I was in the mood for Dominican food. I did a quick search and this place was around and opened…read more I wanted something fast and not really a sit down so this place was something I was looking for. My Buddy tagged along for the ride and he ordered a passion fruit milkshake. his drink took longer to make than the last to scoop my stewed rib with rice and plantain platter. the ladies behind the counter were really nice. it would help if you know Spanish. They did not even try to take our order in English but it was no big deal for us. just point and answer with si si si si and you're good to go. I paid with cash not sure if CC is accepted. I knew I was going to bring my lunch back to work but there's no seating inside. there's a counter you can sorta dine inside if needed. I think the menu is organized by the day of the week. I want to find out when they make stewed oxtails.

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!

I came here while passing through Staten Island, avoiding the congestion on the expressway. 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.

Caught them at the Just Jersey food truck festival last weekend. Tried the chicken empanadas and…read morethey were pretty good. Nice size portions etc, however, it was the start of the event and the truck had no sour cream. That's literally the one thing we eat these with, so they offered us a similar version of sour cream with some kind of crema mixed in, but it was too spicy for my kid, so she wasn't a fan and therefore, couldn't finish her food. I def think SC is something the truck making Latin food should keep on hand! It's pretty common.
