La Vega

If you’re an elitist with high expectations and scenery this place isn’t for you. If you want some good food at an affordable price that you want to take home. This is your spot. The roasted chicken is definitely the best around. If your a veteran of the area you remember «Chicken Q» that use to be on Broadway back in the day this is up there! The portions are larger for the price from the dinner to the lunch specials. Bring cash and save yourself a buck. It’s a small business trying to stick around in an area that is pricing out good old fashion food for a trending cookie cutter spot. (If I want to keep prices down I wouldn’t want to pay the 1.25 per CC transaction either)
Steak and onions, porkchop and the mofongo are on the top of list and if your not feeling well the chicken soup is made with REAL chicken!

Tried the beef & chicken tacos, SO GOOD. Spicy and delicious, and $ 8 gets you 3 large tacos. I couldn’t finish my plate. Eating in is a little awkward since barely any of the staff speaks English so we weren’t sure what to expect, but we’ll be back!

Was looking for a Latin food that reminded me of home on New Year’s Day. Definitely not a 4.5 star restaurant.
First star is removed because of the food. I got the pechuga de pollo (chicken breast). It was prepared in a Latin manner (butterflied thin) but didn’t have any flavor and was pink/​raw in certain spots! My girlfriend got the chicken enchiladas and the hot sauce on top was hot/​spicy but had a weird taste to it and wasn’t that appealing.
Second star gets knocked off because of the service and music. There is a electronic juke box that is wayyyyyy to loud. It felt like I was back home in a backyard party. The service was decent but we didn’t even get anything to drink! No cups for water or anything.
Overall, did not think that the taste of the food was worth the price. Back in Miami, you could have had a similar meal for less $$. Will likely not be returning. Not sure if there are other Latin restaurants in the area to try first before this one.

Love the beef tacos… very authentic flavor but the place is not somewhere you eat at, you just get take out ;))

This place has amazing rotisserie chicken. The rice and beans are great too. I’ve never gotten the stews but they always look awesome. It’s also pretty cheap — $ 8 gets you half a rotisserie chicken, rice and beans, definitely enough for 2 – 3 meals.

I’ve never had food from here but goddamn, I pass by this place every day and the smell coming out of here improves my quality of life by at least 80%. Every single day, ²⁴⁄₇. I’m about that pollo shit.

delicious chicken, going to De la Vega is like leaving the US. very good and friendly service.

This place has amazing rotisserie chicken! Best pollo asado in Brooklyn. My friend who moved from the neighborhood and now lives in Manhattan begs me to bring it for her every time I come visit.
The other stuff is good, but it’s really the pollo asado that’s worth coming for.

La vega, what a great restaurant!!! Im very particular about my Spanish cuisine but la vega does justice. There roasted chicken is infamous in the neighborhood, i especially like the pollo empanizado and the carne asada, and there rice is always cooked to perfection. Great food fast delivery what more could you ask for

Their chicken ES EL MEJOR in Brooklyn. That’s all I get — the whole chicken ($ 7) or the half chicken ($ 4). Comes with beans and rice if you’d like. Cooked to perfection with the moist and tender meat falling off of the bones. Seasoned simply and totally satisfying. YUM.

I’ve only gotten the lunch special from here, which is chicken or pork, beans and rice. Very flavorful and they give you a large portion for the price. But that in itself is enough to make you want to try everything else on the menu!

The only great thing in this Spanish restaurant is their baked roasted chicken. It is always good. Other good things they cook: the pepper steak, the pork (patitas de cerdo) and the Mondongo Soup.
What not to ever try or buy here because it is a total waste of you money:
The Vacalao or Codfish, big fail, badly cooked, I felt bad feeding it to my dog.
cooked hard, not tomato sauce in it, the taste was awful.
The Sanchocho Soup, how on earth can you fail at making this type of soup when all you have to do is put all things together season it and let it boil… it was salty and without flavor.

Agree with David A. This is definitely a spot. Get the chicken.
