Delicious Dominican food well worth the trip from Manhattan to Brooklyn.
I loved the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant as well. It’s a cozy spot to have a casual romantic night out or family dinner. The food hits the spot with all the best dishes like the Chicharron De Pollo, Pernil, Sancocho and more!
Recommend for all and I would love to come again.
I had the Chimi burger w their specialty Cole slaw and yuca fries. The sangria, food, both fantastic.
Perfect place to chill with good food and good music. We ate outside as it was sunny.
Coñoooooo Que Rico.
Beautiful decor. Service needs improvement but the food was absolutely delicious. The pollo guisado was not great and do not recommend.
The bistec was excellent accompanied by tostones.
This Dominican Bistro is tucked away off the beat and path in Brooklyn. The industrial/automotive area allows this establishment to stand out since the food quality is excellent.
The drinks were delicious too all for an affordable price. Bring your friends, family, lover or date and enjoy Puerto Viejo.
I love this place so much. It’s my favorite restaurant in my neighborhood and I come here twice a month or more. They have great sangria - I usually get the red. I almost always order the bistec encebollado and I get maduros instead of the tostones it normally comes with. Their maduros are done the right way - thin sliced and pan fried to utter perfection. They melt in my mouth like candy. The brown sauce with the meat is delicious and I want to take a bath in it. There’s nothing bad I can say about this place. I used to complain that they were cash only, but thanks to the plague they take cards now!!! Thank you, coronavirus!! Thank you!!! I almost never carry cash and it was a pain. They also have amazing happy hour before 7 on drinks and empanadas, which are so crispy and good that sometimes I just come and drink and eat empanadas. And that’s why I’m fat! Seriously, it’s so good. It’s on a weird bombed out looking quiet stretch of Grand just past Atlantic Ave. wait, I do have one major complaint!! And it’s actually huge. They are CLOSED SUNDAYS. I know that everyone needs a day off in the restaurant business, but I wish they’d pick Monday or Tuesday instead. Everyone in my house always craves puerto on Sundays. It’s the PERFECT day to eat their food. But you can’t. Nope. They are closed. Something to consider for them - a Sunday brunch. YESSSSSSSS. Please make it happen.
there is not a single item on this menu that’s anything less than fantastic. we’ve had the mofongo, sancocho, grilled octopus, burger, cubano, empanadas, tostones rellenos. they’re all EXCEPTIONAL, and there’s so much more i want to try.
the folks who work here are also the absolute kindest and coolest. when i’m at puerto viejo, i’m just happy, man! the vibes and ambiance are on point too. great for dates, friend hangs, family outings, really you name it. 15/10
Really great spot for amazing food and friendly service. The Cuban had the most perfect cheese I’ve ever had on a Cuban, or sandwich in general. The bistec encebollado was one of my favorite dishes. Excited to come back! Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating.
The food was so good and the selection of choices is refreshing. The vegetarian/ vegan option was actually fresh vegetables that were not over cooked, contained flavors and not a meat substitute. The shrimp dish came with a good amount of pieces and garlic sauce was delicious. I personally had the oxtails and it was delicious the sauce was light and the meat tender. I could actually cut the meat off the bone.
Plantain chips for the table to share and don’t skip on the oxtail and sweet plantain empanada. It’s only one empanada, but it’s big enough to share especially if you’re getting main dishes.
Also, the staff was very friendly. We walked in 45 minutes before closing and they happily sat us. (I must mention happily because I’ve enter establishments that begrudgingly sat me before closing and the lack of service showed.)
Our dinner was delicious!! All of the things we got were incredibly flavorful and we would definitely get them again. The appetizer special of the night was grilled octopus (pictured). They have set up a cute outdoor seating area.
