Located in Hempstead, Pollos Mario is a go-to destination for those craving authentic Colombian comfort food served with warmth and generosity. Known for its rotisserie-style chicken, hearty platters, and vibrant Latin flavors, this restaurant delivers meals that feel homemade and satisfying from the very first bite.
Food & Drinks
The menu is filled with familiar Colombian staples, but the Rotisserie Chicken (Pollo Asado) is the undeniable star — tender, well-seasoned, and slow-roasted so the flavor runs deep. Pair it with Sazoned Rice, Red Beans, and Sweet Plantains for a classic plate that hits all the right notes.
For something more indulgent, the Bandeja Paisa offers a full spread: steak, chorizo, chicharrón, fried egg, plantains, rice, beans, and avocado — a true Colombian feast. The Arepas, Empanadas, and Chicharrón Appetizer are excellent starters to share. Seafood lovers will appreciate the Cazuela de Mariscos, a creamy, comforting seafood stew packed with flavor.
To drink, the freshly made juices — especially Maracuyá (Passionfruit) and Mango — are refreshing and pair perfectly with the rich, savory dishes. If you’re wrapping up with something sweet, don’t skip the Flan or Tres Leches Cake.

Pollos Mario offers a lively, welcoming atmosphere that feels like stepping into a community gathering place.
