Taqueria Bar La Penca

Food was good. Chips were amazing!

Timing is everything!! When I arrived and saw I was the only one I confidently sat in a booth. I didn’t know what to expect, but knew I was hungry for fajitas. I ordered the Fajitas Texanas while enjoying the chips and homemade salsa. The place was well kept and had a feel like a family-owned restaurant. The service was professional, prompt and friendly. I like patronizing small businesses and had hoped this place would “make it”. No later than my fajitas came out the place began to fill up. Every table was full in a matter of seconds and chairs had to be rearranged to seat some parties. Well, more than likely them “making it” isn’t going to be an issue (See pic). Seems I came at just the right time! I like to patronize small businesses and at first I had hoped this one would last, but seeing and experiencing the loads of people coming in and enjoying themselves, it was pretty clear they had been there before and know a good restaurant when they see one. I highly recommend.

Prices looked pretty high on the menu, but given the portion sizes they seemed pretty reasonable. I ordered a vegetarian burrito that I will be able to make 4 more meals from. Small establishment but it wasn't too busy on a Thursday evening so seating wasn't an issue. Service was good. Took our order and then didn't bother us until we were done. Some might not like this, but I prefer it. Would highly recommend.

This was a great first time dining experience for us. The food is authentically prepared and delicious. Atmosphere is quaint. Service is excellent. We had relleno enchilada, burrito, and street tacos. The churro is a great dessert if you can spare the calories.

Good food and great staff! Prices are reasonable.
