Michael Felton

This place was amazing! I had the Breakfast Torta with pork and fresh squeezed orange juice and it was amazing! I can't wait to go back there! The service was friendly and the atmosphere was great!

Emily

churros are amazing! delicious! breakfast options are very tasty as well ! We chose Penca based on a foursquare tip bc we were looking for breakfast tacos but they don't have any, fyi. still awesome!

Eleanore Leichtenberg

First time here, sat at the bar and had the carnitas tacos . Delicious authentic mexican cuisine brought to Tucson. The mezcal is really good, too. Coming back here, definitely! Try it :)

Drew Bennett

Drinks, chips , chicherron...everything up to the entree was great. The main event : just so-so. But overall a decent atmosphere and excellent service.

Chanda Parbhoo

Great place - don't order the tres leche - it's stacked up in a jar and you can't enjoy the layers - too much cream and not enough cake

Jacquelynn Buck

Sangria here is eclectic - try red, white and rose (with chile flakes !)

Larry Bodine

Stuffed pepper is excellent. Also get the flourless chocolate cake - really good - a cross between fudge and cake

Quinton Price

Absolutely amazing food and service. Will come back! Try the Tree Leches desert - it is to die for!

Michele Schmidt

Fish tacos were awesome. Loved the salsa verde . Amazing tequila flights. Try the elevation with blanco tequilas .

Randy Lariar

Great happy hour deal for a selection of delicious small plates .

K Vela

Wonderful food and beautiful ambiance! Ordered the chile en nogada it was very good but FYI it is served room temp!

Nathan Hicks

Best flan ever: caramel made with reduction of chile-infused reposado tequila . A-maz-ing.

Joakim

Authentic Mexican cuisine with a flair, very modernistic environment. Great service. Try the chicharones ..

Jennifer  Kim

Those corn tortillas are heavenly---thick, handmade ! Go for a dish that uses them, like the tacos .

David Smith

It is a really good restaurant , however it is horrible for parties larger than 4. Twice we have had reservations for 6 and both times we were sat 20+ mins past our reservation time.

Gary Miller

Delish sangria . Both are unique. Try both

David Smith

Tacos are good, but there is a bowl on the menu that is amazing

Diana R.

Loved the salads to share, the tequila tasters , the chile relleno and more!

Jacquelynn Buck

Just stick with the tacos . They're always good. I deviated this time and ordered $20 fish that was flavorless, came only with black beans and they didn't bring chips and salsa . Kinda disappointed .

Joel Bloomquist

Be careful.. The made on site chips are so tasty, you'll ruin your appetite!

Lena Crimz

Tacos are so good with handmade corn tortillas

Diana R.

I've been coming here since the late '90's when I lived in Tucson and worked at ADEQ. The patio area is always great for brooding over a cup of joe (Cowboy Coffee), and having your dog at your side. - FrecklesUSA
