Es una situación de Amor/Odio para este restaurante. La comida es buena, pocas veces he tenido problemas con eso (voy muy a menudo a este lugar). El problema es el servicio, la atención al cliente es muy mala, de los peores restaurantes en servicio al cliente que he conocido. Las veces que he podido ver que los dueños se encuentran en el restaurante es muy distinto, todos mágicamente mejoran su manera de atender a los clientes. read more

Overpriced for reheated food with no seasoning. Disappointed. Ordered a bandeja paisa, there were no beans. Chorizos were reheated and old, maybe from yesterday. My picada had cold chicken and lacked the basic, salt. read more

I ordered the Bandejita, pan de abono, and limonada con hierbas. La Bandejita was a good sized portion. Came with two pieces of plantains, chicharrón, over medium egg, avocado, sausage, rice, red beans, una arepa and steak. The presentation was in a iron skillet which I liked because the rice had a crunchy bottom. El pan de abono was disappointing. It was dry in the middle, instead of that chewy cheesy taste we grew to love. The chicharrón was almost there. It was cooked perfectly but needed some seasoning. The sausage was a bit dry as well. Nothing to highlight about it. Doesn't beat the sausage from El Paisa BBQ down the street. The steak was a thick sized cut, with a chimi sauce on top of it. It was also dry and wish they would have cooked it medium rare instead of well done. The egg was cooked to perfection. The highlights for me was the limonada con hierbas, the egg, rice and beans. read more

Food was average , really liked the music. Servers are just like zombies. Carisma is something you can't teach

The best Colombian spot on the southwest side of Houston. Food is delicious, juices are fresh, great prices, good service, good music. My favorite is the Mango Juice with water & the Beef Empanadas. You can also order through Door dash, Uber eats and Grub Hub. read more

Si pudiera poner 0 estrella lo haría, normalmente nunca pongo reviews de nada pero esto si fue la tapa. Como es posible que estén cobrando por ponerle limón al agua? Hoy para acompañar la comida pedí dos vasos de agua y normalmente preguntan que si le ponen limón o hielo (en todos los lugares de Houston el limón es complementario) y pues dije que si, cuando pague la comida veo que me cobran una limonada sin azúcar que cuesta 4.50 quien cobra el agua ? Para eso uno pide otra bebida, la mesera también estuvo mal porque tampoco nunca dijo nada ni que el limón era adicional lo cual suena ridículo, cuando reclame al final por estar pagando 9 dólares por agua, tampoco me dieron una respuesta, no volveré a este lugar NUNCA MÁS me parece que se quieren aprovechar de la gente con eso precios y esas políticas, encima el servicio estuvo muy regular. read more

Best Colombian food in Houston. Literally has every Colombian restaurant beat.!! 1. For starters the food is authentic! The empanandas are made with shredded meat instead of ground beef. The meat is tender and... TBH, this place will have you recalling grandma's home cooked meals. 2. The menu is literally a look-book, all items have pictures!!! 3. Service- off the charts. EVERYONE makes you feel welcomed and there is a sense of belonging. Angie is radiant and her positivity is contagious. read more

This is a casual dining place. It is also, a good place to try if you haven't tried Colombian food. I have been to both of their locations and service is consistent. If you don't speak Spanish, the establishment will pair you with a server that can speak English. Their menu also, has pictures. I like their pescado a la parilla con camarones (grilled fish with shrimps/sauce). I learned about this dish from a friend who has been to this place and liked this dish as well. I have been to Paisa's 2 locations and they have been consistent with the service as described and the grilled fish with shrimps dish. I also, like their cafe (no after taste of bitterness with the coffee) and arroz con leche (rice pudding). On my last visit, the side of arepas that comes with my fav dish (see picture) was a little too toasty to my liking which was no big deal since I enjoyed and ate the fish and shrimps! My husband on the other hand ordered frito pescado (fried fish) which according to him was okay and he took some of my shrimps and sauce. Overall I would recommend this place especially if you are new to Colombian cuisine. read more

