As a frequent visitor of Pio Pio, I had no idea of this hidden gem a few minutes away. On the outside, it looked like a regular sports bar, but when you walk in, it was much homier and family friendly than I expected. The place was decorated for the 2024 Olympics AND had these gorgeous floral details around the ceiling. I wasn’t expecting it to be as big as it was too, with enough room at the bars and tables to grab a quick drink and also if you wanted to eat. But thank God my friend said to get a table because we ordered so many amazing things, and I’m not sure how it would’ve fit at the bar. Firstly, every single thing came out super fresh and fast, and piping hot. You can tell all of the tostones, the cassava fries, and the arepas were freshly fried. Nothing was soggy and everything hot! Secondly, can we just talk about this skirt steak was PERFECT with the chimichurri sauce? The portions were huge but understand that I took my leftovers home happily WITH the sauces 😏 I also loved the garlic sauce with the tostones, as I have a soft spot for creamy garlic sauces 🥹 We ordered a few more things because we’re greedy, and everything was a hit. Even the drinks, the Sangarita was delicious and strong. Please drink at your own risk haha. The menu was overwhelming, but it’s nice that everything is in English and Spanish. There’s something for EVERYONE, and I appreciate that especially since my friend is vegetarian. All in all, a very solid spot. I will go back. Food and service and ambiance were all hits, and the food was also decently priced. A great place to bring your family but also if you wanted to watch a game and drink beers with your...
Read moreHave you been to Barriles restaurant in Queens, NYC? No, well you are missing the most delicious and authentic Colombian food prepared outside of Colombia.
If you have a few minutes to read, then you will find out about a place where you go, eat extremely good Colombian food, with great portions served and very affordable prices.
Come and enjoy this family oriented sports bar restaurant and see for yourself and I can assure you that you won't be disappointed.
Service, it is a WOW, in capital letters. First the very attentive and beautiful manager (spoiler, she is married). Jenny is a rare jewel found in this environmment, where no one cares about you but then wants you to come back. She really cares and goes out of her way to please you, the word NO, she doesn't uses.
Serving staff, well I am fortunate enough to be served each time I come with wife, friends and family by the same friendly and caring staff members.
I will only mention a few names, but all of them are equally impressive. Andrés Zapata, Andrés Arias and Tatiana are our favorites, but the other girls and guys are equally friendly and helpful, kudos to them too.
The bar staff, impressive, the kitchen members working behind curtains, great 👍.
I can keep writing for hours but enough for this time. Believe me, I will also let you know if things change.
I DOUBT THAT 😕. Just come and experience on your own and you won't be disappointed.
Last word, your wallet will be very happy with prices 😊 😀 . Thanks to all of you who make the few hours we spent at the restaurant...
Read moreI've been here a couple of times, they have good food and drinks too. But this time I have several comments other then complains. My party and I ordered with no problem, but at the end of my partners meal there was what seemed as white hair at the bottom of the plate. (Could of been a thread from a rage o something). Not to mention that none of us had our hair down or had white nor blonde hair. We called the manager to tell her in a good manner what we found, not pretending to get any kind of amenity or whatsoever. We did not make a big deal about it, we just wanted for her to know so maybe they would be more careful. Her answer was very sarcastic and some what arrogant. She said that it was impossible that could have happened if all the cook's were bold headed. We just looked at each other like all right we just wanted for you to know. For what she kept saying it was impossible. For that I would say as a manager she has a lack of understanding and experience. We never meant to make a big deal nor did we expect such an answer. She just took the plate and did not come back to our table or say anything. Eventually, we needed to use the restroom and some of the people who work in the kitchen came out clearly they were not all bold headed as she sweared they were. Anyway... It is appropriated that she goes table by table greeting and thanking people for being there, but for us the way she responded and handled this situation leaves much to say and desire about her as...
