Barzola is one of the best Ecuadorian restaurants in all of Queens. They have a handful of locations, but this one in Jackson Heights was the first location (opened in 1987). The place is spacious, very clean, and serves all of the traditional plates. You can find everything here like bolon de verde, seco de gallina, llapingachos, etc. The food was fresh and very flavorful. I recommend the bandera. This is a platter that comes with several different things to try (ceviche, tripe stew, goat stew, rice) to give you a better idea of of the cuisine. There's a happy hour as well. If you go there Monday to Friday 1:00pm to 7:00pm, drinks are half price.

Just as delicious as it was the last time I came. Great service, delicious and flavorful food. Worth the bill, highly recommend

Fish Cazuela, Steak, Rice and Beans
Eszee R.

Let's just say, the best part of the whole experience was the chair I sat in. VERY comfy! Now for the service, our lazy waitress messed up my order and then came back and lied and said she repeated the order to me 3 times which is a complete lie because when has a waiter ever done that? I had ordered the cazuela de camarones which is a shrimp dish and she repeated it back to me 1x in which she said shrimp. When I got my order it was fish. Keep in mind, I rarely ever order fish when I go out to eat unless the place is known for fish. Because she came to complain to me I told her to forget it and just kept the dish. I wanted to like it but the fish looked somewhat old and was very overcooked! I couldn't even tell what kind of fish it was. I also got the plantain empanada with cheese and it wasn't good at all. Barely had any cheese and the plantain itself tasted bland. I also got to try the steak which was seasoned well but was very chewy. After then waiting a while, we realized that our waitress never came back so we had to get the attention of another waitress. I looked down towards the back and noticed that out waitress was busy eating and watching videos on her phone. Needless to say we paid and left. Most definitely never coming back.

Fritada
Chris J.

Amazing food and service! Really loved the fritada! The service was amazing and the music was really enjoyable! Would definitely come here again!

Caldo De Salchicha
Christian R.

Looking for Ecuadorian restaurants sounds easy in Queens. My family is from the Coast and taste vary depending on the region. Although we are from the same country, flavor and seasoning for Soups are the hardest to come close. Most restaurants have a home feel, meaning not much decoration just good food. This place has a little bit of a different feel, vibrant and energetic setting. For an Ecuadorian restaurant, they should offer Ecuadorian beer. Ordered the "Caldo de Salchicha" Popular Blood sausage hearty soup. This soup is loaded with all kinds of internal meat. The flavor was delicious. Couple of issues, the soup was served luke warm. Second the plantain sausage was flavored with the same as the Caldo de Bola. It wasn't bad, just that those sausages are only supposed to carry plantain filling without meat. This one had meat like the filling for the balls for "Caldo de Bola". I would recommend they quality check the temperature of the food when served. Since I only had the soup and no other plates. I'll try it again before I give a final review.

The frozen margarita by the bleach base spray bottle I returned.

NOT BAR FRIENDLY!!!!! While trying to enjoy our frozen margarita, the bartender decided to clean down the Margarita machine by spraying a bleach base cleaning product. It was so strong, our drinks started tasting like bleach. After she clean the machines she left for her break just to come back and start spraying the front of my area, in which the cleaning product hit me and my drink. When she realized he spraying me, she said sorry and laughed. I asked for a new drink (we paid our bill already) and

Cazuela de Pescado
Wendy O.

I was hesitant at first to try this place because I had heard mixed things about the place. I am glad I gave them a chance. The food was amazing!! This was my first time trying Ecuadorian food and I went with an Ecuadorian friend who introduced me to the food. We went around 2 pm last Thursday it was not packed and the food came out right away. We started off with margaritas from the happy hour list. I had the coconut margarita and my friend had the strawberry margarita. The drinks were good but sweet. For appetizers I ordered the muchines and she ordered the humitas. We shared both since I wanted to try both. Wow the muchines were sooooo good !!!! I liked the humitas as well it kind of resembles a sweet corn tamale but with cheese. For the entree I had the traditional Bandera dish wowww it was filling, big and tasty. It came with yellow rice, shrimp ceviche, goat stew and fish. My friend had the Cazuela de Pescado it was super tasty as well. Our customer service was good the waitress was patient and didn't rush us. Give this place a try the food is great !!

Amaretto Sour
Patrick R.

Excellent Ecuadorian food, all fresh ingredients. Ceviche camarones was really done well, and fresh shrimp and the quite rice cooked perfectly, they give you baked corn kernels on the side which was really good and fresh as well. I highly recommend this place for really good, Fresh Ecuadorian food. The restaurant is spacious and deceiving from the outside a lot bigger than it looks. A lot of reviews about the service not being great, it was kind of alow but we weren't in any rush to leave and the wait doe the food is definitely worth it. They have a full bar with a cocktail menu, if your food is taking long have one of their cocktails, glad I did the Amaretto Sour was mad perfect. Bartender knew what she was doing. I will definitely be back, very content

Bolon Mixto Delicioso
Nadine H.

We visited Barzola for the first time this past weekend. The ambiance was very nice, the restaurant was clean and very family friendly. We were a party of 7. I really loved the Ecuadorian menu, traditional dishes like the Bolon de verde mixto and a cup of hot coffee. Everything that was ordered was tasty and true to Ecuador's cuisine. The staff was kind but a bit slow. Food was at a great temperature and came out fairly quick. As a visitor from out of state my recommendation is to take public transport. We rented a car and parking was a huge challenge. I highly recommend this restaurant and suggest you try it at least once. They have other locations but we went to this location. The experience along was worth it and for seven people it was about $250.00 plus tip.

Andy M.

Food is great. Excellent environment. Service was a 10/10. I came once before and it was above and beyond.

Went here on a Saturday for a friend's birthday brunch, and it was such a great experience. When we…read morearrived, the hostess guided us to one of their private rooms downstairs, which was spacious enough to comfortably fit around 20-25 people--perfect for a group celebration. We had our own dedicated server, which made everything feel really seamless. They kept our drinks flowing the entire time, and it was a huge plus not having to flag anyone down. For food, I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was delicious. The coleslaw on it added great flavor (honestly, I just wish there was a bit more of it). It came with fries that were perfectly crispy--exactly how fries should be. Overall, I had a really enjoyable time. If I'm ever back in the neighborhood or if anyone asks me for a good brunch spot for groups, I'd definitely recommend this place.

It was a perfect day for a weekday brunch outdoors, and though the sun was beaming on our faces…read moreuntil we couldn't open our eyes, the weather was a breath of fresh air. My partner started off with a bloody mary which he thoroughly enjoyed (and considered opting for a bottomless brunch option until i reminded him that he drove here). I got the lemon ricotta pancakes which was pleasantly sweet, without the drizzle being too overpowering. The fresh fruits complimented the fluffy stacks of pancakes and was perfect for a light meal. My partner on the other hand, was famished and ordered the steak and eggs which he happily devoured. Service was great, our server was very attentive and never had us wait. I would highly recommend coming here for brunch!
