I'm planning many return trips here because they've got their menu dialed in perfectly. Staff members provided service consistent with the place's appearance. They master cooking techniques, drink preparation and space utilization. Their food is neither surprising nor disappointing. No additional comments needed. read more

I placed an order on Doordash and I'm happy I did; I finally had good Colombian with flavored frijoles that can be delivered to Brooklyn ( the struggle to find good Colombian has been food has been real) One thing I have to say in general, is that it's crazy for me to understand why it's so hard to get a real bandeja paisa in Queens/Brooklyn these days. I say this because after looking at numerous menus, I noticed that each one is always missing part of the meal that makes it what it is ( avocado, chicharron, maduro, egg) and this place is included in that. It's the only reason they didn't receive a 5 for my review. What that said, they at least give you the option for the chicharron or chorizo and it comes with avocado ( a lot of places exclude avocado ). Now back to the food; the delivery came timely and was well packaged. I was pleased to see the portion of this as well! Let me start off with the empanada, that was NOT oily at all! Had more meat than potato and I saw the guiso ( that consists of tomato, scallion, etc) that was used to flavor the meat, making this a uniquely rare find of a good empanada. Now let me move onto the frijoles; they were sooooo good and perfectly seasoned which is another rare find. This made me so happy because I feel that this makes or break the dish at the restaurant you eat this dish from. Additionally, the meat was flavored well and the it was just all perfect! It's been months since I have moved and been looking for a new Colombian restaurant and after 4 months and a lot of bad orders, I'm happy to say I found my new go to place. read more

My friend and I went there a few weeks ago. The server was really friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They have outdoor seating and when we request a table change they were really nice about it. The food was really good and tasted fresh. We shared a fish dish and the bandeja paisa. I had passion fruit juice which i recommend, it was delicious. read more

The steak is well sized, chicken also done well. Been going here since a little kid. Obviously convenient as stated being open in the AM. I got rushed out the restroom once just having been inside less than 2minutes by some waiter knocking, a little strange. Music is good specially for latinos. read more

Food is ok, typical Colombian food. Ordered a number of times and never ever get the salad mentioned on the menu, take it off the menu if your never going to provide it! Switching back to another Mario's! read more

This is a Colombian restaurant in Woodside right under the 69th Street subway stop. It has been there for many years. The inside is simple, like a diner. The waiter who served us was also very friendly. The food was good but not great. On the menu, they have a section of combination platters - several meats with rice and beans and salad or plantains. I chose the "Bandeja Mario". It is their version of the Colombian bandeja paisa. It came with carne asada, lomo de cerdo, pork chicharron, roast chicken, rice, beans and salad. The portion of my meal was massive! I have a big appetite, and it was way too much meat. This was easily enough for two people to share, and it cost only $16. My friend also bought a similar combination platter that had a lot of the same things my bandeja had, but was slightly smaller. It was still too much for him, and his was only $10. The downside was that the meat itself was mostly very dry and a little hard - not moist and flavorful. The carne asada and chicken were especially dry. Big portions but the food needs more flavor. read more

I'm hungry late at night after watching a broadway show & looking for any restaurants thats still open around woodside then I found this! Me & my bf ordered 2 types of food that we forgot the name. (Sorry) but I took a picture. My bf ordered some pork chop with egg, beans & fried banana plantain on the side. I ordered a rotisserie chicken with fries, rice & salad on the side. My ordered came with chicken & potato soup. Food came out fast! Everything is so tasty & we enjoyed our meal. Love it that its cheap & they're open late. This place is good if you're hungry after partying. read more

DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY FROM HERE!!! Food will be cold and soggy. Never again. We ordered two entrees. It came 30 minutes after the estimated delivery time. We called after the first 15 minutes past; the person on the phone said to give it another minute or two. Another 15 minutes, we get the phone call. Delivery man apologizes but has no reason. After looking at other reviews online, it looks like this is a common issue. read more

This is a Colombian restaurant with the typical Colombian fare. The location is right on the corner as soon as you get on/off the 7 train. Super convenient! We were told to sit wherever, and as it wasn't too crowded. I'm not sure if staff speaks English, as everyone only spoke Spanish to us. The staff was good through out the meal but we did have to get their attention. The menu is extensive, however there isn't a kid's menu. We ended up ordering chicken fingers and french fries for the young one. I had the minitipica and my boyfriend, something I can't even remember. The adult's food was great and it came with a lot of food. Very filling. My kid's chicken however, was under-cooked. It was immediately replaced with apologies. The decor was nice and even though it looks small, it can seat a lot of people. Soccer is playing on the TVs and you can keep the drinks flowing. I did try the Sangria and it was good. read more

