Casa Vieja

We ordered beef empanadas with our order. They were not enjoyable at all. I didn't like the taste of the burnt cornmeal dough, nor did I like the texture that tasted gritty, and I didn't like the beef filling. I won't be buying it again. Additionally, they used to give you good portions of food. The prices have risen and the portions have shrunk. I am totally dissatisfied

I visited this restaurant with my aunt, she's likes the beef empanadas they make, I tried the salmon and it was delicious and well cooked, everything look like an old Colombian house which is the theme of the place. I think that their customer service should improve a lot.

Everyone is rarely home at the same time so we decided to have a family dinner at Casa Vieja. I believe Dennis was our server and he did a good job handling our large group. I had the La Milanesa which is a breaded beef steak that comes with French fries. I washed that down with a couple of glasses of Sangria. It was an enjoyable meal and I would come again to try something else.

Fresh and tasty Latin food. Decor was also pleasant. I think this will be my spot for now on.

Food was delicious, exactly what i was craving for.

This place is awesome!! This is the second time I came here with my son. Great service great food. The amount of food they give you is unbelievable, a feast!!!

Made me feel right at home🥰 Sharing this food with my friends and family was wonderful. Mofongo, Chicharrón, Arepas, Empandas, Maduro, Bandeja Paisa, all so delicious. Their rice was so delicious. I grew up eating Colombian and it was just an overall very comforting experience. Must try restaurant!

This is one of my favorite places to go for Spanish food. The service is great and the food is flavorful. My favorite spot for the last 27 years!!!

From my first visit over 24 years ago... consistency and quality does not waiver. From my fave starter; arepas blanco con queso... make sure you ask for some aji to add a lil kick. A nice refajo to wash it down and then my constant and fave dish, La bandeja casa vieja. Not sure what they marinate the chicken in but oh Lawdy.... Heaven My fiancé had the #6- chicken enchiladas. All he kept saying was the (black) beans were "on fire" he loved them. Many if not most entrees served with rice and beans and my dish, sweet plantain. Private parking - conveniently located on the corner so access from Pine Aire or Brentwood Road. Priced accordingly, Spanish AND English spoken so no need to fret. But go for it... practice your college Spanish 101 . Buen provecho

Went here today with my boyfriend great service food came out quick was seated very quick delicious food and dessert definitely recommend

I took my senior citizen friend there for her birthday. What a charming & beautifully decorated restaurant! The food was amazing, the service was excellent, and I loved where they sat us right by the window. The service was right on time. VERY ATTENTIVE! They even sang happy birthday to her and brought her a delicious dessert. I had Carne Asada and she ordered paella and we had lots of leftovers. For appetizers we had arepa de choclo and aguacate relleno which was absolutely delicious. Loved loved loved this place. Will definitely return!

We used to eat here all the time, but we moved further away, so it's been a while & we decided to stop by for an early dinner. Every dish from our empanada appetizer to my daughter's Argentinian steak (cooked perfectly rare, my husband's chicken fajitas (excellent) and my Bandeja Paisa (so yummy!) was cooked to perfection, tasty and a huge portion size for the prices. We all brought home leftovers. The wait staff was great, they kept our waters filled & brought more chips & salsa without being asked. Excellente!! Reminded us we need to come back more often.

Great food, authentic flavors, nice prices. Friendly service. Will definitely be back.

I love this place ! I don't come here often anymore because we don't live close by anymore. But today we took the 20min for pick up& oh good thing we did! The service is always amazing. All the staff are friendly & attentive. The food is delicious, anything on the menu is so good! Definitely plan on coming back& I recommend anyone to do so too!

We arrived with a group of 16 and actually all enjoyed the food. However, most of us ended up with food poisoning and had to contact the department of health.

LOVE IT HERE. The food is always piping hot, fresh, and full of undeniable flavor. This visit, I had the Camarones Encendidos! The sauce was as blessed as holy water and I want to put it on everything. As a matter of fact, dipping slices of fried yuca in it was absolutely heavenly. Not pictured but equally important, is the pomegranate martini that completed my meal in a way I can't explain. On top of all that, the service is always wonderful which truly makes for a perfect dining experience. Be sure to visit Casa Vieja, you won't regret it.

Rip off. $25. NEVER AGAIN. 1 pound of rice. Some dry unsavory meat. 1 fried plantain. 1 egg. Some beans. And barely some meat in the chicharrón. That is what they call Bandeja Paisa (tipica) igualitos a Pollos Mario. These restaurants are full of BS.

