Do NOT come here if you are HUNGRY...you have to wait a very long time to get your food. Even the smallest plate. Food is decent but NOT WORTH the wait read more

In the restaurant business the referrals very important. I had brought a friend of mine to have an experience with this restaurant, but we were completely disappointed with the service. We waited 20 minutes for the waitress, but she attended it to other folks first, that came in 20 minutes later after we came in. We finally had to leave since we could not wait any longer. What a disappointing experience, especially after me bringing other friends over. It was a bad experience on a Tuesday afternoon. Thank you. read more

I was denied service due to my Service Dog. I had proof and my dog was vested properly. The waitress was rude and did not care to accommodate us. read more

I was so happy to discover there is a Colombian spot in the Buford area, since moving here, we weren't able to find anything close and we kept traveling to Doraville whenever we craved it. As much as I wanted to love this place, we left very disappointed. First, this is a small restaurant, so it can get very crowded. There were only two servers, which with everything going on is understandable, but plan accordingly and don't come here if you're on a rush. You'll end up being late like I was. Main reason why my family and I go to Colombian restaurants is for Bandeja Paisas. This is a traditional dish of Colombia served with grilled steak, rice, beans, pork rinds, sausage, egg, plantains, arepa and avocado. Pimentón did not disappoint in that aspect. Their Bandeja Paisa had all the ingredients we love and expect the dish to have. But the main issue was the inconsistency. I'll explain... My party of 5 ordered 5 bandeja paisas. You'll expect all 5 dishes to come out the same way... right? Well that wasn't the case. Some plates were missing plantains, some others were missing the arepas, some others got everything, but then some ingredients were not cooked properly. My dad's plate even got sent back because it has a bug in it. A BUG. In my opinion, the food was good but not worth all the inconveniences nor the price. Forgot to mention their prices are pretty steep compared to other Colombian establishments, which I wouldn't have minded if the service/food was better. In conclusion, my family and I won't be returning. Even though it is closer from home, we'd rather drive for some food Colombian food. ESPAÑOL Me puse súper feliz al descubrir que hay un lugar colombiano en el área de Buford, ya que al mudarnos aquí, no pudimos encontrar nada cerca y seguimos viajando a Doraville cada vez que queríamos comer eso. Por mucho que quisimos que nos gustara este lugar, nos fuimos muy decepcionados. Primero, este es un restaurante pequeño, por lo que puede estar muy lleno. Solo había dos meseras, lo que con todo lo que está sucediendo es comprensible, pero planifique en consecuencia y no venga aquí si tiene prisa. Terminarás llegando tarde como yo. La razón principal por la que mi familia y yo vamos a los restaurantes colombianos es por Bandeja Paisas. Este es un platillo tradicional de Colombia que se sirve con bistec a la parrilla, arroz, frijoles, chicharrones, chorizo, huevo, plátanos, arepa y aguacate. Pimentón no nos defraudó en ese aspecto. Su Bandeja Paisa tenía todos los ingredientes que amamos y esperamos que tenga el plato. Pero el problema principal fue la inconsistencia. Me explico... Mi grupo de 5 pidió 5 bandeja paisas. Esperarás que los 5 platos salgan de la misma manera ... ¿verdad? Bueno, ese no fue el caso. A algunos platos les faltaban los plátanos, a otros les faltaban las arepas, a otros no les faltaba nada, pero algunos ingredientes no estaban bien cocidos. El plato de mi papá incluso fue devuelto porque tenía un insecto. UN INSECTO. En el plato... En mi opinión, la comida era buena pero no vale la pena ni los inconvenientes ni el precio. Olvidé mencionar que sus precios son bastante elevados en comparación con otros establecimientos colombianos, lo que no me hubiera importado si el servicio / comida fuera mejor. En conclusión, mi familia y yo no volveremos. Aunque está más cerca de casa, preferimos ir más lejos por mejor comida colombiana. read more