The crack spot for when you need some grub at 3am! Love getting the breaded chicken with all the fixings - rice. Beans. Fries. Salad. What more could you want?! read more

The food I ordered here is okay, but the time when I pay my bill is totally different amount from the price on their menus. I asked the server why he charged me additional 20% from the original price on their menus. He answered me out of the line and I don't wanna argue longer in front of my friends and I feel like being tricked that night... So Guys fix your Prices in your menus and explain promptly from the very beginning to your customers before they fell to another victim. Sorry but I'm not coming back this place anymore... read more

If you want to stretch your dollar, this is the place. My friend and I love meat, so we ordered the bandeja Mario for only $21.95. We couldn't finish the entire plate; it was so much food. Rotisserie chicken, chicharrón, beefsteak, pork loin, rice, beans, sweet plantains, french fries, salad and arepa. I must say, I didn't even touch the arepa as it was pretty dry and tasteless. Everything else was delicious. And did I tell you we waited just 10 minutes before being brought our food? read more

Service here is phenomenal, always very welcoming. Food is delicious and still reasonably priced with big portions. My favorite Colombian restaurant! I always leave feeling happy from here. read more

At first I tho ugh it was just a small Little bakery but having more sitting in the back it made for an interesting experience. The staff is very friendly, and I must say I was in love at first bite with the food. I first ordered a beef empanada for an appetizer. And can I say this was the best freaking empanada I have ever had. So good that we actually ordered more the next day for delivery. I ordered the carne asada with rice beans and salad, with a side of tostones. Boy was the food so food I couldn't stop I still taste it in my taste buds it was so amazing portions were great even though I must admit I would have liked a little more rice and beans on the side. I highly recommend this location. read more

Great food! Love the chicken and rice but please indicate on your menu that the beans contain meat in it. Not all beans have it so we assumed this place serves the same way but there were chunks of meat in it when we got the order! read more

I CAN'T believe that as of Sept 2013, this place is rate like a mild 2 and half- THIS IS A CLASSIC PLACE people!!! I'm sorry for you idiots that ordered things that wasn't um...derp.... POLLO ALA BRASA. cuz, you know? the place is called POLLO ALA BRASA marion. for you non-espanol cats, pollo ala brasa is like chicken roast goodness. you get it with rice and beans, add an avocado. I love the chicken platter here...not a big fan of the bland potatoes, i'm good with the lettuce salad with the beets, watever. The ROAST CHICKEN is what you come here for. Stay away from that miserable looking chicharron that they SWEAAAAARRRR is chicharron...nuh uh, leave dat to ma dominican brothers up on 109th st, Santo domingo, se verdad! THE HOTS SAUCE here is KICKASS!! right amount of tart, although not really hot... but that didn't stop the waitress chick from ROLLING her eyes when i asked for my 3rd little teacup of hotsauce. SERIOUS rude like she was "AYyyeee! los chinitos Animales~!!!" yea honey... "We ANiMALEs for Dat CULO!" she did not appreciate that...but the delivery primo that was picking up really liked it when he heard it. And if the delivery primo gives you a fist bump, aint no one gonna fuck wit you. anyway yea. get the chicken here. read more

Tried all Colombian restaurants in the are and can assure that this one is the best. Great delivery service as well, thank you!

Great and Interesting Eats on a Budget I highly recommend the daily soup specials at the cozy and warmly decorated Colombian restaurant Pollos A La Brasa Marion on Roosevelt Ave and 69th Street in Woodside. Splurge and order the large soup of the day, all are great, and costing no more than $7.95 which includes rice, salad and a meat sampling. I actually always take home half my meal! The coffee is to die for. On one recent visit I was treated to a sampling of delicious doughnut-like bunuelos, on the house. The warm and friendly service cannot be beat! The restaurant was recommended to me by my Ecuadorian born brother-in-law who finds the food authentic and reminds him of his dining experiences back home. read more

