Nice staff, quick service, large plates ok prices. Have had better Columbian food though and although the chicken was very tasty it was on the dry side. Very nice staff though. read more

Came here for my boo's bday lunch. We actually shared one entree and a side order of "arepa" con chorizo and we still couldnt finish it. The reason I quote arepa is because i didnt know it was that little dry tasteless ball of flour. I soon found out that I like the choclo arepa, not that. I dont know how colombians eat it but to each his own. The dish we had ordered was the Bandeja Mario. It was good, large portion. The beans were really good! Everyone always says its hard to find good beans when you eat out. Comes with chicharron, baked chicken, grilled chicken, skirt steak, fries, rice, beans...and some peas and other veggies that we said we didnt want. My bf told her he no peas but she thought we said no beans so I was a little bothered by that. The passion fruit juice was good and that green hot sauce that they keep on the table was delicious. Reasonable priced. I think our bill was about $26 Nothing like Colombian food in Colombia though! But I'd probably visit one of the other Mario's instead next time. read more

We came here once, three years ago(?) and I hadn't felt like going back since. Last night, I changed my mind. While it's one of many "Pollo Mario" restaurants in the area, this one wins us for being a single block from our door. We shared a platter which I think had Mario in the name (#35 on the menu I think) and it was EASILY enough for us to share AND have some to take home. The steak was soft and good. The pork loin as well was moist. The half chicken was honestly jumping off the bone moist and tender. The cheecharonnes(sp?) were yummy/crunchy/awesome. I'm honestly not sure if you're meant to eat just the nibs or the part they come attached to, but the part I had was delicious. I gave my husband the corn cake and plantain (since I'm not a big fan of those) and we shared the salad starter and the rice/beans plate. They had thousand island dressing already on the table, which is one we like, so the salad was alright; for iceberg salad. (Though I got confused by the salad having a slice of beet and many peas on it.) My husband was a fan of the "very spicy" hot sauce we got when asked. We were seated behind a birthday party that was wrapping up, which means were were RIGHT next to the kitchen door and under a television. I could do without the noise and banging of the kitchen, but the food was worth tolerating it this one time. read more

I have been waiting for at least ten I still have not gotten a menu and there is barely people .place looks sad and dark. Waitress just walking doing nothing. They don't offer anything it has been 15 min waiting for nothing . Overpriced.they don't write your food down. If you don't like meat and big dishes don't come. Mango drink is good and chickens nuggets and French fries are fine but everything else is overpriced read more

My favorite place to go, I always get the bandeja paisa with a colombiana :) the staff is friendly, I totally recommend this place.

Buenísima entraña me encanta ! The taste of the steaks is amazing ! And I love how the pina colada is made has a great taste ! Entraña all the way ! read more

Came here on a Sunday evening and was not disappointed. To begin, I loved the cheap price food and the large quantity/portion. It was really busy so we had to wait a few minutes for a table. read more

Pollos Mario - Colombian Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Like the pork chop and rice with beans coming with it!

Really cool place, good food and prices. You will have to wait to be seated because of the demand but it's worthy. Their dishes are big, I would say enough for two people, but since the food is delicious just don't share . read more

Service was horrible the food was fast but what I ordered was not fresh. The waitress gave me a menu to reorder but I did not want to order since the rest of my party already almost finished, but she still charged my for the salad and rice and beans that were left on the table that she did not clear. read more

The waiters are so bad ! They would forget your order & come back to you with a different plate ! They also take so long just to bring you something ! I waited like 20 min just for a piece of lemon ! Don't recommend it if you hate waiting !!! read more

Really nice place, the food is great & really big; and the staff is also really friendly. I really would recommend this restaurant even if it's a bit pricy. read more

i love this place. order the bandeja tipica. i really need to go back soon. read more

