Always a good meal at Pollos Mario. My girlfriends and I wanted to have a girl's night out and enjoy some great chiccaron. This was the spot to be. The other diners around us were very friendly as well so good hang out vibes here. Service was very friendly and attentive. The menu is still quite a few pages and lots to read, which is why I partly enjoy coming here. And each time is guaranteed a great value. This visit I had the Bandeja Tipica. It's one of the classics. My friends also ordered similarly... But their entrees came with fries and they added a quarter chicken as well. The sour sop is my go to drink and it's not overly sweet. Mixed with water and it was really good. I was so tempted to order more food to go, just for the next day but it was pouring rain so I was lazy, didn't want to schelp a bag. The Bandeja Tipica entree was really filling. I had half my Maduro, about half of my chiccaron and 1/3 of my steak. Of course I finished my egg, avocado, and the rice and beans... So much food!! Highly recommend. read more

I have been dining at this wonderful family location for over 24 years and I totally enjoyed the food and services here. They have two locations in Queens, NYC and I absolutely appreciate both of them. I confidently can say they served the most delicious Colombian food. I may be a little boring, but I always get the same entree every time I visit. I'm a sucker for their chicken cutlet served with salad, rice and beans. Oh Ghosh , the food is served in such large portion. I like sitting by the trees sipping on red sangria as a starter before my meal arrives. The waiters and waitress are amazingly sweet and awesome. read more

I always get great-tasting food at this location. The staff is very helpful and the food orders are right. Orlando and Dana were friendly and helped to make sure I had everything for my pick-up order. They have much more than their chicken, and I recommend you try their seafood -- the fried porgy or oven-baked fish are also delicious. If you stay for a meal it's a lively atmosphere and service is good. read more

Absolutely the best entrana and the best fresh potato salad on the whole 2 blocks eastbound 37th ave strip! Staff is great and music is amazing. read more

I come here all the time because this is the best pollos mario around. The service is great and the restaurant is so festive. The parking can be a little tough but that's just Jackson heights lol. I always order the bistec Encebollado and it's one of my favorite colombian dish. The prices are fair and I always keep coming back! read more

Ambiance (4/5): Love the liveliness of the establishment. The decorations make it seem like an outdoor garden (but it's enclosed) such as the fake tree in the middle. Noise level is appropriate and the place is kid-friendly. Service (3/5): Most patrons and staff are Spanish-speaking. They won't come by often but are quick to get what you need. Food (4/5): I ordered the Typical Platter which is a platter of grilled steak, pork belly, rice, beans, egg, sweet plantain, avocado, and corn cake. The grilled steak was alright and pork belly was amazing! Great flavor and perfect saltiness. The egg is cooked over easy and complements well with the beans and rice. I was not a fan of the corn cake which was a bit dry and too bland for me. It was a great value for a large dish that could be enough for leftovers. read more

The food is always good here and deserves a four star. The reason for the two is , for the second time that I've ordered from them using Grubhub, and have requested a delivery time latter in the day, they ignore the request and deliver asap. They are obviously not looking at the order sheet. By chance I was home today for the delivery but If I had been out there would have been no one to accept the order. While I plan to order from them again, its only going to be just before I want the delivery and no more plan a head orders when it comes to this store which will take them off my order a head list of stores. No excuses for this , they need to be more careful with their orders. Kudos to Grubhub which did refund a few bucks for the inconvenience but I would have rather had the food delivered at the proper time. read more

I originally only been to the location on Woodhaven so I decided to give this location a try and I have to save it was equally as good. It was good quality Colombian food with huge portions, and since it was the pandemic, I ordered the food to go and it held up well. The food: Cazuela de Mariscos- Seafood combination casserole served with rice and french fries. This soup really hit the spot, it kinda felt like a thinner clam chowder consistency but there was a ton of seafood in this. The soup had shrimp, baby scallops, clams and octopus and it was a good size for 2-3 people. I really liked this soup because the flavors were great and it wasn't as heavy as it appeared, I thought it was going to be like a really heavy like I was drinking Alfredo sauce but it was actually pretty light. I thought the seafood was cooked well and the overall flavor was nice. Churrasco- Grilled sirloin steak served with rice, salad, french fries and chimichurri. I thought the flavor on this was good, I only wish I was able to dine in because the steak sat a bit before I was able to eat it but I was happy with the flavor, overall it was still something worth ordering to go. read more