Racist!!! This guy particular. I came to the restaurant at 9pm one day last week and he refused to serve me saying the kitchen was closed. In a rude nasty attitude. He said due to the pandemic the kitchen closes at 9pm and that they used to be open until 10pm. Mind you the Internet, the sign and the menu says they close at 10pm. THEN today I went there at 8:30pm, the minute I walked in he was looking at me weird, followed me and said the kitchen closes in 5 minutes. I said ok and literally one minute later at 8:31pm he comes and tells me the kitchen was closed. He was happily servicing the other customers. He is a racist asshole and I will not be supporting this business and will be spreading the word about this place.

I think their menu is too big and their food is basic... their food is basic Hispanic food flavor... they cut corners just to pass... the seafood is disgusting and the only thing that was kinda good was the Sangria... also the place smells really bad... I was getting nauseous from the smell... also I saw so much roaches coming from the radiators I wanted to leave but we were half way in our food and i couldn't wait for the check we left half our food on the table I couldn't... don't waist your Time nor money... people that come here doesn't know any better...

This was a roller coaster experience that overall was disappointing. The complimentary tortilla chips and salsa were below average, not homemade and just a swing and a miss. Now the pomegranate, banana and classic margaritas were a line drive in the gap and excellent. Our El Ceviche appetizer was basically shrimp smothered in a cocktail sauce on a plate, a single to RF and good. The roller coaster ride really hit on our 3 entrees the best being the beef and chicken fajitas a true home run over the fence in the right flavor, piping hot with sides of flour tortillas, guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo. My El Lechon Cubano with morro rice and fried plátanos was way way off and under seasoned. The lechón wasn't even close to what it's supposed to be, instead it was dry and sliced way too thin pork with zero juicy fat, what happened?? My Son had their signature Bandeja Platter that was also under seasoned, lacked depth of flavor and was just off. A huge disappointment and will not return.

HORRIBLE TOOK SO LONG AND NO FLAVOR did not like at all i would not recommend this! save your money i ordered for my family and it came out to 200! 200 for garbage food never coming back saw a rat run around the dining area

Just went for a Luncheon with 16 friends. 14 of these friends came down with food poisoning. 2 had to go to emergency room. Not sure what is going on, have been there before with no issues. Suffolk County Department of Health Services was called.

I love Casa Vieja! I'm in the area about once a month and always try to make it to Casa Vieja. I highly recommend the mofongo! It's huuuge and delicious. I've tried a lot of mofongos and this place hands down has my favorite. You will probably have to take some home (for an appetizer, portions are HUGE) but it is amazing. It only has one filling choice but it's so good so no complaints here. The yuca fries are also great. Again, portions are huge so come really hungry and prepared to take some home! Before the meal, they give you tortilla chips and salsa. The salsa is great and they give you tons. I always end up eating far too much of it. Come prepared to eat a lot. As far as the service goes, everyone is very friendly. Really recommend this place if you are in the area!

Great Spanish food Great Spanish music Quick Waiters Nice Spanish ambiance!!! Resturant is an actual house! Traditional food served

food is amazing all really good not even words can describe it, service is the besst so nice never got the orders wrong always making jokes making us laugh and more, and everything else is the best like always im actually just going there!

Let me start by saying their food is amazing . Great Spanish food done fresh to order and done right every single time. Tonight my wife and I had the salmon with veggies and wow we were impressed. We have had some other stuff also and it was delicious also. The owner is a great man him and his wife and his staff is super friendly. I come from Sayville and I travel to casa vieja for their delicious food. It's not pricey and you get a lot of food for your buck. Can't wait to visit again.

Had a fantastic time celebrating Mom's birthday with a delicious meal at Casa Vieja in Brentwood! We ordered a number of items off the menu: Mofongo, Beef Empanadas, La Arepa Con Queso, Papas Rellenas, Pork, Steak, Chicken, Taco Salad! The food was delicious and prices well, service was great. They have the best sangria! We got pitcher of red for the table. Certainly will be back again for another meal!

Home for the holidays and met up with some longtime friends and decided we were in the mood for some good Spanish food. This restaurant looks small from the outside but it was pretty spacious on the inside. It decorated for Christmas and it was dimly lit which created a very relaxing atmosphere. The salsa tasted very authentic and for all you Long Islanders who remember Meson Ole, it tasted similar to that. Three of us ordered Arroz Con Pollo (chicken and yellow rice) and my son ordered the chicken burritos with black beans and rice. The food was well seasoned and not over salted which can happen with Latino food. My son enjoyed his food and requested some hot sauce on the side. Unfortunately, it lacked the heat that he was wanting. In fact, there was no spiciness to it at all. Dessert; Figs and cheese and rice pudding. The guys love the pudding but the figs were how should I say...a little weird. I thought I was getting either fresh or dried figs. Instead, I got what appeared to be figs soaked in something that my taste buds were unable to identify. I should have asked for clarification before ordering, so that's on me. All in all, it was a great meal with great friends!

