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 spac...
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...
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...
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.

My go to colombian food spot when im in jackson heights, consinstancy always the same. Service is usually decent its not a huge place it is 2 floors but everything is visible so you wont be missed. My go to order, Bandeja with the steak, a con somè (chicken soup) and an arepa with cheese with 2 colombianas on the side (colombian kola/soda).
I had an upset stomach after my experience here.
Somewhere between the ceviche, my fish & tomato stew, and the uncooked/hard rice is where it all
This is the rotisserie chicken in NYC. Not to mention the best FRIJOLES on earth. And the prices are AMAZING!
