Excellent spot to eat and comfortable atmosphere. Not a cheap menu, but the food and sauces were really good.The only complaint I have is that the waiter (who was nice BTW) literally stood looking over us (at the end of the table, a foot away) as we were paying the bill and selecting the tip amount. Very awkward and not proper etiquette in my opinion.

I went to celebrate a friends birthday and the place had a strange smell. Additionally, we ordered a mojarra (fish) and it was so hard and greasy, it was over-fried that they couldnt even eat it. I also ordered some plantains with hogao and it was salty, with a lot of oil and sharp cuts. I dont recommend the restaurant.

Got the Bandeja Tipica. Delicious! The sauce that came with the empanadas were great on everything because it was just a little spicy, but had great flavor. Also had the Strawberry shake with water, definitely recommend if you like fresh strawberry without milk. Staff was great and very patient with me. Recommend eating at this place.

As a first time customer I was very disappointed,The menu did not reflect the price... like it was a first class restaurant. The only have one waitress and one cook which it took a long for the food. The food was ok.The bathroom wasnt presentable it all. Very duty.We ended up almost paying $100.00 for two breakfast and a take out.

I really enjoy the music there, the food are pretty expensive, but it’s delicious, I wish they don’t take a lot of time to serve you, but in general it’s super nice. I know the owner who is not a Colombian 100%, half salvadorean half Colombian, but anyways the food is excellent, the juices delicious and they also serve beer, club Colombia, águila. And the Picada is super big and delicious you can order one for 4 people and everyone will be very full…..

Just moved to Long Beach so this is the First time visiting this restaurant and The food is amazing. My go to Columbia dish is Bandeja Campesina. If ever in Long Beach and want a taste of Colombia, you must try El Paisa.

Ive been coming to this restaurant for over 7 years and as a restaurateur Ive always enjoyed the food and the service, add the fact of Colombian born I know what Colombian food should be!! unfortunately I had a bad experience, for one they no longer list the cost of the food items on the menu so basically they can charge whatever they want youll never know.Quality of food was not there and my sister bit into an empanada and there was a chicken bone in it I wont go back to this restaurant theyve cut corners and its really unfortunate.. time to move on to another Colombian restaurant

Decent food and loud, but good colombian music. The service needs improvement though. They are nice, but not very attentive. They walk right by you, without checking on you. If you don’t mind it. I recommend you to visit this place.

I ordered some pick-up this morning, and I was craving some Colombian food. I ordered 1 chicharon 3 empanadas and a chorizo. Everything costs $25. The food was good and nice. I was just surprised that for so little food, it would cost that much. I got 1 chorizo, and it cost 5 dollars. And the chicharon as well. The food came in two little bags, and it wasnt really that much. Sad that its so expensive I been to other Colombian places that have a while, Picada paisa for just 15, and it brings so much food.

Im glad to have found this place in LB. Was feeling bummed when El Bambuco closed down.Been there twice. The first time I got the Bandeja Paisa. Good stuff all the way.The second time it was a patacón, a flat, fried plantain shell with stuff on top. I had ordered it with some beef. They messed up a bit and gave it to me chicken. I was short on time so I just ate it; they did offer to fix it but I was short on time.Together with my patacón I got a sweet corn arepa topped with cheese. It was awesome.Parking is in the back of the property besides the laundromat that is next door. Failing that, theres plenty of street parking. The neighborhood looks a little dicey, so lock up your cars and dont leave anything of value there.

This restaurant surprise me. Because the food was ready is less than 5 minutes. A dish the is so long to serve. But this people made it so fast. The pork was so hard or the meats. I dont recommend this place at all 🤮

Very poor how they are organized, you ask for ketchup they forgot, and for lemon they forgot, ask for some water they forgot, had to get up and get there attention to get my orders, then my order takes 45 mins, and the worse part it was cold smh, this place is bad need new management..

