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

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??

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!

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.

Had an absolutely excellent meal here with family. Friendly service, delicious food, and very pleasant lighting and music level. Personally had one of their specials, some sort of slow cooked goat - fantastic!

I can't believe they've been in BK since 1986! The food was absolutely delicious and well prepared and presented.

What a gem! A small, underrated, cultural gem that is Puerto Viejo! I am more than glad that I came across this place on Google. They pride themselves on serving authentic Dominican cuisine that makes you feel warmth when you eat it. It truly tastes like home cooked food. First off, it’s such a cool decor. Really gives me South American vibes and energy. The music, the overall mood gave me Dominican Republic vibes. I was happy to hear that they do have a happy hour, so I ordered a sangria, which was honestly one of the best I’ve had in some time, and I know a couple places that makes some good sangrias. This one at Puerto Viejo however, just had something different about it in flavor. I can tell that it was intentional, and that whomever made it, is skilled at sangrias. It really was just what I needed. Tropical, chilled, refreshing. One of the main reasons I came here was because I saw that they have pastelon on their menu, which I only recently tried from a friend. She’s a great cook, and her pastelon left me wanting more! Pastelon is pretty much a lasagna, made with beef, cheese, and ripe plantains. It’s made differently in every culture, and I’ve yet to try Dominican pastelon. I ordered it, and as it was coming out, I was in awe at how beautiful it was. So simple. So homey. So comforting just by the look of it. I dig into it with my fork, take a bite, and am instantly blown away. They weren’t lying on their website when they said authentic. It tasted as such. But also, it tasted like love. The ripe, sweet plantains, with the contrast of the savory, well-flavored beef. The cheese, that gave me a different vibe from most cheeses I’ve eaten. It was so comforting. I knew right away that they cared about their food and what they serve their guests. I tasted their culture and their pride in it. It really was a special dish. Damn.... I also wanted dessert. I saw on the menu that they serve tres leches cake. I have a thing with tres leches cake, where I either love love love it and it gives me life and purpose, or it’s sad, therefore making me sad that no one cared about making it properly, and also sad that I wasted calories. I asked the waiter if it was made in-house. That’s always the determining factor for me. If it isn’t made in-house, then I won’t even try it. He told me that it was made in-house and that it is one of the best, that is is VERY good! His confidence is what sold me.....and girl, I’m glad it did. When he brought out this tres leches cake, I didn’t even have to taste it to know that I was gonna love love love it! I could sense the love that was baked into this slice of cake. I could feel it. It sounds dramatic, but it’s REAL. There was a layer of milk at the bottom of the bowl, allowing the cake to continue to soak. I bit into it, and drifted into the heavens. It was extremely lite. Rich, yet lite. Moist. Decadent. Loving. Scrumptious Dominican tres leche cake. It truly was the best I’ve ever had. After eating, I saw the owner. I recognized her from IG. I went over and expressed my gratitude for her delicious food. I was blown away by it and everyone needs to go RIGHT NOW to Puerto Viejo! Tell them Kevin’s Cravings sent you!