I a went yesterday for first time to this restaurant. I went to watch the game between Colombia and Argentina. I enjoyed the food and service, but it was frustrating the price I was charged did not match what I expected. When I spoke to the manager she just said that they changed the prices but they did not update it on their menu. So, I suggest to ask for the price first. Empanadas: price on the menu $1.75 and they charged $2.07, Plantain with cheese: price on the menu $6.99 and they charged $8.27. It's very disappointing when you want to have a good time with family and friends but the restaurant take advantage of customers. read more

The food is so good. Yum yum eat it up, especially the mango juice (in milk is the best). Service is always nice, and we are treated kindly every time. Never any mistakes with the order. read more

Such a disgusting place. They have failed the health inspection three times in a row yet they are still somehow in business. Some violations include a "pink substance" found in the ice machine. Food being left out uncovered and not cooled to proper temperature. Multiple meat items not date marked Repeated violation of not not fixing a gap in a door which could allow insects and other pests to enter the restuarant. Just reading all the violations makes me sick to my stomach. Does the management even care about cleanliness, food safety, or their customers? It's mind boggling the health department allowed them to reopen despite the repeated health inspection failures. They clearly aren't going to change. What will it take to shut these people down for good; an unfortunate food borne related death? read more

Good food and good prices and the service is fast, I recommended it, I'll be going back for sure

So the service was amazing for us. We were a party of 20. They were so attentive and sweet. We're got empanadas which are good. Had a little too much potatoes than meat but still good. The ahi was yummy. We also ordered jugo de Mora with milk and oh so yummy and big. Got the bandeja paisa which was good but a bit bland sadly. Needed some more flavor. Ordered pandeonos and bunuelos which were amazing!!!! read more

Go here all the time Great spirits, review's didnt apply the food was absolutely great and great costumer service.

I didn't complain about a single thing at this restaurant. The service was impeccable. The food was outstanding. Everything was cooked perfectly, and nothing had a weird taste. I seriously recommend getting the bendeja paisa! It's huge with a lot of different things. Everything tasted so good that I could pick out a favorite! Do yourself a favor and come to this restaurant! If only I could attach the smell of the food to this review! YUM! read more

This place is great! It's wholesome and family owned, my kids love going and getting the 'chicken mini' and empanadas. I'm never disappointed. +I highly recommend the "bandeja paisa" for adults. read more

I was greeted at the door with a welcome smile and handshake--nice touch. Because of the tile and space, it can be noisy. But it is clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Appealing menu. Today I just ordered the chicken on a stick & a side of rice & beans. I didn't have time to sit and eat a full meal. Since the skewers were listed under "fast food," it's disappointing how long they took to get to me. Also I paid $2.00 for a teeny bowl of beans and $2.00 for a teeny dish of rice. Since both items are ridiculously inexpensive to make, I would think they'd pass that savings on to the customer. The skewers themselves were priced well. They were a bit dry for my taste, but still good. The skewers also had onion and red bell pepper on them. I love the green spicy salsa. It isn't as spicy as the place across the highway that has a similar salsa, but it was perfect for my taste. read more

I've been to this place a few times and have ordered the same thing because it was good. The first few times I went with my sister (because she wanted to try it) the service was quick with no complaints. Then took my family of 5 and our waitress added 18% gratuity FOR A TABLE OF 5. Not to mention she was awful and couldn't get a refill not sure why she did that but it really turned me off from wanting to go back. Also the place was dead on a Friday night when this happened and now I can understand why. Might give it another try in the future but adding a 18% gratuity on a small table is ridiculous. read more

Not worth time or money and the cheese bread 2 dollars a piece and they are tiny and so flat OMG. But the cashier was very nice.

I wanted to write a review, since I've read so many poor ones. My husband and I tried this restaurant thinking it was Mexican! Overall, it was very good. They had several specials, and we ordered the Pollo Al Grill for 8.99. It started with a potato chicken soup that was good - a really big bowl. Then the main course came out, consisting of a grilled chicken breast, small salad, rice, and really good lentils. We went for lunch and only paid $18 plus tip. Not bad. I really like to support local business right now. Service was quick and the waitress did speak English! read more

The food was good but the service is horrible. The server did not know a lick of English. He couldn't even understand the common English sayings at a restaurant like hot sauce or to go box. I'm not expecting him to know the English language fluently and not judging him on that but if you are serving the public then you need to know something to communicate with the non Spanish customers. read more

