I recently visited Pollos Doña Maria and had a great experience. It's clean and spacious with plenty of booth sitting. Our server, Steven Esteban, provided excellent customer service and made sure we had everything we needed. There is plenty of meal combinations, we started with the chicken empanadas, which were crispy and delicious, and came with a flavorful green sauce. For my entree, I ordered the chicken, beans, and rice it came with two fried ribs. I have never had fried ribs and didn't try it, I would have preferred black beans, but they only serve pinto beans. The chicken was little dry, I added the green sauce to the rice and beans and viola it was good. My friend ordered the shrimp, fries and rice, they added a piece of fish courtesy of Esteban. We ended with cocktails, coconut margaritas. I was pleased with the drinks and the service. I will visit again and explore different menu options. read more

Giving a 1 star, while placing our orders, we specifically noted to the waitress NO PORK, NO BEEF.... She said okay. Give us other options which we went with. While eating I noticed there was pork feet in the beans. Which really got me upset, because we clearly stated to her no pork or beef'. There were no indications of pork feet in the beans. read more

I was wondering why poor rate? But I definitely agree with all this people, I can believe this roasted chicken were so bad, looks like they buy this chickens at bjs or Costco and reheated in the venue. Service good, ambience? Just like any other place that I visit there is no ambience! Hope the owner can read this words and perform better food service here. So disappointed. read more

food took way too long to be served & seen a mouse come out of the kitchen walked out right away

I was there las Friday October 22,2022 and I am very disconnected the food was horrible, everything cold, absent of taste and of very bad quality. My orden was of seafood casserole, grill chicken breast, house salad with avocado, sweet plantains and chicken empanadas.. the waitress was in shame that he apologized many time for the bad experience we left all the food on the table he was asking if we want to pack it but honestly that food was not act for be consumers by any human being. We paid over 100.00 oh better said we throw money in the garbage. Well we ends making a sandwich at home and telling to all my friends that please don't go there. Is not worthy. read more

I have been going here since 2016 and they food has always been spectacular. The breakfast platter is very filling and portions are massive for an affordable price. Highly recommended read more

I ordered the #9, which comes with steak, chicchoron, arepa, white rice, red beans, very ripe plaintain (my fave), an egg and green sauce all for $12.95!!!! It was AMAZING!!! The papaya con leche was also very good. The food is made to order. You can taste the season and the "fresh off the stove" goodness. The service wasn't bad either. It's family friendly, good Colombian music, not a huge space, but a decent size. Right off the J train and near two bus lines. I will def come back! read more

Lack if seasoning on the chicken. Beans tasted like sweat. Fried green plantains were terrible. Horrible. Go anywhere else. Not worth the $22 with tip for delivery. read more

DONT ORDER FROM HERE ON SEAMLESS Placed an order. $50 for rice and beans. Okay... Waited an hour. Nothing. Called them. Woman on the phone tells me. Oh wait. Let me turn my tablet on. Wait 5 mins. Comes back. Says. Oh i never turned my tablet on. We never got your order. Are you serious ?? An hour later and you don't even know of my order cause you didn't think to "turn on the tablet". No apologies. No nothing. And now I have to wait a week to get my funds back. Fantastic. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. NEVER AGAIN read more

It's a wonderful place to eat. Been going here for years. Staff is very nice and food is always good

They don't understand English and they mess up my order all the time, I order the number 5 and they forget the chicharron or forget to put the yellow rice Check your order before you go home read more

The two star standing made no dent in my decision making process to stop in for lunch. Although seated in a prominent location, the patrons within-- were few, to the tune of four. As a side note: Jamaica Ave & Woodhaven Blvd is as big and ad busy an intersection as there is from Queens Blvd all the way to the Belt parkway, not to mention the train that runs above, multiple busses passing through, its a primo location. A gradually heightened ceiling illuminated by red neon-- converging into a light blue sky design gave unique character, only disturbed by the deep aqua booths with roughly treated table tops that sat below. Quite a lot for the sat upon to look as the hours pass without rear ends to mute the illumaniti. Pictures on the walls illustrate an odd fascination for the corpulent. Police officer, ranchero and a porky woman in the bathroom didn't entice much appetite. The $9.95 lunch special started odd well enough but a poor conclusion, much to my chagrin was in play. The 1/4 chicken was tasty, the spate ribs consisted basically of burnt pork fat. The rice and beans was terrible, bland, slimy and hard to get down the hatch. I really wanted to like Dona Maria, great service, clean inside, but the food just didn't deliver. read more

Bland, over priced food but somehow parts of it were super salty. The flavor was so uneven. The maduro had a strange texture to it and very little flavor. The chicken barely had meat on it. I also didn't appreciate the rice much. Nothing to write home about here. I stopped in to grab a quick lunch since I was in the area and they charged me an additional fee for a take out container. The food wasn't even placed in a container, but in a bag. When I addressed this with them, they changed containers instead of refunding what they charged. Everything was disappointing. I'd say go elsewhere. read more

Been here a few times food is inconsistent and never very good . We got empanadas they were ok one was burnt I mean cremated split open and almost blank on one side . Waiter have up serious attitude about returning it . Place also seems dirty and like the food service is inconsistent , a local outside the place told us about a better Colombian place not to far away we will try that one next time for sure ! read more

Great service, tasty food. Kid/ Baby friendly. Food came in a decent amount of time. All meats were cooked and juicy! Our family enjoyed it all! read more

I always want to go there just for the food .... read more

Great spot for Colombian fare - well priced & good, friendly service! Place is clean & service is prompt!

