La Penca Azul

Amazing Mexican food in Alameda. Great place to go with family or friends for lunch or dinner , or even a drink at the bar .

My no1 Mexican restaurant in alameda! Everything is good and big portion ! Go for tacos cheap and del koja! Go for dinner plate if you are a big eater!

Great food! Great drinks! Great Lunch specials ! They don't seem to know about the foursquare check-in special though(3 check-ins for 1/2 off appetizer ). I did get it, after much difficulty though.

Loved it. HUGE portions , everything was fantastic. Service ruled. Extensive drink list. Make a reservation though, it's busy.

Their prickly pear margarita is strong and flavorful -- it's. Best of its kind I've had and I grew up in AZ, with prickly pear everything.

Top-shelf margaritas are a go-to at this neighborhood gem : and they have them by the pitcher !

Order the guacamole they have three different types we had the chorizo today. So good!

Super famoso burrito , pescado (deep fried fish ) and the street tacos

Huge menu! Get a margarita to read through it. Great combinations. Excellent chips and salsa . Guacamole is just okay.

Mojito's here are the best. And Sunday brunch is the best I've ever had

Tortilla soup is fantastic! Even the cup is a hearty meal . Big chunks of vegetables and chicken .

Great flavors, fast service , big lunch portions . What's not to like?

Great shredded chicken burrito + unlimited complimentary chips and salsa = win.

Awesome food and lively atmosphere .

Unless you're with 4 friends, a half pitcher of margaritas is probably enough. The glasses are small.

Humongous nachos and burritos

Everything I've had here is amazing but the Blackberry Margaritas are a must!

The street style tacos are excellent, and a good price. (Carnitas is my fav)

I totally recommend, if you and your family ever want to eat Mexican food head over too ISLAND TAQUERIA !

Order takeout and grab a tall Pacifico at the bar while you wait.

If you're going to get the nacho fries , split them with someone. u wont be able to finish them solo

Very overwhelming selection of authentic Mexican food

Great margaritas and pescado

The tacos al pastor as great!

The complimentary salsa is excellent, but the tacos got my bro sick, and the mole enchiladas were just meh.

Best Sunday Buffet anywhere around here!!

Try the Tavio's special for breakfast ! Large enough to share.

Try the fideo con albondigas (spaghetti and meatballs ) on the newly updated menu. Delicious!

Mole enchiladas are the best I have had outside of Mexico

Nice menu, waitress was nice but the food is extremely spicy

Love their Super Famoso burritos . Big and delicious

Try the Mint Mojito - Love the sugar cane garnish ! Q

Love the street tacos !

The La Penca Azul Margarita Mix is AMAZING!!!

Try the whole pescado ! Definitely bring a friend. It's a lot to eat!

Order the guacamole - it's the best!

Massive tequila selection

Try the shrimp quesadillas . Hellas good and more than enough to eat as an entree.

Reliable Mexican food .

Love the fish tacos .

Always sit at the back, right side where my fave Esteban serves ;)

Good food with big portions but pretty pricey ... We weren't that impressed

50% off house margaritas during happy hour ! 3 p.m. - 6 p.m..

The only thing that is fine is tequila

The Mexican place I've ever been to

Combo fajitas . HOT and healthy.

one fajita is enough for two- or tomorrow's lunch !

Amazingly, everything is sub-par here. Guac is watery, meat is bland, margs are nothing special.

Try El Jefe Margarita it's really smooth!

Never will I ever go to this place again! Ever... this place smelled bad from the moment we went in! Ever heard of term (GREY WATER!)
