Dined at La Puerta Roja in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn, NYC, tonight. We were a party of 8 and they were…read moreable to seat us right away. They've got indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating is very interesting and eclectic with great Latin American music. Note: between the music & people speaking, it is difficult to converse with others in the restaurant on a Friday night. So, I was impressed they could seat a large table like us with no notice right away on a Friday night. The service was fantastic coming by frequently and being very patient as the large party decided on what they want. Impressively, all the food was brought out within 2 minutes to everyone at the table at the correct temperature. EVERYONE was raving about their food! I had the steak sandwich (peppers, vegetables, spicy mayo, etc.) with some of the best french fries I've had in ages! I think they were hand cut. The sandwich had a smoky and kicked up flavor. Reminded me of a Chilean chacarero sandwich with the flavor palette. My water was never empty (they refilled often when I was not looking). Portion sizes were huge! Most of us ended up taking our entries home (no one ordered apps). The majority of the table ordered tacos and the fish ones seemed to be the favorite. Everything is priced quite well especially for this part of Brooklyn. My sandwich was only $19! Note: large parties pay an automatic 20% gratuity. Super close to bus lines and only a few blocks from the subway with decent street parking (metered or free). Of course, I biked here and had bike racks right there. I can NOT wait to come again!!!!! Even better, have the 2nd half of my sandwich for lunch tomorrow.

Excellent prices even for protein plates made us think they would be much smaller sizes. Service was excellent and quick. The only thing I would change was with this being a fusion restaurant the croquetas weren't the typical style I like for tapas, but if you like a drier crunchier potato style you might like them. The Paloma drink was delicious and they were able to add a Tajin rim that I asked for so make sure to ask because they have it just not on the menu! The melted candle decor added a romantic ambiance feel to the overall setting that made for a great date night!
