review section. This added concept feature places a review carousel before location selection, giving guest feedback a clear place in the proposed journey.
Two rooms, one clear choice.
Photography, address, hours, and phone details sit together so guests can choose Doral or Plantation without hunting.
