Reviews for Puerto Viejo in Brooklyn, NY
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 indoorseating. Read more

Went around 5pm, in time for last part of happy hour, got to enjoy some sangria along with yucca fries, chicken and spicy pork... empanadas, had pastelon de carne and carne guisada for dinner, food was tasty and seasoned well, sangria was on point andservice was quick, had a great time, try their homemade hot sauce was excellent.

One of my favorite spots, it is a go-to in the neighborhood. The food is great, good price and big portions.
So happy to find this gem on Grubhub and that they deliver to me! It?s GREAT! The rice and beans alone are so savory and... flavorful that you know anything else they?ve taken the same care and attention to their food. I find myself often getting theChurrasco (but explore the menu cause the other dishes I?ve tried are delicious). The steak by itself has a flavor to it that isso satisfying. Ty be adding the Chimichurri seals the deal ???? it?s so good! The empanadas are good too; lite tomato and groundbeef but lot of flavor. I also really enjoyed the chicken soup! People think less of and write off chicken soup but there aredefinitely levels to it and doing it well; which Puerto Viejo does! They add carrots and potato which make it feel and tastemore hearty. I love it. Definitely get a lemonade too! ???? it?s fresh and better than any store bought bottle! I can?t wait togo and dine in! Until then order you some delicious ! Read more
The restaurant was amazing! The only reason why I didn't give them 5 stars was due to the limited group seating and the food... portions could have been just a little bit bigger. The platano chips and garlic sauce were addictive. All the dishes were justlike the photos on the website, honestly everything tasted amazing. The sangria was strong but a little less ice would have beenperfect. Read more
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 itnormally comes with. Their maduros are done the right way - thin sliced and pan fried to utter perfection. They melt in my mouthlike 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 thisplace. 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 sogood. 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 wishthey?d pick Monday or Tuesday instead. Everyone in my house always craves puerto on Sundays. It?s the PERFECT day to eat theirfood. But you can?t. Nope. They are closed. Something to consider for them - a Sunday brunch. YESSSSSSSS. Please make it happen. Read more
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 garlicsauce was delicious. I personally had the oxtails and it was delicious the sauce was light and the meat tender. I could actuallycut the meat off the bone. Plantain chips for the table to share and don?t skip on the oxtail and sweet plantain empanada. It?sonly one empanada, but it?s big enough to share especially if you?re getting main dishes. Also, the staff was very friendly. Wewalked in 45 minutes before closing and they happily sat us. (I must mention happily because I?ve enter establishments thatbegrudgingly sat me before closing and the lack of service showed.) Read more
