Chicharron was great. - Arepa: looks like a tortilla, so not the typical thick arepas I'm used to. So felt like I paid $8 just for a tortilla and small block of cheese - Tostones con guacamole: I prefer my tostones to be crispier, but they had great taste. - Cazuela de Mariscos: Great flavor. I put it on top of rice and enjoyed it with the other food, otherwise too heavy/dense on it's own. I didn't enjoy the mussels (I love mussels). They were too gritty.

Chicharrón! Yes please!…read more This place is always so popular whenever we come in for dinner. There's usually a wait at the door to be seated because the place is always jam packed with people. It's really worth the wait because everything is so darn tasty! We have dined in a few times and it never disappoints. I always like to get the Paisa entree because it comes with a huge side of crunchy chicharrón which I love! The non-alcoholic drinks are very good. They have a coconut drink which tastes refreshing and it's not too sweet. They also have a few margaritas and other beers. The staff is always super nice and accommodating. And even though it's always busy it's not too chaotic and the service is pretty quick. The food is always flavorful and cooked perfectly! It tastes like a home cooked meal and it actually feels like I am visiting a relatives house for dinner. Everyone at the restaurant always has a smile on their face and it's always just a great dining experience. Whenever I am in town I always think of this restaurant!

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!
