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.

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!

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!

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)

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.

Previous reviews said that they're unsure if they welcome Americans bc a lot of the employees don't speak English, couldn't be further from the truth. They are kind, gracious, and patient! If you have a question about what a menu item is, google it. If you need something and they don't understand you, google translate it. We are lucky to have delicious authentic food in our area that is also reasonably priced.

You can tell they genuinely care about the experience, not just getting you in and out. Now the food... absolutely incredible. The quesadillas were perfectly crisp on the outside with a generous, flavorful filling inside. Every bite had that ideal balance of melted cheese and seasoned goodness. Easily some of the best I've had. The chicken Marsala was next level. The sauce was rich and savory with that smooth mushroom flavor, and the chicken was tender and cooked perfectly. It tasted fresh, homemade, and comforting -- like a dish you'd crave again the next day. And the drinks? Amazing. Well-balanced, strong but smooth, and beautifully presented. Whether you're going for something refreshing or something bold, they clearly know what they're doing behind the bar. Between the phenomenal food and outstanding service, this spot absolutely delivers. Definitely coming back -- and bringing friends with me next time. Highly recommend!

Hi, just ate here with my family…read more We had a lovely experience until the end when the bill came. There were happy hour cocktails listed on a menu that sat on every table. It being happy hour, my dad ordered two cocktails listed there. When the bill came we were charged full price for these. The catch on this menu: it is for "bar and lounge only." We were apparently in the restaurant, not the lounge. Why would they put the happy hour menu on the table where it's not available to be served, we asked ? We asked our server, who told us "I don't know anything about that, that's just what the owner does." She was apologetic only when pushed on it and offered for us to talk to the manager, Jennifer. "Hi, I heard you had something to say about the happy hour menu," Jennifer said as she came over. We explained that we thought it was unfair that these menus would sit on every table in the room where it's not allowed. The difference was $8 for the two cocktails. I asked if she would honor the price and she said she couldn't, because "you guys are the first people to ever say anything." Hopefully we are the last. See the picture of the menu. For $8 and an apology for the confusion she could have saved three customers. Food was really good. But we left with an awful taste in our mouths over this because no one would take the initiative to fix this problem.
