Whole chicken
Oscar B.

The food is great but the old man needs an attitude adjustment. He needs to learn how to speak to customers while taking orders. The young staff is very kind and helpful. I wish I could give the 5 stars but that old man was awful.

Picada & Sopa de Costilla de Res @ Pollo Riko in Hialeah, FL.

My wife found this place by accident. She was looking for a place that sells "chicharrones" and found pictures of this place on Google. She was curious about the food because the pictures of the food looked really good. When we arrived, right away, we noticed that the service was exceptional. You could tell that this place cares for their customers. The food was just as expected. It was beyond delicious. My wife had the "Picada" and "Sopa de Costilla de Res." She enjoyed every bite. I had the #4 which is 1/4 Chicken with Rice and Fries. The chicken tastes ridiculously good. You could tell that they specialize in chicken. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to try authentic Latin dishes.

I believe this Colombian Restaurant has been here for about 36 years if I'm not mistaken. Just that being said iff speaks volumes. I remember being a child and my mother bringing us to this place. Pollo riko is a staple of chicken joints in Hialeah. Chicken soup is beyond delicious. It's cooked the Colombian way and definitely tastes like my grandmas recipe. They have several combos to choose from. Combo #1 brings a soup, white rice, a baked potato and 1/4 of chicken of your choice and a drink. They have this house made ajiaco Sauce which they bring out every time you order. It's delicious as well. Now one of my favore items from thIs place is s they're read beans. I'm a big fan of the way Colombians cook they're red beans. Definitely a great place to grab a quick plate of some REAL food.

I've been meaning to go for a while, but was disappointed. Chicken was OK, My plate came with a plantain with cheese but it wasn't even melted in like the photo showed. It looked like a piece of onion. I wouldn't go again.

just chicken

First night in Ft Lauderdale we ate at Colombian Mountains Cafe. The food was delicious, the…read moreservice was top notch. Very friendly and kind. Wasn't too bothered with a group of 4 guys being silly. Our server, Jamie was an exceptional server who made our experience truly memorable. He even created a selfie station -- such a fun and creative touch that any influencer would absolutely love. Highly recommend checking it out! Get the empanadas!

We had a pretty terrible experience two days ago. I was visiting and there with a friend who was a…read morelocal. We had a server named Dan. He was very friendly but here is a list of things that went wrong. 1. Dan tried to imitate what Chinese sounded to him, speaking gibberish. Not cool. 2. He missed part of my order. 3. My friend got a shard of glass in his mouth. We noticed a chip in his glass. Dan said he'd talk to his boss and came back to say the shard matches the chip in the glass perfectly and apologized and said they'd comp part of the meal. 4. We never received a check but his manager brought me the device to swipe my card. I foolishly did without asking to see the bill. Got it texted to me when I noticed that nothing was comped AND we got charged for a pastry I didn't receive. 5. I went inside and asked for the pastry to go since we were charged for it. The manager tried to charge me for it a SECOND time. 6. My friend pointed out that nothing was comped and that isn't what they agreed to. They apologized and said they'd comp the whole meal. 7. The WHOLE charge hit my credit card today. I'm disputing the charge with my credit card company but I would definitely not return.

I have never wanted to leave to go somewhere else because of parking but this was the place. It is very tough to get a spot here and it is crazy small the lot so I was basically bumper to bumper with other cars in the little back area here. The staff though, insanely fast and friendly. I was able to get my order placed and everything came out fast and prompt with no hiccups. I like that at this place, there is a button on the table that you press to call your server over and they would arrive so darn quick! The food, the star of the place. Everything that I had was cooked to perfection and the flavors were out of this world! I got the parrillada mixta, which was $30, consisting of a grilled chicken breast, pork chop, grilled steak and two sides. I had rice and beans for the side. The chicken breast was flavorful and massive! The pork chop was seasoned well and had a nice juicy flavor to it and the steak was phenomenal and cooked perfectly! The chicken empanada appetizer was also very good and the sauce it came with was the standout of the dish, it had a perfect zesty flavor! The place is very nicely lit and it makes you feel like you are in someone's backyard with the way they designed it and it was very welcoming! I will be back here without a doubt because of how amazing this place was!

Culture aside, I instantly opted for Bandeja Paisa restaurant because of the solid reputation and excellent experience. My family was overjoyed to have Aura as our waitress, she was personable, knowledgeable, super patient and made the entire dining experience go from 4 to 5 stars. She truly is one of a kind when it comes to the personal touch and familiarity of what a family meal is. The food was amazing. I am an enormous fan of the consome I think it's the perfect way to whet my appetite, Stoke, the figurative food flames if you will. The favorite appetizer of the night was the plantains and fried cheese while I enjoyed the Churrasco steak and the table enjoyed the Bandeja paisa along with delicious traditional beverages. It's one of the best family outings. I've had thanks to the service and the quality of food. An admirable quirk I notice was the decor in that it looks like it was actually decorated by someone familiar with colombia versus someone who simply googled images of colombia; so 10 points to Gryffindor for authentic attention to detail Also, everything was very reasonably priced, and I was really impressed with the serving size of the Churrasco steak. The food was so good. We practically ordered the exact same order to go. That tells you something about how good it was on the spot that we knew we would want to eat it again a little later.
