I had ordered from them through Uber eats, I had ordered a Mondongo. When it came it was just soup in a small container, no meat, vegetables, or anything that mondongo includes. And the flavors were also off, it tasted more like a chili sauce and smelled like it rather than mondongo. The amount of soup I got was like they had barely anything left and decided to just give me that. I was super excited to try their food, but I was left disappointed. Would never order there again.

Solid Dominican spot. The ambiance is lovely. The food was okay. We had a chinola, some apps like the maduros y yuca fries and pollo a la horno. Felt a little dry but overall still flavorful. The yuca fries salsa was awful tho so don’t have that. Very affordable tho

Lunch special is not special. They skimp on the meat. They asked if I wanted plantains and charged more. Older guy who rang me up must’ve been having a bad day…

Puerto Viejo really delivers. The food is full of flavor, cooked with care, and the portions are generous. Me and my girl came through Brooklyn on other business and ended up getting hungry, and this spot did not disappoint. We started with the empanadas, then had the roasted pork with yellow rice and added a few extra sides. Everything tasted fresh and well seasoned. you can tell this is the kind of place that really respects traditional Dominican cooking. The atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable, and our server Caesar was amazing and took great care of us.
This is a great spot if you’re looking for real Caribbean food that feels like home, not watered down. Definitely coming back

OMG its a pleasure to review this restaurant, wowww what an amazing food they have. I forgot to take more pictures , but I will when I go back. The morir soñando was the best one I have try. And even when the ice melt a little bit the taste increase... idk how is that even possible. I got a picadera. It was a big portion and pernil ( pork) with yuca. ( cassava) it was tender, full of flavor, persil soft and with crispy skin. Cassava supper soft. Wow I love it. This is a restaurant that im really looking to go back pretty soon.

Had an absolutely excellent meal here with family. Friendly service, delicious food, and very pleasant lighting and music level. Personally had one of their specials, some sort of slow cooked goat - fantastic!

Immediately loved this place based on how cute they dress up the presidentes. Food bangs. Service bangs even harder. Ambiance - can’t be beat. Music? Perfect volume. Run, don’t walk!!!

Came here for dinner with friends ,the interior was very nice, and the food was delicious, the portion size is more conservative could have enjoyed a bit more but the food its self was 10/10. If you want boneless chicken it will cost you more which i found a bit weird but okay. The drinks were just ‘okay’. The music was very random techno/house music that did not match the atmosphere or cuisine . I was hoping to hear some bachata or salsa at least ONCE but no, not one Spanish song ever played. Granted its located in a heavily gentrified part of brooklyn but for a restaurant thats been operating since 1986 it should keep its self as authentic as possible . Worth checking out and support this great local spot !
