Pueblito Viejo

I took my mom and family to this establishment for Mother's Day, and we had an absolute blast. We had a large party, and made sure to arrive early on a Sunday because as you can imagine it gets busy.When we parked, I was glad they had valet, which takes the guest work out of arriving and leaving so that was cool.We were at the door and sat promptly, which is also nice, and despite the crowd celebrating moms on their special day, the service did not suffer on the contrary everything from the taking of the order to the delivery to the follow up was on point .The food was amazing per usual for this location and moderately priced, considering the amount of servings and the quality that went into the ingredients . The first thing you noticed, when you walk in the wall decor in the ambience, which gives you so much to enjoy while conversing and eating .There were 'trobadores' which are pretty much entertainers that go to the table singing in a folkloric vallenato style about the folks at the table. They don't roast you, lol don't worry. But it was the highlight of the meal and definitely added to the authenticity and experience at the restaurant. Anyone who has traveled to Colombia knows that these folks live to liven a party. Was a fantastic experience, and I highly encourage anyone to go and try the food whether it's a special occasion or not

Please if you are reading this considered your self warned. Do not come to this place if you are looking for an authentic Colombian fare. This place reminded me of the little red riding hood. When the wolf dresses up as the sweet grandmother to deceive (LRRH). So be careful don't get eaten by the wolf. This place is a dump. It was many years ago when it was a Cuban theme and same name( came here back in 99-2000) but sadly and it still is a dump with its new "Colombian" face to it.The food was mediocre at best. It tasted like hate and regret, like meal your ex-wife would cook for you on your death bed, But may be I am getting a-little ahead of my self. Le me start again. It starts from where you first drive in.they barricade you, not kidding and tell you that they have a mandatory valet parking. When is just a parking lot 5feet away from the main side entrance. It was $6 which ended being (10$) with tip. The valet guys rudely told me that if I didn't like I could park somewhere else but ran the risk of being towed. Alittle voice in my head told me he was going to call the towing truck him self so we soon surrender our vehicle. it was a bad first impression right from the start. I should taken that as a sign. But hey I warned you twice now, so if you have read this far may be you should head back to a real Colombian restaurant. Ok. I'll skip alittle of this first impression experience and jump to the end of it. To make matters worse when you exit the restaurant, they don't get the car for you. They hand you the keys for you to get the car your self. Unlucky for me there is a storm as I am currently writing this review so it was raining. So Go figure. Again what dump of an establishment. To be fair prices were not exuberant. That's why the one star and because I couldn't choose no star. Portions were decent but again food lacked flavor and didn't taste like the Colombian flavors I am used to getting at a Colombian restaurant. Which brings me to my next point. I find Colombian people to be very nice and attentive, very hospitable. This place is was not that. Again if you have been engaged in my review you can kind of tell where the staff was from. Now the ambiance, the place was sensory overload. I kind of knew what it looked like since I saw the same exciting videos on instagram that I am sure you watched too, but this was no cirque du soleil it was more like the Spanish version of Alice and wonderland, "Alicia se perdió en Antioquía"Ok enough!!!Now on a serious note please save your self from this lame experience. If you love your family or your significant other. Don't bring them here. Even more if you are expecting Colombian flavors.

The service is what dropped the star rating. We had a young lady who had the absolute worst attitude in all languages. She didn't want to be the ere let alone serve our table of 6. Ultimately we were able to get served food drinks and all. Music was nice with the videos playing. About 4 birthdays were celebrated so it's nice but I wouldn't say it was an authentic Colombian experience. I don't think I will be back.

What an awesome restaurant. But you must make reservations on Wednesday at 4pm. If you want to go on the weekend the place gets packed. We stayed for the 8pm show and it was hilarious. Highly recommend. The food and the drinks were all delicious.

The place is very nice and unique! There's all type of decorations on the walls and even the ceiling. We went on a Saturday night and the wait outside was about 2 hours before we got seated. But it was worth the wait with how yummy the drinks were and the food! However, our waiter did not make it the best experience. Had an attitude and seemed to be irritated with anything asked or suggested. Her name was Veronica and she was lucky that tip was already included if not we were not going to leave her 18%. We were a big party and I believe that's when the best service should be provided.

The place is nice. But OJO!! Los precios que dicen aquí, no son los mismos que te cobran. Pilas!! Miren la cuenta y revisen el menú antes de pagar.

This place is a fantastic experience. The decorations on the ceiling are above and beyond creative and unique. The food is even better than the overall vibe of this place, authentic Colombia food. The servers and the entertainment make the place feel lively.

Loved the decoration all over the restaurant. The service was up to par...very nice and helpful. They play music all the way time but in the weekend it's better cause they have people dancing and performing. The arepas were yummy, the Gordita with plantain, cheese and chicharron (omg one of my fave). The bandeja de carne was the hit in my table. We had salad as well and kids had nuggets with French fries. I can't wait to go back again

Pueblito Viejo, muchas gracias por la experiencia! Even with my limited Spanish, I laughed with the crowd during the performance by the two funny and talented musicians. Everyone looked happy and relaxed. Some customers stood up and danced. What a lively and fun atmosphere! I took so many photos inside and outside the restaurant. However, Yelp only allows 10 to be posted. The moment you arrive, you'll see colors and details that make this place unique. The traditional look and the unique pieces they have on display make this restaurant a standout. I got busy taking in all the details from the ceilings to the leather chairs and all the things that reflect their culture and traditions. Truly remarkable! The service is fantastic. They're very helpful with recommendations and are patient and very friendly. Hats off to these guys! I loved the cocktails which came beautifully made and tasted strong, tasty and refreshing. The fish stew was absolutely delicious and so was the everything in the huge plate of pork, sausage, plantains and potatoes. We couldn't finish the bandeja, it's too big so we had to get it to go. I'm looking forward to visiting Miami again and dining out at Pueblito Viejo again. To anyone looking for a great dining experience while in Miami, check this place out!

We had a great time at Pueblito Viejo. Everything was amazing not only the food but the staff were very friendly too. I love the decor of this place, it feels like home.
