    Garlic shrimp & tostado, plantain+ guacamole+ spiced ground beef, Mixed grill; steak+ chorizo+ chicken + shrimp, savory chicken ranchero.

    Always a pleasure seeing the staff and eating at El Bambu. We love the new specialities added to the menu. It's a cheerful ambiance with bright colors from Guatemala. My favorite place in Peekskill.

    Pupusa de frijol y queso - bean and cheese
    Alexis D.

    Came with my kids and mom - daughter said she wished we could give more than 5 stars, son ate every shred of cabbage from the curtido that came with his pupusas. We also got 2 desayuno chapin, and a chicken sándwich. Everyone licked their plates clean, refried beans were hot fresh and perfectly seasoned, tortillas were made to order, so fresh and hot and corn-licious!

    Great food, well priced, charming service. Stepped out of our comfort zone and tried this tiny Guatemalan restaurant. Glad I did

    5-stars for deliciousness, service and general heart! I was deeply skeptical going in as I'd had…read moretrouble making a rez on the website which looked lovely but didn't function in rez making, so I called and was further put off by an idiot who couldnt take or confirm a rez in a timely manner. 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. Simply put: GREAT FOOD LOVELY PEOPLE.

    Ambiance was very nice, hint at a little fancier or higher end. Service was very good. They told us…read moreit would be a wait for the food since the theater across the street just had a show that ended but we honestly only waited like 15-20 for food, basically the normal waiting time. The food was REALLY good. A little too salty overall but some of the best food in this area. Other than what was pictured we also got the seafood stew entree, loaded papas, avocado salad and the pulpo. Would come back for sure!

    I've come here sporadically for many years and for many years been disappointed with some of the…read morestaff and food. Much of the food is standard for Peekskill's Latin eateries. 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.

    Clean, friendly, professional Ecuadorian buffet and juice bar. A cut above the usual. Not much…read moreEnglish spoken, but they'll find a way to guide you through.