I was craving Colombian food, I came here and the beans were HORRIBLE, I don't get it God gives you a business and you don't even care about the food you are making people pay for, next time I'm going to Caridad Restaurant - Dominican food, two blocks away, the food is WAY BETTER, not kidding you, at least you get to see how the food is before you buy it because everything is displayed. Not happy at all! read more

The food is good, service too. But, they charged a Customer Disc. Adjustment fee which is really a credit card fee. Pay cash if you can. You've been warned. read more

The meal for a family was great! Although when it's for 4 ppl they literally only give you 4 tostones lol (that sucked). Everything else was delicious and the delivery guy came quick! Was a great last minute take out dinner. read more

3 to sit Oder 1 rotisserie with white rice, 1 rotisserie with yellow rice,1 avocado salad ,1 side Oder or fried green plantain and one large soup... This is it both orders white rice. 2 waters No soup, when I ask 2n time soup comes NO spoon to boot food not the soup was cold ???? Never again. read more

IF I COULD GIVE A NEGATIVE RATING Rude service delivery not on timely manner food quality was not up to part with the price management does not have control over their business the person that picked up the phone when I had called to place the order spoke to the manager named Carlos and he seemed not to care they are acting like there's no other place to get TRUE COLOMBIAN FOOD with out the NASTY ATTITUDE and better prices read more

Great customer service, awesome Columbian food and AWESOME MOJITOs!! Whatttt don't sleep on them..

This place has been a hit and miss for my two visits. First visit, I was excited and pleased that my meal was so good. My second visit wasn't as great. As a matter of fact, the food was mediocre. I will give it one last chance before deciding if I become a regular or look for another hot spot. read more

If I could give this place a 0 I would. First time here, ordered my food to go. The rice was sticky, the beans had some sort of seasoning that smelled like arm pits . My boyfriend ordered bistec encebollado . The only good thing was the onions , the steak was hard and veiny. I ordered the chicharron de pollo and the chicken had the fat when u bit into it. We are not people to throw out food but we threw it all out and just had a ham and cheese after paying this place $35.00. And to add insult to injury I never tipped them and they took it upon themselves to add a $2.00 tip to the bill. MCDONALDS would have been better then this crap. What an insult to Our COLombian food. read more

We went here a few years ago and it was very good. We come back here recently and it fell off. Service isn't as good and food isn't as good

I came here after work with a coworker about 3 years ago the food was so amazing I could not wait to come back but just haven't had the chance to come back until last night.. So my husband ordered the grilled chicken breast with rice and beans. I have no idea what this waiter was doing but he kept on showing me his thigh area and was motioning that it was opened up. So when my husbands food came I look at the chicken and which was clearly not grilled as I showed you guys in the picture. It looked like it was cooked on flat top. It looked super oily and super greasy. So when I address this with the waiter he insisted that it was chicken breast but he still kept on pointing to his thighs. So I said no, it it is boneless chicken thigh evidently I know a thing or two about cooking and I do know that chicken breast is not darker and showed him the chicken breast that I had... clearly both colors were very different.... Ultimately I got tired of telling him that it was not what we ordered the rice and beans were disgusting the beans smelled as if there was a utensil used in seafood use in the beans to stir it up or something.... Honestly the beans smells like tuna I have no idea how that's possible. The rotisserie chicken I had was extremely dry that I just left everything on touched. To get water I had to wave down three waiters one of the waitresses was sitting there with the family showing her pictures from facebook.. My waiter was sweeping the floor while there were several customers there I wonder if that was appropriate,oh gee, I don't think so..... The décor is from an old creepy diner from the early 80's... Definitely never coming back here again only if there was a way to give them a no star I would. Granted you will get half of a chicken rice and beans for about $8, but you will have no taste to that meal plus runny green sauce read more

I've been coming here since I was a child with my parents.. I come from Colombia and this place takes me back home each time. Amazing quality meats, the rice is the best, and oh man, bandeja con todo is my regular order! Everyone should at least try once if you're a meat lover like me. They also have seafood/breakfast/lunch options... The music takes me back home, and the waitresses are like second mothers to me. So sweet and kind. read more

I wish there were better Colombian food spots in my neighborhood . This place is terrible . First the quality of the food just really deteriorated . The service is so slow . For people who don't knew what good Colombian food tastes like they will think it's ok . But skip it .. Go to the Peruvian spot a few blocks down around 101 st and Jamaica ave. read more

There rotisserie chicken is so tasty. Make sure to get extra green sauce!! We get the family meal and are never disappointed.

I Don't Get Why People Complain About This Restaurant, The Food Is GREAT!! And The Service Have Been Perfect The Times I Have Been There (Maybe I Was Lucky) But Everytime We Don't Know Where To Eat We End Up Here Because Is So Great That You Literally Will Always Say Yes!! read more

Overpriced food... And man these people do not clean their shrimp... this was my first time trying Columbian food, or any Hispanic food really, I ordered garlic shrimp thinking it was safe. 3 shrimps in and once I noticed the thick black lining of poop, I stopped eating the rest. I threw up everything I ate right outside. Also asked for hot sauce and I got a green spicy sauce which is okay, but I asked for the Sriracha specifically because it was my type of spicy.. and nobody brought it over. Ended up going over to the bar and grabbing the bottle of hot sauce myself :\ Not coming back here :( read more
