I've done both take out and delivery with Mr. Pollo #2. I've tried their fish soup and their whole fish fried. Both were delicious. Looking forward to returning. The service was polite and professional. read more

The reviews for Mr Pollo #2 make sense as it wasn't good at all. I had a co-worker order some food for all of us and albeit I didn't have high hopes, I didn't know it was going to be that bad. I got some soup with the fish and what I believe was coleslaw. Out of all 3 thing, I only liked the coleslaw but how can you hate something covered in mayo (I love any and all condiments). The fish was soggy and the soup was flavorless. On top of that, it wasn't cheap- two soggy pieces of fish and meatless soup for $20? Hard pass. All in all, won't be ordering from here again. read more

Poor service, bad attitude and crooked menu practices make this a no return for me. I ordered a grubhub meal, came to pick it up and was missing the salad. I informed employee of this and he told me the meal doesn't come with a salad. I then showed him on my phone the menu on Grubhub of which I placed the order which clearly shows a salad is included. Instead of apologizing he tells me that an old menu!!! Never do business here again!!! read more

I have to say the chicken here is so delightfully tasty, as well as the lentil soup. I tried the Tuesday Special which included a hearty portion of chicken, rice, salad and lentil soup for a very incredible price. I will definitely be going back and trying other dishes that they offer, the one I selected for Tuesday was so flavorful! read more

So pleased with my first meal at a Mr.Pollo! My family decided to change Italian Friday's to Colombian Friday's with delivery from this location. They first informed us delivery will take an hour or more because they need to cook our dinners from scratch. we were patient and pleased with the outcome. we have two trays of rotisserie chicken that was extremely juicy and delicious, and I'm usually bored with rotisserie but not here ! The avocado salad was phenomal and whatever that orange dressing is is my new favorite kind. The plantains were great, and so was the potato. I should've asked for Snapple instead of the large bottle of Pepsi since my family doesn't drinks soda. I highly recommend this spot, five stars ! read more

Mr Pollo #2 - Family dinner delivery - Colombian Near Me - Whitestone, New York

This place is close to my old Queens condo and I have eaten here over 6 times when in NYC. This restaurant is a pure mom & pop operation, and the food is home cooking. The chicken, beans and rice are so good that if they were able to franchise this concept, they could become multi-millionaires overnight. I have not found a taste as good anywhere in California, especially at such a great price. They are sitting on a gold-mine and don't know it. Service is mediocre--the woman, (possibly owner) who is mainly there almost seems angry at you sometimes, especially if you come in while she is trying to do paperwork at one of the tables. The place has no personality, is kind of depressing, small, and I take it home most of the time. If you are coming here--it's for the food. That's it! read more

Soy clienta de este restaurante desde que lo abrieron! Hago pedidos casi a diario, el día de hoy estaba haciendo una orden y mientras daba la información de mi tarjeta de crédito alguien me choco por detrás y no pude continuar haciendo el pago, dos minutos después llame al restaurante a informar lo sucedido en ningún momento finalize la orden de todas maneras ellos la procesaron debido a q solo me faltaba el código postal y como soy clienta fija ellos lo sabían. Intente cancelar el pedido y la respuesta de ellos fue que NO!! Les comenté lo sucedido y lo que me respondieron fue le llevamos el pedido al choque la comida ya se está haciendo!!! E incluso me dijeron que accidentes pasan y no era problema de ellos. Me párese un servicio al cliente de lo peor perdieron una clienta fija por $26 dólares que falta de simpatía con el cliente. La peor experiencia de mi vida. read more

Very bad quality food. Empanadas we're burned and crispy like it was fried too many times. Would not recommend. read more

Mr Pollo #2 - a hand holding two pastries - Colombian Near Me - Whitestone, New York

Authentic and tastyyy Bandeja Typica (A Typical Platter) $14.50 -Carne asada, huevo frito, chicharron, maduro, arroz, aguacate, arepa y frijoles. (Grilled beef, fried egg, pork rind, sweet plantain, rice, avocado, corn cake and beans) Thanks google translate -Absolutely delicious. Carne asada was mouthwatering; pork rinds were a little hard to eat and stuck to teeth; but beans were just ugh! SO GOOD. Huge portion, took half of it home. Pricey but good -beware of picture*, you may explode! No tap water, only bottled ($1.50) :/ Mr. Pollo, I look forward to coming back. and maybe meeting Mrs. Pollo one day, she's a lucky gal *side effects may include passing out, dizziness, shortness of breath, unwanted salivation, increased blood pressure, and may or may not include whispering 'adios mios' on the floor read more