Had a great time here! Food was amazing and tasted very authentic. Very good variety of dishes. They had a DJ as well playing very good music and many people got up to dance. The service is slow though. Do not try this place for a quick meal. In my opinion, it was worth the wait, but I hope they improve on that. All staff was very friendly and attentive though.

This is the second time I visited this place. First time, service was slow and server was very rude but I will say their empanadas were good but only if you have 40 min to wait for an order of 3. Ok so I decided to go back yesterday, I arrived at around 730ish we placed an order for empanadas we sat and waited. We waited 20 min for a bucket of beer, 40 min for empanadas, almost 45 for a picada. We also ordered arepas and they were burnt and not like a small grill burn but a whole side was deeply burnt. We had to keep getting up to ask about our order. Ok now the service, omg, this is the main reason I will not go back, the server (same one that served us both times mind you) was horrible. He seemed annoyed was completely rude and served us like we were bothering him. In conclusion, go here if you have about 2 hours to spare on lunch or dinner

Very disappointed about this Colombian restaurant. The food is very bad. It doesn’t taste like an original Colombian food. The empanadas are very grossed out, it seems like they were very old., reheated horribly. I was watching how they were preparing the juices and drinks very horribly dirty. They don’t use the proper cleaning stuff, they don’t were any globes. I ask of how have Wi-Fi their response say yea but the don’t share the password only the owner. Th airee with glades kind of rude when talking to other fellow employees in a way that u to o know they are talking smack about you. Ok. Kind of uncomfortable. The word part is that the price for the food is ridiculous expensive for the kind of food and service.

Nice place to eat authentic Colombian food. Pictures are the empanadas (appetizer), Arroz con mariscos (rice with seafood) and a typical Colombian soda (Colombiana). Service could use some improvement.

I ordered the fried fish with rice/plantains and the fish was extremely dry with a fishy smell, something that is not normal for fresh fried fish given that sat this often in other places. Not to mention they charge 33$ for the meal 🤦🏽‍♀️ that states it’s 21$ on their website. aside for that the rest of the sides were amazing.

Sancocho de gallina, the chicken was hard and with no flavor, the piece of avocado on the salad it was almost bad had some really dark parts, and too expensive for such a meal. The Inka restaurant has better prices and delicious meals.

OMG!!!...Being a descendant of Colombian parentage and not having had the pleasure to eat traditional Colombian cuisine in many years, it came as great joy to have come upon this fine establishment...the ambiance was and felt very Colombian...from the music playing in the restaurant to the decor as well...the waiters/waitresses were very friendly and attentive...and most of all...THE FOOD...it was top notch...it transported me back to a time when I lived in Colombia for a couple of years as a child and all the wonderful memories...but mainly it brought back strong memories of my grandmother and mother who cooked all these wonderful dishes...so so good...regretfully I lost them both back in 2013...so yea on one level it was I guess bittersweet...feeling their loss at that moment but the joy the visit brought to me in being able to enjoy the cuisine of my grandmother and mother after so many years made it very much worth it...and trust me I will be returning to enjoy more of it and often at that...soooo if you wish to enjoy and experience great and traditional Colombian cuisine...head over to this restaurant...El Paisa!!!

Usually I dont write reviews, but this one I cant just let it go, Sat about 3pm discover El Paisa restaurant and I thought, Im hungry lets give it a try! Im not going to talk about service because lots of reviews cover that, plus I order to go, waited 25min for my order and there was only one person doing everything, now the food was just sad, I order Picada, no arepa 1/2 Chorizo, hard overcooked pork meat, no tostones, it did had tajadas, chicken and beef, but way to many platano verde cut and fried like tajadas(platano verde is for tostones and patacones not tajadas), greasy papitas amarilla, everything tasted the same and was the same color like it was fried all together in old oil, they packed it in a aluminum container and covered with plastic wrap, went to my car try the yuca and it was Ok crunchy, everything else not good and when I got home 15min later it was worse everything was damp and ají not impressive, that picada was not colombian at all, this restaurant overcharge for non authentic food, told my experience to my sisters and brother that went before and they have worse stories about this place, wont ever go backMe Tumbaron!

