El Paraiso Restaurant 44 North Franklin Street, Hempstead, NY 11550

"While the soup we ordered was decent, the service was terrible. Be ready to see a lot of men coming to the restaurant, it feels like a bar vibe versus a place to eat with family. I tried several times to get the attention of staff and it took me raising my voice to get the lady to bring me a spoon + my bill. Their attitude was not welcoming."

"Went to have a breakfast meal. Sat in a disgusting dirty table. They had overpriced breakfast meals. Spent the whole time listening to the servers scream and laugh, i might as well be at a bar. I couldn't enjoy the meal.The platter was cold and horrible. I'm ashamed as a colombian to even consider this a colombian restaurant."

"Went in the morning for breakfast, order a few empanadas which were tasty but a little stale from being out in the glass box too long, ordered a meal which advertised the ingredients and had a picture, when it arrived it was missing an ingredient no cheese, which i had to asknthe waiter to correct. Was going to give a 1 star but then the Fresh Juices came out, I order orange juice and she ordered passion fruit which I can say turned my mood around. Large spectacle glasses, fresh fruit, blended with no seeds or peel. Really brought me back to the juices I enjoyed with my grandma. Correct everything else and I would give a 5 Star for a central american authentic restaurant."

"Well they advertise Colombian but really taste is from Central America so for me I love ❤ both but not mixed at the end food doesn't taste good if you want to serve to different Countries have there own dishes so customers can choose and if they like it will come back."
