’m Haitian American, and my boyfriend and I love exploring different Hispanic cuisines. This is my second time eating here, and I love love love it! Out of all the places I’ve tried, this is hands down my favorite Colombian spot. Whenever me and my boyfriend want authentic Colombian food, this is the place we come to. The food is flavorful, fresh, and always hits the spot! My boyfriend ordered the Bistec A La Criolla (Top sirloin streak on creole sauce served with rice and red beans, sweet plantains and salad) and I ordered Pechuga Al Ajillo (grilled chicken breast with garlic sauce, served with rice and red beans, sweet, plantains, and salad)

I’m not sure how this place doesn’t have 5 stars. Literally the best most authentic Colombian food I have ever had. Huge portions, amazing quality food, mom and pop shop for sure.

Great neighborhood restaurant in hollywood for authentic Colombian food. The food is fresh and delicious, and they give you very big portions! The soups, meat and fish are very good. There are like only 6 tables and 3 or 4 counter seats, so it gets full very easy at peak times. Only reason it gets 3 star for atmosphere is because the windows are covered with advertising film that doesn’t allow view to the outside so it feels very closed in but the food and service make up for it! They do a huge take out business as well. Parking is in the back of the restaurant.

This place was amazing. The portions are soooo generous and the price was very fair. I ordered the breaded chicken and my kids ordered the salchipapas. It was very flavorful. My wife and I are so happy we found this place. I would’ve given this place 5 stars but they have a hard time accommodating large groups. We had to wait standing next to the other tables until a a couple of tables were free so we can try to join them. But it was worth it. I would do it again.

Food: 0/10 | Staff: 1/10 | Accommodations: 3/10 (place too small, good and bad smells get mixed)
I do not recommend this place at all. Been there twice and both times l’ve had an issue. The first time the entire place smelled like feces (02/11 to be exact), I immediately left.
Today (02/14/2024, Valentine’s day, where restaurants SHOULD have all ordered nice and neat on this day) I ordered two “picanha with avocado” and I was very clear to the person who took my order on the phone, I wanted the meat well done and they FAILED. I later saw in the other reviews that it’s common on them having mistakes on their orders. Facts.
The meat was completely raw from the inside. I immediately called the restaurant to speak with the manager or to the person in charge, and they were not willing to help at all.
I spoke with a Cuban lady, who said she had just started her shift, and did not helped at all and gave 0 solutions. She said that if I hadn’t touched or eaten the food, they could give me another plate or see what they could do. (are they going to give this food to someone else? Of course I had tried the food, otherwise how am I going to know if the meat was raw from the inside or not? Doesn’t make sense. If I take this food back to the restaurant, it should be thrown away, for obvious reasons, it doesn’t matter if the food is touched or not). The rice was clearly not freshly cooked and the whole experience was horrible. I wasted my money and tip on them.
I had to throw away the two meals I payed for since the food was disgusting and the employees on site did not helped.
Please see attached pictures for reference.

Chicharon was not good and I asked for a fresh one. I had to wait, ready in less than 10 minutes Don’t know what I got but it looked like a refried one. The one I was given was tooooooo well done to be freshly made and ready so fast. I’ve had much better chicharon in Winn Dixie.
The pan de bonos were just ok not exceptional. Only thing really good was the arepa with the chicharon.

Great food, reasonably priced, very attentive service. Place is quite small, not ideal for large groups and atmosphere isn’t the most appealing (lots of ambient noise, including sounds coming from the kitchen). I’d return because of the food, went on the recommendation of a native Colombian dear friend.

Great Colombian restaurant. The food was delicious and it had very good prices. The authentic juice options are very refreshing.

We visited other Colombian restaurants in FL, but Tienda Vieja definitely gets our vote in terms of a “must visit” if authentic Colombian food is what you’re craving.
Tienda Vieja is not an upscale restaurant, but what they lack in appearance they sure make up for in portion, flavor, and great prices. Just about every serving is enough for two. The food here is so filling and delicious.
We walked through the front door, which was alongside Hollywood Dr, but everyone we saw while there walked in through the back door entrance.
When I’m in the FL area and craving authentic Colombian food, Tienda Vieja is where I’m going. Check them out and let me know what you think.

Pretty good place, clean and welcoming small location. The food takes a little long to come out, maybe because of the limited employees. Some of the food tasted a bit old, it was missing a little bit more flavor but the customer service made up for it. The place/area seemed very calmed, you can make an order through the phone and pick up. There is a mini bar but only one person assign to service bar and tables and that’s probably because of the space and number of customers. It doesn’t get that full, okay place.
