Today my friend and I went to POLLOS A LA BRASA MARIO #2. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The lighting and atmosphere are great. They have outdoors seating and limited indoors seating. As we enter the door our temperature were checked, we were given a printed form to write our names, address and phone# for contact tracing . I appreciate the amount of precautions they are taking to prevent the spread of Covid-19 during this unprecedented time. The food were delicious and the portion size were very good. I recommend this place for some comfort colombian food.

This is a happy spot, don’t expect anything fancy, you come in for Spanish food and good drinks. Service here a hit or miss. Sometimes the server forgets that they have a table 😂 but then they see you and run to you. It has happen to me more than twice. It wasn’t busy. But the guy was friendly and don’t forget anything on the order. Food is ok for what you pay, big portions. Only thin with the food was that the beans sauce was too watery and the salad look like it wilted a few days ago. Other than that the rest of the food was on par. Alcohol drinks here are good, same with the natural juices they sell. I’ll come back again hoping the server don’t forget his clients 😂

Usually always good food here. There are a few locations and all of them cook about the same quality of food. The food came out crazy fast and the service was on point. 44 dolls for 2 people is pretty cheap considering NYC prices. Update...Fri August 28. I'm not taking away any stars but we ordered similar food items as last time and both came out way over cooked and almost black in color. I should of returned it but I ate most of it anyway because I thought it would be ok but it wasn't. Next time please if the food is that burnt don't serve it to the customer because it ruined the good first time I had.

The portions are very large and generous, so you leave with lunch for the next day

love love love this place. i’ve been coming here since I was a kid and have always loved their chicken, rice, and beans—really, no other place makes beans quite like them. the seating area is so cute and there’s such a great atmosphere.

If you want good Colombian food with all your favorites. This is the place to visit. They serve you plenty of food. So you will have leftovers the next day. Only problem is parking in the area.

This has been a neighborhood stable for many years. The food is spot on. Great chicken, the rice and beans are always consistently tasty. Worth a stop if you want some good food.

Classic Colombian staple. Our waiter was Alex and he took care of us. I had a classic “bandeja” or platter with rice, beans, beef and friend pork.

We went here for Chicken. It was delicious and really reasonable prices. The place is clean and neat, bathrooms were clean. They have a sister place on Long Island and it is very different. We live close to the one on long island. Columbian Chicken is really good. I really enjoyed myself.

The Colombian food here is always a must have whenever I'm in the area. It gives me a very friendly feel, the waiter was attentive and made sure we always had good service. Will definitely be coming back for another bandeja tipica!

Great vibes, delicious food! My family and I savored every dish we ordered, everything was spot on. I loved it!

been a family staple quality hasn’t changed a bit since the 2010’s! restaurant always nice and clean, servers funny and welcoming. in the heart of a colombian melting-pot town. prices are fair too.

Food here is good, but the place is too small, it gets crowded easily.

Haven't been here in a few years and this place is amazing to me. Living in GA and coming down to nyc for vacation and being able to try Spanish food is amazing. Glad I got to go to one of my favorite spots before heading back home. I would recommend to everyone here and those that just visit too. Best place for me.

Great food, kind staff but don't like how they pack the SALAD together with the rice (thats hot) ??? I got home to my salad being all soggy and bad. They should pack the salad ALONE to preserve its freshness. Upset. I had to throw it out and had to try to enjoy my meal without a salad.

I was here twice in my life, once about a decade ago, and again this week. The food, well you better get ready to eat, because the plates are absolutely massive! Pricing is fair but it's worth it. Our server was really helpful I had the Bandeja típica, which consisted of bistek, pork belly, rice, beans, plantain, and arepa. Everything was delicious! I ordered myself a lulo, sorry if the spelling is wrong, for a drink, it was really tasty and filling. I definitely recommend coming here if your in NYC, and want some local cuisine straight from the barrio!

It's a nice place to have a casual dinner in a typical Colombian restaurant. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable. The only problem here is the service is not on point. You always have to call the waitress for things they should already be doing. Other than that great value for the price.

Great food at very affordable pricing. I love the rice and pork beans. It is consistently good every time I get it. Also a big fan of their rotisserie chicken and chicharon

This place has terrible customer service. They don’t even serve water for the table, if you ask for it they’ll just bring overpriced bottled water. The waiter just rushes you throughout the meal. Even with the restaurant being empty. Don’t waste your money here. Unpleasant service! Also the ground beef doesn’t even taste like beef. Not tasty at all!

Food was ok, the portions were less than what we usually get. Our waiter seemed annoyed/angry since the second we were seated and he never came to check on us after we got our food. We had another employee who was helpful when we asked for green sauce and a to-go container.

Been a couple times and the last time my food came quick and looked nice but it was cold. Not made to order

Love their filet with mixed seafood in cream sauce. Delicious. We come for this dish often. We don't eat meat anymore, but we used to eat bandeja tipica when we did. Also delicious.

I visited this place 6 years ago!and I went back on 8/10/22, my Goodness, :it's not the same as it used to be; rice, yuca and arepa, a great deal of carbohydrates.A lot of sugar, not a good idea. We spent $70 dollars. The food is not the same as it used to be. I noticed that the waitress put a lot of emphasis on the tip and they make sure the tip has to be significant big.......

Excellent authentic Colombian food ! They have many typical dishes from Colombia . Their rotisserie style chicken is amazing ! My favorite is their Bandeja tipica , which comes with steak , rice , beans , pork , and an egg . I been eating at this restaurant for over a decade Never been disappointed .

Order for take out, recieved an attitude from front. He kept repeating buenas noches, buenas noches, when I stated Hola twice. When I was waiting on my food I received looks and felt discriminated. Received food, was asked if I wanted sauces or spices, I said no spices just ketchup. When I return to my work place I had no eating utensil. Like if I’m suppose to eat with my hands. I returned to the restaurant and said I did not receive any utensil, he stated he asked me when he ask when if I wanted spice. Just an excuse. If this is a restaurant why are they giving people an hard time for take out. On top, no napkin, I don’t know what customer service they’re giving. Occurred 2/27/24 @ 7 pm ish
