Los Paisas - Bandeja típica colombiana - Colombian Near Me - Pineville, North Carolina

Great customer service and the food is authentic and yummy. Came in at lunch and sat at the bar. The lunch specials caught my eye and we all picked the crispy chicken, roasted plantains, salad and rice special which came with a giant bowl of lentil soup. We opted for some empanadas as an appetizer and they came with the yummiest salsa verde. Great authentic spot with some of the nicest staff in the city!!! read more

Sat at the table for about 10-15 minutes on a slow day. No waiter or waitress came to even ask for drinks. They would just walk by and stare and not come up. read more

Again I forgot the pictures... The empanadas are delicious! They are small for appetizers and very tasty. We ordered for delivery. We got the topical plates.. la bandeja and Picada. Generous portions, as these plates usually are. This was the first time we ate their food. It was tasty, but we came from NY and there just too much too compare. We've had better. They forgot our avocado... not good, but it happens... they didn't do anything about it when we called... I would not order for delivery again. But maybe I'd go check them out in person, if they are accepting safety dine in. Most likely I will go try other Colombian restaurants before I come back to try the second time. read more

Best Colombian restaurant around! Large portions and reasonable pricing. Always clean with great atmosphere. I would highly recommend!

This place never disappoints. The food is AMAZING! The portion sizes are generous and the prices are so affordable - what a hidden gem in Charlotte! I could drink gallons of their mango juice as well. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. GO! read more

A group of us want to try out this Colombian restaurant and we were impressed! I order the Bandeja tipica Colombiana dish! The crispy pork was a bit chewy but I like chewy stuff. Overall the dish were good beside the sausage. The sausage tasted very bland. The amount of food for that price, well worth it. read more

My meal today was good I had Bandeja Tipica Columbiana Today is my 4th time still the same very tasty, clean and neat and fast serving. I would love to recommend this restaurant to my friends Colombian foodies. Overall price reasonable and tasty. Money worth it. read more

Best Colombian food in town, excellent lunch menu, great service, have been there at least 10 times, not one single time disappointing

So I bought tamales for thanksgiving, they are 10$ a piece. I was expecting a better presentation and a better flavor. Not talking about what's inside of it. Its 1% chicken and not even 10 peas, the rest is just dough. Not even come with pork as a traditional tamal. Very disappointed with it. It is a good place to eat but not for special event orders. read more

They were able to accommodate a party of 15 with little notice. Service was great and the team of wait staff were very pleasant and accommodating. The space itself seemed well maintained and clean. I got the shrimp in garlic sauce with the white rice and tostones. The tostones were not as fresh as I would have liked, and were maybe fried earlier in the day. The garlic sauce was very tasty. The beef empanadas paired with the green vinegar sofrito type sauce it came with was amazing! I think that was my favorite. My husband got the fried breaded steak and very much enjoyed it. He ate every bite. The chicharron was also very good. The margarita wasn't great as a true margarita. It tasted like orange juice but as a drink it was delicious and came in a giant margarita fish bowl type cup! It didn't seem that alcoholic beverages was their focus and it was more about the food, which I can dig. My girlfriend got the papaya juice and it was yummy and came in a large tall glass. It looked fresh. The price was great. I think the bill was about 300 for 15 people and we all got meals and a few appetizers, and that included the tip. Lastly, music was on point! I was impressed by the music selection, there was some classic bachata and salsa mixed in with 90s R&B and hip hop. All in all I would return and try other dishes. read more

The food wasn't as good as it used to be. Perhaps it was just that day. The beans didn't have the same taste. The service was great. The ambiance was nice. I sat outside since eating inside will leave the aromas of the food on your clothes. read more

