Great steak for only around $30-ish -- juicy, flavorful, and huge portions. Service was friendly and efficient, with all the dishes coming out in under 15 minutes. Loved the happy atmosphere, local music, and creative decorations. Definitely worth coming back! read more

12/17/25. I had a great experience at Pollo a la Brasa on Junction Blvd in Jackson Heights. The place was clean, beautifully decorated, and ready for Feliz Navidad . I ordered the avocado salad, tostones, and a whole rotisserie chicken, and everything was delicious. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, the salad was fresh, and the tostones were crispy. The lady at the front was very kind, and the cook did an amazing job. Great food, friendly service, and a festive atmosphere. I'll definitely be back! read more

I ordered delivery on Uber eats. The steak and onions came with rice, a lot of onions and plantains. It was two servings of steak which were thin but filling. I paid about $21. I would order here again if I'm in the mood Colombian style food. It's open late, so it's a great option if you're tired of the regular late night food. The food came packaged well and the order was correct. No complaints on delivery ! read more

I recently went to eat this past Sunday with my son and had a bad experience. I've been coming to the location on 83st 37ave for many years. The Manager was rude but quickly to take my tips. I'm very generous and always tip extra to the staff. It is the holidays and people do drink. I'm a regular there and the manager did not allow me to have a drink of Sangria. This manager has always been a problem to people. I will never come back to this place to eat. I walked out because of bad service and attitude. They made my son pay for the food that we didn't eat ‼ read more

I ordered the breaded fillet and they gave me they gave more pork instead. I always get either the breaded chicken or breaded fillet. I called to tell them I got the wrong order and the lady took me that I did not order the fillet, that the ticket says I ordered pork. Now if the ticket said chicken I would understand because sometimes I do order chicken. But I have never ordered pork. I do not like pork. I know for a fact I said fillet. But she kept telling me that I ordered pork. She was not accommodating in any way - was adamant that I made the order wrong when I didn't. So I got stuck when an expensive meal I did not order. I've been ordering for years and but I feel I will not order from here again after this experience. read more

Horrible service .... the cashier taking the order either thinks that she owns the place or that she is the last Coca cola in the dessert ( Stefania ) this place has the name " pollos Mario's but is nothing like the other ... horrible in service they just want your money and get you out of there. Owner ship needs to get involved... read more

Hoy a las 7:00p.m. visité su restaurante, el cual aparenta ser un lugar decente. Sin embargo, la actitud de la cajera que me atendió dejó mucho que desear y arruinó por completo mi experiencia. Al acercarme al mostrador, la cajera estaba distraída conversando con sus compañeros y ni siquiera se dignó a pedirme la orden. Cuando decidí retirarme, me gritó de manera molesta para que regresara a firmar, a pesar de que no la había escuchado previamente. Este tipo de comportamiento es inaceptable y da una imagen muy negativa del establecimiento. Espero que tomen medidas serias al respecto, ya que empleados con esta actitud pueden alejar a los clientes y afectar la reputación del restaurante. read more

The steak skirt was amazing. It's about $43, but it came with a small salad, beans, rice and boiled potatoes. Portion is probably meant for 2 people. But for a growing teenager, it was good enough for himself. Would definitely reorder. read more

Came to Pollos Amarios for breakfast today (which they serve from 3am-11.30am) and it exceeded all my expectations! The bistek ranchero was absolutely delicious and the hot chocolate was soooooo good. I'm usually not too crazy about Colombian food (my wife is, being from Colombia) but this place definitely changed my opinion. The interior of the restaurant is very pretty, and despite being located on a busy thoroughfare, we were able to enjoy our meal in peace. Pollos Amarios has great food, nice decor, friendly service and is even open 24/7 - what more could you ask for? read more

Great Colombian spot in Jackson Height , Queens. I used to come to this place back when I was in college in 2000. Loved this spot, they are located by the train station in fact they are under the 7 line train track. Very spacious restaurant and they totally abide by the COVID safety measures. They check your temperature before you enter the restaurant, then you'd need to put your name and contact information on this list in case of an emergency and finally they have this gigantic sanitizer liquid jar where you can wash off all those germs before finally making it into the restaurant. I usually like to sit on the second floor where they have a cool orange tree, it's not real. I liked how the waiters and waitresses dressed in white and red, that's the restaurant's theme colors. I've always ordered their breaded chicken cutlet with fries and a side of yellow rice. Omg, they served a lot of food. This time around I'd also ordered their sangria, which was tasty and delicious. My friend and I had about 2 1/2 glasses each in case you are ordering a sangria pitcher. And we ended the night having flan for dessert. It's so sweet! They have many more delicious options on the menu. This place is super family oriented if you are thinking of having a family outing. Overall great place! read more

Service was horrible. Tried taking to a manger to split a bill and had to walk out without eating because they didn't have a manager. Once I started getting an attitude they tried getting all tough and tried to intimidate me lol. I would never ever come back to this piece of trash even if the food is decent. Ambiance is super old and outdated. Probably getting led poison from the paint. read more

I know this place for long time, first time I went there back in 2014 and it I wasn't happy with service but recently this year I went to eat at this place over 3 times and everything was great. The person I had an issue with is gone. My favorite dish is chicken and rice. Steak is also good, soup is delicious, but pork belly isn't that great, too sticky and hard. Food came fast and even super busy like 4th of July they still opened and handled things good. read more