This place is AMAZING! The staff are so incredibly kind, the selection is wide, and the portions are astronomically HUGE! Clearly they take pride in their cooking and this is the best Colombian food I’ve had in SoCal.

They have no customer service. Some of our food was ok but some was just gross! The salmon and nuggets we ordered were under cooked not to mention we had waited about an hour! I also didnt care for the fact that they served a table of 7 a plate at a time!

2023-01-24 10:29:41

The Menú doesn’t have the prices, but if you check online there are the prices. The owner won’t tell you to go online, the will charge you what they consider… The taste is ZERO… will never come back !!!!!

My husband and I went to eat there today. O e word AMAZING. The cazuela de mariscos was excellent, my husband ordered the sobrebarriga and the meat was so soft that he did not need the knife to cut it. Will definitively come back.

I love their food, as many other authentic ColOmbian people had stated here, only us can tell when our food actually tastes like back home. As others said, the place is not at an ideal location and there’s not enough parking, the waiting is long but during the pandemic, you just order, they give you and estimated pickup time and, the waiting is more than worth the good and authentic the food tastes. Prices are not bad compared to other Colombian restaurants in L.A. and although I still have yet to try most of their menu, what I’ve tried so far had been delicious. IDK how could anyone ever give a bad rating on the taste of the best Colombian food inL.A.!Update: Last time we went here, the dish portions were greatly reduced, I was happy because plates were huge, now IDK if I would come for an entry plate or just for an appetizer.

The prices were off the chart expensive for what we were served -2 stars for exorbitant pricing.Everything tasted great and service was good. I do not recommend eating here as I have had better food for less money at nicer locations.

We have meals here for two special occasions during the year, mothers day and birthdays. Its been a tradition now to come here every year for the past 4 years. Delicious food all the time! I usually order the typical platter, which comes with steak, fried egg, sausage, avocado, fried sweet plantain, rice, and beans. Soooo delicious!!! The steak tastes so darn good! Anyway, yeah, if youre curious about this place, you wont be disappointed with the food. Authentic and delicious.

Food was excellent, customer service varied when I got there, the servers were nicer than who ever the gentleman was behind the counter.The Bandeja paisa was incredible though. And they even custom made my wifes order replacing the meat with chicken 🐔, so they are versatile in their menu which is a major plus.I would give this place 5 stars but they didnt earn it 100% during that visit.$$ food is moderately priced.

Absolutely delicious! We ordered the Cazuela de mariscos, plato de carne asada, and jugo de lulo con leche. Portions were very large and filling and food was scrumptious! Decor of the restaurant is adorable and feels very Colombian. Staff was incredibly nice and patient with my broken Spanish. I cant wait to go back!

Update 01/11/23 the BEST COLOMBIAN EMPANADAS IN THE WHOLE WEST COAST! Been to many Colombian restaurants in LA and SF. Because my wife is Colombian and this is by far the best place! Been to Colombia and they taste exactly the same!!!! Friendly people and native Colombians, so it means you are tasting real authentic flavors.Good prices and they even have KARAOKE Nights!!!!

This place is great to get as close as you can to getting food in Colombia. They have a wider selection than other Colombian restaurants, some dishes on the pricier side.Its easy to miss, but there is a small parking lot for the restaurant a building or two behind the restaurant itself.The neighborhood looks a little rough, but dont be deterred. Get your Colombian on.

We went for dinner couple weeks ago and everything was exceptional thats why my father wanted to celebrate his birthday at this place with some friends but oh God this time everything was horrible, the service wasnt good the server took the order and he dissappear until he brought the food he never has how everything was, we brought a cake and we decided to take it home because the guy was so busy talking with his friends at the bar he never paid attention to us, my friends asked me why we decided to spend special day ovethere when everything was so bad, we never going back for sure is a shame because the food is good but the service is disgusting!

