El Viejo Yayo Restaurant on 9td in Brooklyn

I wouldn’t order from here again. The food was very expensive and the quality of food was not on the same standard. Definitely avoid if you’ve not eaten here before and are hoping to find a hidden gem.

Nop never again my family an I just left out from there. The waitress was on top of us kept asking if we ready when we kept telling her our party isn’t here yet. But just started standing there. Like a hawk. Then we eating and the staff is all in your face. They must have rushed up like 5 times. Then that 2 check min is a joke. Trying to calculate everything then having the staff all down your neck was annoying. The food was dry you can tell it was reheated in the microwave. The mash potatoes was instant. No gravy. The ginger ale tasted like imitation Canada Dry. I wish I can give this place no star.

Got very sick with their food very bad stomach pains and bad case of diarrhea the mangu was old and bad. Guess what I really got very sick very bad we all did myself, my sister and her husband and the service was terrible. We wanted breakfast but the lady that service us said that breakfast was over . And if we wanted mango we needed to wait we waited . Still no water at the table or the utensils for eating we waited very long as we were watching other people got better service than we did everyone getting their food and us still waiting . Finally came you mangu did not taste well. If they notice we pay for food that we did not eat that is how bad it was. Sorry but be realistic. All three of us got sick.

Went there for my mother's birthday. Total of 5 of us including a toddler. Great food and cozy atmosphere. Staff is nice.

Amazing food and great atmosphere..

I adore this restaurant! They serve excellent meals, they have a rich menu, The cook in that spot is very experienced, I love very much tasting all their food. The dishes are always good, the service towards the guests is agreeable. I often eat in this restaurant and I not even once was unhappy. I recommend this place.

So disappointed. Dined here last year and food was fine. Took my Dad here for Father’s Day last Sunday, steak was bland and tasteless, shrimp was salty, crab cakes looked like a plopped mess on the plate, pork chops were nearly burnt and dry. Not one of us enjoyed our meals. I will not dine here again or recommend this place.

The food was great and so was the frozen margarita I had. Absolutely no skimping on the alcohol. I ordered the pork chop and it was seasoned nicely. I also had the seafood rice... excellent! The best was the octopus salad! The staff was friendly and attentive. I will definitely go back again.

I go to this restaurant often. There food is outstanding. There food is also at a resonable price. Friendly staff. It is a great for a enjoyable family outing. My family and I will definitely be returning. If I could I would give 10 stars.

Good food. Great customer service.

The food was DELICIOUS and fast service. Food was hot, just I like it.

Came here the other day since my son was craving rice and beans. Food was pretty ok he had white rice and red beans and fried boneless chicken which were pretty flavorful, the restaurant was clean, the only downside is the customer service even though the waitress was very nice, she was working by herself counter and dinning room, but overall a good experience.

The decor of this restaurant is dated and the service was slow since only one waitress working during lunch hour. However, the food is so tasty same as the drinks. We definitely like their paella it’s the best one we had so far in Brooklyn. It’s our first time to try Mofongo we sure like it very much also.

nothing like the old yayo's from years ago

I’m very picky with food. I loved the food in this place. Awesome

Great spot for road side dining. The wait staff is super sweet.

Food was great the place is small but enough tables for alot of people , alot of options for a good reasonable price

Excellent food and great atmosphere. I stayed here comfortably with my friends and didn't feel rush out and enjoyed the company. 😍😍😍😍

Great traditional Latin food

I loved it here! Great atmosphere and we loved the food, very fresh and delicious to say the least. Amazing bachata music as well💛

Amazing. Great food, fantastic service.

Great space, helpful staff, and the best arroz con pollo I've ever had. Stop reading; go there now!

Its great food delicious and the price is right everyone needs to go here

The food is fabulous. My favorite is the shrimp mozingo, bit their oxtails are phenomenal as well!🤤🤤🤤

Went with family yesterday. I ordered a chicken soup & their chicken mofongo. Mofongo was dry and bland. The sauce it came with was really good but it was so dry it still didn't moisten it enough. Soup was ok. My cousin's ordered a shrimp mofongo and that looked bangin. Cousin said it was really good

One my favorite places for Delicious latin food! +E Recording Artist-Edwin Vazquez

Homestyle Latin cooking in casual surroundings. My Mom liked the pastel.

Hate to give a bad review, maybe I was there on an off night but the food was noticeably off. The bbq sauce tasted a bit soapy - which is a weird comment but a weirder taste. Apologies too el viejo but just not my best dining experience in park slope. Worth a second try but not my favorite place I’ve been around here

Amazing latín cuisine.... I highly recommend the mondongo soup, tostones, bistec encebollado(steak w/onions) and rabito guisado(oxtail stew).. delicioso!!!

It's ok for a quick bite

Just the beat food ever! LOVE IT

The sevice was excellent. The food was just as great as the service. This was my first time there and I will return.

Authentic Puerto Rican food. Very family oriented local and great service.

I have been there several times in the past. This time we all strayed from the standard chicken rice and beans. This Dominican Restaurant is located in the heart of Park Slope. The food have the wonderful flavors of the Islands. We had a wonderful time and the wait staff was really nice. Food was reasonably priced. Bathroom was really clean. There was no wait and they took reservations.

Good food excellent prices the bar has a nice ambience it’s definitely worth a go

Best spanish food in parkslope been goin here for over 10 years its a staple in the neighborhood fresh delicious food

Good food nice.

The worst food I ever had! Disgusting not even my dog will eat it. I gave it one star because is no zero.

I ordered from here alllll the time. And got talked into the 5$ margs for happy hour a few times. The staff is very friends and always trying to make conversation. Love this place!
