Restaurant Details
If you love Mexican food but are looking for something different, Penca is a great option. This tiny downtown eatery brings the flavors of Mexico City to the Old Pueblo. The wide choice of taco fillings includes tongue, nopalitos and turkey. The tortillas are made to order, and the sides go way beyond refried beans. Although the list of entrées is limited, the dishes are delicious, with the chile en nogada a prime example. The cocktails are excellent and the vibe is urban chic. And the music could cause flashbacks of time spent deep in the heart of Mexico. (6-20-13)
