I live in Cold Spring about 2 minutes away from this place. I would go more often if they weren't so dishonest. I've called them out on this before and don't think I should have to say something a second time. Maybe driving to Peekskill where the options for Spanish cuisine is plentiful & they are honest is a better option. Stop over charging your neighbors El Descanso!

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)

Music, drinks, food, atmosphere! One stop shop for a good time! This was my first time going and I will be back! The Service was great! When we ordered our drinks, one of the drinks weren't good, so the waitress took it back with no problem. She was very attentive to us. It was very lively. The colors, the decor, the lighting, everything was perfect! The drinks were good! The presentation was great and tasted soo good! My food was very flavorful, I enjoyed it. My only issue was my rice was warm and so was the pernil. It seemed to be only my plate because I could see the steam from everyone else's plate. The dessert menu didn't have much of a selection. And the options that they did have were very mid! The Flan was just okay. The Churros were a little dry. I didn't try their cheesecake. In my opinion, their thing is food! So, stick to that!

We kept having to flag down our server or ask the other server to let our girl know we needed something because she would disappear. I got the skirt steak again and it was rubbery so I did not eat it. Lastly, there was some weird smell in the restaurant that wasn't food and when I went to the bathroom they had a strong incense burning as if they were attempting to cover up the scent. Don't think I'll be back. The DJ wasn't that good either. Very disappointing.

We made reservations and upon arrival it was not busy, yet every table had a reserved sign on it …read more We tell the hostess we have reservations and they set up our table. You can see in the photos it appears they're trying to be more of a cocktail lounge/ restaurant as there was a stage in the front. Wasn't thrilled with table as the corners were broken and they gave us fold up chairs. This just gave me a local food spot feel vs cocktail lounge. As we sit down we were approached by 2-3 servers. Put in our drinks and appetizer order. Both of which were good, tasty. Our dinner was arroz con pollo and pernil. Found it odd they added bits of fried chicken cutlet on top of the areoz con pollo. Dessert was passion fruit cheesecake. We enjoyed our time but not sure I'd come back to dine in. Would likely order takeout. Staff was nice. Friendly. Food was good. Hot. Cheesecake was frozen even though it tasted good. I think with an increase in Latin/Caribbean cuisine places in the area, this is just okay. Not sure how the night scene is.

They had good flavor, and some just lacked a lil something. The kiss of fire drink was not favored at all, but the waitress had no problem swapping it out for something else. The diamond drink was really good, as well as the Moscow mule. The chimichuri steak was cooked perfect. The buffalo wings were also tasty. The tostones cups with shrimp lacked a bit of flavor, like salt and tasted a bit dry. The pernil had really good flavors. The flan tasted eggy and the churro were pretty plain in taste, no cinnamon or sugar added. The icecream helped counter balance what the churro needed. Overall, we had a great time. The DJ played some really good tunes plus the had on the boxing match on as well. After 10pm the tables get pushed to the side and people are welcome to dance.

We've come for dinner when it opens and when it gets a little full (halfway) the noise is intolerable. I found myself screaming my words to the person across the table. We've sat upstairs, in the back and in the front and still the noise just doesn't work for us. And I really like this place and would go more often, so we try and come midweek where the noise because of a small crowd is easier to deal with.
