LA POLLERA COLORADA CLEARWATER

Love this restaurant, This place truly feels like home! The food is absolutely delicious, just like a home-cooked meal, and the staff are warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in. I was especially impressed with their daily menu, tasty, varied, and affordable. The restaurant is small, but that only adds to its charm and cozy atmosphere. Without a doubt, this was the best dining experience I’ve had in Clearwater!

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!

Let me tell you!!! If you're looking for good AUTHENTIC COLUMBIAN food this is the spot!!! Food was FANTASTIC!! We stopped here on our way home from the beach and so happy with everything!!! The chicken had so much flavor and the yuca chef kiss!

Graat service, great Sangaria and food. We will be back. The owner greeted us and even asked about our meal. Waiter attentive. I ordered the frijoles with chicharron. This was some of the best beans I've eaten. The platter had beans, fried chicharron, avacado,, rice, fried plantain, and a rice cake. The o erall meal is now a favorite. So flavorful. My spouse ordered the carne asada platter which came with a thin slice of steak, rice, beans and sweet fried plantains. Said it was delicious. We ordered half pitcher Sangaria which came with diced apples and oranges. It was perfect. Waiter even made sure our glasses had perfect amount of fruit. Refreshing drink. We were also given a complimentary flan for dessert. It was a perfect sweetness to our evening.

Ordered a dish to go and online it said 15$ and when I got there to pick it up the lady rang it up for 20$ they should updated theirs prices online. Once I got home the dish ordered had shrimp in it and it came with 5 pieces and one shrimp was only the tail part. Food was alright.

The food was very good and the staff was very attentive.

Small restaurant with great food. Went in for lunch on a Tuesday and it was packed. As soon as i sat down and looked at the menu i knew why. The menu had typical Colombian dishes and at very affordable prices. I had the lunch special of lentil soup that came with a large grilled piece of chicken, rice, and salad for just under $10. That is an excellent deal and the taste was just like homemade. Not only that, but the servers and owner are very attentive and engaged with all the customers. Will definitely come back when in the area as you cant beat the prices and the quality of food and service. Highly recommended

What an Excellent Find this was. Carlos treated us like Family. Delicious all around. Would have never known about this placevif not for the Entertainment Dining App.