First time order via Uber Eats. They got it here super fast. We got the typical plates and the chicharron was perfect, sizable potion of meat, well cooked rice and the beans were flavorful. My son got the chicken wings and devoured them. We will definitely order again. read more

Hate writing bad reviews but I'm a Yelper and my job is to give the most accurate review and that's what I vowed to do. With that being said, this place is not great at all. Most of these reviews on here are very accurate. The customer service is so-so. The owner is rude as ever. Now the food: I ordered steak and onions and it was so disgusting. How do you burn plantains and better yet serve it? I think another Yelper asked the same thing? For the food to be that pricey, I feel as though it deserves to starkest taste good. The avocado they gave me that came with the meal was so dry and stale. And everyone knows I love me some avocado. The steak had no flavor. I had to season it myself and then eat it. What a waste of money. I wouldn't recommend at all read more

I have never dined in, so this review is simply for the take out. My fam lives across the street so sometimes we order dinner from Mr. Pollo. Out of probably 10 times ordering from here, i've only had one bad experience. Yes, the lady on the phone isn't the nicest, but it doesn't make or break it for me. Last time we ordered, she got our meals wrong so that's why I deducted a star. Some of the items are expensive, but we usually go for the mixed chicken and rice dish that comes with salad and plantains. Its about ten bucks and is more than enough for two people. read more

I gave this place a second try but definitely will not give it a third. It's is still horrible! Customer service is horrible the food is mediocre and the staff is extremely rude. My rice looks like it was drowned in food coloring extremely salty and the plantain was burned. read more

Mr Pollo #2 - a business card on a bed - Colombian Near Me - Whitestone, New York

This place is so underrated. I'm not Colombian but I love Colombian food and everything in this place tastes very authentic and well-prepared. I love their soups and empanadas are made fresh and served hot. I ordered delivery tonight- soup, which came with a side of rice and salad, and empanadas The picture someone else uploaded is definitely NOT what I get when I order from here. Maybe there's a new chef but the last few times I've ordered the food was amazing. read more

The food was cold. The meat in the soup was all fat The plantains was hard This is not authentic Spanish food it is cheap food El arroz sopudo y viejo la sopas y que carne de rabo con demasiado gordo saquen esos cocinero que no saben cosinar porq no les vamos a comprar mas estan Robando el dinero a la gente con esa comida tan mala read more

Burnt sweet plantains? Check. Two tiny sauce containers for a Typical Platter, Mr. Pollo Platter, and a large Yellow Rice? Check. In addition, I never thought Colombian food could be bland until I tried the food here. We waited an hour and fifteen minutes for our delivery so I didn't bother complaining about the charred sweet plantains. Look elsewhere for Colombian food. read more

My number 1 favorite food ever is Colombian. Never. Goes. Wrong. I just feel like its always made with love ya know? so lucky to have this in the neighborhood.

Mr Pollo #2 - Typical Platter - Colombian Near Me - Whitestone, New York

Mr. Pollo is a good Spanish restaurant. Been coming here for for a long time and it's consistently good. My favorites here are the grilled onion and steak, steak in creole sauce, and typical platter. I love the onion with steak platter. That would be my favorite out of everything. Every time I order here the portions are huge. Everything they make with steak here is very good. Ive ordered chicken here before and it was too dry. I did not like it too much. read more

This restaurant is a franchise, but thus far this location serves the most tastiest, flavorful Columbian cuisine of the 3 I have visited to date. Nice, courteous staff. Cozy, clean place with a nice family feel. Worth a try! read more

I ordered skirt steak And seafood platter tonight , I never saw anything so disgusting in my life , meat was terrible It definitely wasn't a skirt steak and it was drowning in some kind of thick yellow sauce with 1 clam and 2 Pcs of mussels few popcorn shrimp I never had anything so terrible in my life I want to emphasize it was truly disgusting read more

