i love love love eating here. never disappoints, such a good place for food that whiplashes you in flavor
Great food, service, and ambiance I'll be back again The food presentation was great
Love this place best Colombia food ever!! I have been coming here for years and never once had a bad time.
The best empanadas around. They come in sets of 4. Definitely worth trying. The other food is good as well. Quick snack? Chicharron con arepa.
I went to El Peñol 2 located on 570A Broadway in Revere, MA. We had a true Colombian food feast here! For drinks I tried their jugos naturales en augua (nature flavored water). They have so many flavors to try (mango, papaya, guava etc.) and you can get milk versions of them too. I tried their blackberry water and it was super delicious 9/10. For appetizers we had fried plantains 7/10, yucca frita (yucca fries) 7/10 and mixed ceviche platter 7/10. The mixed ceviche platter was quite the sight! It had shrimp, scallops, octopus and avocado. If you are in the mood for some seafood I recommend trying this dish. For main dishes we had the carne en crema de champinoñes (beef in mushroom sauce) 8/10, the picadillo de pollo (marinated chicken) 7/10 and pescado frito (whole fried fish) 7/10. For any of the dishes you can also get a side of rice and beans, fries, salad, or fried plantains. For dessert we got flan 7/10 and churros with ice cream 7/10. This place is very affordable and provides great portion sizes. I can see why they have two other locations (Boston and Brookline!). Next time I come back (or perhaps do delivery!) I want to explore more of their drinks and of course get plantains/yucca fries. Food: 7/10 Affordability: 8/10 Ambiance: 5/10
Picada for 4 was bombbbb. They actually give a lot of meat and the fried cheese.... **chefs kiss**. Definitely enough for more than 6 people if you're just gunna pick at it. We went 20 min before closing time and they still put in the order. Staff super friendly. Good place
The food was great! The staff was so sweet and explained all of the different options on the menu! Very hospitable and super clean! You could literally smell Fabuloso and Bleach when you walked in as they were recently opening. I highly recommend this place! Super authentic and very homey! Enjoy!
It's my first time in Boston and for several weeks we were looking for a good Colombian food and we found the place, Food is delicious and service is great. We ordered a cazuela Peñol, chicharrón con arepa, cubitos de queso, churrasco con chimichurri, and tostones con guacamole y hogao Everything was very delicious, I felt at home, the place is very nice, and the food came fast. The waitress very kindly offered to change my order to accommodate my dietary preferences. When i go back to boston i will definitely come back here.
Excellent little hole in the wall place! Serves a wide wide range of Colombian food, but clearly specializes in the meat dishes. Portions are truly huge (the dish they said serves two could have legitimately fed 5 or 6). Service was very friendly and the ambiance was nice. Was recommended this restaurant by several Revere locals too!