I have been ordering food from this restaurant for years and never had a bad experience except for today! The food that arrived was wrong and when I called to complain, the woman on the other line insisted that I ordered the wrong thing. When I called to order food, the woman who answered the phone told me she spoke English so I was confident that she'd get the order correctly. I ordered Chuletas, like I normally order, among other things. And then she asked if I wanted them grilled and I said yes. Chuletas are pork chops and the order is normally grilled pork chops. The food arrived and she sent us Lomo de Cerdo instead of Chuletas, when I called, the woman said that Chuletas could mean any kind of pork. And insisted that I ordered Chuletas and this means I ordered pork. She said that to her people (not sure who she meant by this) Chuletas meant pork and that since I ordered Pork, that could mean anything. I asked to speak to the manager and she told me that he didn't speak English. When I asked a friend of mine who speaks Spanish to speak to the manager, the same woman never passed the phone to the manager. And went on to tell my friend the same thing and I should have ordered Chuletas con Hueso....which isn't even on the menu. In any case, after about ten minutes of back forth an apology was never offered; she finally offered to exchange the food but it was too little too late. Never ordering from this place again. We're in Jackson Heights, there are tons of other restaurants, too bad this place doesn't understand customer service. read more

Solid Colombian food. Very authentic too according to my Colombian friend. Portions are HUGE! Had enough for 2.5 meals after ordering one main dish. Definitely a great place for cheap, homey, Colombian food. read more

Before you discount this one bad review in the midst of all the good ones below it... I too am wary of these type of reviews. So let me just start by saying this one experience here that I had here and may not be characteristic of the restaurant. I used to come here often. It's in my neighborhood, and I know it has the portions I look for. It actually is one of many similar restaurants around here. I have never had an amazing experience here, but I always left full and happy. Until... I came here a year ago with a bunch of my cousins. It was seven of us in total. They sat us in a booth. I really don't mind, were really close so being squished together is something we are used to. It leads to many a laugh. We sat there talking for ten minutes and no one came to give us menus. Then when we thought they were finally coming the waiter decides he wants to sit on the back of the seat in the booth. Once he basically sat on me I had had it. We all got up and stormed out. Now, I was 22 at the time but I look really young, and was with a lot of other people who still look like they are in hs. I attribute the treatment to the fact that they thought we were just kids who perhaps wouldn't even tip well. I hate when people assume that. I go to restaurants for the experience and always tip more than well when I am satisfied. Perhaps I'm just jaded so my review may not be the most representative of this place so take it with a grain of salt. The food is average but as I said before filling. I have had the rotisserie chicken here plenty of times and can say it has it's unique and I have enjoyed it in the past. If you want to come here, I suggest ordering out. Save yourself the tip. read more

A friend of mine invited me here to have authentic Colombian food. I have to admit, I wasn't impressed at all. Our waitress was very kind and patient though. The food just wasn't good to me though. I had a plate that came with white rice, beans, baked chicken and French fries. The fries I could've done without and the chucked was just really dry and but over cooked. The prices were reasonable but I doubt that I'll ever eat here again. read more

Great place for authentic Colombian food, very friendly staff, rasy location to get to, they have great selection of food for any choice

Amazing food, big portions, all good. The waiter and waitresses give you pleasant service very good, The only drag is parking your car!

I got the meal that came with 1/4 of a rotisserie chicken, French fries, rice, salad, & a small chicken soup. Everything was delicious and I got my food within 5 minutes of ordering which I was surprised about. It was most likely because of the time I came which was a Thursday at around 4:30. The restaurant was not too crowded and the servers were very attentive. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Best place to get awesome Colombian cuisine. I have been coming here for years and always enjoyed the food. Everything on the menu is tasty and worth trying with reasonable prices. The servers are always nice and willing to give great recommendations. The staff is usually spanish speak but they all speak English too. Overall, a good spot to try if you're wanting to try delicious food. read more

Came here with my friend to watch the World Cup (Colombia Vs. Chile) while also enjoying some comida paisana. He ordered the famous chicirron pork and I had some grilled chicken with rice and beans. We had orange and mango juice to wash down the food. His food was better than mine. The grilled chicken lacked flavor as expected being a diet food. We were kicked out after like an hour. I guess they weren't the right spot to watch a game in. read more