Mostly bad if you know what the dishes should taste like. I was most disappointed with my $3.75 side of sorry-looking, pasty white arepa with a limp link of chorizo thrown in it. Whatever dirty thought you might be imagining right now, it was that bad x2. My colleagues thought their other dishes and platters were fine, but I think this restaurant has passed the point of redemption with me. Scratching off another potential delivery spot in the sad, wasteland of a work neighborhood that is Whitestone. (Date of meal: April 2015) read more

The chicken rotisserie I ordered seemed undercooked . When slicing the chicken was pink and raw looking near the bone. Had a stomachache after eating . This place just lost a customer , not ordering here again read more

Be careful eating here I ate the combo platter here and got food poisoning the next day I've call 311 because it looks like the business owner ain't following up with good health procedures for the buissness.good luck read more

Decided to order from MR. Pollo on a lazy Saturday night. It was a nice change from the normal take out options. We placed an order for delivery and they were really pleasant on the phone , letting us know that the order would be about 40 minutes or so. They were right on time if not a few minutes early. My GF got the 1/2 chicken platter that came with a side salad and rice. She enjoyed her meal and said that the rice was really good and the chicken was good too but a little dry. I on the other hand let my inner fat kid out and got the Typical platter. It has grilled beef that was seasoned perfectly, rice and beans (with a nice hunk of pork in the beans), a fried egg, a sweet plantain and a monster Chicharon. (that's pork rind for those not in the know) It was a two whole pieces not the little nuggets so I was able to tear into it like a caveman.....a fat kid cave man. I will definitely be back to this place The service was great and the food was even better. I recommend this place to anyone who like good food at a great price, you won't be disappointed. read more

This place is pretty depressing, ordered take out and when picking up the food, the inside was pretty dark or dimmed low. Maybe they had a couple lights out to save energy since it was bright out. Nonetheless. I got the typical platter which looked pretty good before I started eating it but once I started eating, I noticed the only decent things were the rice, beans, and avocado. Everything was way too over cooked and bland. I had to quit 1/3 in because my jaw started to ache trying to chew the meat. Also was charged almost 14% on tax. It's not much since I ordered only 1 thing but if I ordered with my coworkers and the total went over $100, we would have been dropping $14 Min just for tax compared to the $9 Min (8.87%) that is regulated by ny. It sucks because I used to come here a long time ago and they had great food but now.. it's pretty bad. read more

I place an combo order and stated NO BEAN when the food arrived it had beans but no plantain. I called and the lady was like so what do you want I told her the food that I order and they act like they don't understand you. They have a sister place also in bell blvd both have horrible food. The mini beef patty was hard as a rock. The beef stew well can't really tell you how it taste since there was only 2 piece in a plate full of rice and beans. Could believe how I got ripped off by this place. Stay away from them and let them go out of business in this COVID time. read more

Overall great food and honest wait times when ordering but I've had a few experiences where they have been up to or over an hour late with ZERO effort of rectifying the issue. Can't rave about that kind of customer service but the foods great, even when it's disappointingly cold. read more

Came here last week to pick up some food. My boyfriend wanted a hearty meal and this was what he was craving. He ordered the Typical Platter for himself and the steak and onions for me with an extra side of Maduros. My steak was OK, although it was a bit different from what I am normally used to. There was literally an entire onion (large onion at that) on top of my steak. I ended up basically throwing them all away, it was way too much. And my steak was swimming in water/sauce. I actually prefer it to be a bit drier. Or not swimming. The maduros were DELICIOUS! (that is flat out my favorite, I can eat plates of them). And the rice and beans were really good too. I liked the food, but will definitely order something else the next time I am here. read more

At first I was skeptical because before I had dined at Mr. Pollo I've had nothing but terrible experiences with Colombian food. This establishment changed my perspective forever! Before I used to be afraid of choking to death on chicken bones. As many places I've tried before seemed to want to kill their customers by adding bones to the chicken and beef stew. Not this place! I've tried most of their menu without disappointment! read more

Extremely rude staff . Very unprofessional . When asking for my change one of the women looked confused like she didn't attend a math class

Food is okay. I've ordered a bunch of times. I don't like to eat there bc the women that work there are so obviously jealous my Colombian husband is with a white woman. Anyway, the women there know our address already, except this time I ordered instead of my husband ..... 2 hours later the food still issnt here and I live a block away. Incompetent isn't the word. I will never be served again by such Colombian trash read more
