My girlfriend and I found a staple inside her chicken quesadilla. Luckily, she was able to spit it out before swallowing it. The only reason I gave the place 2 stars is because the food itself is very good and fresh. I understand mistakes happen but the cook NEEDS to be notified of this incident so it doesn't happen again.

Cubano with fries on the side

I had such a pleasant experience here! The waitresses were so friendly, they were efficient in cleaning before and after guests leave. The food was also delicious!!! They provided free nachos and salsa which was a great appetizer before the entree. We ordered horchata, enchilada with green sauce and the cuban hero. Horchata is one of the best I've had! The Cuban hero was so goood (along with the crispy fresh fries), and the beef enchilada was so flavorful. Everything was so tender and the beef wasn't overdone either! The portions were enormous...!! You will not be disappointed :)

Just want to start off my saying the customer service here is stupendous. The gentleman and all the ladies are very tentative, accommodating and overall friendly! The food here is also delicious. Please try the creamy green sauce!!!!! Highly recommend the tacos which come with onions, cilantro and guacamole! Favorites are the steak and the fried fish tacos. The only unremarkable dish for us was the empanadas- a little too soggy on the inside compared to what I prefer.

Always serving up great tacos!! I keep ordering them. And the amiga that brings it out to me is soooooo nice!! I love it. Keep eating these...

Guess what I had for lunch, a burnt chicken. I'm never going back if that's how they served their customers

Placed order at seamless 11:14am, received at 1247pm. Understand the guy is on a bike. Food was not hot upon arrival. Warm. The chicken is burnt, totally black on the skin * wish I can post pic with my review but it is on the photos I posted.

I ordered a pico de gallo and Chicken. There was a COCKROACH in the pico!!! And it was alive.... Will never order again. =(

I ordered a pico de Gallo and a roasted chicken. It looked good but... Nope. Sorry. See pic! There was a Cockroach in the Pico!!! I opened it up and there it was. Alive and kicking. Now I am revolted. Nauseous, and didn't touch their other food. I am sorry for posting this, truthfully their chicken looks good and tastes good but I will never order from them again after this bad experience.

I placed an order, it took very long to arrive. When it was received, the order was in fact incomplete. Seems like this should be pretty cut and dry right? I called the restaurant to tell them that a portion of my order was missing. When I spoke with the gentleman, who must have been having a pretty awful day, I was told I would have to wait until the delivery guy returned and IF the chicken was in fact NOT received then they would give me the chicken I paid for. I explained that I wouldn't lie about not receiving a portion of the order. I also mentioned that I order from the restaurant all the time and have even sat in the actual storefront with my family. The gentleman was adamant that I was wrong and raised his voice then proceeded to tell me my voice sounds familiar. He proceeded to tell me that I had called before. I am not sure who he thought I was but I'm sure they are not friends. Since I place all my orders through GrubHub I explained that I hadn't called and had never had a problem before. He was aggressive and rude and plainly called me a liar, wanting me to wait for the delivery guy so he could see a receipt. A receipt I'm sure he could easily retrieve online for any information he may have needed. I am a long time Bay Ridge resident and have ordered from Don Mario's Rotisserie numerous times. I have never been treated like that. I would never deem it acceptable to treat a customer, any customer returning or otherwise, the way I was treated tonight. I will not return to Don Mario's and I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to be treated fairly, kindly and with respect. I was so disappointed and still am.

Chicken quesadilla
Jason L.

Was looking for a take out place on a sunday night and came upon this on yelp. Seeing the positive reviews about their food made me come try this place. The restaurant is really small, probably can seat a maximum of 20 people. We had their guacamole and chips, pollo asado enchilada, and chicken quesadilla. The guacamole initially tasted good and fresh, but then realized there is a big piece of lettuce in it making it seem like there is more guac than it really is. Secondly, the guac tasted like they added a little water since it was a tiny bit watery and not as thick as it is supposed to be. The pollo asado enchilada was full of taste and really spicy. Just didn't like how they give big pieces of chicken. Usually it is shredded chicken at other places. The chicken quesadilla was ok. Overall, their food is mediocre but portions are big. The guy upfront was pretty friendly. Probably will come back and give it another try since everyone been raving about their rotisserie chicken.

