What a great experience! Easy to get to, small, quaint restaurant, but spacious, TVs, a bar, and very nice, kind service. The food was tasty and bigger portions. They're ok with replacing some side items. We'll definitely go back! read more

Amazing- delicious and so reasonable. This is a go to for healthy delicious food. Highly rexommmend.

The Bandeja Paisa con Entrana was amazing! The beans and plantains were a great side. Servers were super friendly and the inside had many ceiling fans to move air in the hot & humid Florida air. I had some Flan for dessert. Tasted right on par with what mama once made. read more

The food was delicious. The server was very kind. We sat down near 830PM, so we were among the last to be served last evening. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. Forgot to take great food pics! read more

Visiting our daughter's church downtown, decided, the three of us, to check out some place nearby. We liked the reviews, so my daughter chose La Pollera, thinking it was Mexican. It was Colombian, so trying some new things. Place was packed, we were lucky. There was one open table, so seated right away. We were brought waters and menus and ordered the Beef Empanadas as an appetitizer. My wife selected the Ajiaco, Chicken and Potato soup. My daughter decided on the Sandwich de Carne, Steak sandwich. After looking for something different, I chose the Frijoles con Garra, Beans with pork skin, Fried Pork Belly, Rice, Fried Plantains and Avacado. Apparently every meal comes with a small salad, which was nice. As we were eating our salads, our Empanadas came. Wow! These were the best Empanadas we had ever eaten. Crispy, hot, well filled, and delicious. Our meals came and they were whoppers. Especially after 3.6 Empanadas with my daughter - my wife only had 1/2. My wife's soup was huge, most of it went home. As did 1/2 of my daughter's sandwich. Couldn't believe it was only $7.45, a great deal and very tasty. My beans and beans were great and I enjoyed the Pork Belly. Again, half went home for another meal. To wrap it up we were brought a small piece of Caramel Flan to try. Food was good, service was great, good ambiance but a bit loud at time. My only disappointment was their hot sauce was not even warm. But altogether a nice meal as introduction to Columbian food. Next time I'll try something else again! read more

The food here was absolutely amazing! My family is Ecuadorian and we have quite a few of my uncles married to Colombian women...this restaurant is 100% authentic. The service was also so sweet...and the flan was PERFECTION at the end! We were so focused on the amazing taste we forgot to take pictures! The light music also makes for a great environment! We ordered the 1/2 pollo a la brasa and the grouper & shrimp in lemon cilantro sauce! read more

I have been a fan of this restaurant since their original location off Linebaugh in Tampa nearly 20 years ago and they never fail to deliver! The service is always so friendly and helpful, the menu is huge and if you love Colombian food, you will not be disappointed here. They have incredible lunch specials that include a salad and flan for under $10. Wednesday is Chicken Cordon blue day and it's so good. Comes with a cream mushroom gravy and beans and rice. As for the atmosphere is casual and pretty basic but clean and you're there for the great food and deals. Luckily my new work location is just a few minutes away so I'll be back again and again read more

Went there again last night and the food is excellent and large portions! We brought friends last night and we all left with doggie bags!

This was my first time at this wonderful restaurant. My Colombian friends invited me. Whenever I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop by. The food was delicious, and the price inexpensive, with friendly staff and a nice ambience. They offer some wonderful Colombian products as well. We even had authentic Colombian beer. A wonderful experience. Color me content. read more

My friends were visiting Clearwater Beach, so I searched for a restaurant nearby for dinner. I'm SO grateful that Yelp brought up La Pollera Colorada because the food here was amazing! I love discovering new restaurants, and even moreso, impressing friends with delicious local eats. La Pollera Colorada offers Colombian dishes at very affordable prices. My husband and I shared the Parrillada for 2, which includes skirt steak, NY strip, Spanish sausage, blood sausage, chicken breast, and two side dishes of your choice (we chose rice and beans). I also ordered fried maduros to complete our meal. The meats served are HUGE, and this platter could certainly feed three or even four people. The skirt steak and blood sausage were my favorite entrees, but all of the meats are delicious and cooked to your preference. The maduros were not greasy, but I thought they could be a little sweeter. Our meal came out to $40, including a cafe con leche. You can't beat the quality AND quantity of this meal for the price! The restaurant is somewhat small inside, so if it's the weekend or common meal times, I imagine it may get crowded. Service was on the leisurely side, but everyone was very friendly. I also thought the temperature inside the restaurant was very warm. Overall, my friends and I had an excellent meal at La Pollera Colorada. I would love to visit again when I'm in the Clearwarter area once more. read more