Today, my mom and I dined at Pollos Marios, located at 83rd Street and 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights. Unfortunately, both of our meal choices did not meet expectations. I ordered the "Milanesa de Res," which is a breaded top round steak, while my mom chose the Albondigas, a meatball soup. Regrettably, both dishes had a taste reminiscent of old leftovers. This experience was particularly disappointing for us, as we have been loyal customers since childhood, regularly enjoying their food. When you dine out you expect fresh, quality meals, and the experience fell short of that expectation. As we arrived home, my mom threw up; it was definitely the soup or the meatballs in it. read more

Comida muy buena, servicio muy malo, los meseros solo están chismeando y con el cel entre ellos y abandonan mucho a las meses, solo se te acercan para pedirte que si puedes dejar la propina en cash, "quizá para no repartirla" y se enojan si dejas en tarjeta, esto nos sucedió en el que queda cerca a pecoshitas. Los bussers súper bien, pero los meseros son muy vivos y quieren aprovecharse, muchos salen de su país, pero el país nunca sale de ellos. read more

Pesimo Servicio de Delivery!!!!!Mas de una hora solo por un pollo a la brasa y maduros?Esto me paso 3 veces y nunca mas vuelvo a ordenar de ahí. Que ridiculez!!! read more

Marque para pedir un delivery porque siempre ordeno la mojarra frita y el señor dice que no hacen delivery a mi domicilio. Que mal servicio, y colgó sin ver su systems de que soy un cliente que patrocina el local. Llevaré mi dinero a otro restaurante más profesional. read more

The good is delicious. The portions are huge. Service depends on the server you get. Some are very attractive and others less attentive. Ambience is family oriented. Anybody of any age can visit. read more

Great food, great customer service ( fast, efficient and CLEAN) One of my favorite places to order. read more

The soup was amazing like how my grandma used to make it. The bandeja was huge enough for two people. As a Colombian the sancocho was amazing. If you want real Colombian food come here. read more

This review is mainly for their takeout. My family always orders from the combos. They are more economical than the other super popular restaurant nearby and.. I actually compared chicken to chicken recently. Pollos Mario's chicken... won.. with more flavor. Let that sink in. This Colombian restaurant can get packed and I do wish they were more on top of checking their orders. More recently items have been missing from our orders. Still it is reliable, tasty and welcoming enough to be a regular here. read more

If I want good Colombian food I almost always order or go to any one of the Pollos Mario locations in Jackson Heights. This one just happens to be my favorite because I love the authentic interior. I either get the arroz con pollo or the bandeja típica, which are both amazingly good. One time they did forget my egg in the típica and I told the waiter and he was kind enough and went to go get me a fried egg in the back. Their food is really good and I've never had a major problem for me to change my views read more

Favorite Colombian Place in NYC! Portions are big, price is great, and most importantly the taste is superb. As close as home as it gets :)

The bandeja típica is amazing. I love all the different flavors in it. The portions are big. Service is good and food is usually ready quickly. read more

I came here to eat breakfast and I ordered the huevos rancheros and I asked prior to ordering whether there was any meat in the meal and I was told that there wasn't. After ordering and eating most of my meal, I noticed that I bit something hard in the beans and I realized that it was a bone. I then called over the waitress and I asked if there was any meat in the beans. She said there was no meat but that there was pork. Yeah, she really said this. Needless to say, I became very upset and demanded a full refund for my meal. Not only did the restaurant not grant me a refund but the waitress acted in a negligent, callous way which is the opposite of whatever customer service is supposed to be. I have been a vegetarian for over two years for both personal and spiritual reasons. And today, I was celebrating an important occasion in my life which you guys ruined. I will be filing a lawsuit for emotional damages due to negligence on your part. I will never again be a patron of your business and I will try to skew everyone toward Cositas Ricas, Seba Seba and/or basically any other restaurant nearby. You run a dishonest business with no ethical standards. You should be ashamed of yourselves. read more

The food was spectacular and the staff very accommodating and friendly will definitely return again and tell all my friends and family about it one of the best places in Jackson Heights read more

