Very disappointed with my purchase. I ordered Order details Item Qty Price 1-Sancocho de Cola Large ($13.50) 1 $13.50 75. Empanadas Carne y Pollo Green sauce on the side 4 $1.50 Grilled Sirloin Steak 1 $31.14 73. Maduros 1 $6.12 81. Frijol Pequeno 1 $4.00 Subtotal $60.76 Tax $5.83 Tip $10.73 Delivery fee $5.00 Total $82.32 # 1 came with 2 pieces of potato and broth. The sides that was supposed to accompany the orders were substituted for another soup with broth and plantains. How do you not have rice and salad in your Spanish restaurant. The Steak meal consisted of one of the thinnest piece of meat I've seen. Called grub hub to try and help with the dissatisfaction and was yet again disappointed. read more

I have long term memory loss from trauma and I forgot we went here and said we would not go back! But my hubby who does not have memory loss also forgot so we went here by mistake. By the time he remembered it was too late we were seated already. We said we wouldn't go back but they improved. The chicken was tasty and not dry. Thanks to the memory loss we had a good meal! read more

The place is good and the food as well. BUT, the service is HORRIBLE!!! The owner really needs to get involved and be more selective when hiring waitresses. They ALL have such a bad attitude and not friendly at all. When you ask about a suggestion or anything about the food they get bothered and ignore you. UNBELIEVABLE!!! In my case, I'm not Colombian but I have lots of Colombian friends and love their food. However, these "employees" show you such a bad attitude and answer with no class or politeness. GET RID OF THEM!!! Such a bad reputation for this great place, sadly. I won't be back. I'd rather drive further but confident that I will be treated respectfully by someone helpful and with customer service skills and of course a cheerful attitude. At the end of the day, I'm paying and ALWAYS top tipping a good service. Not the case here. read more

Great service!! The place was so clean and welcoming! And the food was Amazing will definitely be back! read more

Love this neighborhood spot! They have the BEST frozen margaritas!!! We have ordered from here numerous time for breakfast and dinner. Food is always delicious and fresh! Personal favorites are arepa con queso, empanadas, bandeja paisa and arroz con pollo. read more

When I first moved in this area, this would be the place my husband and I go to at least 2x a week for their delicious Colombian Food! I love how they make their rice here and was introduced to a new way of making it at home too (olive oil and salt). Their chicken used to be pretty tasty and flavorful as well. However, after discovering some other spots in the area and being able to compare the quality of the food and the price, my visits here and gone down. Also, their Chicken isn't as juicy as it used to be anymore and feel like it's loaded with salt. Their also pretty stingy with giving you extra green sauce! Though one thing that I do love about here is that it's open till 6am and they also have a location another location nearby that's open 24/7. Super convenient a late night dinner spot! Overall, if my other favorite spots were closed, this would probably be the my next option. If you're out late and can't find a spot to try, stop by here! read more

I love the food here. Too bad the past 3 times I've ordered, they've gotten my order wrong. I ask for a thigh piece, they give me breast... I ask for 1/4 chicken with fries and they give me fried plantains and beans. I would much rather order through a service for pick up where instructions are clearly there but they are not available for pick up except on the phone and I've done it through the phone and in person, specifically asking for what I want - yet my order is always wrong. Maybe I will try one more attempt but if its wrong again, won't be coming back to this location. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I was sitting 40 mins with my friends never got my drinks or food not even my water. The waitress never came to check up on me to tell me what was going on. Got tired of waiting and just left, they probably didn't even notice that I left. read more

el arroz Muy frio, el pescado muy tostado, las sopas sin sabor no entiendo poque Esa como da tanincipida

Wow, it's meat festival here. A lot of meat in a single dish. The BBQ pork is too oily and it's more fat than meat instead. The serving size is too big. The waitress is nice. I will give 5 stars on service and 2.5 stars on food. Overall, 3 stars. read more

Mr Mario - The toasted pork is too oily. - Colombian Near Me - College Point, New York

My fellow coworkers & i had decided to try this place for lunch after our shift. We got inside & got seated. The menu's got handed to us right away. There's a lunch special in the menu & it was Friday so we ALL decided to have the grilled chicken w/ rice & beans. The place was quite empty but our food took a good 35 mins to get to the table! Minus one star for that :( its just grilled chicken. I asked for water because i was really thirsty and did not want to finish my drink before my meal got to me. The water tasted terrible! I could taste the sweetness of the drink that was in the cup before, the water was also a pinkish color, minus one star for that:(! The service overall was great, our waitress was very nice and attentive. The food was so good too. Other than it taking long and the cup issue i was happy with the quality of the food and service. Might give this place another chance. read more

Mr Mario - Grilled chicken w/ rice & beans ($7.50 on fridays before 4pm) - Colombian Near Me - College Point, New York