We went on Valentine's Day without making a reservation. So, we didnt mind waiting at the bar. We got a margarita each ($9.25 @), which was ok. Got to the table, ordered one more margarita for my wife and a mango juice for me (i had to drive). Ordered food, by now the crowd had thinned. 20 minutes. 25. 30 35. We both ordered the typical platter, so nothing weird. Just as i was about to leave, now 40 minutes, the food came. It was quite good, generous portions. Then the bill. Margarita - $10.50. A surcharge for the table? I paid by credit card. They added a surcharge of 3.5%. Nowhere did it say that would happen. Little things, but annoying. Excessive wait time. Additional charges. Nothing major, but i don't go out to be skimmed. Especially as their competition, literally around the corner, doesnxt do any of this. I doubt we'll be back.

I've passed by this place thousands of times and one day, just decided to stop in. So glad I did!!! The food is so good and flavorful and the portions are huge! Got the pitcher of margarita, definitely worth every penny. Ended the night with some fried ice cream! Couldn't ask for anything more!

First off AMAZING food !!! The ambiance is so cute with all the dimmed lights and Christmas's decor right now. The service was great , always checking in. The sangria taste like a pitcher is needed not just a glass . definitely a place to come back again. Food exceeded my expectations as it was my first time there.

The food and the service was phenomenal! You will not be disappointed! Plenty of food!

Don Dionicio fue muy rudo al contestar cuando le pregunté que corte de steak tienen y me dijo "de burro" hablé con el encargado y me dijo que el sabe bien quien es esa persona y que no es la primera vez que tiene esa clase de quejas. Que mal para el restaurante ... perderá mucho más clientela si este mesero no cambia de actitud. Jamás regresaré a ese restaurante, prefiero ir a mi Tierrita restaurante. Este señor espero que llegue a tomar unas clases de atención al público antes que otra cosa pase

Servici pésimo. Pelean por la propina cuando no la merecen y lo persiguen a uno asta el carro para que les de una extra propina. No atienden pronto. Tomo 20 minutos para que nos tomaran la orden y otros 20 para dar la comida.

Nice family owned latin restaurant I went after a family Baptism .. I ordered the pork-chops with garlic sauce and spanish rice on the side...Overall the food is really good and Sangria.......plenty of parking...will definitely will return!

Best place ever! They have great service and quick too! Love to go there after a good workout. This place is amazing! There good is great and so are the party's that you can have there!

Came in on Monday at 8:30 , it clearly states on website they are opened till ten . I get there and was told we are closing to slow . Not nice since I'm in this business and just got off and was looking forward to my enchiladas. Very disappointed as we were regulars there. No way to be treated !

Mixed feelings. The salsa was meh but the chips were good. The carne asada was very good but served with white rice and bland beans. I had hoped for yellow rice of some sort. My dish had a fried egg and pork rinds which were both ok. My husband's version came with basic potatoes. I had hoped to order chicken enchiladas with green sauce but they only offer red. Overall, was all ok but not special. Also note, there is a sign on the door that they charge an extra 3.5% for using a credit card.

This place is amazing! The servers sometimes get lost and don't come 4 a while but besides that the food is great!! I've had parties here and it's very inexpensive and very affordable. This is the place 2 come if u want good spanish food.

Churrasco, rice and beans are great. Also their empanadas, guacamole and tostones! Yum!!

I love this place!! The Civiche is outstanding! Literally the only place I've been to where the food on your plate actually looks like the pictures on the menu. Staff is amazing and very attentive. Every now and then a man will stop at your table and sing the sweetest Spanish love songs while strumming on his acoustic guitar. They are renovating but I will be there the day they reopen!

I was raised in Puerto Rico and it's rather difficult finding a Puerto Rican restaurant on Long Island. My fiancé recommended this place when we first met. And let me tell you, it's not Puerto Rican cuisine but who cares! It tastes freaking amazing! The pricing of the food is, in my opinion is CHEAP for the amount of food served on the plates. Holy moley! I recommend not eating all day! You'll be stuffed and your stomach doing summersaults out of sheer joy. The taste of the food is delicious. The perfect balance of seasonings and salt. Amazing. The service is great. Servers make constant rounds ensuring your drinks are topped off though. A drawback can be the lack of free refills on sodas. But, the quality and cleanliness of the restaurant makes up for it. I believe it's a Colombian restaurant but they serve popular Caribbean platters as well. The Red Snapper is out of this world! Try it!