Second time here and I am pleased. The first time I came I had a hotdog. Second time here I got a Bandejita. Reminds me of home. Although I'm not Colombian my family is from El Salvador so a lot of the flavors and foods are super similar. Platanos Fritos, frijoles, chorizo, and fried eggs. Soo good. The menu is pretty big so there are lots of items to choose from. The Pork belly is delicious and probably my most favorite dish. Service is good. It's what I would expect from a spot like this. It's pretty laid back and clean. They were playing great salsa music. They also have a full bar and the happy hour is pretty awesome. I brought my partner for the first time and he enjoyed it. We will certainly come back again. Thanks for the awesome food! read more

I really hate to give a bad rating to a local establishment but this is by far the worst Colombian restaurant in Houston. The food is completely flavorless and rather gross. I order a Bandeja paisa and my egg might as well been hard boiled. My steak tasted like boiled meat, the rice and beans were so bland, my chorizo burned beyond recognition. It was literally split open and burnt making it completely inedible. This isn't the first bad experience here and it will now be the last. Completely disappointed. read more

Paisa's Twin - Richmond - Chorizo burned beyond recognition. Why would you attempt to serve this to someone? - Colombian Near Me - Houston, Texas

The empanadas are very good and so are the juices but the two dishes we requested both were very very bad. The beef a caballo and another beef with the sauce turned out to be chewy almost impossible to eat and absolutely no flavor at all. We are on the lookout for good places around to visit often and I will probably come back here to try the sandwiches I heard is good but for sure the kitchen needs training on flavor and cooking. I love Latin food but this was one of the worse foods I've tried in Houston. I told the waitress about it. The food looks good but no quality. 100% on the empanadas great! read more

Great authentic Colombian meals! We ordered the freshly squeezed mango and orange juices. We are surprised that they do not use any type of juice but the fruit itself! I am truly in love with it! I ordered a typical plate with sausage and corn patty. I also ordered a plate that I had the fried platano with sauced shrimp. The outside can be deceiving as the inside is very modern than the exterior look. We did not expect this. Very nice place! read more

We came on a Sunday. Got seated right away. Restaurant was clean. Because we came late in the afternoon they only had 1 pan de bono but it was pretty good. We ordered their empanadas which were also good. I liked the green sauce, the red sauce tasted like fry sauce to me, ketchup with mayo. The Madura conqueso was hit and miss each piece. Some weren't quite ripe yet and some were good. The arepitas con queso tasted like they made the arepa early in the morning. The tasted stale and hard. But what bothered me most was the server. Fernanda. Either it was the end of her shift or she's been in the service industry too long. When we asked for silverware she looked at us as if we were completely putting her out. And when we asked for the check she even sent someone else to give us our check. It was not a language barrier because my husband was communicating with her in Spanish. Not a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. read more

Ok if you follow me you know I'm a foodie I'm picky AF I've got bougie taste buds My employee asked me to meet her here and k tasted her empanada (that sounds so bad in my head) so she told me to bring my hubby Well I didnt want to cook tonight and we live exactly 1 block or a 1 minute 1/2 walk from here! THIS PLACE is so UNDERRATED!!!! Wow I am even more impressed now than I was when I first came in I had the hígado encebollado I havent Gad this dish in a year and the last time I had it was in Mexico and this hígado was flavorful, soft, cooked amazingly and oh so good! The plate servings are huge here so come hungry! Also you should come starving cuz you'll need to eat empanadas as your appetizer My husband had a plate with grilled chicken and beef no clue what it's called at the moment but that's some amazing grilled meat!! Even the bland looking salad was absolutely fresh and savory! They must have doused it with some manic mojo! The staff is friendly and the place resembles a family style sorts bar but it's worth it! I cant believe I lived literally next to this gem for so long I've passed by it and snobbed it so much!!! I'm sorry paisa twin this little mexicanita is a Paisa now! read more