I can't believe it's been over 9 years since my last review here. We hadn't been in this area in quite sometime. I was scoping out the new Filipino Restaurant a few doors down called Abuhan Sa America. Decided to check this place out again, & it became our lunch spot today. From the start, everyone was very nice. I can tell they did some updates to the place since we were last there which crazy enough had been about ten years ago. I saw one of my old pics on Yelp of my husband too. Aww so cute. Lol. Anywho, we decided on the parrillada for two. This is basically a couple cuts of grilled meat, chicken, sausage, and morcilla which is Colombian blood sausage. We picked two sides which were yellow rice with peas and carrots, sweet plantains and it also came with salad. All of these for us for under $35. I think that's quite impressive. Everything was so good and came out on a sizzling hot plate the size of a pizza pan. Our server was very sweet and helpful. And she also brought us free bites of flan for dessert. I lastly ordered two loafs of cheese bread. I tasted some and wow it is just so darn good. We would definitely come back sooner than later this time. It was such a great experience. Don't be afraid to come here if you don't speak Spanish. They will speak English with no problem! read more

Delicious and so Cheap This cheerful Colombian restaurant is located in a strip center on Highland. The staff is friendly and helpful. I started with an avocado salad, a whole avocado on top of a large salad, all under $5. I then got a grilled half chicken which was very tasty and tender. It came with rice, fries and chicken soup. The soup was the weakest part and needed more seasoning and flavor. But the rest was great for under $15. I finished with café con leche and a small portion of flan. I left with plenty of leftovers for dinner the next day. I hope to return and try more of their extensive Colombian menu. read more

BEST COLUMBIAN FOOD EVER!!! Thats all you need to know. Come quickly!! We had the empanadas & platters that came with everything!!

Great service and even better food! Don't let the humble setting fool you. The paella was one of the best we've ever had and the Sangria was perfect as well. read more

La Pollera Colorada - Paella Marinera con Langosta - Colombian Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

You will not find better prices on food. To my gringos, take a chance, try the hole in the wall spot. Get a platter and some cafe leche or sangria. Don't forget the hot sauce. Great stuff! You won't leave hungry or disappointed. Steak is good, sausage as well. Pork could use salt but it's still good. Beans are great and the rice is phenomenal. Cuban sandwich is non traditional but for $8 you get a sandwich, fries, and pop. read more

This is food that's cooked by passionate people. It's a meal that displays as good as it tastes. That's is a locals spot, it tastes great the prices are good. What more do you want? I'll be back as long as I'm in this area! read more

Everything is delicious!! 100% recommend!! Great atmosphere, great service! It feels like your eating in Colombia :)

We enjoyed a fine Columbian meal to go at this local spot in Clearwater. The food was very tasty and very plentiful! I've been eating it for three days. We came pretty early but plenty of other people came in too so it was good to see the business doing well! If you want some amazing chicharron or Bandeja Paisa or fried yuca or empanadas or all of the above, don't hesitate to come here. Life is good with Columbian food! read more

No frills, just good Colombian food. I love their empanadas. Such a friendly space where everyone feels at home.

This place is the BEST Colombian food I have had in this area, their small place doesn't give justice fie the excellent service and the delicious food, I had the churrasco which was out of this world and our server Camila was 5 stars read more

La Pollera Colorada - Colombian Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Very popular local restaurant. Saturday they have pack house when I pick up my food on takeout at 3 pm. Usually that time don't have too many people. Obviously this is a local favorite. I have order the Bandeja Paisa. This is Columbia favorite combination dish. It has carne Asada, chicharron, sausage, egg. It is well round of meat. Love it. The pork belly was fried to crispy. Food is in good portions. The other dish we have ordered is Sobrebariga a La Plancha. It supposed to be the grilled top flank steak. But when I open at home is grilled pork lion. It is still taste good. The entry come with complimentary dessert as a flan. It is delicious too. Other mixed up the order, the food is still good. Definitely worth a visit. If you order takeout, call ahead because they are busy. read more

