About La Puerta Roja

La Puerta Roja offers delicious Latin food with a wide variety of options, including Dominican, Mexican, and Colombian cuisines. Their drinks are a highlight, featuring great margaritas in flavors like coconut and hibiscus, along with a bottomless brunch. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, with the indoor area being interesting and eclectic, often filled with Latin American music. However, the outdoor addition added during Covid has some issues, as roaches have been seen crawling in and out of the area, which can be gross. The staff provides friendly service, frequently checking on guests and refilling drinks, with large parties being seated quickly even on busy nights. Food arrives promptly and at the right temperature, and many customers enjoy the fish tacos, which are a popular choice. Portion sizes are large, often enough to take leftovers home. Prices are quite reasonable for Brooklyn, with sandwiches like the steak sandwich costing around $19. The restaurant is conveniently located near bus lines, the subway, and offers street parking and bike racks. Happy hour runs from 1-7, making it a great spot for drinks and socializing. Vegetarian and dairy-free options are available for those with dietary restrictions.
