Everything is exactly what I want from a pollo a la brasa meal. Good sized Whole Chicken 3 Sides that is succulent. The yuca is fried perfectly especially considering it was delivered with chance for steaming. Small Peruvian Canario beans are beyond flavorful. The Extra aji amarillo sauce loz is on the salty side, but not gonna lie, it makes it. Extra spicy rocoto sauce loz packs the right amount of heat. And the juices slap everytime
If you like tasty chicken, this place is amazing. Even the same old sides such as green beans and cole slaw are killer with wonderful flavor that even my meat- and-potatoes man enjoyed them. I got the yuca fries and white rice. Delicious. Quarter of a chicken was plenty, too much actually.
Hands down best chicken in Charleston. Closest thing to El Pollo Rico (Arlington, VA) and should be in everyone’s monthly/weekly dining rotation. Incredible stuff!
Loved the food here! The Yucca fries were especially delicious. The chicken was incredibly juicy and well seasoned. Portions were also quite large and great value! Will be returning!
Went there for breakfast at 7 am. I work nights so I cannot visit during the day. The chicharrón breakfast sandwich was amazing. Full of flavor with a cup of coffee. I also had the cheese sandwich. The goat cheese was very tasty but the sandwich was dull. Perhaps needs to be heated. Nevertheless, I put it on the air fryer at home and it was delicious. I got me a whole chicken left over from the night before to make soup but I ate a few pieces while cutting it and it was so good. The chicken is flavorful with very distinctive spices. Highly recommended during lunch.
Just left Mario’s Food excellent! But the best part of our meal was Connor. Excellent customer service. I was having difficulty ordering through the computer. I’m a senior not that savvy. Connor picked up on this. He made me feel so at home. The menu suggestion were excellent. I have to say the food was also excellent. The white rice was very full of flavor. The chicken was also filled bodied burst of flavor. We will come back again, every time we come to Charleston. What a difference from Daytona Beach where I’m from. I love friendly, polite people with smiles on there faces, great attitude. Connor definitely makes Mario’s He’s an asset. Thank you Connor. Mario I hope you appreciate him.
It was so yummy! We just got here from Tennessee for a short vacay and came across this gem. We ordered the whole chicken to share between the 3 of us along with yucca fries, white rice and green beans. The chicken was on the dry side but it was so delicious. Not enough for us to fuzz over. It was so seasoned and dip it in their sauces and you're set! And while you here, don't forget to grab their homemade juices. So refreshing!
I order delivery when I take in house call and am at the hospital for 24h. This place is incredible. Chicken was still hot when it got to me downtown from MTP. Hugely flavorful cooked to perfection and while the delivery window was long, it arrived basically on time. 10/10 will order again.