I was expecting more on my recent visit here. We were a party of 18 on a Sunday evening. Service was ok. For dinner I ordered the Bandeja Paisa and a mango/milk smoothie to drink. The fried pork belly was not crunchy but rather chewy & rubbery. The rice was bland, the beans were bland, the egg was bland, the steak was bland. Even the green sauce (aji verde) was bland but because it had cilantro and green onions in it, at least that helped. They must've added too much water in the green sauce? The mango/milk smoothie was very grainy with a grainy-powdery residue left on my tongue after each sip. I wasn't expecting a gritty-powdered mango drink for the waitress initially said it was made from "fresh fruits"? Maybe they had an off day when I visited? I don't know, but I won't be back. 2 stars for an ok service from our waitress. read more

First time trying Colombian food so I don't have anything to compare it to but if this place is any indication of how Colombian food should taste I am absolutely amazed!!! The flavor had so much personality! I will definitely be back! read more

Limited lunch menu. Went with special. It was good and filling but not exactly what I was thinking it was due to miscommunication from server, who was very pleasant. Stay away from ordering tea though. It's the pre-mixed lemony stuff and not brewed. read more

Love the batidos, empanadas, & chorizo! Always delicious and worth the wait. Sometimes there can be a slight language barrier but they are very accommodating (: You might want to call ahead as sometimes they close a bit early if they aren't busy. read more

Ok, I'll admit I can't read a Spanish menu. But what the hell I gave it a shot. However I do know the dish I ordered that had potatoes, sausage, and plantains was re-heated and dry as all hell. I bit into the pork and it was pure gristle. I can tell something that came out of a microwave, this was it. The order came out in 5 minute intervals per person, by the time they came to deliver my Daughters food they said they were out? She ordered a Caesar Salad, if you were out wouldn't you tell the person when they ordered not when everyone else has their plates? What the f"&@(& is she suppose to do now for dinner? SOL I guess. In addition, they cannot make a good Margarita to save their life. The cheese dip was cold and watery, service was beyond bad. Do everyone a favor and close the doors,and stop giving Latin food a bad name. read more

Huge disappointment to put it nicely. Figured we try it since it's close to home, the service was poor(spoke very little English, didn't get a drink in a timely manner) food was so bland (I asked for mustard and pepper which they had neither) and there was no soap in the bathroom. Nothing positive to add read more

Came here with a group of friends and had a blast!!! Great ambiance, excellent service & delicious food! I loved dancing all night to Spanish music!!!! read more

I love this place great service and the food is awesome. The staff is friends plates are delicious

Waaaaay better than cafetal! This place has the best Bandeja paisa I've had in Atlanta! I can't wait to eat there again! Bring someone that speaks Spanish because not all waiters/waitresses are fluent in English! GREAT service though read more

Great food!! Staff is pleasant. If you miss Colombian food this is where you need to go.

We were here for New Years eve, family environment. Came to the place expecting that if we pay $30.00 per a gala plate(like they stated), we would have a nice dinner, well we didn't even eat 3 bites, the food was horrible, cold, the rice was hard, meat was dry, no salt.... not worth the $30.00 that we paid for.... not to mention the DJ... OH MY GOD! The man has choose the wrong field for him. As a Colombian you expect to have " traditional music"... We end up paying a very expensive tab for a very poor service, bad food, very expensive liquor... excuse me?? $60.00 for " media botella de aguardiente" that's the price for a 1 bottle. Owner was very nice, but I assume this is a trick for him. Definitely will not spend a special day like this at this place. Not worth it! read more

I love Colombian food and I was definitely disappointed with this Yelp find. The Aji sauce had no flavor, empanadas were ok, and the bandeja paisa was salty. I don't recommend this place at all. I'd rather take the drive to Las Arepas de Julia off Lawrenceville Hwy! read more

Loved the place, friendly staff, you will get more for your money ordering any of the lunch special, comes with a delicious soup, the main course was big, it comes with salad and a fruit juice, mine was mango, will definitely come back. read more
