Nice people. The waiter gave me a free bottled water for my to-go Pollo Dorado$18. This dish is a deep fried chicken thigh with a little side salad and rice. You have a choice of beans or fries. They truncated the menu. One side is Mexican food, the other side is Colombian food. read more

I was in the neighborhood looking for a different restaurant which I realized was closed. This looked good so I stopped in. The owner was incredibly friendly and took great care of us. He gave us free bowls of soup and I had the pechuga pollo (grilled chicken) which came with a side salad, rice, and french fries. The portions were very large and I couldn't eat all of the chicken. Although the entrée prices were a little higher than I would expect from this type of restaurant, the portions were very large and seemed like a good value. read more

Cute comfy Colombian place offering lots of authentic Colombian dishes! The owner has been making Colombian arepas for over 35 years and him and his wife make the best I've ever had! So yummy, soft, tasty and crispy on the outside with yummy salsa. Can't wait to come back and get a full plate of other yummy food! read more

Mr. Pollo - Arepitas de Queso (x4 /order) $14.99 SALSA IS DELICIOUS! - Colombian Near Me - Daly City, California

Amazing Bandeja Paisa. Thin but nicely done steak, perfectly fried arepa, crispy chicarron and very flavorful sausage. Beans, rice, plantain and avocado also all done right. read more

The cheese enchiladas (3) plate was really good - would get again - and came with refried beans and a yellow rice sauteed differently from typical taquerias. Usually sides on plate items are meh but were unexpectedly delicious here. A picante over the spicy sauce made it so good. Even the carne asada regular taco was good, though both al pastor and chorizo were unavailable that night. The menu is literally the same ones from the pictures three years ago, and prices remained the same. Pretty good value considering most/all? equivalent spots have raised their prices a few times. Only one lady was doing it all on my visit, and she spoke broken English but the menu has lots of photos. The food order came out in good time and service was super friendly. The inside is a restaurant but really equate it to taquerias. Don't expect fast casual or even noodle house atmosphere. The place looks like it's been around a long time and aesthetics is not a high priority. Just come for the food. read more

I wish I could give this place negative star. This place is not worth your money or time. $13 for three chicken tacos which looks nowhere close to taco. It looks and tastes like somebody just put some boiled chicken in there with some onion and cilantro. There is nothing in this "so called taco". read more

This place tried to charge me more then the listed price. When I asked he said because of sales tax which he tried to hussle and charge way more then the correct SF %. When confronted he gave me a refund, but that is shady business. read more

Todo fue estupendo! El señor del restaurante nos atendió con un gran cariño que se nota que le nace del corazón. La arepa (mi primera en la vida!) estuvo delicioso, y la sopita de pollo era lo más rico que había probado en la vida. Muchísimas gracias Mr. Pollo! read more

Got the Bandeja Paisa and Arepa Mr Pollo. This was for an early dinner. Took about 20 minutes to get our takeout order. Great flavors and textures in both. It was my first time having Colombian food, and I was pleasantly surprised. For the Bandeja Paisa, the chicarron was crunchy, white rice flavorful, and the arepa had a nice chew. This was enough for two meals. The Arepa Mr Pollo was also good. We really enjoyed the sauce. The person who had it felt it was a bit salty. Some rice or beans on the side could have helped balance that out. Looking forward to visit again and try other items on the menu. read more

Stopped over while in Daly City with a friend, picked up the empanadas and arepas something little light for us along with the passion fruit juice made with water. Service was attentive and quick despite the Covid guidelines and needing to wait outside. My first time here and everything was delicious and nice and toasty warm for the weather being chilly. Definitely worthy of a next visit. Thank you read more

Super good Colombian food. Bandeja Paisa had excellent sausage and chicharon. The Patacon Relleno Mr. Pollo had some of the best meats I've had recently in it. And the aji/picante was absurd. I dipped about everything possible in it because it was so tasty. Beans were cooked in a very tasty sauce which gave them a lot of flavor. My son loved the arepas and papas criollas, as did I. Recommended for Colombian food in the Bay Area. Best I've found so far. read more

