"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) [hidden link] #3) I realize this isn't a recommendation."

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. View menu

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...

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...
