read moreLa Penca Azul is a Mexican restaurant offering a mix of hits and misses on their menu. Some dishes like tacos, quesadillas, and enchiladas are solid while others, like fried fish, can be better seasoned. The staff is always friendly and helpful, providing a welcoming atmosphere. However, some patrons have experienced issues with portion sizes and prices, feeling that the value for money is lacking in some cases. On a positive note, the restaurant is praised for its generous portions, with some customers getting multiple meals out of a single order. While there may be some inconsistencies in the dining experience, La Penca Azul is favored for offering a wide variety of options and combinations in a Chipotle-style setup. Visitors traveling to Alameda are recommended to try out this restaurant for a satisfying Mexican food experience.