It's so refreshing to have some versatility in the Daly City Area. This restaurant speaks to that diversity because it's Colombian based and offers a variety of Mexican food as well. But predominately Cuban food is sold here which is so nice to have because it's hard to find in this area. Here are some words that will help me get my point across. Deliciousness, freshness, and very filling. These are the verbs that describe this restaurant and it's food in my opinion. Anthony was our server and he was very polite and had no problem explaining the different kinds of food and even its origins in Columbia. He grew up there with his family so it made it feel so much more authentic. More authentic than some of these restaurants that claimed they cater to that specific cultures food. Yet get their recipes off of a social media website. Here you have authentic Colombians cooking these meals and it definitely shows in the flavor and the freshness. We ordered the empanadas. They were light and deep fried to perfection and filled with a potato and beef. The Arepas were also delicious but the great treat for me was the national dish of Columbia called Bandeja. This is a huge platter of multiple items such as: Chicharron, beans over rice that are sautéed in pork fat, Carne Asada steak (which was very salty). With a side of chorizo sausage and topped with and egg that's cooked over easy. I will gladly return to try more dishes off the menu. The inside of the restaurant is painted beautifully to represent parts of Columbia. It's colorful and the restaurant overall is clean. I was very satisfied with my meal and left extremely full, so all in all a great start to a restaurant that I will hopefully visit frequently. read more

Preliminary review based on 1 visit Date of Visit: July 24, 2022 Rating: Could have been better Reason: Did not know what to order, so I ordered a burrito. There was a group of girls ahead of me. They ordered two bags worth of food. I waited for about 10-15 minutes after the girls picked up their food to remind the guy inside about my order. Another couple came and got their appetizer before my burrito. I had to remind the lady again to get my food. I was there for more than 35 minutes for one burrito. They were not that busy and the food was acceptable butnot worth the wait. I am willing to give it another try. read more

A couple co-workers and I visited Colombia a few months back and we were reminiscing the bandeja paisa we had during our trip. Yelp showed that this was the only restaurant near San Francisco that served this dish, so we made a trip down here from the city after work. It was a short 10-15min walk from the Daly City bart station. The restaurant is small with six 2-4 person tables inside and two 2-person tables out front. We came to the restaurant around 6pm on a weekday with 12 people. Since the page said the restaurant didn't take reservations, we just walked in. Luckily the place was empty when we arrived so the owner helped us in putting 4 of the tables together to accommodate all of us. We ordered four bandeja paisa dishes total along with tacos, burritos and a few other dishes. The bandeja paisas took the longest but everything else came out pretty quickly. Everything tasted delicious and I could not stop eating my dish even though I was past full. My co-workers and I loved the food and will definitely be coming back again in the future! read more

I'm Colombian. I love Colombian food and I have been searching for a Colombian restaurant for a couple of years now since my favorite Colombian restaurant in the mission district closed down. I was eager to find this place through Yelp. I decided I was going to bring my dad here for his birthday lunch. When my family and I walked in, we were completely ignored. There was a table in the corner with dirty dishes piling up. And the owner did not care! He left them there and kept adding the dirty dishes there! Red Flag number 1. But because we wanted to try the food we stayed. The waiter, whom I figured out is also the owner of the restaurant. The menus were sticky and falling apart. The owner took our orders for drinks. We waited 20min to get our drinks. My dad had to remind the owner of our drinks! And the owner had the audacity to say "oh you ordered drinks?" No we just decided to sit there for 20mins! Like what the absolute fuck?!?! When the drinks came out the owner took our order for food. We ordered empanadas for our appetizers and bandeja paisas for the main course. The cooks clearly do not know how to make Colombian food. The empanadas are soggy. One empanada was not cooked thoroughly. The bandeja paisas were not up to par. Meat was burnt. Not a lot of seasoning. And to top all the shit we dealt with, I walked up to pay for the bill and the owner announced how much my bill was to the entire restaurant! I was so pissed off! You're the owner! How the hell are you okay doing that to a customer?!?!?! This place needs to learn how to treat their customers, how to wait tables, how to clean and how to cook food! I will definitely NOT return and I will NOT recommend this place to anyone! read more

food is traditional and fast. great restaurant, good service. radiating family ambience

Arrogant and disrespectful workers. Poor customer service . Don't come here there are other better options,

I used to go here for some good ass arepas like three years ago and i finally got the chance to be in the area so i call them to ask for the price and as i thanked them for letting me know (so that i can order 6 once i get there), & he tells me, in an irritated ass tone of voice, "Solo llaman para joder," which means that i only called to bother them and sarcastically says you're welcome just to hang up on me instantly. That man is HELLA RUDE lol never again. It be your own community sometimes fr smh. read more

Mr. Pollo - Bandeja paisa - Colombian Near Me - Daly City, California

Fattest burrito I've ever seen, hands down. The super burrito sets you back only $9, and this thing is a behemoth with loads of juicy meat and yellow rice. The carnitas here are juicy, and their pollo ranchero is smoking hot and juicy, even though it's all white meat. Sure, there's no ambiance, and the whole place is sticky, but if you care, then take it to go. Service is great, and the food comes out quickly. Is it as family friendly and big time as Celia's? No, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Give Mr. Pollo a shot. You'll thank me later. read more