Man I absolutely love this spot. The food is delicious, fairly priced, and the staff is very friendly. I would definitely suggest the number 33 bandeja tipica/paisa. I can't count how many times I've eaten here and there'll be a lot more times in the future. read more

All I have to say number "33 bandeja típica". Great taste and perfect amount for a yummy lunch or dinner. read more

The best, fastest most cheapest Colombian food in nyc...they serve you quick the food is very good portions are big...and the price for the greatest cannot be beat##! A must if you're in queens##! read more

The food here is solid. It's not spectacular and nothing special but good. Don't worry about being hungry when you leave, the portions here are massive. Rotisserie chicken is good, just don't come here late for that otherwise you'd get one that's been sitting around and it's going to be dry. I do love the fake tree in the dining room. read more

The food was great. The servings are perfect for the price, the waitresses are attentive and make sure you are very well accommodated. It is two floors so you are always seated and never have to wait to be called on a night out. Only trouble I had was finding parking read more

The place is very charming, with the bright colors and the tree in the middle of the floor. I wasn't too hungry, so I simply ordered the Chicken Chowder dish, which was delicious. It was so rich(I think it was made with pure heavy cream), I walked back into Manhattan over the Queensboro Bridge to start working those calories back off. The portions were fairly large, and their rice is cooked well, with salt and butter. Service may be a little slow, but the price is cheap, so you get what you pay for here. read more

Came to Queens specifically for Colombian food. After alot of research we figured we would try Pollos Mario. Arrived Sunday at about 3pm. Were nicely greeted and free to grab any table we would like. Great service, my boyfriend ordered the consome de menudencias & I ofcourse ordered the bandeja paisa (they have a bandeja paisa with carne molida but I made sure to note I wanted the one with carne asada). I was hungry so was hoping to be able to grab some empanadas as an appetizer as I waited for my bandeja but my waiter informed me the empanadas were made to order so they would come out with my bandeja which defeated the purpose but I proceeded to order one. Food came out in about 10 mins which alarmed me but the taste of my dish made up for any hesitance! For the price I wish the bandeja came with more carne & maduro, they both were small pieces. The frijoles were my favorite part of the dish, they were so flavorful and delicious. The rice was super fresh. Also would have liked to have a small side salad. Besides that, I was very satisfied with my dish & my boyfriend loved his soup. Very glad I went through with ordering the empanada because it may have been one of the best I have had in a while, so much meat and not loaded just with potato like many can be. The masa was perfectly crispy. Only wish they had them ready for customers to eat while their entrees came out. Overall, would definitely come back to try more dishes while in Queens. Very clean bathrooms. read more

Ordered dinner and I got the worst skirt steake I have ever eaten. And it was expensive to top it off.

My family and I were very upset and will never come back to a place like this, the manager was very disrespectful all the time when we try to explain they were selling a seafood casserole for $25 and half the content of the plate was imitation of crab. at the end I had to pay for something I never eat and they don't care at all; this review is for people that likes quality and not quantity. read more

THis pollos mario is amazing, customer service here is great from the management to the delivery boys. They are def busy but do not let quality affect theyre multi tasking, the food is fresh and delicious. If your a fan of pollos mario this is the location to go to customer service and great food. read more

Too bad i can not give this location zero star!!!!!!!The food is average the service horrific!!took over half an hour for two simple orders and the place was almost empty only 3 tables occupied no reason for the food to take so long!the hostess oblivious yo the surroundings only cared about watching the soap opera.will NEVER eat there again!she wa too lazy to go to the kitchen to get hot sauce on top of that. read more

I don't know what better the girls that work here or the pollo, great place specially since it opens till late night

The food is horrible. I've ordered 2 half chickens twice from this location and on both times the chickens have been raw. Raw as in blood oozing from the drumstick. The rice is undercooked as well. Despite the fancy decorations, unless you enjoy chicken marinated in blood, do not go! read more
