“The ambiance is busy with a ton of decorations that can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but after a while, it felt like a festive atmosphere”

I was really disappointed with my visit to this restaurant.
We came here based off the previous review and please don’t believe everything you read. This place is way over rated.

“I came here because n a Sunday night with my two best friends.”
I came here because n a Sunday night with my two best friends. We shared a lovely dinner, celebrating my 27th birthday, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Here at Pueblito Viejo, everything from the service, to the scenic dancing, the lively music and the utmost attentive hospitality you could ask for, was beyond what I could’ve imagined it would be. Come here!! You won’t regret it.

The prices are very reasonable, but who cares about the price when your food is perfectly prepared and the drinks are undeniably good til the last sip! Don't just take my word, just go and enjoy! You can thank me later! 🙏

Went in during lunch when it’s a little quieter but this is definitely a unique place you could never guess what’s inside if you walk by. The steak was cooked more than the doneness I wanted but the marinade and the tenderness more than compensated for it! Delicious meat the sides were a little underwhelming however

Authentic. First and foremost. If you want a taste of Colombia then come here. Low cost and amazing food/drinks. Will absolutely be back with my future mother in law whom is from Colombia to get her opinion. Little cramped, but otherwise it's perfect!

“1st time here and it was a 2 hour wait.”
1st time here and it was a 2 hour wait. It was mother's day! So the food was worth the the wait. The food and drinks are delicious. Now food based on pictures were a little different from what we got but again it was mother's day. The food was very tasteful and the d4inks were absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back again. We had 2 churrasco and 3 bandeja pueblito. To drink we had piña coladas, Heineken, 1 coco mojito, 1 regular mojito, margarita de maracuya and 1 caipirnha. Our server was Carlos and he did an excellent job making sure everyone at the table was happy, thank you Carlos!
