Nothing fancy, not a spot for your first date, but definitely one to try authentic Colombian cuisine! Service is excellent, quick, and friendly. Enjoy great Colombian music in the background. Food and service won't disappoint--give it a shot! read more

I'd rate El Paraiso four and a half stars. I had an arepa con todo. As expected, there is a lot going on. Shredded chicken. Pulled short rib. Heaping of cheese. Garlic mayo sauce. Sides of pineapple salsa and chipotle mayo. No shortage of flavor or variety. Service was quick. There was one restroom which was single occupancy. Very casual. Full bar. read more

I've ordered several times over the past 2 years! Each visit has been excellent every thing I ordered was correct and on point. I once ordered for a fundraiser there was about 10 different orders and everyone was pleased. The food tastes amazing, the sauces are sooo good. I recommend for sure. read more

I was starving and on the phone (car Bluetooth;-)) with a friend who was telling me about newer places in Holyoke. I happened to be around the corner! Freshly made Columbian food, why not give it a try. I perused the menu, there are some things like rellenos I have had before. Everything is freahly made including the milk drinks. I chose the days special. It came with rice, meat and plantains. It was good (I did takeout). The atmosphere is calming, intimate, and yet has a vibrant vibe. They have a full bar and on the weekends offer a late night menu and entertainment. They also are on various food delivery apps. But, I'd say to come in and experience the atmosphere. read more

Great new addition to downtown Holyoke. My wife is Colombian so as soon as we passes this spot we had to try. It's a small family run business and the service was great and it was very clean. The flavors are those of the Cali region and packed with flavor. Everything is cooked fresh and you can tell. Highly recommend trying to experience authentic Colombian cuisine. read more

We came across this spot after my husband brought home one of their potato balls from work. Let me tell you all - this papas rellenas (potato ball) was delicious and still fresh, and it was cold! All I could think of is how delicious it must be when it's freshly made. So we made our way to Holyoke to try a few more items from the menu. We had the potato balls of course, and they DID NOT disappoint. They have an option of two sauces, you should try both! We also tried the arepas con queso, the patacones con pollo and the pollo en salsa paraiso for an entree. We also tried the apple flavored soda and the passion fruit juice with milk. We were full and satisfied with every bite. I was so stuffed I couldn't even finish my appetizers! Lastly, I love that it's a family business. Our waitress Jessica was very sweet and patient with going through the menu out. The music was good, smiles all around the place, and an atmosphere that is just welcoming. We will definitely become regulars here. read more

Food was absolutely amazing and plentiful, service was on point and checked up regularly. Vibes in the restaurant were great too, a few other customers, good music and decorations. Will definitely return. read more

love this place, Food, service and cleanliness is top tier. The empanadas are the best

We had the Friday special (Mini Bandeja Paisa) 3/5, the spaghetti pasta with shrimp 3/5 and chicken empanadas 2/5. The shrimp itself was very good but the pasta not so much. The Mini Bandeja Paisa was new for me so I wanted to try it. I don't think it's something I should try again. Friendly service and warm, simple ambience. read more

Very nice people. I didn't get the right drink and my meal was not what I ordered and it came out after everyone else was finished. I Guess it was a busy night. Everyone else seemed to enjoy what they ordered. read more

I love this new Columbia Restaurant. I always get my favorite Bandeja Paisa. A delightful mixture of different foods... But don't forget to request , " Aji" an absolutely extraordinary delicious condiment- that adds what we call in Spanish, " sabor" or flavor to the Bandeja Paisa. The top it off with the signature natural juice drink. You will be enjoying authentic Colombian food . A very attentive server. And for a few hours I felt like I was in Colombia. Enjoy . I hope you will enjoy this restaurant as much as I do . read more

Finally a good Colombian food place! Everything was delicious! Can't wait to order again!!!

Very good, real Colombian food. Bandeja Paisa is very good.

A small, clean hole-in-the-wall type of place with delicious food. We had the Bistec Creole and the fried whole tilapia. The steak was really good and the fish would have been amazing if they pulled it out of the frier a minute earlier. The empanada was an appetizer. Both meals came with rice and a small salad. The fish came with beans and a tostada. I went for the sweet plantains with the steak. Very homey. A wonderfully sweet waitress. Two Latin families and another Anglo couple were there while we were. Cool music. Not the fanciest place in town but it's where we'll good next time we want some Latin food. read more