Me and my family were looking for a place to order take out on Saturday, we decided to eat there because is Colombian and prices were good. When I ordered the "picada" which in the menu says it's $25.95 the girl at the counter tried to charge me $29, and when I asked her about the price change she didn't even know and was mad rude telling me the prices were old. Now my question is how come a business change its prices but not their menus and on top of it, staff gives you attitude when you ask them about it. read more

This place was much better some years ago . Took a friend of mine for his birthday , and the waitress was immature and rude( later on I would discover that since they included tip with our check , I guess the service doesn't have to be good anymore) . The food was bland , bistec criollo's was greasy and meat hard , bistec encebollado came with burned charred onions . The fish dish sauce was watery . This waitress gave us no napkins even though we kept asking her . Plus our table outside was dirty, there were empty cans and dirty napkins all around . Not my best experience and definitively an embarrassment with my friend . Pińa colada ok ( glass very tiny ) . read more

Not all Pollo Mario Restaurants are created equal and as far as I'm concerned this location is KING! Service is attentive Portions are generous and the combination platters are varied though my favorite is the 1/4 chicken with rice, fries, salad and soup. Yes, it is carb heaven so keep on walking if you're on a diet. The chicken is juicy and flavorful. Also try the fried porgy, which is delicious! And they also serve fresh juices -- passion fruit, guava which they will blend with water or milk depending on your preference. It's comfort food at it's best. Long live King Mario! read more

The food and the service were great. A good variety of food on the menu, really good environment and family friendly. read more

I usually order for delivery and I think I'm going to stick to it. I called ahead to get a chicken and a half and it was so hectic that they seem to have forgot my order. As I waited I noticed the person at the counter was running around like she did not know where to go. I really like the food but the service isn't that great I'm sticking to ordering in and the delivery usually comes before the time they say. The rotisserie chicken is very tasty read more

I ordered a sex on the beach and the waitress brought me a drink with a umbrella in it. I asked her what is this because its taste weird she said its a sex on the beach. I told her I never had a sex on the beach that taste like before. my friend taste it and said its a long island ice tea. the manager came and told me that sex on beach has coke in it. ( yes, I made a wtf are you talking about soda in it) I didnt want them to do anything to food so I said I pay for it and Im taking it with me. when I got my bill it had LONG ICE TEA on it not SEX ON THE BEACH and they didnt want to give me my drink to take. they should have just admitted they made the wrong drink and replace it instead of passing it off with a umbrella in it... the food was great, that is why they got two stars. read more

Prices are great, especially for big numbers. This location however I've noticed is not too gay friendly. 3 times already a server or waiter just are rude or serve the food with such bad demeanor. Service can be slow as servers are on the phone or by the service station. The ladies however are much more friendly and helpful were as the guys are just Bored or annoyed. Food is ok the rice and beans are top and the fish. That's my fav dish with fried yuca and salad. The location on 80tha and roosevelt is prob better although I've noticed the prices on the same dishes are 1$-1.50 more bu service is way better and their is more space read more

Cold windy night. Decided to pick up food instead of waiting for delivery. Do not trust delivery guy to keep my food warm/hot. They tell me that it would be ready in 10 mins. I get there about that time and they have not even start making my food yet. Place is empty. No other customers. I paid for my food and the lady decides to keep my 82 cents change. Waited another 20 minutes before food is ready. Netflix is on pause people! Food is not the greatest. Soggy fries. Leathery steak. Rice is bland. Would come back just cause I do not have much choice for food here in college point. read more

Mr Mario - Never again! - Colombian Near Me - College Point, New York

Tried this place on recommendation from friends. This is a great spot to eat. The food is excellent, large portions, and reasonable prices. The food was so good, I used him to cater a family event. The price was good and they hooked me up with the portions, thank you Mario. The location is a little small, with seating for about 50 people. Parking situation can get pretty competitive, depending on the time, with only street parking available. The wait staff is friendly, but could be more structured. The place has a Colombian decor to go with the food. Overall, I would recommend this place to others. Happy Yelping :) read more

Service is poor, the girls here are kinda rude. The food is okay too, I only like the arepa with cheese but I still think paying $6 for a small one is too expensive... my first time I ordered the breakfast platter that comes with rice mixed with beans, potato and eggs. The rice was cold and eggs were super salty! And guess what, it took them almost 35 mins to get our food, meanwhile others got their food first, so why was our food still cold... anyway if you come here I would recommend you tell them straight up how you want your food because if u don't you will get nasty leftovers from the day before. read more

