Be caeeful ordering oxtail here they will almost give u nothing Buena comida, pero tacaños ! Ella me dio 3 Piezas de rabo con arroz por 16 $! Sé que los tiempos son difíciles, pero maldita sea! Tengan cuidado pidiendo rabo de buey aquí, casi no te darán nada

    Yes, it's a hole in the wall type of place. But these places tend to have the best quick bite. The main thing that I come here for are the empanadas, I just can't resist. The other food they offer is also delicious. Beef, rice, pan de Bono, tres leches, you name it! Within the store they also sell some produce items as well as packaged items. The place has rear parking, and 3/4 tables to sit and enjoy your delicious Colombian food.

    I can't believe I'm just visiting this place!! LOVE good Colombian food and this one hits it right…read moreon the nail (is that even a phrase)? Anyway, came here on a weekday afternoon and wasn't busy at all- that's not to say that the food/bakery wasn't good. It was AMAZING. I got the lunch special which was chicken soup with breaded filet, salad and rice for $12.99. WHAT! And that portion was BIG as you can see from the pictures. Our server was attentive and got us whatever we needed almost right away! My breaded filet came out delicious. Perfect amount of crispy where it's not overdone and it wasn't drenched in any sauce that made the filet soggy. The house salad was simple yet flavorful and that chicken noodle soup was SO hearty that I wanted to go in the kitchen and scoop myself more. The place is big and bright and clean. Bakery on one side of the restaurant for quick take out and restaurant to the right. There's street parking but there's also parking in the back where the giant farmer market is, but it can be a busy lot. I came back here again with my husband another day and had another lunch special which was grilled chicken with mushroom sauce and my husband had a 16oz churrasco, all cooked to perfection. We got some bakery goods to go and we can't wait to have them later. Highly recommend this place!!

    This review is for takeout only: seems like an OK option but could be better (and more affordable)…read moreespecially with other similar restaurants in the area. We ordered the mini tipica (grilled steak, pork rind, rice, beans, fried egg, sweet plantain and avocado, chorizo) and it was fair; the steak was too chewy but everything else was fine. It didn't feel like an $18 meal though and definitely have had better. Seems like a pretty casual atmosphere inside. There's an additional credit card charge so pay cash to save that 3%.

    A Concerned Review of Pollos Mario…read more For years, my spouse and I have been loyal customers of Pollos Mario in Hackensack, NJ. We have enjoyed many meals here, from breakfast to lunch and dinner, supporting this establishment through economic ups and downs, a pandemic, and an influx of competition on Main Street. As one of the original Colombian restaurants in Hackensack, we have always hoped for the best for them, but recent experiences have left us concerned. While the food remains fresh and flavorful, Pollos Mario is no longer the only player in the game. With eight Colombian restaurants now within walking distance, the landscape has changed significantly. Recently, we found ourselves paying $32 for breakfast, which feels exorbitant. Reflecting on our past visits, it's evident that the portion sizes have shrunk considerably since pre-pandemic times. The arepa con queso, which used to cover the plate, now barely touches the edges. Both my spouse and I ordered Huevos Revueltos, priced at $13.90 each, which included scrambled eggs, a homemade potato, and corn cake with cheese. My spouse enjoyed a hot chocolate or coffee with their meal, while I was charged separately for my Aguapanela con Limón, a sugarcane lime drink that, upon receiving the bill, we discovered was not included with the breakfast and added an unexpected $5 charge for a tiny glass. This feels disproportionate for what is essentially a simple beverage. I understand that economic uncertainty is impacting many businesses, and restaurants need to find ways to stay afloat. However, the experience cannot come at the cost of customer satisfaction. It's disheartening that we now visit Pollos Mario only once or twice a month, down from two or three times a week. Price increases, smaller portions, and additional charges are not conducive to fostering loyalty among customers. I hope the owners take this feedback into consideration. We all want to see Pollos Mario thrive, but it's important to create an enjoyable experience without pricing customers out. -------------------- Una Reseña Preocupada sobre Pollos Mario Durante años, mi cónyuge y yo hemos sido clientes leales de Pollos Mario en Hackensack, NJ. Hemos disfrutado muchas comidas aquí, desde el desayuno hasta el almuerzo y la cena, apoyando este establecimiento a través de altibajos económicos, una pandemia y la llegada de competencia en Main Street. Como uno de los restaurantes colombianos originales en Hackensack, siempre hemos tenido la esperanza de lo mejor para ellos, pero las experiencias recientes nos han dejado preocupados. Aunque la comida sigue siendo fresca y sabrosa, Pollos Mario ya no es el único en el juego. Con ocho restaurantes colombianos ahora a poca distancia, el panorama ha cambiado significativamente. Recientemente, nos encontramos pagando $32 por el desayuno, lo cual se siente exorbitante. Al reflexionar sobre nuestras visitas pasadas, es evidente que las porciones han disminuido considerablemente desde los tiempos previos a la pandemia. La arepa con queso, que solía cubrir el plato, ahora apenas toca los bordes. Ambos pedimos Huevos Revueltos, con un precio de $13.90 cada uno, que incluía huevos revueltos, una papa casera y un pastel de maíz con queso. Mi cónyuge disfrutó de un chocolate caliente o café con su comida, mientras que a mí me cobraron por separado mi Aguapanela con Limón, una bebida de caña de azúcar y limón que, al recibir la cuenta, descubrimos que no estaba incluida con el desayuno y añadió un cargo inesperado de $5 por un vaso pequeño. Esto se siente desproporcionado para lo que es esencialmente una bebida simple. Entiendo que la incertidumbre económica está afectando a muchos negocios, y los restaurantes necesitan encontrar formas de mantenerse a flote. Sin embargo, la experiencia no puede venir a expensas de la satisfacción del cliente. Es desalentador que ahora visitemos Pollos Mario solo una o dos veces al mes, en comparación con dos o tres veces a la semana. Los aumentos de precios, las porciones más pequeñas y los cargos adicionales no son propicios para fomentar la lealtad entre los clientes. Espero que los propietarios consideren estos comentarios. Todos queremos ver a Pollos Mario prosperar, pero es importante crear una experiencia agradable sin precios desmedidos.

Very pretty restaurant, with lots of colors and decorations inside. I was surprised to see their gigantic menu that has so many different kinds of items including burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, arepas, papas, ensaladas, patacons, antojos, bakery, desserts and juices. I order couple of beef empanadas and flan to go. The lady packed up my items right away, super quick service. Beef empanadas were filled with beef and potatoes, with delicious green and spicy mayo sauce on the side. I was blown away by the flan. Such creamy taste yet it was dense. Like other flans it wasn't over baked, so it still had light yellow color instead of dark brown on top. My first visit was great. I am going to stop by again to try the other items in the menu.
