Puerto Viejo

The service and the vibe of the room is cozy and great. The empanadas were nice especially the plantain and oxtail one, but mains were lacklustre and disappointing. Still a great neighbourhood spot.

Everything that comes off their open-flame grill is charred to perfection. That octopus ! If you want a fried treat, the chicharrones are excellent - just make sure you request bones in the chicken 🐔

As a Dominican, I can fully attest that this place is the bomb diggidity damn. Wow! Sangria , tostones rellenos (and I don't even like beef ), sancocho , everything wow! Live music weekly.

The sangria and empanadas are so good. The main dishes are also great and the tres leches is a great way to end the meal! Everyone is so friendly . Great date spot .

Puerto Viejo is a Dominican bistro that has the expected Dominican dishes like sancocho with pieces of chicken and pork and tender roasted pernil . The homemade habanero hot sauce is a must. Read more

I really dig this restaurant . I named it one of my 20 Trendy Caribbean restaurants . See more here: http://jayblessed.com/2015/11/18/jays-list-20-trendy-dine-in-caribbean-owned-restaurants-in-nyc/

this is one of my favorite restaurants . sancocho is amazing (I always get it) and their sangria is wonderful. haven't had anything I didn't like yet and the prices are great

The cubano I tried was amazing! And the hot sauce they make.. ufff!! 👌🏽

The menu is varied so that you can either get a hearty main or share a bunch of sides appetizers . Volume is loud enough to focus you on your dinner partner without being deafening. Service is friendly

Pastellon is incredible. Chicharrones de pollo are great little deep fried bits of delicious. And definitely have some plantain chips to start. This place is fantastic.

How can you go wrong with empanadas and plantain chips ? Add some sangria and you've got the best cozy-casual night in the neighborhood .

Really enjoyed the Chicharrones de Cerdo . Tender chunks of fried pork served with delicious boiled yuca and pickled red onions .

delicious mofongo and great empanadas and sangria . happy hour deals are incredible. very homey vibe.

Seriously the best empanadas anywhere. The cheese one is so good that I want to have it for breakfast with eggs on the side. One minus is that it's cash only .

they *are* open on sundays for brunch , with a special dominican brunch menu . i think it's just for the summer. whatever that pulled pork eggs benedict thing is on the menu, get it.

Vegetarian here: Not a lot of veggie options , but the ones available are very good! Veggie mofongo , some veggie empanadas , and some sides are really good. Very Dominican tasting drinks.

Best Dominican food I have had in Brooklyn. One of the best restaurants I have been to in the Prospect Heights / Crown Heights / Fort Greene area of Brooklyn.

Latin american cuisine . A really good choice if you want to try something different. Good prices and delicious food. "Pernil " is my personal recommendation :)

Completely obsessed with their oatmeal juice and Tres Los Golpes for breakfast . Hot sauce is housemade and you can purchase for home. Love!

Delicious, affordable , great staff , overall good vibe. As a vegetarian , pleased to have enjoyed a delicious veggie mofongo . I'll be back!

All this food is fuckin' Grade A! And I was hungry so it all went down. Empanadas were fresh too! Highly recommend this place!

Everything here is great. Chimi burger low key a contender 💯 get it with homemade fries

Delicious and beautiful, earthy, laidback vibe. Everthing was delicious including the cheese empanadas and cuban sandwich . My son decided its his new favorite place

Happy hour $1 empanadas and $3 beers . Best happy hour ever! And the empanadas are really good, always ask for the spicy sauce , it's home made and super spicy . Love it!

Delicious. Get the picadera for two. You will lose your mind. Chimi burger is also delicious (and great bang for your buck).

Great vibe and the people working here are so personable. Vegetarian options are not as many, but the ones they do have are very delicious.

Get the rabo guisado (oxtail ) with maduros (sweet plantains )!

The tostones rellenos is a delicious appetizer (fried green plantains scooped with barbecued pulled beef ).

Order a pitcher of red sangria and feast on empanadas . Go with at least one white cheese . Prove you are a man by a generous portion of their hot sauce . Prooooove it!

If you're lucky enough to sit at the bar when the wonderful woman who tends is there, you have won the game. This place is amazing.

New favorite place. Super yummy food (I thought it might be very oily but it turned out to be not greasy at all) and really fun place to go out!

The best entree is the Pastelón de Carne. Mashed sweet plantains layered with beef and cheese .

That happy hour is insane! 1.50 for beef , cheese and chicken . Beef and chicken were best. Spicy pork was great too.

Tilapia for $10 is a steal comes with rice and beans an a whole lot of flavor!!! Can't lose try the homemade hot sauce

Love the maduros (sweet plantains ). Such an amazing side.

LOVE the lunch special . The Pernil is always juicy and delicious and the hot sauce is awesome.

What a nice place to go !!! Don't miss the happy hour ! Great staff ! I'll be back SOON ! Tks ! Love Dominican food :)

Great empanadas . Come here on weekdays during Happy Hour for $1 empanadas .

The flavors in the pulpo salad , and chicken chicharones were incredible. Try the homemade hot sauce !

Pro tip: Since it's a Dominican restaurant , don't order the Cuban Sandwich or the friendly servers will judge you. The burger 's great (and not Cuban).

Chicharron el pollo is adult chicken nuggets and I love it

Dominican style steak con onions ...delish ....cooked to perfection and the taste is just mouth watering

They have a very nice mofongo . Get the one with shrimp .

Great music . Try the flan , one of the best I've had! If you're on a health kick, fresh papaya juice is fantastic

Awesome happy hour . Weekdays 4-7. $1 empanadas $3 beer & $5 sangria .

Really enjoy both the red sangria and the white sangria .

Food is great service is great and decor is right on..prospect heights we have a winner!!!!

Amazingly cheap for the food and quality atmosphere. The hot sauce is homemade and insanely good.

Great family-owned Dominican spot. Burger is killer, as is the palomilla steak . Happy hour 4-7 daily, $3 beers $1 empanadas .

Seriously delicious, and reasonably priced. $2 for amazing amazing empanadas . I loved the pork chops and tres leches dessert .
