La Peña Restaurante

Im ecuadorian heart and soul and let me tell ya ..there is nothing more disappointing that see your race fading ... besises de very ameicanice food .. there is no sign that this place is ecuadorian.. no color , no flags , not even independence celebrations... is sad to see how making money weights more than traditions. ... will not come back and im not recommending this place to anyone that ask me for a traditional ecuadorian place .

Great place for a night out or a romantic dinner , usually weekends they have a very loud live band so you can't really hear people at your table , not recommended for kids but you can enjoy the dance space . I LOVE the food ! Little pricey but it's a nice place for a special occasion.

Came here to watch the Ecuador game and the ambiance was probably one of the best I've experienced in a long time. They do a great job setting up the space to accommodate as many fans as possible and had plenty of staff on hand to make sure cubetas were replenished as quickly as possible. We enjoyed the salchipapa and appreciated the variety of Ecuadorian beer on hand (Pilsner, Club, and Mishki). If you're a golden ale fan Mishki was really good. Would be open on coming back to try more of their food seems like a great place to watch soccer games in general

Food is ok drinks are great ambiance is Lit Service. Music was excellent we all had fun

A friend recommended this place for the nice ambiance for someone 40+. We arrived about 730pm. There's a bar right when you walk in to the right. Tables to the left. There weren't many people. Lots of open tables. Within 45 minutes, the place was full. Throughout the rest of the night people were waiting to get in. The Food I feel is a bit overly priced. Nothing really under $20. They give you plantain chips and salsa as a free appetizer. The main dishes were smaller than what I would have expected. Once the crowd arrived was even the service went downhill. Great Music and dancing starts at 9pm. They placed cumbia, salsa, merengue and bachata.A good place to go for a nice night of food and dancing with a mature crowd. I'll definitely go back!

La Pena was a slam dunk- Or a GOOOOOOLLLL since futbol was on.The chicken and rice reminded me of paella. The Milanesa was tender and full of flavor. Their staff was short staffed, but able to get thru a pretty busy shift for 2 people. They have a selection of ecuatoriano beer which I had never tried. They have live music and karaoke on certain nights a week. Today they had La Liga matches on the television, and I'm sure they have most futbol matches on for any major one being played. I'll have to go back and cheer on as I eat again soon.

This is my second time coming here. My first time was about four years ago, and felt that it was too expensive and I was reluctant to come back. I decided to give them a second chance. The second time around wasn't too bad but their service was very spotty. It started off great at first, but when it came time to get our bill, and then finally getting it and then waiting to pay was just too long of a wait. She was also on her phone through out the night. As for the food, I ordered their ribeye Menestra and my wife had ordered their chicken Menestra. They do start you off with fried banana chips with a tasty hot salsa to dip them in. They were addicting to eat, was just hoping they would have offered us more. The ribeye was fairly big in size and cooked perfectly at medium rare. It was very tender and seasoned perfectly. It came with a side of beans and rice with fried plantains. It was still a little on the pricey side but it was at least filling. My only concern is that I didn't really taste anything unique that made it stand out as Ecuadorian food, or lack of Ecuadorian flavors. Everything on the menu looked bland and seemed like they offered regular food and not any type of Ecuadorian specialties. The food was great, but it would be hard for me to actually say, "Damn I'm craving Ecuadorian food today." Whenever I do plan on trying "Ecuadorian" food again, there's several other joints in the area that I would probably want to try before returning where.

First time visiting this place and it was for a birthday party. In a few words let me say the food tasted great, service was great as well and the ambiance gave a nice vibe. We went on a Saturday late evening and it's a very nice family restaurant until the night hits they start playing mu

Very Ecuadorian I love it ! I love the food , the servers are very nice and polite , the ambiance is great and fun specially on the weekends.

Horrible food, the worst ceviche ever!, fish was hot and very tough. Do not recommend.
