Pueblo Viejo Grill

Very popular, very hip, very crowded, very noisy, very small restaurant, excellent food. On a Saturday evening, our first time here, with no reservations we were told 40 minute wait to be seated. We waited 45. After being seated we were told kitchen is busy so expect a delay. I don’t know how long we waited. It was worth the wait. Our enchiladas and taco were great! The enchiladas were smothered in enchilada sauce just the way we like them. We hate dry enchiladas. The chicken taco was crunchy and very flavorful. Rice and beans were exquisite. Everything was cooked to perfection and served at the correct temperature, not too hot and not too cold on very hot plates. A word about the staff - hostess and waiter, initially, were unfriendly and matter-of-fact stressed by the overload of work from an overcrowded restaurant. After 9 pm, when all customers, who were waiting, were finally seated, we finally got a smile and a friendly word from our waiter. On our way out we thanked the hostess and got her to smile and be friendly. Would we do this again??? Yes we would!

I liked the atmosphere, the bar area is nice to have a beer and appetizers, they do have a happy hour menu from 3-5pm. The food was OK not bad not super good, it was just OK. The service was good. The food its not authentic mexican food, but more like mex-american. We will be back to try other dishes and see how we feel about it. A+ on the rice it was cooked on point and fluffy.
