Los Marinillos: Reviews & Ratings
Cozy little cafe with delicious Colombian food. I got the chicharoon with rice and beans and salad. It was freshly made. Will come back to try other foods.
Very tasty Colombian food. Worth giving a try. Friendly staff.
Such an amazing find! Loved everything and really tasted like food from your FAV Columbian grandmothers kitchen. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back HUGE PORTIONS and incredible desserts
The lady allowed me to take my son to the bathroom, had to walk through the kitchen and it was spotless. Service was very friendly. Had empanadas and this bread with soft cheese inside; all was really good
Get ready for a big, hearty Columbian meal. Or two, because the portions at Los Marinillos are so generous. The carne guisada gives you two slices of stewed meat that are thick yet tender, and the sauce goes well with rice. The chicharron is something I have ordered a second time, as they season the meat so well that each bite just releases a satisfying burst of flavor beneath the crisped exterior. If you're feeling hungry, you may be keen on the mini bandeja, which is a combo of chicharron and steak, with rice, an egg, plantain, a salad, and a large serving of beans. It would be enough for 2, or perhaps even 3. Enjoy! Note: service may be slow here, so be prepared to wait.
Feels like home, food is amazing ! If I could I would eat this everyday.
It was my first time trying Columbian food. My bf introduced me to it during my first visit to NYC. The restaurant was located only 2 blocks away from the hotel we stayed (The One Boutique). It was very delicious! I loved the Columbian chicken Sancocho. The place easily became our go-to restaurant for all meal time -breakfast, lunch, dinner. When we didn’t know what to eat, we just knew we would get food from Los Marinillos. We stayed in Flushing for about 2 weeks, and I don’t remember how many times we had gotten food from this restaurant -ALOT of times because of how delicious it is. We dined in, take out and called for delivery. Only thing, not everyone speaks English. One time my bf called to make a delivery order, and the girl had difficulty understanding what he was saying on the phone. We ended up walking two blocks and picked up the food by ourselves. I might miss some, but here’s some of the food we had ordered from the restaurant: Chicken sancocho, Philly steak, rice with chicken and beans, sausage roll, creamy soup, sweet fried plantains, empanadas, some coffee and mango juice. All of them were delicious! We highly recommend this place if you’re staying around Flushing. When I come back to NYC, I’ll definitely come back.
Quaint little Colombian cafe with warm, friendly English speaking staff. Tried their qiumbanya ice coffee and it was delish. Also their Hawaiian burger was good too. Had it as a takeout. Place was clean.

Patrons rave about the hearty portions and the freshness of every dish. From the savory chicharrón paired with rice, beans, and salad—a meal that even Rose Valor K. described as "delicious"—to the highly recommended carne guisada, there’s something for every palate. The portions are generous, as reflected in Sulwyn Lok’s review, suggesting that a single order might be enough to share among two or even three diners.
One of the standout features of Los Marinillos is the love and care that goes into each dish. You can almost feel the influence of a Colombian grandmother’s kitchen in every bite.
