We were also watching the NYK - Spurs Finals, and instead of telling us that they were closing. They just shut off the audio and turned off the tv. Mind you, we just finish paying and we would have order another round of drinks if they left the tv on for 5 more minutes. The game was literally going to end. And i get that they were closing but a friendly "hey guys, we getting ready to close." Would have been nice. The server also rushed my friend who got there at 9:55pm, and said that they were getting ready to close the kitchen. They still took 3 parties after her. Last party came in almost at 11. This place was empty and i could see why. Avoid this place. I want my tip back.

I was in the mood for some Colombian food and saw plenty of people ordering for pick up and eating…read morein their outside area so I gave this place a try. Their outside area could use a little more tlc but it is clean which is important. The service was just ok, the waitress was attending to many tables so it was hard to get her attention several times. I ordered their pandeja paisa which was a great size and enough to eat among two people. My favorite part was definitely their chicharrón; it was crispy just how I like it. My least favorite part of the dish was the beans; they lacked flavor and seemed to be watered down. The beans are the most important part of a bandeja paisa so I was very disappointed. I also didn't like that when I asked the waitress for the bill all she did was give me the total which I thought was super odd. I should have questioned it but since it was so hard to get her attention in the first place, I just paid and left. Not sure if I would return.

Ok - soooooo I'll start by saying this SMALL non spacious LOL restaurant has AMAZING food. IDC how…read moresmall this place is - I will keep coming back. Eating at this place is like eating at my mommas house - delishhhhhh. I have been here several times and it's never a disappointment Their plates are typical colombian plates. Carne asada with rice, beans, salad and sweet plantain. Or bandeja paisa. Orrrrr juicy grilled chicken with lentils, rice, salad and sweet plantain. Right now I just finished eating their soup of the day - fish soup & my sides are rice, salad and breaded fish Nice and healthy. It was AMAZINGGGGGG A perfect meal that doesn't leave you feeling all stuffed. On top of making you feel like you're eating a home cooked meal - their prices are super AFFORDABLE. I just paid $18 for two (2) orders of what I mentioned above and the portions are just right! Oh yea - and when you eat in - their service is excellent. No complaints whatsoever Thank you Brisas del Valle for your wonderful service and for cooking with love

Cuisine: 7 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 8 Overall: 7 My buddy said this restaurant has been around, but for some reason, he has never tried it. Therefore, three of us came here for lunch the other day. We shared an appetizer and a couple of the lunch specials. I thought the grilled fish that came with chicken soup, rice and beans, salad, and maduro was an excellent deal for $15. The fish was seared nicely and tasted extremely moist. Wish I knew what fish it was, but I suspect it's some type of flaky white fish. I would definitely come back for this dish again. Beef fried rice was not bad, but a bit boring. Lots of sesame oil was clearly used, while the beef was pretty tough. Not my thing. Btw, the Guacamole was very fresh, served with fried plantain chips. The prices are inexpensive and the food is pretty good. I'll definitely return to try more of their menu, especially the lunch specials.

First time at Chiflez and it did not disappoint. I wasn't sure about coming here because I read…read moresome of the negative reviews but decided to come anyway and so glad I did! Our waitress Jil was super attentive and sweet- not just her but all of the waitstaff continued to check on us to see if we needed anything. We ordered food for the kids and it came out right away. Order was big enough for my kids to share. They got the grilled chicken, rice, beans, maduros and fries (freshly cut fries ). I ordered the bolon mixto- so fresh and crispy! I also had the seafood soup it was delicious. My husband had the red snapper he enjoyed that as well. We also ordered the cow feet soup. Everything was really good especially the drinks! I highly recommend chiflez!

I can't believe no one has reviewed this place in years! I heard some great things about this…read moresmall, homey restaurant from some neighbors and stopped by for takeout. We ordered the Bandera (a greatest hits combination plate) and the Bandeja Campesina and were not disappointed! The Bandera is fantastic, every part of it is excellent. It's a combination of chivo guisado and guatita over rice, and a super fresh, succulent shrimp ceviche and wedge of avocado on the side. Guatita is a stewed tripe dish, similar to Peruvian Cau Cau, but with more body and perfect comfort food. Chivo Guisado is the standout, with big satisfying chunks of tender goat braised in a red sauce. The shrimp ceviche was so sweet and tender, and the fresh tomato and onion sauce had the right amount of acid to make it addictive! The Bandeja Campesina here might be the best bandeja in the neighborhood. All of the meats were perfectly seasoned, especially the moist pork ribs.

I'm sure I have had Colombian food before, but it has been quite a while and Barriles was my first…read moreauthentic "newer" Colombian place to try. Came here for a little small belated birthday dinner for a friend and we had a very nice time. We each just had a dish since we knew the portions are BIG. The menu is extensive and there was a lot to choose from. They even offer some Mexican and Italian dish options. I had the Grilled Skirt Steak (Monterey), which was SO BIG I had leftover for lunch the next day. :) the meat was pretty tender and juicy. The dish came with tostones (big) and rice. We were also served salads to start. What stands out a lot is the amazing service here. They are so polite, friendly, patient and helpful. The restaurant definitely seemed staffed properly which I suppose was a good thing because as the night progressed, the place filled up (for a Thursday night). My friends had the salmon and the Chicken Franchise. I took off just one star because they ended up charging my friends twice (but rectified the mistake), hopefully her funds will sort out. They also charge extra if you want to make any side substitutions... which isn't kind of crappy. The place is also beautifully decorated and spacious. Will def be back very soon! Next time we'll partake in an adult beverage maybe :)

This has been my spot for many years for happy hours, dinner and to watch soccer games…read more It is a large restaurant so you can usually find a spot at the bar or at a table. But when there are big soccer events, it can get very packed. I especially like their frozen passion fruit margarita because it is sweet and strong with a tajin rim. All of their food is delicious, especially their picada which comes with a variety of meat; chicken, chicharrón, sausage and potato. The chicharrón is always crunchy and all the dipping sauces pair so well with everything in the picada. The vibe inside the restaurant is always very fun with good music playing in the background and the bar always has very friendly staff. If you are ever in the Jackson heights area, you should give them a try.

However, they did seat me right under the AC and it was dripping right on me so I wasn't too happy for that but it was a full house. We asked to switch seats but another party walked in and looked at their empty table so their hands were tied. You can never go wrong with the pargo Frito or any of the steaks for that matter. Everything always comes out sizzling fresh and portions are huge so you can actually consider sharing with one other if you don't have a huge appetite. I think I had the Casuela de mariscos which is so so rich in flavour and soup. Loved this dish so much and having steak on top of that? Amazing!! Service was great - our server was attentive and got us everything we needed. Sometimes the other servers don't pay much attention to you but maybe that's just the vibe here. Would still return for the food bc it's one of the best!

It was dimly lit, they had live music, and the food was delicious. The servers were attentive as well. They offered a "valentine's dinner for two" menu for $150 which was a great deal, but we opted to order off of the menu. We both enjoyed the calamari and variety croquettes as appetizers. We got the Churrasco #2 which came with a ton of meats, all cooked perfectly. The sausage was my favorite- SO flavorful. We'll have leftovers for days. We enjoyed the rice and black beans as well. We wish we had room to try dessert!
