“Took my mom here for her birthday and we were amazed at how warm and inviting this place was from the beginning. We were seated right away and the food didn’t take long to be served. We started with the Empanada de Camaron. Very juicy and delicious. Now the main course was even better! I had grilled shrimp with rice and beans. Can’t forget the Avocado! I didn’t leave any crumbs. So glad I was introduced to this place. Will definitely be coming back.”

“I went to El Viejo Fred and honestly it was really good. The food tasted fresh and had a lot of flavor. I tried the mofongo and it was probably my favorite thing—it was seasoned really well and the portion was big too. The place itself felt chill and the people working there were nice and respectful. The food didn’t take too long to come out, which I liked. It’s a good spot if you’re just trying to eat something good without it being too fancy.”
