El Peñol 3

Had my first visit yesterday for lunch with some relatives. It took the staff a few minutes to warm up to us but once they did, it was a nice experience. In their defense, my cousin can "mean mug you" at times 😂. Growing up on Spanish food, I can say it was good. I loved that my dish was made to order and not a reheated microwaved meal. The place looked nice and had a full bar. I wouldn't mind going back for dinner.

Spacious, lively, casual place with delicious and affordable food and drinks!!! Really friendly service, feels like a nice neighborhood spot where people are “regulars.” Really flavorful and cheap cocktails for the area. The food was delicious and unique and well-flavored. The only thing we didn’t like was the “arepa” bun thing (the small corn bread thing), which was quite cold and dry.

I absolutely love ordering from this place. The Bandeja is amazing I’ve ordered probably 10+ times now and it’s always 10/10. Today I asked the staff if they could bread the piece of meat and they gladly did. This is one of my go to spots to order from in Boston.

"Had lunch at El Peñol 3, and it was a great experience! The service was top-notch - the staff were very pleasant and helpful. But the real highlight was the food, it was really good! If you're looking for a solid dining experience, El Peñol 3 is definitely worth checking out. 👍 4.5/5 stars"

Wow. This place was incredible. The staff were very professional and friendly and the food was just excellent. I had Bistec a la Criolla and a jugo de maracuyá (passion fruit juice). Flavors was so wonderful. I went with my husband and 6-month old daughter.