I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. Having eaten at many (and I mean many) Colombian restaurants , this one somehow stuck out to me. The scene is very casual. It is a sports bar/restaurant with multiple TVs and plenty of space. I went with a group of friends and we shared camarones de criollo (shrimp with a tomato based sauce) and camarones with a garlic sauce. We had different sides ranging from Maduros (sweet plantains), white rice, yellow rice, black beans and red beans. All were delicious. The dessert of tres leches was also AMAZING! This dessert - can I just tell you- had the perfect combination of sweet frosting sitting on an ever so moist, creamy and milky cake. It was LITERALLY the perfect consistency. *would go back just to eat the cake* In regards to drinks we ordered three or four rounds of passion fruit mojitos (maracuja flavor). We honestly kept the rounds coming because they were so good. This place gives the other two Colombian restaurants a run for their money. I would certainly not hesitate to eat there again. Also the waitress was very patient and helpful. :) read more

Service is always on point! Waiters are always attentive and polite. The food is awesome. The Columbian drinks are great. I love the ambiance, the decor might be a bit tacky but I love it, just like that. They always have Spanish music playing which makes me feel right at home. It's comfortable and casual. Prices are reasonable. Parking is always a hassle to find, so be prepared to circle around a couple of Times. read more

This place can be so hit or miss. Sometimes the food is delicious, the meat and chicken so juicy and tasty. But other times, the food can be over cooked and dry and just terrible quality. I don't understand why they don't take more pride in their food. Don't send out bad food. read more

Food was all delicious. We ordered the breaded pork chop dinner, which was pounded out and fried to perfection and a half of chicken which was made perfect with yellow rice. All food was cooked fresh and delicious and was still hot when delivered. We will be ordering again. read more

Best service of all the Latin restaurants, fantastic food, and satisfying portions. I recommend it.

Great Latin comfort food. When visiting my in-laws we always have a consomé de menudencias from Mario when we arrive at the apartment.

I had to return my steak because it was dry felt as if the reheated a piece that was already just sitting there plus it was very bland had no flavor. Arepa was burned never coming back to this place. No satisfied at all read more

The quality is not the same as before the pandemic. Also what's with the guy screaming outside this store? Is he ok?

Arroz con pollo and the flan are the best! The food is always on time when delivered and the portions are great!!

Finally a modernize Colombian spot where I can have a BANDEJA PAISA & watch a JETS game all at the same time. This place is gorgeous and the staff is well trained. They also speak English which is helpful if you don't speak Spanish. They also have a wide variety of dessert and coffee specialties. They informed me that they'll be getting their liquor license hopefully by end of November. read more

This place has descent food. But the service just sucks. In the past 4 times that I have tried to make an order for delivery, i got hung up on twice and put on hold for over 5 mins. Got yelled at by the woman because I don't speak spanish. I got the huge sigh like I am doing something wrong. Once they hear me speak english, automatically its no english and ¿que? ¿Que? And on our last order we placed, they sent us the wrong food If they were on seamless at this location, there would never be a problem. read more

Love the theme and the idea of sport bar, order 2 crepes, chicken and apple, the apple crepe was a little too dry, the chicken one, was on point. deff coming back read more

One of my top 5 to go to for Spanish colombian food places to go to when I want hammer away and have an amazing cheat day! Loll not much of a wait time to be seated and the orders come out flying, you'd think it would be some what of a wait with how busy the delivery's are at this place but as fast as they send the delivery out is just as fast as you get the food on the table lol. Well again let's get back to the quality of the food I've eaten here several times and the skirt chicken is amazing and the size of is even more amazing lol. read more

I was put on hold for over two minutes when I called to order food to be delivered. It took an hour and a half for the food to be delivered. I ordered three things; only two came. The food was cold. The sweet plantains were burnt to a crisp and rubbery. We used to order from this place pretty often in the past and it used to be really good. I can say that today will be the last time I ever order from this restaurant. I am saddened and disappointed that one of my favorite restaurants has changed so drastically, for the worse, in such a short period of time. read more

Food here is awesome.. the serving sizes are large so I recommend sharing and then ordering extra side dishes. The service is great .. everyone is super friendly. read more

Ordered a typical Colombian dish (arepa w/ steak) and the 1 st time. My steak was so over cooked it was dry honestly looked like it was left over from yesterday. Had to return it and thought about going to taco ball across the street. The 2nd time the steak was a bit better. Still over cooked and was too chewy. The location on 81st and Roosevelt is 100% open 24 hrs and has a breakfast menu read more
