    Pork chop with rice and beans
    Isabel J.

    I was hiking nearby and was looking for a place to grab lunch. My step nephew found this place thanks to Yelp. This place is nothing fancy but I was pleasantly surprise how good the food was. I got the lunch special which consisted of soup of the day plus a pork chop with rice and beans for less than $10. Did I also mention it included a soda. The food tasted really homemade and it was really good. I personally don't know much about Ecuadorian food but after my visit here Im a believer.

    Roast pork, Fried pork, rice, plantains, corn/potato mix and beans on the side!

    Was in town and looking for some authentic Mexican food! Service was great! Was greeted with water and chips and GREAT dip! Food came out in 10 mins and was delicious! Portion sizes are big! Had to take half home! Will definitely be back!

    Chips and salsa

    After our long Bear Mountain hike, we were STARVING! So of course, we turned to yelp to get some ideas. We didnt want the basic american style restaurant. We originally were going to go to Mercado but it was closed, so we came to La Cascada! The place itself is very small, hole in the wall type feeling. Nothing fancy at all, very very casual. We sat ourselves. We ordered chips n salsa, and i got a bandeja paisa. The chips n salsa took foreeever to come out. However, the chips did come out hot n fresh! The salsa was watery, not like your usual chunky find. The green sauce was spicy but flavorful. My entree was good, portion was fair as well! The beef was a little dry, but it usually is with this dish. The rice n beans could use some work. Wasnt flavored enough. The chicharron was so good! My sisters dish was DELICIOUS. She ordered the chicken milanese. We were both satified for what we got, esp being so hungry. The bathrooms were honestly kinda gross tho, and we wish that the waitress was more attentive.

    I am a fan. Very nice staff. Cute location in busy area. Street meter parking on a busy block. However I had no problem finding a spot. People parking and leaving as there is a convenient store and liquor store on the same block.I did not have time to sit down as I had to be on my way but hope to be back durimg my slow season. This food is fantastic. We ordered for take out. The packaging kept the food hot when we arrived home. The food reminded me of growing up in Queens Ny. Where we had Dominican, Puerto Rican, Colombian, and Cota Rican type disshes. Omg we loved it.

    Bandeja Serrana

    My family loves to come here! We always order the Bandeja Serrana & Bandeja Paisa. The staff is so kind and welcoming and the food is always out in 10 minutes or less. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great, authentic, food at an affordable price.

The chicken tacos are my absolute favorite. They're well seasoned, juicy, and never dry. Pair them with the chips and house made guacamole (definitely not store bought), and you've got a perfect meal. I also recommend the chicken burrito, which is huge, flavorful, and satisfying every single time. The prices are very affordable, and the portions are generous. You really get your money's worth here. Whether you're grabbing takeout or sitting down for a casual meal, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The staff is always friendly and helpful, which just adds to the charm. This place is a hidden gem, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone in the area or just passing through. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in Peekskill, this is the spot.

I always ask "what's good today?", he always replies, "everything!" Then I give my considerations, "it's between the Cuban or tacos" of which he replied "Cuban". I agreed, let's do it. It was snowing and cold. I guess I could've waited in my car but I chose to take in the scenery and stand next to the small propane heater Octavio generously placed outside his trailer. The food came out after maybe 7 min, not long. I quickly shuffled back to my car and got on the road. I opened the tray while driving through the winding Bear Mountain, probably not the smartest thing I've ever done. But this guy was hungry. First we have to try a fry. Crisp, seasoned well and delicious. I wanted to take a bite of the sandwich. It was going to be a chore while driving. The bread looked so good. I could see ham, pork and pickle sticking out the side and I needed a bite. I took a mental note of the tray. I kept my left hand on the steering wheel and my eyes on the road. I reached down w my right hand, grabbed the sandwich and took a monster bite. YUCK A BIG CHUNK OF PORK FAT. I spit it out and ate the rest of the bite. It was good, really good BUT it had a Smokey taste that I didn't love. It wasn't bad, just not my cup of tea. In any event the ingredients were fresh, the bread was toasted and crispy, the fries with the little tub of ketchup were just right. I enjoyed the lunch and look forward to my next trip to Octavios.