This review is solely for customer service. I placed a delivery order for the Sunday oxtail beef soup but when I received my order, I got chicken instead of oxtail. I called back the restaurant to let them know I got the wrong order and the lady transferred me to another guy which I assume is the manager. The manager told me that they ran out of oxtail so they gave me chicken instead. I told the manager that I did not want chicken and if they ran out of oxtail, they have to call me to let me know because I would have ordered something else. You can't just give the customer something else without telling them if you ran out of the item they ordered. I told the manager that I want to exchange the order for something else and he told me that I have to pay extra to exchange my food order. This is absolutely ridiculous! What kind of restaurant gives you something you didn't order just because they ran out of the item you ordered without telling the customer and then say you have to pay extra to exchange it for something else!? On top of that, the manager was being super rude saying that they are very busy on Sundays and rushed me off the phone. They need to reprimand the person who took my order instead of being rude to the customer and not fixing their mistake. If there's no more oxtail, you tell the customer so they can order something else they choose not just take the order and then give the customer chicken. I have been ordering from this restaurant for over 8 years and I will not be ordering from there again. They lost a very loyal customer! read more

Was excited to get out and finally dine in somewhere with the family. So the family and I went here for some decent Spanish food. Food was up par with any other spot that can serve grilled steak, rice and beans. Drinks were ok for the venue we were in. And then we get the check. After looking at it I had to look up to remind myself that we weren't in a high class restaurant that was made by Gordon Ramsey himself. Don't get me wrong, if we were in such establishment then I wouldn't mind paying what we paid but the bill was insane for the little food we got and the drinks (the wife and I only got one each) were as expensive as a bottle of wine with grapes squeezed individually in Italy and aged for a hundred years covered in gold. This place gets one star because the food was edible but consumers beware, you better go to the bank and take those gold bars out to pay for your meal because they charge extra if you pay by card. read more

It was a misty and gray day. The type of day when you just don't want to leave your house for fear of getting your hair messed up. Well, leave I did. And messed up, my hair did become. At first I didn't care. I was all like "meh." As I stared in the mirror and tried to fix the frizzy situation I noticed the seams in my blouse began to rip, my buttons popped off and I became the monster that lives deep down inside of me... I became HANGRY.* And you won't like me when I'm hangry. Friend: Here's a menu, look it over, order what you want. Me: *roar* F: It's ok, please, c-c-c-calm down. No! Don't throw that TV! I'm calling right now! *dials number and places order* Me: *grumble grumble* me. eat. NOW!!! Friend: Calm the f down already dude! Stop breaking my shit! The food will be here in *buzzer rings* When the food arrives I'm surprised by the size of the order, how did we order so much food? The bandeja tipica: steak (very good), chicharron (not enough fat for me), rice, beans, avocado, sweet plantain, fried egg, an arepa and a salad. A LOT of food for the one person who ordered it. I had the rotisserie chicken (very good and came with a spicy sauce), fried yuca (very good, moist, cooked through but not dry) and an avocado salad which was surprisingly really good, there was a mix of iceberg and green leaf lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, red onions and another vegetable but I'm not sure what it was, since at this point in the evening I was under the influence and things started to get blurry. In all the meal was delicious! All that food for under $30, good times. I love me some Colombian food. ______________________ *Hangry = Hungry + Angry read more

Great place in Jackson Heights. Very generous portions of Colombian food which, according to my Colombian friend who we ate with, was very authentic. The four of us split two orders of the traditional Colombian plate- beef, chicharrone, rice and beans, a corn cake, and a fried plantain. We got an enormous amount of food. Enormous. Almost comical. And for the amount of food we got for the price we paid, I have no idea how they make money. This place is not afraid to fill you up until you can't move. Really good food and lots of it. 'Nuff said. read more

I know there is a Pollos Mario in Brentwood, Long Island and want to try. Gladly I found the chain in Jackson Heights. I was there at 11:35 am on a Saturday morning. Although I got there 5 mins after their breakfast serving ended, the staff were nice enough to made me an exception. I ordered their signature breakfast combo #2: Desayuno Montanero (Fried pork skin, poached egg, sausage, mixed rice and beans, corn cake & coffee/chocolate). Wow, a lot to eat for me. The service was fast and I immediately loved my breakfast after the first bite. I normally hate beans (yes, hate) but I was totally amazed at their rice & beans mix. The breakfast combo was so delicious, but super oily and greasy. The corn cake was rich and cheesy, the pork skin was fat and deep friend into perfection, so was the sausage. I have to admit that although I enjoyed the food, I couldn't finish 1/3 of them because of the grease. I wrapped the leftover and eventually finished it the next day. Regardless of the fat and high calorie, I enjoyed every bite of it. If only I can be more grease-tolerant. read more

