    The Bandeja Peñol was excellent. I ordered the mini version and still couldn't quite eat it all. The blackberry juice was really good, too. The service was quick and the staff was all smiles. A really nice little restaurant.

    It was a very new experience, I have never tried Colombian food before. It was a great experience, and the people were all really nice. I loved the lulo.

    Cute place in Boston. Authentic Colombian flavor. Tried the breaded chicken and French fries. Comes with a side of rice and beans. Come hungry to make sure you get a full meal. They also offer fresh juices. The empanadas also have a fresh taste. It’s a small place, but the service is generally quick to get a table.

    Super delicious and authentic Colombian food. Has a welcoming, home like feel. The pros: Food and drinks served quickly, food full of flavor and attention to detail, clean, friendly wait staff. They don’t take reservations but we got there after 7pm on a Friday and only had to wait about 10 minutes for a seat. Cons: our waitress seemed to completely forget about us and we had to ask for someone else to take our check and take our orders several times. That was the only negative thing I had to say. Otherwise this place is a great place if your looking for authentic Colombian/Latin flavor.

    First time ever eating Colombian food! I can certainly say I'm obsessed! It was so good! That this will be my regular spot! Can't wait to try all of their food! 10 out 10

    I got the opportunity to visit Eastie’s El Peñol with some colleagues from our clinic in Cambridge and it was worth the trip! Great food and service. Cheers!

    Fantastic place! I feel like I'm right in Colombia. The food is delicious, all-around (especially the seafood and the cazuelas). Do many great options to choose from! And the exotic fruit juices are amazing. Staff are very friendly. Highly recommended
