The best Dominican food in Brooklyn. It was authentic and was cooked well. The menu was extensive with great options for everyone. The vibe in the restaurant was awesome. Good music and the staff was very friendly. The hostess was wonderful and our waiters we're attentive, making sure our water was full. It was a pleasant and relaxing experience. I'll definitely be back! Also, you can also order online which we do a few times a month. Muchos gracias!!

My second time here. Everything continues to be delicious. Pictured: beef empanadas, tostones, cubano, black beans, and pernil.

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.

Very nice place to eat. The food is great and the ambiance is very nice. If you looking for a good Cuban food style restaurant, this is it. Friendly staff and very welcoming.

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 and service was quick, had a great time, try their homemade hot sauce was excellent.

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 the Churrasco (but explore the menu cause the other dishes I’ve tried are delicious). The steak by itself has a flavor to it that is so satisfying. Ty be adding the Chimichurri seals the deal ???? it’s so good! The empanadas are good too; lite tomato and ground beef but lot of flavor. I also really enjoyed the chicken soup! People think less of and write off chicken soup but there are definitely levels to it and doing it well; which Puerto Viejo does! They add carrots and potato which make it feel and taste more hearty. I love it. Definitely get a lemonade too! ???? it’s fresh and better than any store bought bottle! I can’t wait to go and dine in! Until then order you some delicious !

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 just like the photos on the website, honestly everything tasted amazing. The sangria was strong but a little less ice would have been perfect.

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.
