I went to El Peñol 2 located on 570A Broadway in Revere, MA📍 We had a true Colombian🇨🇴 food feast here!

For drinks I tried their jugos naturales en augua🍹 (nature flavored water). They have so many flavors to try (mango, papaya, guava etc.) and you can get milk🥛 versions of them too. I tried their blackberry water and it was super delicious 9/10.

For appetizers we had fried plantains 7/10, yucca frita (yucca fries) 7/10 and mixed ceviche platter 7/10. The mixed ceviche🦐 🦑 platter was quite the sight! It had shrimp, scallops, octopus and avocado🥑 If you are in the mood for some seafood I recommend trying this dish.

For main dishes we had the carne en crema de champinoñes (beef🥩 in mushroom 🍄sauce) 8/10, the picadillo de pollo (marinated chicken🐔) 7/10 and pescado🐟 frito (whole fried fish) 7/10. For any of the dishes you can also get a side of rice and beans, fries🍟 , salad, or fried plantains.

For dessert we got flan🍮 7/10 and churros with ice cream 7/10. This place is very affordable and provides great portion sizes. I can see why they have two other locations (Boston and Brookline!).

Next time I come back (or perhaps do delivery!) I want to explore more of their drinks and of course get plantains/yucca fries.