First off, the service here was really nice. Were really friendly & helpful. The juices were really nice (we had 3: papaya; guava; soursop). The soup was also fantastic. Unfortunately, we were a little disappointed with the chicken, as that was the primary consideration in going. It was a bit dryer than I would've liked and the marinade was not quite what we were expecting. Had tvs going for the world cup. It was good viewing, albeit slightly distracting for conversing. But, did get to see the game, which was nice. Compared to other options in the area, must say there are other things worth revisiting. I'd like to say I'd come back again, but there are so many other places that are guaranteed deliciousness... that's a hard call. read more

If you like food, any time of the day, and good Columbian food. This place is for you. Everything is good, 24h a day. Be prepared to be pulled over on these streets, with checkpoints, so dont bring anything you shouldn't have in the first place with you. This area is COPLAND. FOOD GREAT, SERVICE GREAT, DID I MENTION 24 HOURS A DAY? I am white and trust me if you like food, you will like Pollos A La Brasa Marion, I just call it MARIOS. =) read more

I went here and I was satisfied. My favorite colombian dish is bistec encellabado (sorry if I spelled that wrong. Im still practicing my spanish) . Therefore I ordered that entree and I was happy with it. Pollos mario is the best im not going to lie but it was a good runner up. Only street parking is available. read more

Always satisfies my hunger! I usually come here or order from here my bandeja paisa, pollo, paella or my soups. My favorite is on thursdays because the soup of the day is sopa de tostones and it's so delicious! The staff is very friendly and bring your food out quick. Love this place! I usually come here atleast once a week for lunch with my coworker. read more

The food here is pretty good though its all typical latin food. Fried and/ or baked chicken, steak, sausage, plantains and stuff. The prices are a bit high but they are open late. This place is good when you buy food to go. The interior looks dark and the tables plus utensils are sometimes dirty. They do give out large portions of food though, which is a plus. read more

This is THE most disgusting and disappointing food I've ever ordered - EVER. Granted, it was only a pizza, but it had no sauce, WAY too much cheese, and was extremely skimpy on the toppings. Not to mention, an 8" pizza (if that) was almost $12.00!! Plus tip!!! I'm never ordering from this place again, no matter HOW hungry I am. I kid you not, I just spit a bite of this horrendous pizza out into the box it came in, and on top of the rest of the pizza. Boy, do I wish I could get my money back... wow. read more

Price wise, they're excellent. Can't beat a large $10 meal. I would say they are pretty traditional, and thinking back I wish I would have got the chicken. The steak was alright, but my girlfriend loved the arroz con pollo. The empanadas were on point, and we had some great service. It's a shame folks aren't taking advantage of it at lunch, because it was pretty great! read more

a family favorite! always come here. portions are huge, so we always take it home. its right by the 61st st stop on the 7 train, and a short walk to 74th st broadway station (E, F, M, R, 7 train). the food isn't overly seasoned and they preserve the original flavors of the ingredients very well. everything kind of blends together after a while, which is something i actually like! but after a certain point, i call it a day and pack up the remainder to take home. read more

i really loved this place since my boyfriend bought some whole barbequed chicken and chicken salad, both were not particularly good, but pretty delicious with reasonable price. B.U.T. i dont recommend to order for delivery here. NEVER!!!!!!!!! I only live a few blocks away from this place, and this place is just around the subway station so me and my boyfriend always took out the food(usually chicken). but juss today, about 20 minutes ago, we ordered delivery. it was fried calamary, (which was $8.95 at the togo menu) and beefsteak with fried eggs(also was 11.50) and small fish stew ($6.25) But the delivery check says calamary is $9.20, steak is $12.10, and fish stew is $6.85. and the fried calamary was sooooooooooooooooooooo small!!!!!!! i mean, in a small delivery bowl, it was like...a dozen of 25 cents quarter coin sized calamary rings. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? did i just buy this with $9.20???? and even we ordered steak and soup, they forgot to put some forks and knives and spoon. Well, we just called and complained, they said sorry for the forks. And also we complained about the amount of fried calamary, and they said... WE CHARGE THOSE DELIVERY CONTAINERS TOO. ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO SAY THAT???? wow, ive worked in the restaurant and also i order food for delivery a lot but i have never heard of this shit. after that, we checked yelp and their website, and those menus have increased price. they SHOULD've told to their customers about the price before they hang up the phone.!!!!! anyways we ate some. the thing is, the fish stew is not a fish stew. fish was fried and it was separated with soup. how can you say it is fish stew,"sancocho de pescado" ?? and you should know this, that fish has so many tiny BONES. i just ate 3 bites and i found 6 peices of bones. WE REALLY DISAPPOINTED. before, i really liked this place, but now? i will never order there. NEVER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This place is similar to Pollos Mario on Woodside Ave, but it's open 24 hours. I think we'll be switching over to this location. Good service and delicious Colombian food. The food came out approximately 10 minutes after we ordered. I like simple dishes so I got Carne Asada which comes steak, rice, beans, salad, a plantain, and una arepa (which is a bit small.) Other dishes comes with eggs, pork, chicken, etc. They have the usual Arroz con Pollo and also saw several seafood dishes on the menu. Postobon apple soda! read more