Best $7 meal you can get around late. Dark meat is way better than the white and make sure you ask for the green sauce.

The food here is absolutely delicious! If you're looking for a happy hour that's actually worth it,…read morethis is the place. We ordered the wings, oysters, and the paella. Everything was excellent, but the paella was the star of the meal my wife couldn't put her fork down. The drinks were cold, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the food. The only downside was the service at the front. The host seemed a little unfriendly, which wasn't the best first impression. Thankfully, the manager stepped in, was very welcoming, and seated us in the back, which ended up being the perfect spot for a quick bite and a couple of drinks. Overall, the food and drinks definitely outweigh the small hiccup at the beginning. We'll definitely be back for happy hour again.

Maybe I should blame my friend for giving this place such high praise. I ordered their chaulafan…read morerice which was actually really good and so were their chicken wings very flavorful. My friend ordered the steak and shrimp skewers when they received the food the shrimp was raw was not cooked at all and they weren't gonna say anything so I had to step in and tell the server that the shrimp was raw which they recognized and they ended up bringing out cooked shrimp. Very weird. Doesn't seem like the healthiest thing to do for that. The fact that they didn't discount anything for that experience was wild too and it was hot as hell inside, I know it's summer but let's get a fan or something in to rotation. With that said our server was great and understanding. Will I come here again, maybe not top on my list but maybe sometime in the future. 3stars l

They let us sit at the bar (which sat about a total of 10 people) while we waited. After about 15 minutes we were seated. Our waitress checked-in without making us feel rushed whatsoever. We started with some drinks, the pina colada margarita, and some queso and nachos. The drinks were delicious, and the appetizers hit the spot. For dinner, I ordered the quesadilla which was a bit smaller than I expected, but still delicious. Overall, the drinks and food tasted great. It felt a little pricy for the sizes, but it felt on par for a Brooklyn restaurant. Side note: There is limited street parking available. We spent at least 20 minutes circling before we finally found a spot! Keep in mind it was a Friday at 7pm.

However I usually forget that they also had food because there are so many options for Mexican food around here. This time around I decided to stop and try their food out. We started with the queso which was ok nothing special. For my main I ordered the mole enchiladas and I actually like it. My boyfriend order the steak but they were out of stock so he settle for the pernil. He claims to be a pernil connoisseur and wasn't happy with his pernil here. I had two margaritas one regular and one with mezcal and left feeling a little tipsy. I think this is just a place for drinks and snacks but the food was just ok for me.

I was passing through Sunset Park and hadn't eaten since breakfast. I saw an Ecuadorian spot near…read morethe train, but it had a B grade, so I passed. Defeated, that only made me want Ecuadorian food even more. I began a mission to get a plate of llapingachos (mashed potatoes laced with cheese and topped with peanut sauce, a typical dish in the Cuenca/Azogues area of Ecuador.) Yelp did not fail me. I walked south and found this place just after some scaffolding. I sat down and was promptly given a menu. Llapingachos are usually eaten with fritada (fried pork) or hornado (roast pork, like pernil.) Them I saw guatita (tripe with peanut sauce) and was almost lead astray and said to myself, No, you came here for llapingachos and llapingachos you shall have. The menu had pictures and I even saw a plate pairing them with steak and eggs. It was a hard decision, but I went with that. The waitress brought out green sauce, called ají in Colombia (not sure what it's called in Ecuador.) my husband ordered the bandeja paisa, a Colombian dish. I waited in trepidation, as I was starving at this point. The food came and I was unsure what to go for first. The meat, the llapingachos, the fried eggs, the salad, or the rice. I gave each a turn. What I love about Ecuadorian cooking, is that there's often a variety of foods on one plate. I hadn't had this plate in ages, so this was a real treat. I wasn't feeling 100% today, so the meal was hearty, yet had nothing to upset my stomach. It turned out to be just the right thing for me. My husband enjoyed his meal, though it was a riff on the traditional plate. They left out the area yet added a few pieces of pork on the bone. He seemed to enjoy his meal. I'd go back. In fact, a personal obligation will require me to be back in the neighborhood in a few days and now I have a little spot to go to that I can trust. I might just try the guatita this time.
