El Penol 3 - Brookline

As a Colombian and local guide, I typically order takeout from this restaurant, so I can't speak to the dining experience inside. However, their takeout is fantastic! My go-to dish is the sancocho de res. If you’re looking for food that tastes like a hearty homemade meal and is budget-friendly (only $12), this is the place to try! For just $12, you receive two generous portions of soup, enough for both lunch and dinner. The soup comes with rice, sweet plantains, and a side salad—it’s simply delicious! I highly recommend it! However, vegetarian options are somewhat limited. My husband gets the vegetarian paella here, but personally, I wouldn't recommend this place for vegetarian fare.

I had one of the best mojitos and bandeja paisa I've ever tasted! The staff is friendly, patient, and attentive. This was my second visit, and I will definitely be back!

I’m extremely impressed with the customer service, and the food was incredible. We definitely plan to return! A special shout-out to the bartender Manuela and Angie. I highly recommend this place!

Omg that place is amazing! Best Colombian restaurant in Boston. The beef picadillo was to die for.