Mr. Pollo has the most authentic and delicious Colombian cuisine in the Bay Area! Their food is delicious and plentiful. My cousins are part Colombian and I grew up in Miami eating their grandmas arepas, and Colombian food in general! I've also visited Cali, Colombia for a wedding and the food practically solidified that I'd love to retire in Colombia. My point is - Mr. Pollo is the real deal and a little piece of that! Def recommend trying. 5/5. I had the traditional bandeja paisa, mojarra, empanadas and arepas. If you add an extra egg to the bandeja paisa, I'd say it's enough for two meals. Their empanadas and arepas are also bomb! I've bought a large amount before road trips to snack on. It's nice to have a variety of Latin food in the Bay Area! read more

Well I have been dying to try some Colombian Empandas . And have never found anything as good as my old fave on Valencia which shut down mostly likely due to gentrification. Well the rating seemed great so we decide to try it . Empanadas: I will say they were mediocre. Very doughy and not as crispy as I remember Arepas: looked liked mini pupusas , however they taste nothing like them . Maybe it's an acquired taste ! I say leave pupusas to the Salvadorean restaurants . Quesadilla Suiza: OMG ! Filled with oil ! I don't think the grill is cleaned I have attached a photo for you to judge . Maybe you like oily quesadillas read more

I guess this place used to be called Romo's Taqueria. I'm not sure what the name is now because I saw more than one name; it's either Somo's Taqueria or Taqueria Aguila de Oro #2. The sign for Colombian food drew me in. Most of the menu is standard Mexican fare (burritos, quesadillas, tortas, nachos, chilaquiles, seafood plates), with random items like hamburgers and Philly cheesesteaks. Their Colombian items included salchipapas and arepas. The décor is pretty much what you'd expect at a taqueria, with painted murals and a TV. As I was waiting for my food, I heard the sound of a microwave. Hmm. It still took a long time for the food to come out. * Arepa with beef: I was expecting beef stuffed inside a corn cake (and in the picture they had on the wall, that's what it looked like) but I received something that resembled and tasted like a messy tostada/fajitas hybrid. The arepa/corn cake was thick and hard. It was topped with some chewy strips of beef, sour cream, thin guacamole, sautéed bell peppers, lettuce and cilantro. It wasn't good and it didn't seem fresh. Maybe having multiple names is a smart strategy for them. read more

Never saw Columbian food before so was excited to try it out. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/l_QTl96yNmYbyjvNpRUO9w?select=Ng4tjGd60IVgaS4ShdGzQA) Came for a weekday lunch; it was pretty empty. You order at the counter and the food is brought to you. The interior has murals. The didn't have lines of cocaine as a menu item but they had Mexican favorites like tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc. even hamburgers. I focused on the South American stuff with everything coming out to around $40 with tax and tip. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/l_QTl96yNmYbyjvNpRUO9w?select=TO_2jIIRZaw2TDYVzQYQiA) *EMPANADAS - Recommended by the cashier. Deep fried to perfection they were filled with this creamy potato mixture that could have used some seasoning. Pico was given as a side. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/l_QTl96yNmYbyjvNpRUO9w?select=9wTWIQttaR_gOGMolXyerg) *BANDEJA PAISA - The national dish of Columbia! A platter of chicharron (this one was deep fried pork meat not skin), carne asada (Mexican style), chorizo, rice, beans, and topped with an over easy egg. Everything but the chorizo had subtle flavors. Not a lot of spice since they don't use alot of chilies. Thought I'd be more excited but wasn't. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/l_QTl96yNmYbyjvNpRUO9w?select=p64GkWAsrJQVkmPha2OGJA) *PATACON RELLENO - Best dish, order this. Thought it was going to be like chili relleno but it was more like carne asada fries over plantains instead of french fries. Really good flavors. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/l_QTl96yNmYbyjvNpRUO9w?select=P7uv-qIC6RVTVgcwMWMqLg) ARROZ CON POLLO - Chunks of dark meat chicken, frozen veggies?, with rice similar to the paisa except this one added a sauce. I prefer Peruvian Arroz con pollo. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/l_QTl96yNmYbyjvNpRUO9w?select=ecnZas0jdeRKnRTO4Bo-JA) Reasonably priced. It was cool trying out, I think outside of trying their arepas I'm not in a rush to go back. read more

