Was Anonym at Penca a mag?
Our group enjoyed a wonderful meal at Penca. The food was outstanding, particularly the homemade corn tortillas. Everything we tasted was delicious, and the sangria was unique, yet refreshing and enjoyable. Definitely worth a visit. View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Penca:
This restaurant is wonderful, and we instantly loved the atmosphere as soon as we walked in.

Good food, okay at best service and found reservation system questionable. Tried to increase reservation from two to three and they told us they couldn't do it, totally full. We sat in a room with several open tables all during dinner.

Booked for Thurs night at 8:30. Place was crowded as a big party was anticipated in back room. Fairly short wait for drinks and 1st course. Very long wait for main meal. Overall food was just ok. Really liked the ambiance of the place just wish the food was better. Mushrooms accompanying fish dish were swimming in grease, sadly unedible!

Whoa my God the food (and tequila flights) here are so good. We sat at the bar and had great service. My only critique is the location on Broadway is incredibly unfriendly to people biking. We had to bike on the sidewalk from our hotel and there was nobike parking.

Lovely little upscale Mexican restaurant tucked away downtown with great food and service. Our appetizers and churros were lovely even with the peanut salsa. Aside from the table that tilted to the side, no complaints and bring thanks to Paula for agreat night. See you soon Penca!
