One thing led to another and we decided to visit this wonderful place. We drove up and as I was going in I see two of their employees running to the glass window to take a look at our two very large Woolly Akitas. We start talking and the young man walked me through this amazing buffet of goodness. Then he directs me to the meats over the charcoal... Yes, there is a Heaven, and I'm right there!! I run out and tell my husband. We both grab to-go boxes, fill them up and run back to the car to turn the A/C back on for our pups. Much munching later and a lot of "o dang" and "this is deliciousness" o and "this is the best!" We finally got done Honestly, we had to unbutton that top button of our pants. Full but satisfied. We over filled our to-go boxes and had two passion fruit drinks. I believe it was a total of maybe $40. Way better than we've had in a very long time. Friendly and sweet folks working there. Family owned. The food is AMAZING!!! You gotta check it out!!!

Went on a Friday night to revisit one of my favorite restaurants and it did not disappoint! As expected, we were warmly welcomed by the lovely Marlene. We ordered the picanha for three people, which easily serves four with leftovers.

I went to Kasa that night. I was visiting a friend who lives in the area, and we decided to give…read morethe place a chance and have a few drinks to celebrate her birthday. When I arrived, I noticed that some customers were speaking Portuguese, which surprised me and made me realize it might be a Brazilian place. Since no one greeted us or helped us get seated, I went straight to the bar and politely asked if it was a Brazilian establishment. Being Brazilian myself, I felt excited because I thought I would feel at home there. However, when I asked, the bartender/waitress answered me very dryly, with a tone that made it seem like I was asking something obvious. I'm a very friendly person, so I just brushed it off and thought maybe she was having a bad day. I left my friend waiting while I went to the restroom and then came back to order a caipirinha. During that time, there was still no assistance. Eventually I managed to get the staff's attention to place the order. I tried to overlook the situation because she seemed to be the only one working, even though the place didn't have much movement. While looking at the menu, I noticed they had ceviche. I'm a big fan of ceviche, but I wasn't sure what style it was. Even though Brazilian cuisine doesn't have a specific traditional recipe for it, it's also not a very common dish in Brazil. So I politely asked the same waitress if she knew what style of ceviche it was. I explained that I personally don't like the Mexican-style version with avocado, tomato, and lots of spice. Without even really paying attention, as she kept making drinks, she responded with sarcasm and a mocking tone: "As far as I know, ceviche is Peruvian." She didn't need to be a culinary expert to answer my question. She could have simply asked me to check the description on the menu again. Instead, I felt disrespected by someone I had been polite and friendly to from the beginning. I told her, "I'm sorry, but there are different variations of the recipe. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't the version that comes with avocado." Right after that, I also let her know that when you work with the public, you need to have at least a minimum level of respect for your customers, especially those who are part of the restaurant's target audience. Maybe the food is good, but after that experience I didn't even have the opportunity to try it. I drank the caipirinha she made -- which honestly felt like it was prepared without much care -- paid my bill, and still left a tip equivalent to the amount, because maybe she was just having a bad day. But I shouldn't have to turn a happy moment celebrating a friend's birthday into a stressful experience. It didn't ruin my night, but I definitely don't feel comfortable in places where customers don't seem to be treated with respect.

It's been a long time since my work has sent me this route going to Boston, but I found myself…read moretraveling to Boston early this morning from Portsmouth and I was really really hungry and was trying to look for a place to eat close to my hotel in Chelsea. I was looking to see what was open and I just so happened to see a Puerto Rican restaurant open around 6 AM! I just had to try the alcapurrias and empanadas so I ordered 1 or each and I have to say I absolutely LOVED the chicken burrito it was FULL of flavor and the lady on the phone sounded so nice when I called and asked for some extra salsa on the side. The beef empanada was pretty good I would say out of the 3 I tried Chicken & Cheese Beef Shrimp The Shrimp was my favorite ! The other two were pretty good but I think flavor wise the shrimp empenada knocked the other two out of the park. The Burrito was so flavorful! I would highly recommend it ! I added Rice, Onion, Pico, Jalepeno, cheese and it SMACKED! I love finding hidden gems whenever I go on my work trips

The food is always incredible, and one thing I really appreciate is the consistency. No matter when you go, the flavors are always on point. I've tried almost everything on the menu and honestly love it all, but my absolute favorite is the Bandeja Paisa. The chicharrón is hands down the best around, the rice and beans are always perfectly cooked, and every plate tastes like authentic homemade Colombian food. The service is just as impressive as the food. The owners and the entire staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and make you feel like family every time you walk in. Even when they're busy, the food comes out surprisingly fast. Great food, amazing service, and the kind of atmosphere that keeps you coming back. Without a doubt, El Peñol 2 is one of my top three spots in Massachusetts for Spanish and Colombian cuisine. Highly recommend!