Disappointed...Knowing how small this place is, we arrived early and waited outside before they opened for the three or so tables that are inside. The competitive vibe for seating was apparent as one of the larger, overly enthusiastic patrons pushed past our party of four to the front door when it opened into the tiny space. Everything would have been good had it been warm (not cold; the wind blowing in the front door put a chill on each dish). The idea of each dish was great, but it just didn't deliver in flavor, texture or experience. We were up-sold on the arepas, which I found to be tasty, but lukewarm with a cold fried egg on top. Far from satisfied, we actually had to dine elsewhere, again later that night to actually eat and be satisfied. This is a great concept, a tiny, tasting-only adventure, where the cook can be seen creating each dish, the entire menu supposed to be amous bouche. But the food, the service, the ambience, wind and all, just didn't make us feel satisfied nor nourished.Don't waste your time or money read more

Have you ever saw great artwork on the walls of a resturant so small?! I did, and this place is Aguila de Oro#2. I don't have a rat's clue what Aguila de Oro #1 is like, but if it's like #2, it's da sh*t!!!! (in the good way, sorry for silly pun). Taking #2 isn't a dump, it's rather clean. LOL. The walls are painted with Mexican and Colombian style theme art work. It rather beautiful to look at. The tables are in the styles of old 1950's red and white tileds. The places has photos of the wall on it's walls, and a nice television to watch Spanish music videos. The staff guy was nice, maybe too nice, I guess he knew who I was, and really really wanted me to eat at this place, that or he needs the business. Anywho, I did. He explain pretty well, the food, but kinda forcing by hinting to get the more expensive food. I didn't fell for it and just got something simple for my wallet and my taste. Here is the menu: Tacos are $2.00 and Super Tacos are $3.50. Veggie Taco $3.00 and Taco Aquila De Oro $4.99 Burritos are &5.35, $6.50 for super burrito, Veggie Burrito $5.99, Burrito Aguila De Oro $10.99, and $9.99 for Burrito Mojado. Quesadillas are $6.25, Super Quesadillas $7.50, Quesadillas Veggie is $5.99 and Quesadillas Aguila De Oro $10.99. The Dinner Meals are better, but expensive. Tasty, but cost more. Carne Asada Chicka Dinner, Mojarra Frita cost $10.99 Somos Taqueria $12.95, Aquila De Oro Dinner, Patacon Relleno, Bandeja Paisa for &11.99 Arepi Burger and Arroz Con Pollo $8.50 Sopa De Pollo $6.50 1 orden 4 Arepas $6.00 1 orden 4 empanadas $6.00 Salchipapa: $4.99 and Arepa Rellena for $6.99. There is natural juice selection here for 4 bucks. They are Mango, Guanabana, Maracuya, Mora, Fresa, Banana, Papaya, Lulo, and Pina. The food I got wasn't very tasty, but I know there are great food on this menu. Over all: good location site, extreme customer service, hit or miss food: some good, some bad. read more

Probably one of the worst plates of Latin food I have bought ( and expensive $40 for two plates). My husband and i were excited to find a Columbian place to try but this should have been skipped. Food was bland, over cooked, greasy and quality was very poor. The only thing I enjoyed from my plate was the plátano...but you really can't mess that up. The place was in need of a good cleaning and we decided to order our food to go. As a Latin person, I love going to restaurants and supporting my people but it's very disappointing when I don't see much effort on their part to get customers to want to stay or come back. I would tell the owners to have a bit more pride for the place and give it some love and care. read more

There are not many pleasures that we can enjoy right now during these shelter in place ordinances and I was so happy to find this little Colombian treasure. After living in Tampa and Miami, certainly our bar is high. My 9yo daughter said these are the best empanadas she has ever tasted and she's very picky :). We ordered a bandeja paisa and the flavors immediately took me back to my grandmother's cooking :). We also ordered the Patacon Relleno and my Mexican husband thought the flavors were excellent! The owners were so kind and shared with us some Masato de Arroz fermentado and I brought some home to my mother. She was thrilled because she hadn't tasted this delicious drink since leaving Colombia 47 years ago. We are so greatly pleased to find this Bay Area treasure and look forward to our next 40min drive to stock up on some of these favorites! read more

Walked by this place last night, looked at the menu and decided to come back today. My god was it a great decision. The food was excellent. I ordered the Chicken Sandwhich w/ bacon.. Literally one of the best chicken sandwiches in SF. This was the only Sandwhich that could compare to Boos Voni down near Geneva & Mission. The chicken was grilled perfectly and the melted cheese really complimented the bun. Will I return? YES. The customer service is also very great! Friendly cashier and friendly waitress. Always checked up on us to make sure we were okay as well as the food. read more
