La Penca Azul - Alameda

This Alameda restaurant is a favorite spot for my family. It offers the same great menu selection as the Park Street location, but with a more relaxed atmosphere and convenient parking. We enjoyed dining outdoors by the water and the friendly staff made our experience even more enjoyable.

I have been to many Mexican restaurants, but not all of them are authentic. However, La Penca Azul is truly authentic. The rice is perfectly cooked, the beans are cooked well and taste great, the green sauce is awesome, and the chips with red sauce dip are delicious. On top of that, the customer service is great.

The chicken Mole was perfectly in season! The other dish, the taco enchilada with chili relleno, was excellent. The restaurant is a beautiful place to dine, with the option to sit outside overlooking the oceanfront. There is plenty of parking available and they also serve alcoholic drinks.

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

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! Carlos then shakes up the drink again without putting fresh ice in a cup. Once again its watered down. Carlos was being very rude and discriminatory towards me and I frequent this location a lot for lunch. I have never felt so disrespected and insulted in my life. Carlos needs to be demoted and another person in place that actually cares about making drinks.