OMgoodnes! This place is legit! After a long and tiring weekend of events and an awesome day at church, hubby and I decide to grab a bite to eat. I told him I needed to go somewhere with flavor and seasoning and he brought me to Los Paisas. He'd gone with a friend and said it was good food. When we got there the place was packed with what looked like mostly Colombians, (forgive me if I'm wrong) and to me that's always a good sign. If the people who know the food are eating it, score! The wait was about 15-20 minutes and then we were seated. We got waters, two complimentary empanadas with a green sauce that was absolutely delectable, hubby got the steak encebelloda (sp?) and I got the Colombiana plate! The chicharron was my favorite but everything on the plate was delightful! Rice, beans, plantain, steak, sausage, egg, tortilla, the sauce! Yum! Yum! Yum! We saw another table order a refreshing mango drink and we got one too. It was very nice but just not cold enough so we brought it home along with our leftovers. And the service was prompt and polite. Not super friendly but in no way rude. Just more on the efficient side with no personal engagement from the waitstaff. If they add that in, it'll be even better. And the total cost of our meal with tax and before tipping was $34 and change. For the portions and the goodness, it's a great price! See my pics! Go. Eat. Drink. Enjoy. That is all! read more

The food was so so good! I am glad we decided to try it. Good value for the price. I will definitely be back.

Really good food, really affordable prices juice tastes good, great value for the price. I had the Bandeja tipica Colombiana. read more

Great food authentic taste service was good and seated quick the coconut lemonade was delicious

Los Paisas might not look like much from the outside since it is in a strip mall but wow it's super good! The restaurant isn't super big so I bet during busy times there is a wait but when I was here for dinner we were able to sit right away. The service was fast and friendly. They do have a bar but I wasn't in the mood to drink but I think next time I come here I will try some of their cocktails. I ordered the Pechuga al limon alcaparrada and it was really nice. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was perfect. The rice and plantains were also good. The portion was large and I feel like I absolutely got my monies worth. I will be back!! read more

Delicious food and great service I recommend that you order the bandeja paisa and the empanadas.

The absolute best and always consistent! This is our family go to for casual, friendly and delicious Columbian food.

The food was excellent, and I got two meals out of it because it was a lot! Also, the staff were really nice.

Delicious food and drinks We had 3 plates; mushroom chicken, garlic shrimp and a variety plate with sausage and pork skin. Food was amazing! The shrimp however was a bit too salty. The pork skin was nice and crunchy and the chicken was juicy. Part of the combo plate was beans but the presentation was not appealing; the beans were watery which made some of the water spill over on the side of the plate and on some of the meat. We also had coffee which was nice a rich dark roast. Our waiter was great at making suggestions and we tried pretty much everything he suggested lol We had 2 margaritas which were awesome, not too sweet, just like I like it! Will definitely try this spot again! read more

Los Paisas - Soooo good this is the bandeja paisa it's sooo good for appetizer you must order the empanadas - Colombian Near Me - Pineville, North Carolina

Los Paisas serves authentic Colombian cuisine. They have a great menu, but there is room for improvement in the kitchen. The space is not huge but very nicely decorated. This could be a good place for lunch with family/friends or coworkers - also appropriate for a date. There are tons of options on the menu, even for vegetarians/pescatarians. The drinks/smoothies/juices are delicious. Also, pretty much everything on the appetizer list is really good. However, I was a little bit underwhelmed with the entrees. I tried the trout in lemon/mushroom sauce. It was just OK. The chicken was also, just OK. Nothing to write home about. The service was surprisingly good, our waiter was great. Prices are also not bad, for the amount of food you get. Los Paisas is a good option to try some Colombian cuisine, but they just need a little bit of help in the kitchen - to really blow it out the park. Nevertheless, que viva Colombia :) read more

Great authentic Colombian restaurant in the pineville area! I love to start off with empanadas for appetizers and also a mamey milkshake. Incredibly delicious! I had the bandeja paisa which is great. I was disappointed when they informed me that the churrasco was no longer in their menu. It was one of my favorite dishes to get. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys authentic Colombian food. This place is great for family gatherings although space is limited. read more

My wife is from Brazil and there are not any home cooking style Brazilian restaurants in Charlotte or surrounding, so we tend to eat a lot of food from Central to South America instead. We have been to some really good ones, but Los Paisas is the bar. We have been to 4 Columbian restaurants specifically and none of them really compare. The flavor, the value, the service, it's all there. I always get the Bandeja Tipica Columbiana. It has the best bang for the buck for me. It's so much food, I always have enough for another meal later. It comes with grilled beef, beans, sausage (which is the best I've had), pork crackling, rice, egg, plantains (which I swap for Yuca), avocado and white corn tortilla. Even just saying all of that is a mouth full. The first thing we do when we are seated is order some beef empanadas. You'd think that if you've had empanadas before then you already know what to expect, but that's far from the truth. I've had my fair share of empanadas in my life and I can't even compare them, as they are in a league of their own. Bring your appetite, bring your wallet and bring a blanket (for the nap after, since you'll be in a food coma). read more

