Carlos was absolutely rude and should not be a manager. He served me on a dirt napkin the first drink. I ordered a Mango Margarita. I noticed that Carlos did not even pour 2 oz of tequila in the drink. He free poured for 2 secs. I tasted it and it was watered down. I then asked him what he would reccommend and he was very short and nasty with me. Saying I dont know I like them all just pick already. I asked for him to make another one this one top shelf since it tasted watered down. Carlos then pours Luna Azul Tequila which is not Top Shelf!

I don't think I have ever given a one star review in my life. This was the most disappointing meal I have had in a very long time.

The only enjoyable part of the meal was the chips and salsa. The service was poor as well, we had to ask multiple times just to get napkins and silverware for our table.

Great little Mexican restaurant hidden in the shopping center. The chips and salsa served had good flavor. The salsa has an almost chipotle or smoked flavor and decent spice. I highly recommend the Strawberry Limeade, fresh squeezed and full of flavor. Food arrived hot and full of flavor. I was not a big fan of their pastor it seemed a bit dry. The rice on appearance made me concerned I'm not big on corn in my rice but it was delicious. The tamale was very good. The service was a bit slow and originally messed up the order but they made it right. I would come back and try more of their items. Their burritos appeared very large.
Came for Happy Hour on Thursday. Large HH menu and love their house Margaritas, which come in some delicious flavors such as peach and mango. We sat outside on their terrace, which had a charming view of the lagoon
I love Fridays at La Penca. Chicken nachos and margaritas........can't go wrong with those on Friday.
