    This is a really fun restaurant. The decor is definitely unique and literally there are random decorations everywhere. The food was really good, we both enjoyed our dishes and arepas. The service was also very welcoming and fast. We will definitely return with friends. If anyone is looking for some solid Colombian food, this is a good place in South Florida.

    My family and I were craving Colombian food. We have heard a lot of good things about this place so we decided to give it a try. Went with my family on a Sunday night. They had live karaoke, the servers were very attentive and the food was delicious. The decorations all over the roof were so cool to look at. The ambiance was a nice change compared to all of the other restaurants in Miami.

    I learned about this place when Infatuation Magazine published a list of the thirteen most unique dining experiences in the country and this was one of the thirteen. I had passed it many times on Bird Road but had no idea what was inside. Tonight I ate there with two friends and we all loved it. The ambiance and decor is absolutely unique and incredibly fun and festive. It’s hard to describe but suffice it to say it has to be experienced to be understood. Our food was simple but extremely well executed and tasty, the service was excellent and the ambiance made a fun experience even more fun. At one point two comedians travelled around the room singing about people at each table and it was good fun. Later in the evening people starting dancing in the dance area and everybody was having a great time. We are lucky to have such a distinctive place in Miami.

    We love coming to this restaurant. Bandeja Paisa is delicious. The place is very festive and the servers are very friendly. The only thing I did not like was being forced to pay for valet when my parking space was literally right in front of the the front entrance of the restaurant.

    The place is excellent, but the wait worst it. It is a great environment for family and celebrating any occasion. I enjoy the show. The food is delicious. Also, They put on all types of music so you can dance the whole night.

    I recently visited Pueblito Viejo for the first time, and I must say, the food was really good! The flavors really hit the spot. The atmosphere is lively, especially during evenings and weekends, so it might not be the quietest place for a peaceful meal. However, it's perfect for celebrations and gatherings. The decor adds to the fun vibe. The only downside was the service, but I can understand that they might be busy. Overall, a great spot for a casual and enjoyable dining experience!

    Great place to enjoy a latin escape from the every day restaurants. We had a great time dancing and enjoying the ambiance... It's a great way to start off your night before hitting the party bars... Actually you might not want to leave...lol.

    Music too loud. Could not carry on a conversation. Food was not quality and presentation was terrible. We were not even given water. Expensive not worth it. I hate when an establishment charges me a tip. I have always tipped based on quality of service not on what an establishment thinks I should give.

    So this restaurant is labeled as “Colombian” and the appearance is indeed Colombian but almost everyone who works there is Cuban and the whole vibe and feel is way more Cuban then anything else. From the music to the staff and even the way the food is prepared resembles more La Carreta Cuban restaurant then a Colombian spot. Still a decent place but if your looking for a more authentic Colombian restaurant there are better options. (Parece más como un restaurante Cubano que Colombiano)

    The place is very nice, different we really like it. But it is a bit priced on the high side for not to much food. And they serve you to fast, like running maybe they want you to eat and leave I didn't understand that part. Atmosphere was very nice.

    I love Pueblito Viejo! The vibes are always so fun. Every night turns into a dance party on the dance floor. The music is loud (I love it) and everyone’s smiling and it is my favorite place to go out to dinner. They have live singers on the weekends that make my jaw drop for. If you haven’t gone, you’ve been missing out!

    One of my favorite restaurants in Miami. I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pueblito Viejo a Columbian restaurant, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for a memorable experience. The staff was incredibly attentive and greeted me with genuine smiles. Now let's talk about the food. Every dish that graced my table was a masterpiece. The flavors were exquisite, and the presentation was nothing short of art. It was evident that the chefs poured their heart and soul into each plate, using only the freshest ingredients.

    This place is just spectacular! Everything is great in this restaurant. The host was very nice and courteous, the entertainment is amazing, you have nice latin music in the background, then live artist performing different shows, and last but not least, the most important the food, is really good and prices are really reasonable, most items in the menu are well priced and delicious. The waiter was also great, nice, quick and welcoming. My only complain is the valet parking $6 which I think is expensive considering the size of the parking lot and the area. Other than that, i highly recommend it to everyone, a place for all ages with entertainment for adults and children. I loved this place!

    This place is the joint for home made Colombian food. The decorations are so authentic and beautiful. The food was excellent. The skirt steak was tender with lots of flavor. The rice and the red beans were very good. The chicken soup was right on point.

    What a fun place! The decor is over the top with decorations and lights hanging from the cieling. The service is prompt, friendly and attentive. The food and drinks are outstanding. We had the house tequilas and a pina colada. For dinner it was the bandeja pueblito viejo, the picada pueblito viejo and the cerdo empanizado. We were too stuffed for dessert.

    I took my dad on his birthday and it we had a great time. The snapper was my favorite dish and the piñas coladas, they have a lot of choices but the only thing that I didn’t like it’s they didn’t let us change the sides of the plates.

    Delicious food, friendly staff and good music what else can i ask for! The owner is always very welcoming and makes sure everyone is having a good time i live this place!

  • 5/5 Bryan L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to come with friends and family, it’s always a fun time they play Spanish music and all the classics. They even have a dance floor and karaoke. Great places for pictures too.

  • 5/5 Ryan F. 6 months ago on Google
    The food is delicious here! If you want a quiet meal come here early and you'll find that the service is fast and the food is amazing. If you want a party atmosphere come here after 8 especially on the weekends and you'll be lucky if you can find a spot to park. The nightlife at Puerto Viejo is amazing, usually with live entertainment and music.

    Had a great time celebrating grandpa birthday.. incredible service and tasty food.. and the entertainment is hilarious.. the margarita with corona was very good

  • 5/5 Carlos G. 4 months ago on Google
    Really fun restaurant/bar in Tampa. Clearly modeled after Colombia's famous "Andrés Carne de Res". They have music and a dance floor and awesome decor. The bandeja paisa was good, but the chorizo and chicharrón were underwhelming. The steak made up for it. Fun stop.

  • 5/5 Cinthya c. 1 year ago on Google
    Went on Thursday night and I loved it. Live interactive music. Felt so good I thought it was Saturday. Quality food. Fast service. Awesome waiters. Price was OK. Very Colombian. Unique experience and decor. Won't dissapoint.

    The very first time that I visit this restaurant and I loved it, the food, the entertainment and the decor was just perfect. I had a great time. The service was perfect.

  • 4/5 Yamile R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great restaurant, food and ambiance. Not rating 5 stars because one of my guests was wearing a jersey and was turned away. Thankfully, we had an extra shirt in the car. Never knew their was a dress policy to go have lunch with your family.

    Beautiful decorations, service was great, we didn’t like the soup not the meat
