Fabio is my main man. He deserves for this restaurant to take off to new heights. He took the time to make sure that my friend and I were comfortable navigating the menu before we made our selections. Gotta love hearing a great story from a guy like this who opened up his own family restaurant. Fabio made us feel like we were welcome in his home. The bandeja paisa (I may be butchering this name) was absolutely incredible. I haven't had much Colombian food in my life, but the flavors here are unbelievable. It's about $16 for this plate of food, but that EASILY makes 2 meals. It comes with a variety of deliciously seasoned meats, with many different carbohydrate vessels to demolish them in. The tostones here were a real treat, you can't just get them prepared like this anywhere. I'm not totally sure how they made the sauce that they make available on the table, but it is an incredible salsa-type creation that can be slathered on top of anything to take it to the next level. Fabio - I beg of you to open a restaurant in Fishtown (or some other place where there are many millennials). They would love to explore a place such as this, and YOU are the guy to make it happen! read more

Fabio's Chicken Restaurant Takeout - A top 5 meal of all time for me. - Latin American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Indeed, some of the best Colombian food I've ever had. No wonder locals recommend this small but amazing eatery. Wow. I ordered their "Bandeja Tipica"...bandeja means "tray" and the plate might as well be a tray of tasty and authentic foods, you need to either share or be really hungry to attempt to even approximate eating 75% of everything that's served, which includes: A bed of Rice Egg Half an avocado Huge and meaty chunk of pork Huge and perfectly seasoned sausage Small corn cake 4 large fried plantains ...and under all that, about 8oz of perfectly grilled skirt steak A genuine cornucopia of taste and satisfaction. To top it off, the staff treats you like a long-time friend, they're super welcoming and attentive. The menu is full of authentic dishes, too many to try unless you're a local. I will come back as soon as I can. Pro tip: skip breakfast when you plan to eat here! read more

DEEE-Licious! I had the daily special, which was pork chop platter. It was so good I ordered another platter to take home to my wife. You had a choice of soup, a choice of entrée (besides pork chop m, could've had two different types of chicken), and it comes with rice, salad, and a choice of starch: Tostones, Maduros, or french fries. I actually substituted Red beans for the soup, great choice for me. There were three different types of soup to choose from: lentil, vegetable, or chicken. I cannot wait to return! Awesome music plays as well-salsa, meringue...aye!!!! read more

Fabios chicken restaurant is by far my new Columbian hot spot for excellent chicken, crispy skin on the outsde with moist dark and white meat on the inside. The consome soup is unbelievable i was in awe with the flavors and how well they meshed together in a savory broth the fish dissolves on your tongue while the carrots and potatoes just feel like they are melting in your mouth with each bite. The rice and beans were good along with the fried plantains and the pickled onions and side salad. i am looking forward to coming back as soon as i can. This place makes some of the best chicken in north philly! read more

Not the Fabios I remember. Food wasn't fresh. My order wasn't right and took way too long. Too bad this place lost its flavor.

la atención es la peor , la comida estaba una cucaracha , y a parte cuando reclamé me trataron mal , no lo recomiendo

Great spot for Colombian food. They have specials on Sundays for carne asada and sopa de pollo. I'd recommend trying out their mango smoothies as well! read more

My first Columbian food! Chicken was so juicy and tender. Rice was seasoned and everything was just so delicious! The restaurant was clean and staffs were very friendly. I tried half chicken special. I want to come back and try different things. Highly recommended read more

Fabio's Chicken Restaurant Takeout - Half chicken special - Latin American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Was taken here today by a Colombian friend who needed to satisfy a craving for something cheap and delicious. This place reminds me of Nanzhou, a Yelp favorite, because of the heaping helpings you get for next to nothing. I got the oxtail soup (Sancocho) with extra rice and plantains to see how it would differ from the Korean-style stuff I was used to at home. Aside from a thicker, stew-like broth and beefier potatoes, it was just as delicious. My friend got a flat steak (Carne Asada) that I think he ate in just under 10 seconds. Remember Yelp, you're missing out on a lot if you don't visit NE philly once in a while, especially this place. read more

My experience at Fabio's was a good one. The location was super convenient, right off of the Blvd. on Front St. The menu is not too big, which I didn't mind because it made ordering easier. The food was really good. It was good ole Latin American home cooking. Honestly, my mother could probably make this same dish. As Haitians, we incorporate a lot of Latin flavors, but those wings though?!? I could eat them every day. I'll probably get some tomorrow. The only reason I'm giving them a 5 star rating is because of the wait. It took forever. And when I finally went up to the counter, it seemed like my food had been ready for a while. If you want take out do yourself a favor and call ahead. read more

Usually I get the "bandeja paisa" it is amazing. Feeds 2 for $15 not bad at all. But you have to order in advance usually they say 20min but takes atleast 30 read more

Very good food. We order the empanadas alot so we've learned the trick is you have to call and order them fresh or else rhwu will give you the ones that were sitting under the lamp all day. Besides that everything is amazing when cooked fresh, highly recommended!!! read more

The food here is amazing. OK the area is not the best area to be at. But the food... the food will bring you back, It is a mixture of Colombian food and possibly Dominican as well. I had the Colombian Sancocho and beef with rice etc. Everything was delicious! Relatively cheap too which is a huge plus. I am not sure if they take cards or not because I did not pay. But I definitely recommended it if you want authentic Colombian food. They have a few TVs playing sports and music too. The waitresses are pretty sweet. The kitchen is a little slow because its a very small establishment and the parking can be a bit of a struggle as well. read more

Definitely by far the best Colombian restaurant in Philadelphia. The consomé (Colombian chicken soup) top notch, chicken pretty good, oax tale soup (sancocho) outstanding, overall very tasty Latin food, the reason I don't give a 5 stars is because sometimes could take quite a while to get your order. read more