Really bad service, also the meat doesn't even have salt or any flavor at all only the sausage and the pork and so are the beans. Also the waitress underestimated me because of they way I was dressed and when she gave me my change I gave all my change as a tip but before giving her the tip she didn't say thanks for visiting or something, but when after I tipped her she was like thanks for coming have a great day. I used to be I hostess and no Matter what you have to be nice to the costumers and not be rude. They didn't hang me my order I had to take it and there was this lady there talking to them just gossiping and they did not pay attention to me. I'm never going back there. Me and my coworkers loved that place. read more

Great food and customer service. Their lunch special was delicious. Chicken stew with rice and salad, a veggie soup on the side. Loved it!

Salty as hell! Everything was salty even the rice. I also asked for that green salsa and the other sauce, I never got it. This place is getting worse. read more

The food is good, but I'm not sure if they clean their dishes after every use. Also the employees are somewhat lazy and just stand around the restaurant. read more

Paisa Twins has a clean, modern vive and lively ambience. This is my second visit in 2 weeks and I absolutely love it. The Colombian menu is enhanced by adding lots of Colombian street food like Colombian hamburgers, hot dogs, and arepas. The beef soup is awesome, the cheese sticks are tasty, the kids baby bandeja is excellent. Customer service is also great, our favorite waitress being Daniela. read more

The Bandeja Paisa was extremely bad, the food wasn't cooked properly and the meat was half way cooked which is pretty dangerous.

Such a a good place. I love Colombian food but hate going to the stuffy places around Houston. This place is inviting, clean, and modern. It brings the fun vibrant Colombian food and ambiance with a relaxed atmosphere. The good is so good and the price is amazing. Food tastes almost like if my Mom and Grandma had made it. Took my husband to try a little bit of everything and we ordered Arepa con queso, 2 bandeja paisas, jugo de maracuya, aguacate con camarones, and empanadas and the price was less than $40. We had enough leftovers for dinner too. The waitress and menu were very helpful especially when trying to translate things to my American husband. I tried describing things to my Husband for almost 3 minutes when I realized he and the waitress were enjoying a nice polite giggle and he pointed out the menu described it way better than I did. We will definitely be back. Love it!! read more

the customer service was really bad although the food is good but the customer service bad.

My husband and I are always trying to find somewhere new to go eat, we found this place that we both have not seen before. It was early so they just opened for the day so luckily we had no wait at all. The place right away was very nice, super clean, they had Columbian music going, sports and news on tvs. Our waitress was very sweet and was explaining some dishes to us. The time we waited for our food was also so short! The food was soooo delicious! We would definitely be coming back again to try some entrees for lunch since we had their breakfast today! read more

Food is great. Prices are great. The service has been pleasant every time I've gone. Also, every time I go, it's nice and quiet.

Born and raised in Colombia, I feel like I am at home when I come to this place. Everything tastes so homemade and delicious. I'm so happy I found this spot. I have tried pretty much all the Colombian restaurants in the area and this spot is the only thing close to my grandma's cooking. The beans, the empanadas, even the juices are delicious and natural. The atmosphere is great, with excellent music and friendly servers. Every time I crave some good Colombian cooking, I can count on this place to leave me happy. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

excellent pick up service, the waitress Diane helped me to my car, highly recommended.

We were a party of 6. We were the only table at the moment. Empanadas were on point as usual. I mostly go to the hwy 6 one but I've been to this one once before just for empanadas. Well we got the empanadas and the 3 of us ordered the bandejita paisa. Portions are huge except for the steak it was maybe 3oz. I could tell the food had been sitting in a warmer as it was warm & shortly after the food got cold. Someone else at my table got some grilled pork platter & it was gross, it wasn't cooked all the way and awful flavor. They are good at empanadas and burgers but the rest? Nope!!! Unfortunately it also got us sick next time I'll just go to Mi Pueblito across the street read more