As one of the most recognizable Colombian places in Jackson Heights, Pollos A La Brasa Mario has been serving to the community for years. Up until the pandemic, I don't think I've ever been here before 2AM or completely sober. Now that the hours have scaled back significantly (#1) it has become a regular establishment that just happens to be located on a super popular corner of 81st & Roosevelt. The interiors are eerily reminiscent of La Pollera de Mario in Sunnyside (#2), which also has similar menu design and other aspects of the business, which I'd conclude is under the same ownership. While it's usually cramped and crowded day and night, they have a second level to alleviate some of the space issues. Group dining here can be a challenge, but not a total bust. From a food perspective, I think their meats are the way to go. The bandeja paisa is always a hearty option, even if much of the plate is usually dry / overcooked. I feel similarly about the parrillada platters, but whatever you do, make sure they have skirt steak as a part of it. The beans and rice can be tasty, but I'd recommend asking for the egg to be over easy for the egg yolk alone. I'd skip on the pollo a la brasa, even if it's part of the namesake of this place. Parking is going to be frustrating for anyone driving in, so I'd suggest the 7 train whenever possible (#3). It is located just steps away from the 82nd street station and is easy to get to on foot from any of the nearby stations. They could probably use an extra body or two on the staffing front as sometimes service is a bit of an afterthought. ______________ (#1) They now close at 10pm, or even slightly earlier. (#2) https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-pollera-de-mario-sunnyside-2 (#3) I realize this isn't a recommendation. read more

Delicious and authentic Colombian food, size and price is fair. Huge variety of traditional dishes, from seafood to classics like bandeja paisa, we ordered the bandeja Mario which was basically a sampler platter with different varieties of meats and sides and also the beef tongue in criolla sauce. Both dishes were generous and tasted great. This location is decorated like a the traditional Fonda paisa with classical colonial architecture, it was nice to be seated inside and felt like in a Colombian finca patio, service was great and our food came out fast. Would recommend and will definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

For my second to the last dinner in the city, I begged my cousin to take me to a unique place that I would not be able to find back home. So Pollos A La Brasa Mario in Jackson Heights it was! Upon walking into the restaurant, we were whisked away to the 2nd floor, which was decorated in a lively way. It was very homey and I was impressed by the selection of meat and fish dishes. They were served family-style and reasonably priced for the generous portion as well: - naranja soda ($2.75): never heard of this fruit until I stepped foot into this restaurant. To me, it tasted like a less sour, more sweet orange juice. It was refreshing to drink considering how filling everything else was! - side order tostones ($4.75): fried green plantains. A nice starch to go alongside all of our meats. - #27 bandeja mario ($28.95): Mario's special platter with chicken, lechona, steak, cassava, beans, and fries. The chicken was juicy, the steak was flavorful, the cassava was starchy, the fries were fried to a nice crisp, the beans were flavorful... but sadly the lechona was dry for my taste. Overall, I was very happy with this meal. Glad that this was my first Colombian food experience! Excited to try more in the future. read more

Absolutely love this place. I have been going here for as long as I can remember. Their skirt steak never fails !

A Jackson Heights staple, Pollos A La Brasa Mario is a must try in the area for authentic Colombian food.

La comida siempre sabrosa y fresca, buen servicio y buen precio. Me gusta ir a degustar unos sagarados aliementos. Recomendado!

I when to the location in Astoria off Steinways Street and Broadway Service was ok I only saw the waiter to take my order and bring the food and there was no water drinks took forever. So I order the typical large plater for 33 bucks, was ok could have been better. The pork rings was not cooked very well so we barely ate that, the Rotisserie chicken was so dry I can barely eat any of it. The grill steak and chicken was delicious. Now I guess it comes with fries and there is a option of yellow plantains, Crispy green plantains (tostones) or salad. However if you want to switch to those options is an additional charge of .50 to 1.00. If you want more rice and beans or if you taken left over home there is an additional charge. Now if you charging 33 bucks, but have the nerve to charge .50 - 1.00 to change the option that is on the menu ? I don't get it. I told them I don't want fires I'll take the yellow sweet plantain. They burn them and were black. I didn't sent them back, because I hate to do stuff like that. Beside the waiter drop the food and never saw them not even water was brought to the table. I guess maybe thats .50c too. This is why you can't add tip to the bill automatically. I left him 15% tip and honestly he didn't deserve a tip at all. I always tip 20-30%. However he was terrible. Very dissatisfied with the food and service read more

I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for affordable delicious food in the likes of rice, beans, steak, seafood ect.... it all comes fresh and hot. The restaurant is open late so after a nite out this would be a perfect go to spot! Beware of the line, might be a long wait for a seat but the place is big and spacious with an up and downstairs seating area, we waited like 10mins for a seat but it was worth it. The waiter was fast, friendly and attentive and was very familiar with the menu. I was in the mood for my usual ( seafood ) but then I quickly changed my mind, so I ordered the next best thing (steak) and potatoes. I started with the sangria which was deeelishous!! I'm not a fan of sangria but that restaurant is known for it so I had to try, after the first cup I wanted a pitcher. It was So good!!!!! . Their also known for there pollo (hence the name) so my husband ordered a whole chicken with rice and beans. The pollo was juicy and seasoned amd cooked well, however I wasn't a fan of the beans. As for my skirt steak, i ordered it medium well and it came hot and juicy, nice and Charred and made perfect. I absolutely enjoyed my steak and the red potatoes. The only thing I wish is that I had more. I also wish i had room for dessert would've love to try their dessert but I was stuffed and ready for bed. Would definitely return with friends or family very soon read more

I got the whole chicken takeout. I thought the chicken would be fresh as I saw fresh chicken being roasted from the window. However the chicken I got was cold and dry. I was very disappointed to say the least. I would go to la casa del pollo down the block if you want fresh roast chicken. Also, for some reason, possibly due to the fact the restaurant is packed, they only let a few people in at a time. read more
