Friendly environment, food incredibly delicious and done well. It gets busy in evenings especially weekends, valet parking is a plus. Ive been going there for over 10 plus years i just love it actually, im going there for fathers day. (I went last weekend too😁).

We were hungry. I was meeting my two friends from Queens. I am a Brooklyn boy. Last week we did Columbian but the food was average at best. We looked at the abundance of good reviews of Pollos Mario and decided to give it a shot. The place has parking and is guarded by an attendant. The restaurant is clean with lots of tables. Surprisingly it is not noisy. Our waiter Alvin was a young aspiring man who was making his way through a trade school. He had worked at the place since he was 16 and really knew his job well. He never told us what was good, only what people always ordered. He was very attentive to our needs. He is a real asset to this place. The menu is rich with various Columbian dishes. I really wanted the chicken and rice with beans. My friend ordered fish. We also ordered guacamole with chips. It was so good. My chicken dish was amazing. The chicken was very tasty. To my surprise, it came with Chicken Soup, traditional Columbian, and that again was really well done. My friend's fish was really good as well. We were really satisfied. They make a garlic sauce that is extra and not really obvious on the menu. I highly recommend ordering this to go with everything you could possibly put it on. I told my friend we were not doing dessert. He agreed until Alvin listed the desserts. I am a sucker for good Flan. The dessert menu is small. There is a Flan, Tres Leche, and a Brownie with or without Ice Cream. We saw the Tres Leche and it looked amazing. I had the Flan. This was the most amazing Flan. The custard was rich thick and delicious. I cannot get it out of my mind. We had a moment to talk with the owner who is Columbian. He, along with his partners has created an amazing place. It is no wonder it has so many positive reviews. Thanks for a wonderful night out. This place rocks! UPDATE: The following week. This does not generally happen, but we went back for more. The experience was equally good and even more fun as we knew some of the wait staff. Just to clarify, The fish dish my friend had was not as expected, that said, he was totally surprised at how good the dish was. He thought it was overcooked, however, it was cooked to perfection, crisp on the outside and tender and moist on the interior. He ate it to the bone. This visit he had the Rotisserie Chicken as did I, no surprise, it was amazing. We added the garlic sauce. Again, the Flan is so amazing. The parking attendant takes his job seriously, I love his bright lights.

Good lunch for 20 bucks and a natural juice. Is hard to beat that. My mom is Colombian. This food reminds me her food. That means is the really good. Very authentic food, with fair prices. The bathrooms were clean, the service is friendly and I had to wait like 19 minutes for my order. They gave super coco candies. That’s why I put a 5 star review. Parking next to the restaurant so make it a really nice choice when I’m in the area. If the owner read this, you should open one in the Hamptons, Colombian food there is a joke. You gonna make a lot money.

Yummy Colombian food. Service is great and attentive. Consider ordering half orders to regular order to share. We had lots of leftovers. The tostones with guacamole are pricey, but worth it.

Some of the best food I have had in a while and friendly service

I loved this place starting from the entrance since they are very well organize to manage the dine-in during this pandemic times. When you arrive at the door they’ll ask your name and phone number and call you when they get an available table. I went on Saturday night and I waited 10 minutes. They have parking spots for customers as well for free. The food doesn’t take a lot coming to the table and is delicious and the place is very clean. The seasoning taste very homemade which is one of the thing I loved the most. They have a whole menu of sea food to try if you eat halal Of course I’ll come back!

Large portions, delicious and flavorful menu choices. Nice retro ambiance. Staff is very accommodating and friendly. This is my go-to spot for a good meal anytime that never disappoints....the cheesecake was rather crumbly and hard. I usually get the flan but opted for the cheesecake instead. They took the guitar off of the wall and sang Happy Birthday to my daughter on her Birthday. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food is amazing here! If you are in the Hempstead NY area and want GREAT food this is the place to go. There is a parking lot and easy to get to by public transportation.

Delicious food, well priced. Friendly service. Our only qualm was with the beverages, I had a blueberry mojito but all I could taste was the lime rinds inside and my grandparents also found their lemonade too sour. But my aunt had the pina colada and really enjoyed it. Overall lovely experience and will be returning soon.

For myself, it beats all of the others pollos Mario! Definitely will be coming back for more taste of good food.

There chicken is the absolute best, I just moved into the neighborhood and I can only say it's great so far

I ordered the typical mountain platter: steak, rice, and beans, sunny side up egg, chicharron, and a juice (jugo del lulo). A Very typical Colombian meal. It tasted the way it tastes in Colombia.

Food is good. Parking is hard on the weekends sometimes. Their lot is small and if it gets packed then you'll be waiting for someone to leave. It is a bit pricey in my opinion and there are other Colombian options in the area that are cheaper.

I would give zero stars , this place has a very violent security guard, before even entering restaurant he assumes your door dash guy and follows you around like you are there to steal or something. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. I felt very uncomfortable I had to leave before even trying their food, very bad experience.