Terrible service. Good food. Food took too long. The waiter who took my appetizer order never came back so I had ask a passing waiter to take my order for the main entree. No one ever bother to ask if we were okay and needed anything else. Only the tables that had 4 or more people were getting attention. I will never dine at this restaurant again..

We only heard about this eating establishment by word of mouth and always being curious to explore new places we decided to try it out. The restaurant is situated on the 1600 block of Orange Avenue in Long Beach - granted not the nicest neighborhood, yet we found it quite safe. There was only street parking, but it was no problem and also a few steps away is a large drug store with ample parking should the street parking be full.

2017-05-10 01:12:19

I just went there yesterday, because I want to try their empanadas, but theyre not that good, very different from the Argentinians one. Also I order fried Yucca, and was terrible, very dry, no taste whatsoever!! I did complaint and they change for the Plantains that was good.

Review №59

2017-07-29 17:42:01

When you live in a neighborhood that is full of culture, your service should reflect that you welcome them to come in and fill like family. That isnt the cast, they look at you like you dont belong and they were quick to paint over a monument that showed the neighborhood unity. The customers that come in isnt friendly and rude, for once I wish the owner rent to someone thats about love, unity and diversity

Came with my family to eat, we had great service, enpanadas were delicious the “aji” was different but still delicious. I had the Bandeja paisa and it was great, fresh tender meat. The beans with pork were on point the sausage and chicharon soooo good. Unfortunately my wife did to get the arepa so we shared and it’s okey this dish was so big we had lots of leftover anyways. The atmosphere, my Colombian music even my kid could not contain himself and started dancing. Love this place. Totally worth the Thirty minute drive.

Review №63

2019-07-02 16:51:19

The food was good, a little expensive compared to other Colombian restaurants, but worth it. The issue I took with it was the 15% service fee they automatically charge you without any form of prior notice, no signs, no verbal notification, nothing. They just slap it on your bill, and then still ask for a tip. Would not go back despite the good food.

Review №64

2020-11-19 04:38:14

I dont live nearby and Ive only been here for takeout, but let me tell you, it is worth the drive. Youre lucky if you live nearby! Started with bunuelos, plantains, the Bandeja Paisa, Bandeja Campesina, and the Jugo de Guanabana (sort of like a milkshake and made with fruit). The food is very filling with generous portions, well served. But most importantly is the taste. Im Colombian and it brought back great memories of when I was a little girl and when I travelled back there. Cant wait to go back to eat onsite with the family.

As a Colombian, who grew up in NY, I had the luxury of authentic Colombian food ( the Colombian community there is big) . Moving out to SD, I missed my authentic Colombian food, until I found this place . The food here is delicious and very authentic unlike the places I tried in SD. No Mexican chorizos in the bandeja paisa at this restaurant ! The soups are great, the beans are great, everything is well seasoned . Though the drive is a way out for me, it is totally worth it . Flavorful, and as real as Colombian food gets ! 🇨🇴 🤤❤️

Not worth it. You eat next to the dumpster with flies swarming the place. Service wasn’t great (not worth a tip at least) others were attended quicker probably because they were friends and the food took extremely long to get to us. (Appetizers don’t take 45 min to make!)

I am really not a person to leave reviews however this place deserves this one. All I can say if you are not a regular or a local, forget about getting a special treatment, dont even bother asking for management cause everyone that works there is the owner, so they say. Food is not that great and expensive, they call themselves Colombian restaurant and they dont even carry the local drink Aguardiente. The karaoke crew is the worst, again if you are not a regular forget trying to sing. They disrespected my father Inlaw and when I tried to complain to management no body wanted to hear what I had to say. I left it alone and just tried to have as much fun with my family as possible even though it had to be at that place.

As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by a lively atmosphere, a colorful interior and a sense of comfort. You can see little bits of Colombia everywhere you look.The service was excellent. They were fast and friendly.The food was really good. The empanadas tasted different from other Colombian restaurants that Ive been to, but it was by no means bad. I really enjoyed them. The plátano con queso was great! They were very generous with the cheese and that is a big plus for me. The bandeja paisa was just as good. I did notice that the beans also had a taste that I was not very familiar with. This one I did not like as much. The blackberry and lulo juices were amazing! The lulo was especially refreshing.I would have given this place 5 stars but I think it was a bit pricey. Especially in regards to the fruit juice.

