    Bandeja Paisa
    Anna T.

    Great for a late-night meal, snack, or drink! The Pandeja Paisa is enough to share for two people. It contains a grilled steak, pork belly, pork sausage, black sausage, fried egg, rice salad, fried ripe plantain, rice, red beans, avocado, and corn patty. I thought it was so-so since the meat did not have a lot of flavor to me, but I've been told this is one of the best in Southwest Houston. We also ordered the Salchipapas as an appetizer which had sausage (hot dogs) with french fries, ketchup, mayo, but next time I would like to order the Poderoso which has pork sausage, sausage, and pork belly in it. The restaurant was clean, nicely decorated, and service was attentive the night I dined in. There is also a bar to enjoy a little night cap!

    They set up my mom's table for her birthday all nice Jesus attended us very good! He is so attentive and nice! THE FOOD WAS 10/10 INLOVE

    I love it here!!! They set up my mom's table for her birthday all nice! All I had to do was drop off the decorations!! Jesus attended us very good! He is so attentive and nice! Definitely will be back! THE FOOD WAS 10/10 INLOVE

    Bandejita Paisa and Sancocho
    Jessica C.

    Most disappointing food I've had. The only reason they get two stars is because their empanadas were, by far, the best I've had. I ordered a Bandejita Paisa, Sancocho de Gallina, and empanadas. If I could sum it up for you in two words, it'd be NO FLAVOR (except for the empanadas). To start, Colombian places I go to usually give you plenty of ají sauce. This place literally gave me ONE sample size for two whole ass meals. I've had fried white rice but this rice was very undercooked. The beef was overcooked and extremely tough to chew on. The beans look like soup.. And I can't stress enough how much all this stuff lacked flavor. Plantains are advertised as "sweet plantains" but they are very dry.. also lacked flavor. The sancocho straight tasted like caldo de pollo.. and they seem to be pretty greedy with the add-ins (corn, potato, etc.). Thought I'd give this place a try to support another small business during the COVID lockdown but I should've just gone back to Colombian cuisine across the street. Big TIP: It's cheaper if you order by phone than deliver from GrubHu

    We ordered a chuzo de pollo and bandejita paisa. The chicken in the first dish was still raw on the inside and pink. Inedible. And the egg on the bandejita paisa had a chunk of egg shell in it. Other than the unacceptable food quality, it was still bland and plain. We aren't coming back to this place again.

    Excellent service & food very clean, nice clean,cold air, nicely decorated, make the customer feel very comfortable.

    Empanadas and Pandebonos to start! So good
    Jenny T.

    Delicious food!! So authentic. I love coming here and ordering the empanadas with delicious salsa. The bandejita is loaded and fills me for another meal to go. So good! Highly recommend. Big servings and the price is reasonable

    Delicious coconut flan with a milo chocolate milk.

    I've also passed by Paisa Twins but never really paid much attention to it. The shopping center it is located in looks pretty empty. However, the only place that is popping is Paisa Twins. The place has an awesome vibe inside. There is Latin music playing and the general look is neat. On the day I went, I really was only craving some dessert, specifically some Flan. It was around 10pm, and it can be hard to find places open. However, Paisa Twins is open late and was there to the rescue. I ordered there coconut flan and a milo chocolate milk. Oh boy! It hit the spot indeed. Service was on point as well. Definitely will go back to try some of their savory stuff.

    We used to live in Medellin. This is the best Colombian food we've had in Texas. Was a wonderful experience.

It fills the space in the best way possible and immediately pulls you in for the full experience. One thing that really stood out to me was the customer service. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which, unfortunately, hasn't always been my experience at other Colombian restaurants. Many places I've visited primarily speak Spanish, which can sometimes make ordering a challenge. Here, I felt completely at ease and well taken care of. We started with the beef empanadas, and I highly recommend them. The crust was perfectly crispy, while the filling was soft, flavorful, and comforting. Paired with their salsa, which had just the right kick of spice, it was an excellent combination that made for a strong start to the meal. I ordered my go-to favorite, the Bandejita. The presentation was beautiful and appetizing, but sadly, the bold flavors I'm used to just weren't quite there for me. The flat steak tasted under-seasoned, and I actually found myself adding salt, which I've never had to do before at other restaurants. The pork sausage also seemed a bit dry inside, but my husband said that's how it should be, so perhaps that was just my preference. The beans had a different flavor than what I'm accustomed to as well, not bad by any means, just noticeably different. On a positive note, the pork belly was perfectly crispy, exactly how it should be, and the plantains were sweet and cooked to perfection. Overall, the menu looks incredibly tempting, and there are still plenty of dishes I'd love to come back and try. While I may skip the Bandejita next time, I definitely plan on returning to explore more of what they have to offer.