I was so happy I stumbled upon this great place one Sunday. We were so pleased with the amazing and friendly experience we had while eating here. The food was so fresh and tasty... From the fresh jammed packed Colombian empanadas with that perfect crunch of the corn exterior.... Man they were so tasty.. To top it all of the bandeja paisa... boom it was over filling the plate with that authentic Colombian abuelas cooking... I know I will be back for the whole fried fish in the near future... So if your in the area and hungry make sure to stop in and check them out your taste buds and tummy will thank you for sure.... read more

Dios mio this place is great. The food is delicious and the plates are massive. I had the mountain skillet and it was so much food I had enough for lunch for the next day at work. The service was typical, but the place is small enough that they are nearby. I was there with family so our server realized we were having quality family time so she didn't disturb us by coming to frequently check on us, which we appreciated it. We're definitely going by soon. Their menu is large as well, and they have original Colombian and other Hispanic dishes, snacks and drinks. read more

This is a neighborhood Colombian spot, homey, with attentive wait staff. I ordered the beef empanadas with the 1/2 rotisserie chicken w rice beans. Unfortunately they came out at the same time. A small forgetful salad came as well before everything. The empanadas were very large, filled w meat and potatoes, very tasty. the rosado and green hot sauce made the meal. The chicken comes out a stunning reddish color from the seasoning and had a wonderful moist flavor. The rice and beans could've been better seasoned. Again the rosado and green sauces made the meal quite good. The manager comes to all the tables and checks if all is good. I like this spot for it down home Latin flavor and feel. I'll definitely give them another shot. read more

Your service is horrible and the owner yelling at customer when there's a complain doesn't help either

Decided to visit the restaurant for a typical Latin Sunday brunch, the server acknowledged us right away and out order, the drinks arrived within 2 minutes, and the food not much later, I ordered the bandeja paisa and it arrived shortly, the beef, chorizo and chicharrón were cooked to perfection, the only disappointment were the arepas, they were dry and though as hockey pucks, I will skip them next time, the restaurant was busy with many families and the atmosphere was very friendly read more

Great lil Colombian spot in Clearwater. Food was super good reminiscent of Miami. I will definitely be back.

This place is tucked in with other businesses! Wonderful food and lots of it! The mountain man slab of crunchy pork belly with steak made to order, columbian sausage (flavor is like a Spivey chourico), fried egg and soft, sweet plantains. The shrimp and garlic was so buttery it was hard to put the fork down. The shrimp were medium sized and very garlicky. The yellow rice was filled with peas and carrots and had a slight hint of coconut flavor. Plantains is the side dish for all the meals. We had a meat and potato empanada for an appetizer which was crunchy and filled with seasoned potatoes and some hamburger. It was good but the meals Is what you come for with your family, lots of food! English and Spanish speaking. Great family restaurant! Support the local family businesses read more

Today I discovered a Colombian style restaurant in Clearwater which has been well established for some ten years. That's the fun and the potential risk and reward of uncovering a personally new gem to explore. Case in point, La Pollerà Colorada translated in Spanish as the "Red Pot." This colorful and comfortable petite restaurant and bakery is a very popular eatery for locals, Latins, and Colombians. I was in a hurry so I asked my server what dish would be available immediately. They were ready in minutes with very tasty marinated fall off the fork chicken with white rice and pinto beans. I was very pleased. Cafe con leche was excellent as well. This is definitely worth a return visit. read more

I have an affinity for Latin cuisine so I will usually go out of my way to find one. Luckily I found this gem that was still open in the midst of this COVID-19. Even better I'm supporting a small business that sure could use some love. I decided to go with the 1/2 Roasted Chicken with rice and beans as well as the Pork Rinds. I has to wait a bit but that just meant my food was made fresh especially the pork rinds. Speaking of it was very flavorful! Good ratio of meat to fat. The skin was perfectly crispy! The small potatoes that accompanied the pork grind has a crunchy skin while still being soft on the inside making a perfect compliment. As for the chicken it was seasoned well, moist and satisfying. The rice was made just right as it was flavorful but not over powering and flip and read more