I was not going to review this place until I saw how wrong the other two reviews were! First of all, do not mistake this place with Pollos MARIO. This is the cheap, crappier, generic version. I have no problems with "fake" things, when they are good that is. This place sucks! The meat was oily and cheap. The rice and beans seemed "leftover". The salad was mushy. Just low quality food, really. Who cares that this place is open 24hrs a day. The area gets real seedy at night and there is something wrong with you if you are drunk and roaming around this neighborhood at 3am looking for crappy Colombian. Does it beat going to Mickey D's? Barely. read more

This is one of the worst restaurants in the neighborhood. Not only is the food unsavory (dried out meat, oily and nasty sauces) the staff rude and their light display in the window an annoyance to their neighbors, they also received 40 violation points on their latest inspection report from the NYC Department of Health! The violations include improperly installed/maintained plumbing, food being at risk of being contaminated, and no facilities to clean utensils, among others. You can look it up yourself at http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/rii/index.shtml It may be open 24 hours but its convenience is not worth risking my health again. read more

The empanadas are horrible... staff super sweet and helpful sides are good. Would not go again for food but for coffee and cake

This place is advertised as 24 hrs but its not. At least not 7 days a week. And the weekends it varies. There's rarely ever any people in here so your food comes out quick. And the service is good. The food tastes good too but mediocre compared to the real pollos a la brasa mario read more

I usually stop here for diner when I'm too tired to cook its fast, good and cheap cant beat that

Loved this place! I enjoy walking into restaurants with nice interiors and this was one of them! At the front they have a fast food section with booth style seating; and in the back there were intimate seating arrangements. Radio music was playing the whole time and we sat next to a window sill with little Colombian statuettes, so cute! We ordered the Carne Asada Platter and Country Platter. The Platters came with rice, beans plátano maduros (sweet plantains), and corn cake. The Country Platter came with additional eggs, avacado, and chicharrón (pork skin). The food was very flavorful especially the beans!!! Strangely, The hot sauce was really fresh, with a pleasant scent!! The steak was hot and fresh off the grill. I am definitely going to visit this place again and order different things. I would've given 5 stars but they didn't have any more tres leches cake and I really wanted dessert!! ;(( but overall A+ read more

So I'm here just to break the tie. Whatever I had to say has already been stated by Sita and Chris. Believe them. I ordered their signature chicken, and just had to look at it to lose my appetite. That should be enough. By the way, I'm Colombian. And this place does not do justice to our food. read more

I've been ordering delivery from this restaurant for about 6 years. Last year I placed an order through one of those takeout websites and they sent me the wrong order and when I called to let them know, the girl on the phone told me I was wrong and that I received the right order, even though I've been ordering the same thing over and over again.They refused to take it back and wouldn't refund me my money, so the website I ordered through had to refund me. Anyway, I didn't order from them again until recently except that I called in this time. So I placed an order with them today and it took over an hour for the food to get to me. When the delivery guy finally got here, he was rude and he complained that he was outside over 20 minutes ago. Normally when the delivery guy is outside, he calls but this guy just didn't think that was the smart thing to do. Oh, and did I mention that usually the delivery guy has a motorized bike and gets here within 25-35 minutes, but today, he drove here in a car. I've driven over there to pick up food and it takes 5 minutes to get there. When I got inside, my food was ice cold. I didn't send it back because I couldn't spend another second without any food in my stomach. This is definitely the last time I will be ordering food from this restaurant. I would have spoken to a manager but I tried that the first time I had a issue with them and apparently they either don't have one or everyone is partially the manager. Order food from Pollos A La Brasa Marion if you're either dying from absolute starvation or it's late and you're drunk and hungry. read more
