Jose seemed to be doing everything that night, bartender, waiter, hostess. There were two other people there when we arrived, others came later on. The Lemon drop was pretty tasty. I enjoyed my spicy octopus, the sauce had a nice kick to it. However the plantain chips that accompanied the octoous was not good. They had no salt, garlic, no taste to it at all. It tasted like stale store brought chips. The place is pretty big, with pretty flowers hanging from the ceiling.

Service can be slow at times to be honest, so just know what kind of vibe you're entering.

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.

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!

There are also some sides available. I always got oxtail. It's good, but a bit pricey for the amount of meat you get. Others have ordered the pepper steak before and the portions for that are great. The rice is definitely on the salty side, but is good overall. I do appreciate that the lady working there is always generous with pouring extra sauce on our rice as well. We also tried the tres leches during our last visit and would get it again. It had the perfect texture and sweetness.

Whether it's the lunch special or a regular meal they give u two tiny pieces of chicken or very few pieces of meat. It is really a joke. Every Spanish place I know of gives you so much rice and a huge piece of chicken or meat. And the lady who is in there during lunch has an attitude and no personality. This place is not worth it and I won't be coming back again. I just paid $17 dollars and got a small platter with rice and beans and she was super cheap on the beans and the pepper steak I got was like three pieces in the tray. I paid for all rice. Do not come here. I would recommend against it unless you like wasting your money.
