This has quickly become one of my favorite local spots. When I want a great margarita I know I can count on Chicken Coop. My fave is the guava margarita on the rocks with a tajin rim.yummy! My favorite dish to order here is hands down the fried snapper. It comes with a salad, yellow rice, tostones, and several other accoutrements. It is so delicious and never disappoints. I especially love mine with a side of garlic sauce. I'm here every couple of months. Sometimes even more often than that. Great hospitable staff. Delicious food! read more

Is chicken coop under new owners ? They keep changing the flavor of the food not only are they overpriced but the food is definitely not worth the money .I keep giving things chance after change and nothing read more

Stopped by the Chicken Coop recently. The food was good. I had a dish that came with white rice, chicharron, steak, sweet plantains, avocado and stopped with an over easy egg. The restaurant decor has a somewhat tropical theme with a stage for a DJ or a performer. The only downside to my experience was the service. It was slow. Slow to come over to take the orders, and slow to get the receipt. I attribute this to the waitress doing everything, including making the drinks. She was pleasant and accommodating despite the slow service. read more

My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful meal here this afternoon. We had no reason to believe this place would be as incredibly good as it was. Our server (possibly the owner of the restaurant) was delightful and obviously very proud of her establishment and, once the food arrived, it was abundantly clear why. Everything was fresh and of excellent quality. Portions were extremely generous and served in an appealing manner. This may be a small little place that you could pass by 100 times and never notice, but after you've eaten there, I don't think you'll forget it. And, if you're like us, you'll definitely be paying them another visit. Can't recommend this lovely little restaurant highly enough. read more

Empanadas always on point do not miss !!!! Chicken are my fave. Love all the fresh juices, their flan, chicken platter etc. my go to

I ordered a rotisserie chicken and sweet plantains. When it arrived it was ice cold. When I tasted it it was absolutely disgusting! Dry and burnt! The plantains were also ice cold and very hard almost uncooked! I ended up throwing the entire meal in the garbage! Just disgusting I would not ever recommend this place to anyone! Very disappointed! read more

My cousin who lives in the area recommended this place for its beef empanadas. All 3 times I've been to Chicken Coop has been to order beef empanadas to go. Although this last time we tried their yucca fries and I loved them. The yucca fries are made with mashed cassava and have a crispy fried exterior. Though I've not tried much else I'll say this place is always packed! Parking is not easy! If you go early you might get lucky to find a parking spot. The service is hit and miss as far as take out. I'm not sure how it is when dinning inside/outside. They do have a few tables outside. I'll update this when I dine in. read more

We were in the area to see some friends who recommended this restaurant and ended up coming on a Sunday afternoon for lunch with a party of 6. We were able to be seated right away. The staff was nice, bilingual and able to answer all our questions and make the substitutions we requested. There is plenty of available seating, they have a full bar as well. I had the fresh mango juice with water which was delicious, my wife opted for passion fruit juice and she enjoyed it as well. As far as food, my wife went with the carne asada and substituted maduros for tostones. I had the breaded chicken with maduros, both came with a salad and rice and beans. Both were well seasoned but not salty, we really enjoyed the food, the servings were big but manageable. The prices aren't too high here, you definitely get your moneys worth and I would return! read more

Came to this spot while visiting my godson and took him to eat here since it was the only thing close to Latin food in the area. Establishment was nice and clean as well as the service. The waitress was great and attentive. I ordered the flat iron grilled chicken (pechuga de pollo a la plancha) it came with rice, beans, a sweet plantains and a salad. Pretty good portion to fill you up and the food was delicious and satisfying. My godson had the breaded chicken with rice and beans and his mom had the Bandeja Paisa, all generous portions. My godsons mom insisted that I try some of the fried pork belly from her bandeja paisa which was very delicious. I usually have a weakness for fried pork belly since it's so delicious when cooked right and this definitely was. read more

Food is amazing, do not get me wrong, but the service is not at all, I have ordered from here so many times, and every single time they always forget to give me everything I paid for, if you pay for sides, they will forget to give you the sides OR they'll give you something you didn't ordered, and if you go and tell them that you got the wrong order and ask them to change it, they will give you dirty looks. read more

