Happy Paisa Chicken

This place has been here for a while and it’s only my first time trying it. Ordered a half chicken with potatoes. Deeeelishhh. It definitely has that authentic Colombian chicken flavor. It was just a little over salted, but other than that it was perfect. Super juicy and flavorful. I will most certainly be back to this little gem and so should you. ENJOY!!!

BEST CHICKEN EVER! This rotisserie chicken is one of the best I’ve ever had! I’ve been eating here for years and even after they moved and renovated the food continues to be as delicious. I really enjoy their chicken and the seasoning they use. To have the best experience you really need to order a Happy Chicken or bandeja paisa which is a combination of chicken, fried pork or steak, rice, beans, fried egg. It’s just delicious! Some of the best traditional Colombian flavored chicken. Their rice is so wonderful
As well! I love it!!!
They do a very quick take out so don’t forget to call in advance! 10 stars honestly!!!

Gotta love the chicken, great prices. Small tiny place but it works great when you are super hungry and want some good Colombian food!!!

I live really close to this place and the food is always good and consistent. The empanadas are yummy even though it might be a bit on the greasy side. The beans and chicken as well as the chuririso is very Colombian. I do admit the food is a bit on the salty side, which might be for everyone.
I only pick up and the orders completed very fast.

I think I’m more of a fan of Peruvian chicken, which I find juicier and a tad tastier, but my wife actually appreciated how this was a bit drier. And we certainly both enjoyed how the huge servings could be stretched into meals for the next couple of days.

Best Chicken ala brasa!!! Love their sausages… Been frequenting this place since 2006 and never been disappointed.
I highly recommend this place.

This place serves a small variation of typical Colombian food. My boyfriend is Colombian so I’ve been exposed to way more of their cuisine however, the flavor of their chicken is very unique to this place. It’s always yummy and perfectly cooked. I also appreciate the simplicity of the ingredients used in their beans and consummé. Empanadas are delicious of course they use their chicken to stuff them along with potatoes and their always nice and crispy. I’ve never had anything bad from here but the chicken is always a must. I just wish the owner would expand into making Arepas and natural juices as well since this place is pretty much a niche considering its the only Colombian spot in the area. If you’re really hungry try the bandeja paisa it’s pretty much a sampling of foods they sell and enough food for 2 – 3 people for ten bucks.

I’ve been getting rotisserie chicken from Paisa for years, and it ruined me for any other rotisserie chicken spots. Their Combo Familiar deal is pretty great, and I recommend getting the picante sauce that goes with it, add that to the rice, the chicken — damn near everything.
I’ve eaten there a few times, but the ambiance isn’t the draw, the damn near perfect chicken is. Go there, get some chicken. You will be happy.

Definitely a good spot for a quick & affordable traditional Colombian lunch. It’s clean and you have almost a full view of the kitchen. Empanadas are bangin’… also, they have real Coca Cola — in glass bottles. No major complaints other than parking can be a bitch, the place is tiny so space is limited, and the language barrier posts a considerable challenge. brush up on your Espanol and you’ll be alright. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Best Colombian food in all of North Newark HANDS DOWN!!!

This place used to be Pollo Norman. It had the best rotisserie chicken in the entire area. It was good, but it burned down and this is what came after.
Happy Chicken. We are not happy with it. It’s not the same recipe. Maybe it burned down with the place. I don’t know, but this chicken is tasteless now. However, when there’s no food or we’re tired of the same thing… we gave it a shot again to test if the good stuff would return. It never did.