Best food hands down! The fajitas, the(I forget the name) meat with pork rings, egg on top and rice n beans is incredible! We get take out and it is still crazy good!

Never coming here again aside from The fact that the owner whose name is Gil is rude and unprofessional My aunt caught food poisoning from the paella they served bathrooms didnt have soap or towels to dry hands server was rude and lacked social skills I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN

After being pissed off at viva la vida for the skimpy meat portions and shrimp-less shrimp ceviche this place is a breath of fresh air----of course viva la vida is Mexican and Casa Vieja is Columbian with Mexican food also on the menu. They both have shrimp ceviche and it was a world of difference. (see pics for proof) I forgot how much I like this place. I used to come here all the time when I lived closer. The food is awesome, they are fast, they portions are HUGE- and beautiful. The prices are still basically the same as they were back in 2005, the last time I was here. Talk about a place that cares about its patrons...so many places could take a lesson from this restaurant. They take care of their guests and choose to forego bigger profits in order to keep it reasonable and a good experience. I love the servers they are true professionals and one or two of them are there over twenty years. One recognized me from ten years ago. Thats wild... They have a nice sangria, and a fully stocked bar area with tables off of the main dining area if your in casual drink mode. The dining room is more intimate- Parking is never ever an issue here this is an independent dwelling and the parking lot has 2 entrance/exits with the parking wrapped around all four sides. Its all private. I would definitely suggest this place for a delicious quiet romantic evening dinner because the atmosphere is so cozy inside. They have not redone it since I have been coming here all the way back in the late nineties but they keep it super clean and organized and the decor fits, and is kind of timeless in way. There are always fresh clean white linen table clothes and candles- very cute. I am adding this place back into my casual dining repertoire. Not sure why I have stayed away so long it has everything you need when Your ravenous and in the mood for some great food and no BS.

First time here today and it was costly!!!! But soooooo freaking delicious!!!! It was worth the money great ambiance clean yummy....yes fige stars all the way!!!

We ate here on New Year's Eve 2017 a party of 10. The service was acceptable but a tad slow, the room was cold and they used space heaters to warm things up to no avail. Food was average at best although the portions were generous. We came here based on the recommendations and reviews we read on Yelp. Most likely not coming back.

My husband and I came for dinner today. Everything on the menu looked so appetizing. The food was perfectly cooked. Chips and salsa are complimentary; but there are plenty of tasty appetizer to choose from. Love their empanadas. The dessert was really good as well. The server was so attentive. The music is not to loud. We both enjoyed our meal.

So good! Great service, great sangria. I have never once walked away not happy.

I love this place but can't come here more than once in six months because I don't really feel good about it after the fact. I always get their cheese enchiladas and the staff is great! They renovated it this year so it looks much better than before.

Service is slow!!!!! I ordered the carne guisada, not good at all. The meat had a foul smell.

Slow service. No hostes, if it was t for the gentleman trying to clean all the tables, service all the tables, the place wouldnt run. All the you ger servers are like half asleep. Food is good

This restaurant is literally a minute away from my house. I have dined in twice here, ill be very honest the food is not to die for, but it is good. I possibly might come back to give it another try. The portions are just right, price wise its fair. The service is great, everyone was very nice.

Our first time at Casa Vieya service was excellent and the waiter was very attentive. The grilled chicken with yellow rice, black beans and Maduro was very good. Will def return again.

Poor service waited 20 min from them to ask what drinks we wanted n another 45 min to get our food...

HUGE portions and great food. We didn't even make a dent in our food and took so much home for leftovers. Guacamole is delicious and so was the Sunday soup. My daughter loved the La Bandeja Especial. My wife and I shared the la picada grande and it was enough food for 8 people.

This place is to go if you like a calm, quiet, or date night retreat! Food: (4/5) The food is very tasty and feels very authentic. Prices are very fair and you get big portions! Atmosphere: (4/5) It's definitely meant to be a calm, soothing environment so perfect for date nights! It has two separate rooms. It feels very private and comforting with dim lighting. I highly recommend visiting anytime. Staff: (4/5) They're very attentive and super polite! Parking: (5/5) It has its own private lot so it's very easy to find parking space no matter when you go.
