Whoa whoa why the hate? I had a fantastic bandeja Paisa here that lasted me 3 days for $18! Staff was fun and friendly. Wish they had some beer or wine but the batidos were worth it. Maybe because we went when it wasn't super busy, but it felt like I was in a family owned diner and everyone was smiling and interacting with each other. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

Food is normally fresh and hot. Today my soup was very warm not hot, my roasted chicken was seriously cold. The fish soup was only tuna and the broth had zero flavor. 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. Booths and tables available. **The menu prices quite often are not the price on your bill so be careful read more

El Conquistador - Caldo de Pata Cow feet soup yummmmm - Latin American Near Me - Peekskill, New York

See all

The food is overrated! I order an encebollado soup...the soup tasted horrible!!! The Encebollado soup consist of fish and yuca and onions on top. Well let me start by saying that the chef literally put a can of tasteless tuna fish inside the soup! The soup looks like boiled with chicken cubes condiments with yuca added to it with a lump of a can of tuna With cut up red onions on top. It was the worst soup I have ever tasted! Service was horrible! This bowl costed $19. I could of done it myself and better! Wowwwww very disrespectful to the customer to be serve junk! Lesson learned! I Gotta eat my own home cook food! This restaurant doesn't deserve not even a Star! read more

Best value for the money, and damn good food too. If you don't speak at least a little Spanish you may have trouble ordering, and many things contain idiomatic expressions, but that's your loss. The service is slow at times, but well worth the wait and you'll get popcorn to munch on while you wait. Food is all prepared fresh come over they don't have a liquor license read more

El Conquistador - Latin American Near Me - Peekskill, New York

My boyfriend and I have been here maybe 5 times and have always had a great experience. You get tasty popcorn right when you sit down, and the food comes out pretty quick. I usually get the naranja jus de pollo (name may be different but its orange chicken) and its always is amazing. My boyfriend always gets the main course maybe called the Plaza de Conquistador which is like a full plate of meat. We almost always have leftovers to bring home! read more

Fresh, delicious food and friendly staff! Portions were big, and great value for the price. Would definitely go back!! read more

This place is very good. The prices are low, and the portions are huge. The quality of the food varies. Sometimes thee beef is too dry. Actually, it's usually dry. You're much better off with the chicken or fish meals. This place does an incredible take-out business. Every time we're there, the take-out bags don't stop coming to the register. If you like Ecuadorian food, this is the place for you. It's the best I've had, so far. Except for the beef. read more

The food is pretty good, and the portions are ample. Make sure that someone in your group speaks Spanish, because the waitress didn't speak English. read more

Nice little spot in Peekskill if your in the mood for a good meal. Delicious Spanish food Ecuadorian style! Fish, Shrimp, Roasted chicken is amazing good deals all the time also never disappoints!! Yummy! read more

I recently visited this place OMG lunch was so good I really loved the soup "fish soup" really tasty it had that Ecuadorian taste. The second course was "fritada" which basically is pork meat. It was good but the soup was better. I'm giving it a 4 star because the popcorn I got was saggy and while talking to the locals they told me that the place it's more expensive than others. Honestly the price was right for me I didn't find it expensive but anyways food was good. It is far from NYC but if I ever visit Peekskill again I'll def be going there again. read more

This is a gem of a restaurant! Catering to a strong community of residents from Ecuador, the place is always busy, accommodating a long work day with late hours and serving delicious, flavorful dishes. It serves up generous, very inexpensive portions of soups. I had the seafood soup which came with crab, shrimp, scallops, octopus, mussels, and was huge, incredibly flavorful, and hearty. I took half home and let me tell you, it really was good the 2nd time around. The shakes are yummy, delightful for young and old. I prefer them with milk, but you have an option for a lower calorie water based ones. Raspberry, mango, coconut are my favorite flavors. There are others. Really all dishes are amazing. The amount of food that comes may look intimidating but the meat is thin and is manageable to finish if you're really hungry. A side salad is common to many dishes and will change depending on the vegetable of the day, sometime avacados, sometime black eyed peas. You have your options of french fries or plantains (yellow or green) as another side. Go for plantains and pour alittle of that tasty sauce placed on each table. Yum!!! Rice is impeccable. And the meats are .... well, I am speechless. Easy going atmosphere, delicious drinks, amazing flavor, and a nice table sauce to top over your dishes keeps me coming here once a week. read more

I love this place. The food is delicious and the potions are huge. I love that the majority of the clientele are families from Central and South America. read more

The food was fresh and delish The rest rooms were spotless Nice service We had the porkchop and the roasted chicken. Will be back again! read more

Fish was so dry, I wondered if it was supposed to be a new type of recipe. Fish was not fresh. Everything else was fine. Great service, but the fish was horrid. read more

I would've given 1 start, but the food was not bad. We're new to Peekskill, and were hoping that El Conquistador would satisfy our Latin-cuisine craving, but will not go back after our experience. We put our order in, and watched as other customers that arrived after us came in, ordered, and received their food. (We were one of 4 tables, so they were not busy.) Apparently they do a lot of take-out, because people were coming in for pick-up and out the door in under 5 minutes. After 40 frustrating minutes of watching all of this and to be honest, feeling discriminated on, I finally went up to ask when our food would be coming. My husband was ready to walk out, but I didn't want to be rude. It finally came after 50 minutes from the time of order. When we finally got the bill, they had also charged us for WATER. Two "aqua's" at $2.00 each. Tap water, with lime. I have never, ever been to any restaurant in this whole country where they charged for tap water!!!! The food was honestly not bad, decent portions and moderately priced. But we'll never return. read more

Be careful when you eat in this restaurant I found hair on my plate twice and is not that clean the service is horrible and the owner is just as rude as the employees I will definitely not recommended. read more

NO THANK YOU! The food was cold, it wasn't fresh, and had no taste. I order the churrasco criollo and the churrasco al jugo. The eggs with the order were overcooked, and I don't know what kind of steak that was but it was obviously the thinnest and cheapest, never had a churrasco like that, ever. The meal also came with sausage but instead we got hotdogs. I was very upset. Also they give you popcorn while you wait for your food; it was stale. read more

The food is Great! But the service not so great! The waitress take forever to bring you the food and they always look mad, they don't really come to check on you if you need anything or ask if everything is good, as well sometimes ignore customers when they're trying to pay. read more

The food is delicious and plentiful. You really get more than you can eat, so consider sharing a meal. Some of the staff doesn't feel comfortable speaking English, but there is always someone who can take over if your Spanish is rusty. Everyone is super-friendly and the prices ridiculously low for the amount of food you are served. read more
