Attentive staff and AMAZING paisa food

Tom Evans

This was my first time eating Columbian food and I thought it was out of this world. Everything was good from the corn bread with cheese to the fried Plantains and the Trout was fresh and best I've ever had. The waitress was amazing and the bathrooms couldn't have been cleaner.Would highly recommend

The meat of the bandeja paisa wasn’t good; everything else was, though.

Food was good. Had an expresso martini which was 6/10 I usually like to drink before I eat but unfortunately my drink came 2 minutes before my food even though I ordered my drink and then food like 10 minutes after which was a bit upsetting. Staff was nice seems like they all work together which is why I was a little upset that my drink came so late. I honestly think she forgot about our drinks but it was my first time. Will go back and update.

Restaurant was nice and clean. I had milanesa de pollo empanizado. The food was delicious and I’ll definitely come back if I’m in the area.

“El Peñol is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The customer service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring. They made sure every detail of our meal was perfect.

As for the food, it was absolutely phenomenal! Every dish was bursting with authentic Colombian flavors, cooked to perfection, and beautifully presented. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put real passion into their cooking.

The atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, making it the perfect spot for both a casual meal and a special occasion. If you’re looking for outstanding Colombian food and service that will exceed your expectations, El Peñol is the place to go. Highly recommend!”

We went there on Thanksgiving Day and they had the best service. My friend got the Crema de Camarones and she said was the best dish she ever tried since she arrived to the US, and one of the best ever. The food was fresh and full of flavor.

I’m writing this because I was with my friend when they were denied entry to this restaurant simply because they had their service dog with them. I was absolutely shocked and disgusted by the way the staff handled the situation.

My friend relies on their service dog for a disability, and it’s not just morally wrong but also illegal to deny access to someone in this situation. When we calmly explained this, the staff dismissed us and refused to listen. It was humiliating for my friend and infuriating to witness.

I’ll never support a place that treats people with disabilities this way. To anyone considering dining here, think twice about supporting a business that shows such disregard for inclusion and basic human rights.
