I looked up lunch in the area and what got me with El Bambu is the photo of the Sopa de Galla. I mean cmon that looks so effing home made. The waitress said they have that soup on Saturday and Sundays so ill be going back for that! Edit: we came back a week later and the Sopa de Galla was exaaaactly as I thought it would be. Oh my god, it tastes exactly as the chicken soup my grandma made back home in Azerbaijan. Its healing and i asked the waitress to please never take it off the menu. (Like she has control ) - The people working here are super nice and polite. - Food is outstanding - we felt like we were actually traveling in Guatemala while we ate inside - price for the amount of food is more than fair - love that they dont blast the AC in the summer (seems like only a fan is on but it feels comfortable)

Today after lunch and being charged $15.65 I asked - Why not $13. Two servers told me that the Pernil went up and now Lunch with Pernil (which I had) was $15.65! Pork shot up the price $2.65! I would like for someone at LaCabana to confirm that a $2.65 raise in cost of lunch was due to rize in cost of pork shoulder!

Ceviche and fish soup were way overpriced Service was horrible. I should not have tipped anything at all so 2.00 on a 66.09 bill was done to insult the bad service. It's not the first time we felt unwelcome here and of course super super slow service. It's worthless to comply to the owner as this is the busiest restaurant in peekskill. He doesn't care if you go or don't go. The restaurant is clean, mostly families and friends dining.

The entrees are very good, as well, but come hungry! Service is friendly and efficient. It helps if you speak Spanish, but not necessary. This place is classified as a Mexican restaurant, but it really isn't, although they have a lot of Mexican style offerings. This place is more Guatamalan than Mexican.

The server never came back to check on us after dropping off the appetizer, and no one seemed to care about our order until I had to stop a waitress who had just started her shift to ask what was going on. Even then, the food still wasn't ready, so I ended up canceling my order and leaving. What made the experience even worse was the complete lack of customer service. Not a single apology for the delay, the confusion, or the inconvenience. The young waiter who was taking care of our table showed no customer service skills at all and seemed completely uninterested in helping. Definitely not a place I would return to.

But what I found having eaten there is an immigrant group or team doing the best they can, graciously working together to provide a BEAUTIFUL experience for me and my girlfriend. God Bless America. These were the hits: bacon wrapped shrimp, pork belly bites, croquettes... less so: octopus (it was fresh, well prepped just not my fav), humus platter, We sat comfortably after dinner with a couple cups of coffee as we had tickets to nearby paramount theater (absolutely worth the trip) and NEVER AT ALL RUSHED despite the place filling up.

Other than what was pictured we also got the seafood stew entree, loaded papas, avocado salad and the pulpo. Would come back for sure!

Both catered to the Guatemalan and Ecuadorian palates. The downside is food that has an irresponsible amount of sodium that sits on a steam table uncovered at temperatures below legal regulations. You can see the food and point at what you you want to eat. A restaurant like this will charge you what they feel like so the prices are different daily(if you are an American and do not know better) The staff I only come here at night and the staff are the number one reason I avoid this place My most recent visit which was a few hours ago I felt like I was in the breakfast line at Rikers island. No hello no how are you no what would you like,no please no thank you. No explanation etc. just slam splat container closed food rung up And of course not a word spoken after you pay and the person serving just disappeared. Amount of people in the restaurant 1: me Yes they get busy and no they really don't care about bad reviews. Not at all. I pretty much come here because I hate McDonalds or it's too late for Chinese or a quality Ecuadorian restaurant. I believe this place considers itself Guatemalan but seriously in Peekskill they have become synonymous . Check it or don't they could care less.
