Pollos El Paisa - Westbury

Visited for the first time on the day of work after our first and second choice for lunch for the day closed and Pollos El Paisa should have been our first choice! Outside it looks like an old dinner that turns to what it is today nothing special until you enter and are greeted by friendly hosts, owners and staff. And the food? loaded overflowing tasty food stacked on plates that make everyone happy, also the friends/family at home because you bring the uneven left remains home! We ordered the paella for 2 with half a Brat chicken and platanos on the side this could have been for 4 or 5! The seasoning was correct and not too salty on everything. Roast chicken fell from the bone. The platanos were sweating, soft and tangie. The mango lamp hit the spot. A great place with delicious Colombian dishes on your plate all served with a smile. Besides, the toilets were very clean! This will be a first choice when we are in the area in the future!

Food wasn?t bad nor good. I?ve had much better. I honestly didn?t mind paying an extra 4$ for sharing my plate but I am reflecting on the service. Everyone energy felt like they were over it. Not a smile or a good bye when we left. Use to be better back in the day but not anymore. I would most certainly not come back.

No need to go into Jackson Heights or Corona, Queens for authentic Colombian. This small restaurant in Westbury is serving up huge and authentic tasting Colombian dishes at very reasonable prices. Super friendly staff and made me feel I was family. Stop by next time you?re in the area. I guarantee you?ll not be disappointed.

First of all I want to mention the excellent service from the wait staff, truly 5 stars. The place was wall to wall customer's but they never forgot anything and visited our table several times to check on us. The food was prepared and presented perfectly. I had the skirt steak and my wife and daughter share a Bandeja Paisa (Country Platter) and half a roasted chicken. The portions were so big, we could have fed a fourth person easily. This is definitely on my revisit list.

Located on a busy corner, it's fortunate that it has a parking lot. Service is excellent and very accommodating, and the place is reminiscent of a coach diner. Food is good, offering your Colombian staple dishes. For me, the basic rice and beans tell it all, and they have it right. The grilled meats, chicharones, and rotisserie chicken are the complements. However, the empanadas, could use a better masa. Prices are ok, but definitely good Colombian food.
