"Seriously amazing and delicious Colombian restaurant in Queens. Definitely a hidden gem!! I've been to other places in Queens and by far Tienda Vieja exceeds the others. Everything was cooked to perfection and was so satisfying. This was one of those meals that leave you so happy and comforted lol. We will absolutely be back. Kudos to the chef for a delicious meal."

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a welcoming atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home. The customer service at Tienda Vieja is truly exceptional. The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Our server Geral took the time to explain the specials of the day and even offered great recommendations based on our preferences. It was clear that the entire team is dedicated to providing an outstanding dining experience. They checked in on us regularly without being intrusive, making sure our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed. Each dish we ordered was a delightful masterpiece. The flavors were bold and well-balanced, showcasing the chef's expertise and making you feel at home(Colombia) The ambiance of the restaurant adds to the overall experience, with its charming decor and inviting vibe.

"I enjoy the taste of their food. Although the seafood rice I had once was not very tasty, the other dishes were all delicious. My son particularly likes their fried pork skin and fried plantains. I enjoy their salads and cheesecakes. The service is very good; the waiters always greet you with a smile, although they sometimes get busy and forget things."

"We'll be back! The meats!!! The red sangria, the plantain and flan - all excellent. My son and his girlfriend took me here for my birthday today so I don't know what he paid but I heard them saying it was more than reasonable."
