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)

Whatever they marinated the steak in (some kind of tomato sauce?) was absolutely delicious, and I've never really sought out coleslaw but whatever they put in theirs is fabulous and addictive! It was served on a kind of puffy tortilla, almost like a bowl, and the potato was half a potato. I really loved getting a bite with the scallion. While I waited for my food, I sat at the bar and noticed they had a Mexican Stout which I didn't bend know existed so I had to try it and it was also really good. The girl working the counter was very nice, too. I'd love to come back here and try something else!

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!

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.

The entrees are very good, as well, but come hungry! Service is friendly and efficient. It helps if you speak Spanish, but not necessary.

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.

The menu was different and the cuisine focus somewhat changed. We ordered the jibarito and were asked which side we wanted. It turns out the side wasn't included and we're surprised by the charge on the bill. The jibarito itself was significantly smaller and I compared it to my previous photos to confirm. The steak used to be so flavorful and it wasn't flavorful at all this time around. The only item we truly enjoyed was our bacon wrapped shrimp tapa. That was really tasty. The atmosphere is still pleasant but I wish the food was better. It was excellent just the way it was before!
