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

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.

Amazing service, food, atmosphere! I feel transported to another country. Clean bathroom.
Omg the food is SO delicious and rich with flavor. Has mofongo to share and ceviche.
Loved this family owned restaurant! They played salsa and not too loud! Can easily have a conversation without yelling.
Will come back to try their other food!

Love this place! Excellent and easy lunch and dinner spot. The beef stews are so so good, and I love the empanadas. Really reasonable pricing as well (rare to find these days). It can be a touch slow sometimes, but I think that is because they are making the food fresh. I have always found it to be worth the wait. And also it makes you think — what is the rush anyways??

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.

The food here was absolutely terrific! Everything from the empanada to the entrée and dessert was spot on. I had the churrasco (skirt steak) and flan de coco—both were outstanding. This place is a great spot for a date night, and the atmosphere was just perfect. Service was quick and professional, making the experience even better. I’m not sure what position Eduardo holds, but he was incredibly generous, and the man with the clever beard also left a great impression. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Wow! I always pass this place going to work and say I need to stop in! Glad I did today! I’m fighting a cold and my God , I feel the cold leaving my body after having the sancocho ! So glad I took the recommendation of the gentleman who helped me with my order. The establishment is a hidden gem tucked between auto shops. Very clean, lots of catered orders going out so you know it’s good! Also the bathroom was really clean and well designed. I will definitely be back!