I'm beginning to like Chicken Coop more and more mainly for their: Simply good no frills food. Portion size is huge. It's affordable. They're open seven days. They usually do (quick) delivery.for me and I only had one bad experience when the driver was terribly late but she apologized and seemed genuinely contrite. Their spot is cozy (especially at evenings) and clean. I'm a fan of their family meal which includes: rice, potato, a whole chicken, beans and salad for days. This meal costs $27.95 with tax and when it's my turn to cook at home I get this, apply to home dishes, turn the stove on (it's better to play the game well), sprinkle some black or cayenne pepper and violà! Dinner is served. I know you gonna try this at home. You're welcome. **winks** The End. read more

My boyfriend and I went for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Upon entering, the waitstaff just points to a table and you seat yourself. Not very professional. We ordered drinks which was very good, however the margaritas are too sweet. The passion fruit mojito so good though! We ordered calamari as an appetizer. It was terrible; no seasoning or flavor and it was extremely oily. It was like they just put it on the plate straight from the fryer without letting the oil drain first. Besides that, I absolutely loved the garlic prawns, the sauce is so flavorful. They have pretty good sized portions. I would visit again but maybe try other appetizers. read more

The restaurant is cozy and decorated for the holidays. Partitions are up and tables are decently distanced. Cutlery are places in individual paper bags. Hand sanitizer at the door but entry way sanitizer didn't work. Drinks were tasty and decently priced. They have happy hour if anyone is interested. Food was so good. They have a really nice Spicy green sauce that's a must. I actually prefer the decreased capacity because they don't take long tending to your table. Service was kind and quick. read more

It's a good spot for a quick meal. The waiters are quite courteous and easy going it seems. He convinced me to have the fried fish. I ate half not because it was not good but because I had yuca fries, tostones, and salad and I filled up nicely. I have been here before and the restaurant looks like they have many take out orders. Being a Colombian place in Valley Stream is not easy but with word of mouth they should do ok. I recommend people do come here. The Modelo Negra beer was $4 and was nice and cold and they serve it with a frosted ice glass. It hit the spot perfectly. They keep the place clean and the food fresh. I think that's the recipe for return visits to this place. The other drinks were also $4. The skirt steak was plenty for 1 or 2 people and they served it with sweet plantains and arepa. read more

Food is good but I didn't know when you order on their website for PICKUP they charge way more than if you call your order in or walk in. Apparently they didn't know either. They gave me the bill thinking I didn't pay and that's when I noticed I got charged an extra $10 smh. When I asked why, they said because of the card system. This made no sense since I was using card anyway. I asked for an extra tres leches cake at least to make up some of the difference. They said no and told me to call next time. Poor customer service guys. read more

My 4 star rating is mainly for the food not the service. Service isn't bad but it could be better. Dined in here recently on a quiet weeknight and received mediocre service by the waiter. I expected him to be more attentive since he was only tending to 3 tables, 2 ppl per table. I give him a little slack though, given the fact that he was also the server, bartender and busboy.. Anywho, the food is great. We were served a small fresh salad for starters before our entree was served. My friend had the skirt steak with rice and beans and yellow plantains and I had the Columbian style sirloin. Mine came with fries and yellow plantain. The steak was huge, moist and cooked to perfection with a savory Spanish flavor. It was served steaming hot on one of those black metal pans, so it stayed hot for a while! The plantains were perfectly cooked (moist not dry) and the fries were NOT overcooked either. I tried my friends rice and beans and that was delish as well. The wait for the food and drinks weren't long. However the drinks were a bit weak. You can't go wrong with this place though.. Not if you want some great Spanish food at a decent price. This is your place! read more

The food was really good, drinks perfectly made. super friendly environment and the staff even better. I would go again for sure. read more

Admittedly I am not an expert on Colombian food, but I loved this meal. Everyone I was with enjoyed their meals. For me the beans and potato could use more seasoning but that can be added at the table. The steak was so tender and tasty and the three sauces were all really good. Salad was simple but fresh. Corn cake was underwhelming. Service was fine. read more

