My Wife and I love to try all different types of Restaurants. We both were very happy to dine at La Penca tonight! The food is excellent! We had the chicken tortilla soup, the fajitas and steak burrito dinner. All the items were fresh and obviously made from scratch! We will be returning. The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated and the owner was there to make sure everything was done right, which it was ! Also the place was very busy . Thank you La Penca!
Every time I go the food is delicious. The owner is nice and friendly. I recommend this restaurant. The margaritas are also a plus.
I ordered pick up for half a gallon of red pozole and ceviche. The ceviche is exceptional and diced exactly how I like it, very small, and came cold just how it’s supposed to be. The pozole is delicious and the toppings come in a large portion. Pozole was still very hot when I get home. I like cabbage, cilantro and radish instead of lettuce so if you order here make sure you have the toppings you like at home.
