I got 2 empanadas, a beef & chorizo, they were pretty big, but not extremely large for $4.25 each. I also got a papa rellana (the daily special), and some tamales. Everything was was pretty good, but expensive, considering my job is in a predominately Hispanic area. They sell empanadas down the block for $2 each. Honestly, I don't know if I'd patron this food truck again.

I've ordered takeout many times and always sing the restaurants praises about the food and the portions. Always have enough for a second day. Not this time! Not to mention the prices nudged up a little. The website had one price and I was charged another for the pernil. I'll still patronize them because I like the food.

I was told they were focused on catering that day, which seemed to limit what they could offer walk-in customers for lunch. I left a bit disappointed but did takeaway a chicken empanada, which came with hot sauce. It was decent, though I would've preferred a green sauce or mayo-ketchup as the default.

We ordered flan and bread pudding twice because it was so good. Overall the cafe is also cute and has a dainty pink theme.

There was a small line and we ordered the breakfast and beef empanadas Both were so flavor and there was a lot of filling. I honestly wished this placed had more items on the menu as I would love to try a platter with rice.

I was too tired/sleepy to write a review after I ate. I will definitely return, maybe I'll give 'family style' a try.

I decided to give this place a try after seeing a TikToker's review. When we got there, my husband…read morementioned that the food didn't quite look the same as what was shown in the videos, and I have to agree. However, the flavors were definitely there, which is what matters most. I tried the alcapurria, and while it was decent, I've had better. The chicken inside was a little dry and could have used more seasoning and flavor. On the other hand, the chicken empanada was really good. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and had a nice seasoned taste that stood out. That's definitely something I would order again. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of my lunch, but I also ordered pernil with rice and gandules, as well as baked chicken with rice and gandules. As someone who loves pernil, I have to say that Puerto Ricans make some of the best pernil. It's always well-seasoned, flavorful, and tastes clean rather than overly greasy. The pernil here did not disappoint. The rice and gandules were also very good. While it doesn't quite compare to my husband's aunt's homemade version, it was still packed with flavor and complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would come back to try more items from the menu. If you're in the area and craving Puerto Rican food, I think it's worth giving this place a try.

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!

We ordered two margaritas during happy hour (Monday-Thursday, 11 AM-5 PM) and they were solid, especially at 50% off. The bartender was clearly juggling a lot but still managed to keep the drinks coming and the service pleasant. Unfortunately, the food didn't match the start. After waiting about 30 minutes for our bandeja paisa and already feeling pretty hungry, we ordered beef and chicken empanadas to hold us over. They were flavorful and came out fairly quickly. When our entrées finally arrived, both steaks were cold and overcooked despite requesting medium. The chicharrón lacked seasoning, the rice was cold, and the beans were underwhelming. Overall, the service at the bar was fine, but the long wait and disappointing entrées took away from the experience. At $28 per dish, I expected better quality and temperature. While the discounted cocktails were a plus, the food simply did not justify the price and we probably won't be coming back even though we live nearby.