Maurice Buitrago & Billy Gutierrez ate at El Paisa today and the food was excellent very high of the end price. But very large portions on the plates. Disappointed that no beef was available on the menu. We give it 3 stars out of 5

Relatively authentic Colombian food - some touches were missing (like the type of cheese used in the arepa de choclo) but overall relatively authentic. Standard prices for Colombian food in California. Great flavor.

Good place. Good food. Please improve your service. Also bummed they had no colombiana soda and colombian beer. Also were out of things on the menu. Overall good but could be better for what it costs. That being said, Id go back!☺

Best Colombian food is Los Angeles guaranteed. The music is nothing but Colombian music, the food tastes great specially empanadas. Melvin is really helpful & friendly, he treats customers with respect & makes sure you dont need anything else while eating.This place plays soccer games, specially the national team games, so every time you want to see Colombia play, this is the place, no extra charges or anything like that...

Nice hole in the wall Colombian restaurant carries an authentic old world charm. Food is good. The garlic shrimp is bomb. The pallea with Chicken and beef is bomb. MAKE sure you ask them to cook the meats less for more juicy flavor.

Who wouldnt enjoy remebering colombians taste while watching Colombias soccer team beat Argentina?The taste was good, you wont regret it if u are far from Colombian people/food. The price might be a bit high as its California. Good setup for watching Colombias soccer team. The service was bad due to the super crowded occasion.

When it comes to Colombian food, this is the best that I know of in LA. The neighborhood is a little sketchy but they have their own free parking and the food is always the bomb (that means good)! Make sure to get some empanadas, and a guanabana juice, yummy.

Good food but they over charge charged me $19 more for nothing. 3 platos paisa. And an order of empanadas. Is 53 taxes is 7.5. Percent. They charged me more than. 70.

Second time visiting this restaurant and I just love the food. Everything was cooked to perfection and with the right sazon Colombiano. The must try dishes here is anything Bandeja...Paisa, Tipica, y Campesina. They are all savory. And they make the best natural limeade. Owner, Luis Melvin, has been present both times and is very attentive and friendly to us and all guests dining in his establishment. Cant wait for the opening of his expansion where it will definitely heat up with live entertainment. If ever in Long Beach and want a taste of Colombia, you must stop here. Note: parking is difficult in the area but not impossible.

Wow...This place tastes like you are actually in Colombia.Absolutely delicious.Lengua - fantastic...Carne Asada - awesome... Best Ive had in a LONG time....Beans and rice, Perfect... Plátano not greasy, but just right.Coffee SO good... Hot chocolate...smooth and authentic.This place absolutely ROCKS!!!So good in fact that on a long weekend trip to Long Beach, we ate there EVERY DAY...I wish there was a place anywhere near this good in Northern California where we live. We would eat there ALL the time...

As a Colombia born and raised the food is ok, its overpriced, service needs big improvement, if feel none of the staff are Colombian and it feels weird, music its way to loud, I guess its a good try out place

Service is substandard--neither proactive, reactive, nor friendly, but food is generally pretty good. I dont appreciate that they bring the most random things out of order--something like coffee and eggs last, after your arepas and fries...very not cool. Also, I always have to bring my own coffee because I like more rich Juan Valdez style with milk, rather than Dennys bland style coffee with water (and the packets of creamer). The empanadas are quite empty and mostly potato from the 3 times I have gone here, but they are still pretty tasty. I like the sweet corn arepas, the aji sauces, and the environment (despite my feet always sticking to the carpet when I walk/sit). Oh, and another thing! If you are someone wants to have breakfast before 10am, like me, you will have to wait patiently ad un-hangrily until 10am when this place opens!