Let's start by saying that 6ft and wearing a mask is not required... I read the reviews and I went to try for the first time, I'm not sure if it was only a bad day but the food is just average, the steak was dry and the chicken still pink inside almost raw. The server went to our table only 2 times to check on us. The restaurant looks clean but the hostess didn't as the clients to wear a mask, I asked her if they were reinforcing the rules and she said yes and I pointed to 10 people inside without mask walking around the restaurant. I think they can do a better job asking the clients to be respectful specially considering that it is a small restaurant with less than 6ft between tables. read more

Very good. Will come back. More options to try on menu. Sweet plantains so good don't need a yogurt sauce like other places. Chicken breast not too thin. Great amount of meat on both plates. Lots of yellow rice. Service was fantastic. But of a language barrier but worked out great. read more

We came here for dinner on a week night and didn't have a wait for a table at all. The superstar of this visit, hands down was the food. I'm pretty picky about my Spanish food and so is my family - the food surpassed our expectations! This food seriously tasted like my momma made it. I ordered the white rice, beans, and chicken breast with mushrooms and maduros (sweet plantains). It was absolutely delicious. The while rice was fluffy and went so well with juicy chicken breast and mushrooms sauce. Portions were very plentiful and I had enough for leftovers the next day. Even my little nephew cleaned his plate! Looking forward to our next meal here. Also, be sure to try their lunch specials! Service was decent, not great but nothing terrible either. read more

I can't wait to return to this place! Here's why 1. Friendly quick service, but not too quick were you feel rushed. I was greeted promptly and seated quickly. I drank about 4 glasses of water and I never had to ask once for a re-fill. My food (app, soup, main dish) were all delivered in a timely spaced out manner. 2. Smaller but spacious restaurant dining side and bar side. Soft music and a soccer game was on. 3. Priced reasonably for the amount of food you get. ($1 empanadas) 4. Delicious Colombian food! Homemade green sauce (aji sauce?) was given was soon as we ordered our food. And I think I used about half of the bottle. It was so good! The beef empanadas were large and so good topped with the green sauce. My boyfriend asked how many I wanted and I said one, so he ordered three (we share everything) and we ended up getting four, so....I ate two. I just couldn't stop! 5. Large portions: I ordered the daily special pork, rice, salad, and soup. My homemade chicken soup came in a large bowl and it was so fresh! The pork was grilled and seasoned. I love the rice, again topped with the green sauce! The salad was okay, it was tossed in dressing and seemed to be a pre-mixed blend. I will return and tell my friends to come for some authentic Columbian food! read more

Small but really nice place. A friend recommended and had to try it out. Music was good, atmosphere was fun. Food was good, fresh fruit drinks were amazing. Definitely will be coming back. Only reason for a 4* is because waiter only checked up on us twice, and seemed to have forgotten about us, until i requested a different waiter to call her over. Also my plate was stacked with food, but i ordered the wrong thing so didn't enjoy it as much, but it was still good. Other than that, everything else was amazing. read more

Bustling atmosphere for 2:30pm on a Saturday afternoon. Great sign. Friendly service, excellent food!

I have now been here twice and can confidently agree that this is fantastic Colombian food. The staff is friendly and they give you this tasty slightly spiced green sauce when you sit down. It's for empanadas, so you have to get one. (heck they're $1!!) we got that amazing combination dish you see pics of all over here, and yes it's just like that. Each part is so fresh authentic and tasty. I got the Bistec encebollado and I will definitely get it again. Picture beautiful marinated flank steak topped with tomatoes, onions, peppers and in a yummy tomato sauce that goes fantastic with the rice. Topped with a fried egg that only compliments it. It also comes with fried plantains as a great bonus. Yes, will come back and bring friends!! read more
