I enjoyed my spicy octopus, the sauce had a nice kick to it. However the plantain chips that accompanied the octoous was not good. They had no salt, garlic, no taste to it at all.

Service can be slow at times to be honest, so just know what kind of vibe you're entering.

The staff are incredibly welcoming and really go out of their way to make her birthday feel special. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and creating a great atmosphere.

It's become a little birthday tradition for our family, and we'll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food and a warm, friendly place to celebrate!!!

I stumbled upon this place, searching through yelp. I'm glad we found a new spot to give a try !…read moreVery cute ambiance and service was good . So basically they have a very large hot bar that you can select different meats and rice along with the sides. They make you a plate or pack it to go. Everything we had was full of flavor . I had the arroz and Pernil along with small dish of oxtails and lechon . My husband got the chicken and rice . Even though everything was super tasty the only down fall was my food wasn't hot , not sure if they turned down the temp down on the hot table my food was more lukewarm then hot which was slightly disappointing. The taste made up for it though.

We ordered the pernil and rice platter, the bistec salteado, a shrimp mofongo, a kids chicken tender meal, and a couple pastellios to start. Everything was so flavorful and mostly cooked to order, including the kids meal. The decor is also gorgeous inside, rooted in Puerto Rican and Taino culture. We really enjoyed our meal and experience, and they even sent us off with a couple alcapurrias on the house! We're gonna try to stop back in again before we leave, can't recommend this place enough!

I…read moreordered a large pernil, thinking I was getting a large plate, with rice and beans, and another side. However, they proceeded to fill-up a large plate, which they weighed by the pound. I actually had to tell them to remove half, but like the concept of paying by pound for a protein. The pernil was excellent. I ordered a small salad, which came in a coffee cup. It was over drenched with dressing. I also ordered a small rice and beans, which never made it into my bag. I will definitely return with a better game plan.

I was told they were focused on catering that day, which seemed to limit what they could offer walk-in customers for lunch.

It doesn't feel crowded. I've been to El Viejo Fred twice and both times did not disappoint. The first time I accompanied my Dominican friend who ordered for me. The second time I was on my own, but the ladies were very helpful and we made it happen. Most of the food is behind the counter in a covered buffet-style setup. You let them know what you are interested in, beef, chicken etc, and they'll show you the offerings. You can't beat their lunch special at around $12-15. You get a giant portion of rice & meat, add on a bit of salad and you're good to go! The food is so delicious, the flavors are all there. I also had the chicken and cheese empanadas as well as beef and both tasted great, I liked the beef best it was very well seasoned. Another bonus? Tamarind juice!! Not many places have it so I'm always ecstatic when I see it on a menu. Both my friend and I really enjoyed the food we purchased from El Viejo Fred, and the friendly service we received, we will definitely be back!

There are also some sides available. I always got oxtail. It's good, but a bit pricey for the amount of meat you get. Others have ordered the pepper steak before and the portions for that are great. The rice is definitely on the salty side, but is good overall. I do appreciate that the lady working there is always generous with pouring extra sauce on our rice as well.
