Ate here for the first time by myself on a hot Friday afternoon. I had brought and ate the bandeja paisa with a side of Colombian soda and complimentary hot sauce. It had tasted really good and delicious that I took my time to eat it all. The service there was also great, respectful and attentive. I couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :) read more

PimPollo - a plate of food on a table - Colombian Near Me - East Elmhurst, New York

The beef empanadas are amazing. Had to come back to get more. The restaurant is clean and cute, perfect for family and dates.

La Comida es rica, pero es un poco cara...mi problema ahora es que estan agregando la propina automaticamente..eso para mi no esta bien..propina es algo opcional que uno da por el nivel de servicio que uno recibe, la comida etc...y agregando propina automaticamente me parece muy mal. especialmente si uno queda disgustado con lo que sea.. tambien queire decir que si uno pide para llevar uno tiene que pagar propina obligado.. este tipo de cosa le quita las ganas de ir a comer alla, tambien la limonada natural la hacian deliciosa, limones naturales..super ahora...no se que estan usando para esa limonada pero sabe artificial...horrible. read more

This is the second time that I've from here via Yelp and both times I was happy. Delivery time was fairly quick and the food was still hot on arrival. The first time I ordered, I got the chicken & rice mix which came with sweet plantains & a salad and I also ordered the cream of shrimp which comes with white rice & french fries. My boyfriend ordered the breaded chicken with rice & beans. Sooo now... I usually order the same thing from Pollo ala Brasa but this place blew them out of the ball park. The chicken & rice mix is usually a huge serving anywhere that you go but PimPollo gives huge pieces of chicken and the sauce thats given with the meal really makes the dish. The cream of shrimp was very good as well with large size shrimps as well as small shrimps...the cream was tasty and not loaded with sodium. The only complaint that I have was that the serving of white rice wasn't enough but it didn't matter much. Tonight I ordered again but tried something a little different which was the Grilled Beef Typical Platter and it had a variety of things such as grilled beef of course, fried egg, white rice, beans, fried chicharron, avocado and corn cake. I didn't eat the chicharron because I don't ever eat it but I finished everything else and it was yummy!! Beef was cooked to perfection and very soft..and if you mix everything together it tastes pretty good. The avocado was a bit over ripe but I was able to salvage small pieces here and there. I will definitely continue to order from here because the food is filling, tasty and delivery is always quick! read more

PimPollo - a plate of food on a table - Colombian Near Me - East Elmhurst, New York

The food here is underwhelming and rather disappointing. I would give the food here 3 stars, but I have to take off one because the chicharrones tasted like straight up frying oil, and were also dry at the same time (I'm not sure how they managed to serve chicharrones that are drenched in oil but also have a dry, rough texture :{ ) The worst part about it: my meal was $18. Too pricey for what I ended up getting: a bandeja típica that wasn't so típica :/ read more

PimPollo - The chicharrones look like they were fried 5 times and then neglected in a corner somewhere.... super dry and crusty and they tasted oily. - Colombian Near Me - East Elmhurst, New York

This rest is delicious!, i am surprised that this gem has so many mixed reviews. I always come and pick up food or dine in when I'm in town and it always a pleasure. Staff is very friendly and food is delicious hands down. I always leave more than satisfied. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE MADE ME SICK POSSIBLE FOOD POSIONING-the most disgusting food I have ever tasted. raw chicken soup taste like chicken feathers with some type of mystery meat. feel sick to my stomach. have eaten at alot of places and this one takes the award for the most disgusting food. no wonder every table is empty- they have given up. Asked for a refund and after complaining back and forth to 2 people they finally refunded $4 of the $7.77 +$2.00 tip. be careful feeding your family and children. reporting this to the Department of health and sanitation. how can a place like this stay opened? read more

Their Mini Typical Platter is good buy 8.50 for Steak Rick bean avocado, egg port skin. the port skin is very special, it is the first I try it it was different and good. there is no waiter therefore you don't need to pay tip. it is also a good save. if you are in the area you should try it. read more

I stopped here on my way to the airport and was disappointed that they didn't have corn arepas. The lady at the register was very nice and suggested a different dish to cure my cravings. I got a dish of beans with rice, fried plantain, pork, steak, and a fried egg. It was a big portion and everything tasted amazing! To top it off, I got a maracuya drink (my favorite!). It was a nice meal to finish off my NY vacation. Bookmarking the place to come back on my next visit read more

PimPollo - Delicious! - Colombian Near Me - East Elmhurst, New York

They need to hire better staff. The lady that took our order ruined our experience. We ordered a churrazco marinado & they sent us just a churrazco. Only. The churrazco marinado is sirloin steak topped with seafood. When we called to let them know we didn't get what we ordered she argued that we didn't order it right. We asked her what sides came with it and if it was for 2 people. She said ummm yes. We even asked the price she said it cost $30. So we ordered the churrazco marinado. When we stated this to her she tried arguing that the prices are different and that the churrazco costs $26. Cool. So if we asked you about our order costing $30 why are you arguing that we didn't order right? She clearly didn't put in our order right. But she insisted on arguing with me and being rude. read more

