El Paisa Restaurant

I went there today. Food is delicious. I had the Lengua a la Criolla. Service is prompt and friendly. Restaurant is clean. Lots of food to choose from. The only thing is the area where is located is a bit sketchy.Well I took my mom yesterday. We ordered the Sancocho de gallina. It tasted very good. Reminded me of my childhoodd.. only thing, the chicken was overcooked and chewy. Also, Colombian beer and soda are overpriced.

I just celebrated my birthday here with family and friends. Food was on point! Delicious. They went out of their way especially Andy & Mitzy. They gave me a special birthday hat to wear, put up a banner, recommend balones, didn't charge a plating fee for cake.It was so authentic and a 10 out of ten! They went out of there way to make sure my elderly mom was doing ok. She's usually very passive, but she asked to speak to the manager to compliment the service.

The food here was great. It was my first Colombian restaurant. The churrasco steak was good. I was able to share the food with my friend. It was a lot. On the menu there are no prices which is kind of weird. The service was outstanding. The ambiance was well decorated with paintings. The maduro appetizer was very yummy. I would recommend coming here. They have a small parking lot for customers too which is good.

After a long wait and I have been following this place , major fail. The owner is rude and sarcastic! The food was not worth it and would not recommend. I will not return or refer anyone to this place . The owner does not appreciate or value his guest . I would give 0 stars if I could .............

If you're in Long Beach and are in the mood for Colombian food, go no further than El Paisa! Ordered a PICADA! It had everything blood sausage, empanada, fried plantain, sweet plantain, fried yuca,potato, and a cheese Arepa! What kind of sauces did they have? I'm not sure, but they tasted very good. One was spicy one was not. It was in between breakfast and lunch, so we were the only ones there however, it looks like it could be a good nights spot as well!

I've been wanting to try this place for a while. My Columbia friend was in town so I decided to finally try the place out.The server was extremely rude. My Spanish isn't the best but I can get by pretty good. But he chose to ignore me the entire restaurant experience, only addressing my Columbian friend whose Spanish was better.Her food came out and it took an additional 30 minutes to have just one tamale come out for me. It wasn't until I went up to the counter, the one tamale finally came out.But to my disgust they served me this overcooked, extremely watery tamale. I took a bite and it tasted so disgusting, watery and bland. I immediately showed the server the picture of the tamale they have advertised on their menu, compared to what they served me. My Columbia friend even told the server that's not what it's supposed to taste or look like. As he continued to dismiss me and not talk to me, even tho it was my dish. I just told him I didn't want anything else to reorder. My friend finished half of her dish and reported some of the flavors are off. But we ended up walking down the street to the Salvi restaurant and got exceptional food and service. Would not recommend this place!To the servers surprise it must have been when he tried to give my friend the bill to pay and I took it as I was the one treating. Let's just say his tip reflected his service. ;)***ALSO, NO PRICES ON THEIR MENUS***

Se que está largo pero esta fue mi experiencia. Latención es la peor,los meseros solo se preocupan por ir a tirarle la comida a uno en la mesa,no te preguntan si quieres algo más o si necesitas alguna otra cosa,el mesero que nos atendió estaba más preocupado por hablar con el otro mesero que por escuchar lo que estábamos pidiendo,tanto así que pedimos una paella y después de media hora esperando nos llegó con una picada,tuvimos que pedirle que nos cambiara el plato ya que eso no fue lo que habíamos ordenado así que nos tocó esperar media hora más ‍,en cuanto a la comida,pedimos una paella y lo único que nos salió fue pollo,parecía más un arroz con pollo que una paella