My fiancé and I had dinner at Chicken Coop last night. The atmosphere was fun and lively with people watching the World Cup on the big screen. The menu is huge with so many options to choose from which made it difficult to decide what to order. I ultimately settled on the Bandeja Paisa and it was great. It's a massive platter of food and it was fun to eat. It came with some kind of grilled beef which I could have done without, white rice and beans, sweet plantain, chicharron, a fried egg, avocado and an arepa. The rice and beans were amazing. The beans had great flavor and were cooked to perfection. My fiancé ordered a whole rotisserie chicken and added an order of yellow rice and beans. He enjoyed it. Our servers were nice and pleasant. We initially ordered the green plantains with avocado for our appetizer, but there was a mix up in the kitchen and they wanted to bring it out with the entrees. I canceled the order because it would have been too much food at one time. I dont think they were too happy about that. Next time I'll specify to bring it out first. I didn't care for the Oreo cookie mud pie dessert but my fiancé loved it. We will return. read more

We have been back to the Chicken Coop numerous times since our first visit and the place gets better and better with each visit. They have clearly hit their stride, but have not shrunk the portions at all. The Chicken is juicier and perfectly seasoned. The sides are abundant and authentic. They off great prices, especially on lunch specials and family meals. This place really has become a highlight of Valley Stream dinning. read more

In the mood for some great Colombian food, then you need to stop to Chicken Coop when in the area. Give them your patronage, you will be glad you stopped and your stomach will love you for it.

Best margaritas in town! And the food is good as well! Felt compelled to give a Great review!

Portions are huge, so you can definitely share a dish with a friend. We got the steak churasco. The meat was tender and spiced just right, and comes with plenty of fries. You can switch out fries for other side dishes too. Would be 5 stars for the delicious food if it weren't for the lack of service. Had to send back a dish for getting the side dish wrong, then had to send it back for getting it wrong a second time. read more

Good option for Colombian comfort foods in valley stream. I prefer takeout the dining room atmosphere strange with TVs but the food is great traditional fare.

Food is five star Service is three star (in person or even via phone they really could be friendlier) So I'll give it a four overall read more

Terrible service the hostess is rude they got my order wrong 3 times and instead of correcting it I'm laughed at. Wouldn't recommend.

I enjoy this restaurant, it's a nice chill place to grab some Colombian food. The best value for your buck is the quarter chicken special. It comes with a lot of food and it is under $10. The restaurant itself used to be a McDonald's Express, but they made it a nice atmosphere complete with dim lighting, decorated walls, and a table that says Chicken Coop on it! What more can you ask for? The food isn't sophisticated, but you don't come here for that, you come here for good food at a decent price. Just make sure to specify you want tap water if you ask for water otherwise they will just give you bottled Poland spring water and charge you an over $2 premium for it. Fuck that. read more

I happen to drive by this restaurant about two years ago and to my pleasant surprise it's Colombian. I'm a fan of Colombian food. It was early afternoon and there were plenty of available tables. I loved the decor because it's filled with authentic and traditional Colombian craftsmanship (artesanía). The staff could be friendlier but they get the job done. The food was very tasty and the servings are extremely generous. I've been ordering from them ever since and find their food to be consistent. They make an amazing chicharrón (Colombian style fries pork belly). It's never under cooked or over cooked. It's just perfectly crispy! Delicious...... However I do find them to be on the pricey side. I usually order the chicken coop bandeja and my husband and I share it because it's more than enough food for two. Overall good restaurant and good food. read more

I haven't been to this place in a long time and drove by it recently and was surprised it was stil open for busniss so I wanted to see if anyone felt as negative of this place as i do from my last experience. I want to correct someone else's review about this being a Peruvian place that would be a no from the last time i went there they only have a handful of plates from Peru and the rest i believe is Colombian or so i thought. I called one day to get food delievered and asked for the most typical Colombian plate "Bistec A Caballo" and the idoit on the phone made fun of my request and said she doesn't know what that was and that they don't make that, then asked her to confirm this is a Colombian place and that i had ordered this before. She confirmed this place was Colombian but then told me i was wrong and no such plated existed. From there it just got worse talking to this dummy she just didn't pay much attention to the rest of the phone call and so i hung up. Never will step foot into this place. read more
