La Penca Azul

This place is always packed n you Can't book a reservation! Kinda fast to be seated though. The space is huge. If you're alone you can eat at the bar, as it's comfortable!

The menu is very extensive, which includes the drink menu. The service is very very very fast. Your drinks come fast, and so do refills. The food is delicious and totally garnished with Mexican flare.

The staff Is super friendly however you will get the feeling of being rushed, but no worries they're not rushing you they're rushing themselves!

Huge parking lot in the back.

Kind of dingy restrooms.

The name may have changed but this restaurant is still my go to for good food, good drinks and a cool vibe. It gets packed and for good reason!

They provide very good, plentiful food for a great price point. The service is consistently good and I love their drinks and the variety of margaritas.

I can always find parking in the back of the restaurant and Alameda still feels safe to be out in at night.

My favorite dishes are the Crab Enchiladas, the tortilla soup, and their Mexican Cobb salad!

If you want a place with a vibrant atmosphere, very good food and drinks, this is your spot!

We had the worst ordering experience getting the food for a group. First the online order was different from the menu for both items and pricing, plus no kids menu can be ordered online. Then when we called, the staff knew nothing about the online menu discrepancy. We called the next day to place the order, but the staff didn't help at all once knowing that we wanted a different location, and cancelled the order right away after we spent half hour on the phone. At last we went in-person to order, again, the price was different on the computer from the menu. When asked about it, staff just said they had no idea and just went based on the computer which was more expensive. Finally, when we got the food, we asked them to label the 14 boxes of dishes so we can know which is which for our group, the staff just said rudely "just look at the meat and you can tell". Sorry I cannot tell.
Plus the food was not good and way over priced.
After 3 attempts to order and encountering 3 roadblocks, we would not order here ever again.

Quick local love drop in. The bar is bustling and my Margarita was tasty. Chips and Salsa super good.

This was underwhelming. They could have done less, and turned out a better meal.

We started with some margaritas, they were mediocre at best. The queso and vegetable dip was a little too much going on. A simple queso dip would have been better. The Chile Rellenos were loaded with overcooked random vegetables. They ruined the batter coating on the chiles and added nothing to the meal. Had they been mentioned on the menu, I would have asked for them to be left off.

We were planning on enjoying some drinks, but the experience was so lackluster, we left after we ate.

Decent service, meh food.

Our 19th hole lunch. Got there about 1:00 pm and it definitely was not crowded; in fact it was empty inside? I haven't been there since before pandemic. Everything looks the same but the food has definitely gone down a few notches. Service was okay.

The best eats was the fresh chips and salsa on the table! Not gonna speak for the others so will only review the Carne Asada Super Burrito that I ordered. It was not as tasty and cost has gone up a lot. The super burrito looked like a nice size, but it was all FULL of rice and beans and a sprinkle of carne asada. It was very, very dry. The cost for a super was the mini scoop of sour cream and guacamole on the side. You needed to pour the salsa from the chips on top to be able to eat it without it being so dry.

Don't think I will be back any time soon!

Came here for the first time with my brother on his birthday. We usually go next door hot pot . Today was his birthday and he decided to get the oysters . Way too small and the inside shell looked unhealthy . Any one that can see and tell me if they are good or bad ?

Pretty good experience.
Quick service
Fresh salsa and chips.
My fish tostada was filling and tasty.
My daughter's salmon plate was delicious. I would go back for that as it came with a Side of fresh roasted vegetables- mushrooms, zucchini, onions, peppers, just yum!

The lemon drop was sent back- 22222 sweet. Overall, good, attentive customer service and quality food.

This restaurant wasn't too bad. I was able to eat lots of chips and salsa. My burrito was pretty good. The customer service was efficient and attentive. The ambiance is casual but a little noisy. Food is on the pricier side for Mexican. I would still recommend this place.

Tonight the service was well horrible, Alejandro P was horrible, never checked on me who oreded a 15 drink a 31 dollar dinner, only the females at end of bar. PS I'm a cutie, I just don't flirt when I want drink and dinner. I ask for a spoon to bag my own dinner and this fool doesn't give me a real spoon a plastic one. WtF. I ate with real utensils. The fish was also over cooked this time for me but I'll let yall judge.