Great taste, traditional food, quiet atmosphere and very good hospitality. I recommend this please, to all that wants home made food, I love all soups, the taste is in the point. read more

I disagree with all the negative comments. This place is great. The food is awesome and worth its price. The bathroom is also very clean. The owners are very nice. When my boyfriend and I came came for dinner they served us quickly (we ordered 2 mini bandejas) we also ordered dessert (tres leche).this place is totally worth coming to if you live in the area. read more

See all

The food was excellent!!! Thanks for putting my order together so fast! I'll be ordering again! Thanks

EDIT: I have edited this review because I feel like one or a few of the reviews prior to mine (or below mine) is artificial/fake. The reason behind this is that someone (or multiple people) changed their star rating after I wrote my review. The average star rating for this place jumped up to 4 stars from 3 1/2 (which is was after I made my review) despite a new review not being made, which leads me to believe that someone may be artificially enhancing their review of this place. Honestly, I feel a little bad for deflating the rating of this eatery, given that there are such few reviews, which are of high rating. However, I want to give my honest rating for this place. I am sure that a lot of people may have a good experience with this place which makes me feel even more hesitant to give my honest opinion. However, I did not have such a great experience at this eatery. First of all, I was intending to dine in, but even though the place was empty, although there were some delivery calls, the lady behind the counter took a long time to notice me so I went and took a seat by myself and took a delivery menu since I was not given the diner menu. She noticed me after like a good 3-5 minutes and then came over and asked me what I wanted to order. I decided on the Tuesday lunch special which consisted of a pork chop, fried rice with beans, and a fried plantain. She asked me for my drink and I said that I would have water for now. That is when I noticed that they charge $1.50 for water. At this moment, my decision was made-- given that the service was pretty bad here as the lady was inattentive/understaffed (as she was taking delivery orders and was the only one in the store besides the cook), though she was nice and understanding, and that they charged for water --and I changed my order from dine-in to to-go. The food came out after around 10-15 minutes and I went back to work to eat it. I was given plastic utensils, and perhaps this is also part of the reason why I had a bad experience. The pork chop was right on top of the rice and there was no room to move any of the food around in the container without some overflowing. This made it nearly impossible to cut the pork chop, especially with the plastic knife, as I spent a good minute trying to cut my first piece. After getting that worked out, I noticed that the bone to meat ratio for the pork chop was extremely high and I barely got a meal out of that. Most of the meal was made up of rice and beans, which honestly did not taste that bad, but I would have assumed there would have been more of pork chops and less of rice and beans. The fried plantain was decent. I ended up actually throwing out the rest of the meal--some rice and beans and the rest of the fried plantain-- as I did not like it much. Overall, I did not like the service here as they are clearly understaffed for both delivery and dine-in, and the food was decent at best, and extremely uncomfortable to eat. read more

Just moved around the way and couldn't find no place that delivers rotisserie chicken, until I found PIMPOLLO (Great Food) and fast delivery. The only downside is the minimum is $15 and I'm a single man that only needs to order for 1. read more

I love their pollo en salsa de champiñiones! (Mushrooms) so flavorful, juicy, tender! All that deliciousness is worth every dollar spent!

I called to placed three orders for delivery. I had to repeat my orders several times because she only had two orders down. Then I gave her my address and my phone number. She repeated the address and the phone number. The lady said it would take 35 mins, I don't live far from the place. An hour passed by and I still don't have my order. I called and asked the status of my order, she said it's ready. Then she asked for my address. I was confused because I had already gave her my address. I told her that she should have it on file, but she kept asking for it. Then I asked why hasn't my food been delivered I waited an hour. She said oh we had the wrong address, then she asked for my address again. Then I said why didn't you call me to get my address. Then she she said oh I also had the wrong number. The lady should have been honest with me, instead of trying to cover it up that she had the wrong information. I was extremely annoyed I had company over. I don't not recommend this place for delivery. The customer service was not acceptable. read more

The food is always good and reasonably priced, the ladies are nice and cute!! I'm lucky that its just around the corner from me so I practically live there...they have a daily soup special that cant be beat, different each day, you get a large or small soup with the addition of chicken or beef, rice, potato salad for $8-$10. Cant beat that.... read more

This place was great, located right by my house. A 5 minute walk. I was a little skeptical at first due to only going to one specific restaurant but I decided to try it. Overall the food was amazing, when I got there they had forgotten one order so I waited an extra 4-5 mins. Only thing I'd add is I ordered well done and I got it cooked about a medium. Wasn't too much of a problem as the whole meal was delicious! Definitely recommend! read more

This was a great place I had for lunch today. The place was really colorful and they have great food. I had a lot of meat and it was so good. They serve the food really quick and had mints. You would have a really good lunch if you come here. read more

I've been going here every week for the last 3 years with colleagues. Thursday SOUP lunch special is the best! (Wednesday's Lentil soup is a close second). Half chicken, chicken/veggie soup, rice and salad for $7?! Exactly what I need to end the work week! read more
