A friend brought me and I tried Peruvian cuisine for the first time. I was very impressed with the quality and freshness of the ingredients, and according to my friend it was genuine traditional cuisine. The ceviche was outstanding, the fish super fresh, and the seasoning not too acidic (instead of tasting mostly like lime juice and onions as usual). The giant Inca corn served with it was fresh and tasty. One of my friends had an Inca Coca Cola which was yellow (!) and tasted like candy, and another had a purple corn drink that was flavored with cinnamon. I also tasted a delicious green pesto pasta with beef tips that were tender, smoky and not chewy. The guacamole with fried yuca was also delicious! Another interesting dish was the Leche de Tigre (I think that's what it was called) which was basically a cold fish soup served in a cocktail glass--sounds weird but I tried it and it was very good. I loved the fried seaweed that decorated the top, it tasted a little bit like fried calamari with a softer texture. Delicious! The waiter was extremely helpful and explained the menu in detail as we had lots of questions, and they were also very accommodating with the heat level which is always an issue for me. I was so happy to be able to enjoy flavorful latin food without burning my mouth! I hope they stay around for a long time so I can bring everyone there and try other dishes on their extensive menu--including their special "menu of the day" which includes drink and dessert.

This is a neighborhood favorite for us, and I wish I knew about it earlier. The vibe inside is very…read morefestive and energetic, and the service is really warm and friendly. Here are a few of the dishes that we've gotten over the last few visits: - Ceviche Mixto: great mix of seafood (white fish, calamari, and shrimp) and you can tune the amount of heat. The corn adds a nice chewy texture and is a nice contrast when the acidity might get a bit too much. - Jalea de Mariscos: crisply and well seasoned, there's something here for everyone because it's a combination of fried white fish, calamari, shrimp, and yucca. - Tallarines Verdes: pasta with a pesto made from questo blanco/fresco and spinach and basil, served with a steak on top. The steak is thin, so don't be expecting a specific temperature/cook on it, but it's super flavorful and juicy. The drinks are balanced and really tasty and refreshing, our favorites are the pisco sour, pisco mule, and anything with chicha!

Don't let the place's exterior fool you: it's actually spacious and clean, has a backyard, and the…read morestaff is very friendly. The food portions are generous and--naturally--packed with diverse flavors, textures, and great seasoning (including the vegetarian dishes). In my opinion, the one thing I'd change is the way they "restrict" the salsas; at first, they only give you two small containers. Sure, you can ask for more, but it's still rationed, and eventually, asking for extra starts to feel like a hassle.

Ambiance was pretty romantic with the dim lighting and clean atmosphere. We were seated pretty quickly and service was fast to get waters and take our order as well. The menu had a good selection of dishes which made for a good variety of food. Ceviche was excellent, very delicious and fresh. The salmon was also super tender - really amazing! Prices were also fair for the portions sizes. Overall, we had a great time and would love to try their other dishes another time. Thanks, Tambo 22!

The place has nice painted artwork murals on the walls, table seating, counter seating near the kitchen and along the windows and a back room lounge & bar in the back. For food, they offer a variety of dishes including seafood, soups, salads, pasta, tacos, sandwiches, burgers, steaks, chicken, Peruvian chef's entrees, kids menu and desserts. The prices here are moderate, entrees in the $12 (burger & fries) to $45 (lobster, filet mignon) range. I stopped by for dinner recently on a busy evening. I decided to be seated along the window since I was solo and received prompt service including the hostess who took my order. I started out with a glass of bottled water ($3 plus tax) with a glass of ice & lime (no free tap water). I was also given complementary hot rolls and butter, which were pretty good. For a starter, the Fried Calamari ($14 plus tax) came with ample breaded and lightly fried calamari rings served with a cup of homemade tartar sauce (plenty of chopped pickles) and garnish. The breaded calamari was crisp outside and a bit oily and slightly chewy and actually better than others I've had this year. For dinner, I went with the Chicken Marsala ($17.99 plus tax) which was served over thin spaghetti and not linguine. This pasta dish was very excellent which had a crisp and seasoned grilled chicken breast over soft cooked thin spaghetti tossed with a fresh sliced mushroom wine cream sauce and topped with greens garnish & orchid. The portion was good and I finished my dinner. I passed on the offer for dessert since I already had baked goods earlier. The check with tax and before tip was $37.44 (cash price). They note that credit card fees will be added if using a charge account. Overall, a good filling dinner on a busy night and I headed off to go watch some fireworks after dinner.

It's a small space with some street parking out front and even though it's small, it doesn't feel too cramped. The two of us ordered: - Shrimp and Mango Ceviche - Seared Scallops with Squid Ink Fettucine - Peruvian Style Shrimp Scampi with Rice - Peruvian Style Tuna Sashimi My favorites were definitely the squid ink fettucine with aji cream sauce and the shrimp and mango ceviche. After such flavorful small plates, the shrimp scampi was a bit forgettable. We also got drinks and the dulce de leche custard, which came with a little raspberry and blackberry. Service was efficient and friendly, and the food came out relatively quickly. Celeste is on the pricier side, but it's worth it for such a delicious and unique meal.

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!
