El Peñol

Very good food. Excellent service. Went for a quick snack/craving and noticed the waiting line as well as frequent orders to go. This place is a must for Colombian food in Boston. Also, very conveniently located near the airport. Getting a taxi might be the best way to go as the maps app might have little bugs and also the fact that parking is limited in the area.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was concerning enough that I feel obligated to share it for the safety of others. I called at 4:38 PM to place a takeout order for two bandeja paisa plates, clearly requesting no pork (chicharrón) and asking for it to be substituted with an extra piece of steak. I also ordered two empanadas. This request was made very clearly over the phone. We arrived and waited in the car. When my boyfriend went inside at 5:16 PM, the order was still not ready and he was told “10 more minutes” twice before receiving the food. When I checked the plates, both meals contained pork despite my explicit request. This is not a preference issue — my boyfriend cannot eat pork at all. I went back inside to explain the issue. The staff member responded in a conde

I visited this Colombian restaurant in Lynn while in town visiting my sister, and I’m so glad we stopped by! The environment was warm and welcoming, with a cozy vibe that made us feel at home. There was only one waitress working, so the service took a little extra time, but she was attentive and friendly, and it didn’t take away from the experience. The food was absolutely delicious full of flavor Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

We are from upstate New York and my husband surprised me with a trip to Cape Cod for the weekend. We landed and took off from Boston. My husband is Colombian and whenever we get a chance to eat Colombian food we do. We stopped at El Peñol. It was small, cute and service was great . Colombian people are usually super nice and it was no different here. Definitely get the empanadas!!! My husband got the Bandeja Paísa and I got a soup. Beware they serve alit which not a bad thing. Definitely a must if you are in the area.

Great spot for Latin food. The dishes are flavorful and the portions are good. The atmosphere is nice and it feels like a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy a good meal. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re craving good Latin food.