The Bandeja Paisa is of extremely good quality, almost as good as the real deal back in Colombia. The beans were perfect, and finally there's a restaurant that lets you choose grounded or whole meat before they bring the wrong thing. The plantains were very well cooked, not too much but enough to make them sturdy, and the rice was spectacularly good, with just the amount of salt. While the avocado was of questionable quality the last time I had Bandeja Paisa, it is usually good and very tasty. The weakest part of the plate are probably the eggs, which are never consistent in amount of cooking and have been more than once very overcooked. But overall the service is incredibly good, the decoration looks just like home (if anyone knows Las Acacias in bogota you will probably think you are right there, in a strange and out of place franchise of said paisa restaurant) and the food is great. It is also worth mentioning that the size of the dish is humongous, probably too big unless you are used to it and know how to pace yourself. Also a little bit bad is that they don't have colombian drinks like the pollos mario in Long Island, which wouldn't be so hard to do. I simply want Colombiana with my ribs! read more

I've ordered from here multiple times because my family loves their chicken. The chicken is moist and oh so tender. I love their rice and beans, but their rice is a hit or miss at times. I've gotten delivery a few times where the rice was undercooked or I would be missing certain parts of my order but everything else is amazing. Eating at the restaurant is even better though. I love how homey it is, and the servers are really attentive. The typical platter is enough to till 2 people and their smoothies with milk is amazing! read more

No. Just no. First they brought out some pathetic, dead looking, day old bowl of salad. Then came my chicken soup...which was more like chicken bone soup with a hint of chicken. Then came my "typical Colombian" dish of an OK skirt steak, flavorless chicharron, flavorless dust cake (a.k.a. hockey puck sized corn meal pattie thing), a nice size sweet plantain (i'll give you that) and white rice with beans. I ate about 1/4 of the plate and left. Again I say, NO. read more

Great spot for your Colombian food fix. They have all your typical dishes including everyone's favorite bandeja paisa. Oh and of course all the Colombian sodas you'll need. Plenty of tables and TVs. The service is friendly and the restaurant is clean. read more

I end up coming here when I'm craving their entrana (skirt steak) on a sizzling pan. A little chimmichuri sauce on it, and I'm good to go!! Of course the bandeja is great. Order this and you're guaranteed to bring home a doggie bag. When it comes to portions, they don't skimp. The decor is almost like being in Colombia as well. My boyfriend loves coming here after bringing him here once and it's always as good as the first time I visited. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's close to home and it had the best Colombian food. It's very fresh and homemade like. The prices are very reasonable and you get a lot of food for what you pay for! Delivery is very quick. And if you eat in the restaurant everyone is so nice and helpful! read more

Mr Mario - In touch with my heritage - Colombian Near Me - College Point, New York

Chicken in this restaurant is nice and the price is good, we always order delivery from them. However, i feel really disappointed by the delivery guy today. He show my bf the bottom part of the bill which is $28.XX, cover the top part of the receipt and refuse to show the complete receipt which my bf knows its over price of 2 chicken only. My boyfriend paid $30 and took the bill away from the delivery guy came home and called the restaurant to check the price. They said our bill was $22.XX. At the mean time, the delivery guy knock my 2nd door (my house has 2 door, metal door then wood door- HE OPEN MY 1ST DOOR WITHOUT PERMISSION). i answer the door and he keep explaining to me his brother mess up the bill, then he return me $6 and keep the rest for his tips. I wast know the story at the time if not i will ask him take the order away and i will call to complaint again. Restaurant manager is nice, they call us back right away to apologize. Thats why i still willing to give them 4 star.... fault is not on the restaurant, its the person who delivery try to fake us. i wish they will take action for the delivery guy. read more

Awesome rotisserie chicken I've had in awhile compared to other Peruvian restaurants. Friendly and quick service!

I've been sitting on my 99th review, unsure of what to break my 100th review with. So I thought, what's better than Pollos A La Brasa? Came in here with the girls &the three of us shared a booth upstairs. Firstly, the sangria here is awesome! It doesn't taste like boxed wine, and the splash of cherry grenadine really adds a nice touch to it. It was so long ago I don't remember quite what we ordered, but it was pretty much a sampler platter. It easily fed the three of us. As mentioned-- portions here are HUGE! Be prepared to really eat. I'm talking, borderline thanksgiving eat. Luckily the food is delicious and you won't feel terrible eating it. It's not the same kind of "full" as eating 6 things off the dollar menu at your local McDo. My favorite thing about my dinner was the perfection of the rice &beans. Oh. Mah. Gaaahd! Next time I'm ordering a side of it to myself. That's something you secretly won't want to share! The portion of grilled chicken wasn't my favorite, but the bone in thigh was to die for. Steak &chicharron were wins too! Don't be intimidated by the whole atmosphere of the place. Even if you don't understand/speak spanish you'll get taken care of. Waitresses are very accommodating. I willlllll be back :) read more
