I've been searching for a chicharrones spot in NYC for a long time and I'm glad I finally found a…read morespot in Flushing! I got the chicharrones with rice and beans and potato salad (comes with half an avocado). Every aspect of the meal was delicious. The pork was perfectly crispy, the rice was soft and delicious. The beans also paired perfectly with the rice. The staff was also super sweet and friendly. I would definitely come back for more and for breakfast. I saw a lot of New York breakfast friendly options on the menu for a very reasonable price. They take cash, credit card, and apple pay!

It's been around for a while. Finally tried it. Not a bad place but nothing special about here.read more

Took the entire family to this place for a birthday celebration . They were great in accommodating all of us. The service was good and quick. The food hit the spot when you are craving the chicarrón.

The food was of course amazing! seasoned well, even the rice! One thing for sure. Their corn cakes. I usually don't care or that cause it's usually dry, cold, and tasteless. This place on the other hand was warm, crispy, and a touch of salt which is a plus to me! The chicharon. Pfft... forget about it. Crispy on the outside. Soft and tender! Oh man I just need like sauces to dip! to give it that nice finish! Everything else on the dish was cooked perfectly. The plantains was nice and soft and sweet, the chicken was fall off the bone, the steak was juicy and not overly tough! Definitely give this place a try! I would definitely order from here again!

This is the spot…read more This is the spot for a huge platter of delicious Colombian food, perhaps before you go dance it off at the nearby Knockdown Center. I'm not going to pretend that I am the best person to determine what an authentic Colombian experience is (never had the pleasure of visiting Colombia), but if this isn't it, I can't imagine what they're missing. The staff speaks to you in Spanish exclusively, which made me glad one of my boys is Honduran. The TVs all over the place are playing what appear to be Colombian music videos that were made in the 80s featuring old men and attractive young women. They've got buckets of Colombian beer and frosted mugs so cold that the beer turned to slush around the sides. They've got a platter called the Bandeja la Berraca that consists of rice, beans, steak, plantains, eggs, avocado salad, little corn cakes, blood sausage, other sausage (amazing), and a giant side of chicharron. Eat and drink to you're bursting, while adorable Colombian kids run around the place. And rejoice that you live in NYC, where these things can be had.

The hostess from the coffee shop next door comes out and tells us that they are also Mr Mario and that we could order from the same menu. Taking a quick look, we decided to sit in the coffee shop. Ambience: a modern cafe vibe, like a larger more upscale Starbucks. It was relatively empty on an early Friday night. The menus weee on IPads, so you have to navigate and scroll through several screens. Food: we ordered: They were out of Rib soup, the special of the day?! Tostones with guac and chicharron - fried pork belly with guac and tostones. Comfort food at its finest 5/5 Chicken consomme - a little salty. 3/5 Grilled chicken cutlet - well seasoned, cut thin and tender. 4/5 Service - very friendly staff. Had a little language barrier challenges while ordering but we made it work. Tip was automatically added for a party of 4.

I went with a friend from Colombia and he thought this place looked authentic so figured that we…read morecould give it a try. Shortly thereafter, we realized that we were both wrong. The drinks were off I couldn't exactly point what was wrong. Maybe the Coke was flat I'm not sure but it just wasn't good. As for the food, my friend got the steak (well done which he says is the only way that steak should be eaten, I beg to differ) as well as the chicken. The food is incredibly land, and my chicken was honestly wet for a lack of better terms. I can't recall the last time that pechuga (chicken breast) was wet and that's probably because it's not supposed to be! The only reason that I gave this place two stars is that the employees here were nice, but I wouldn't return especially when there are many better spots nearby- not necessarily for Colombian food but great food in general.

This was the first Columbian restaurant that I ever went to in NYC years ago and I always…read moreremembered it so revisiting was like going back to a favorite past time. The first thing you will fall in love with is the decor of the restaurant. (I get the feeling of a family owned restaurant that has been around for years in one of the oldest cities in Columbia on a quiet street). Service is great the waiters are very helpful and do their best to ensure you have a good experience. The food is delicious and taste as though someone's grand ma made it. Every meal is filling because the portions are great. Enjoy Colombian sodas with your meal or beer. This is the place is a must visit!!!

However, their empanadas need improvement and are always dried out and over cooked. The filling does not taste as fresh as it should be at times as well. The table setting is nice and this business does well because the servers know how to turn over tables quick. I will keep coming back here because there is not much better in the area. Overall, it's worth checking out if you are in the vicinity and in desperate need of a home cooked style meal.

Nice bakery for a pick me up if you are up for trying Latino bakery items. Even with their limited English, the staff are helpful and provided good customer service. There are also savory dishes besides Latin baked goods if that is what you are looking for. Haven't tried the savory food, but the soup looks interesting.

The mondongo soup had good flavor but wasn't cooked long enough and was chewy. The baked chicken was tender, and was good. The potato salad was ok. The empanadas were 6/10.

Overall the food wasn't bad could be better and the service needs adjustments.
