It's clear the staff knows many of the regulars, adding to the cozy atmosphere. We went during lunchtime on a weekday and the place was relatively packed with customers.

It was so flavorful and the beef was fork tender. The soup comes with perfectly cooked white rice, fried sweet plantain (not greasy at all), and a small garden salad with tiny mandarin slices which gave it a nice flavorful touch. I love the Latin ambiance. I highly recommend El Peñol 2 for delicious authentic Colombian Cuisine.

The waitress blatantly said "no" we proceeded to watch them allow 2 groups that came in after us to the tables.... One group offered some of us to sit at their table as it was for 6 the wait staff QUICKLY dismembered the table from a 6 top to a 4 top. Attaching the waitress that blatantly said no to our face and allowed 2 groups that came in after us to take tables! And not offering to get us other drinks as she served on other tables.Thank you for not even remotely accommodating! And the plot thickens.... The bartender openly said to my friends ordering 6 margaritas before we openly sat at an "unopened table" that she only put lime juice in them. We paid $80 for lime juice???! Good luck to anyone who goes here! Oh my friends reported this encounter to the manager Kevin. He told us " he would make it up to us next time" who would want to come back with shit service
