I used to like this place, but it has gone down. I went for a Taco Tuesday. There was very little filling in the tacos. They now also use mozzarella cheese for their cheese on the tacos. I noticed this difference. When I asked, it was confirmed. I wish all Mexican places would stop doing this! The prices are also very high for what you get on the regular menu. read more

I'm not gonna pretend like i know a lot about Mexican cuisine but what i can say is that their food is awesome no matter what you get and their wait time is not long AT ALL even if they are busy no ya this place is great if you're reading this go there read more

Good food and good service. We were. There in midafternoon so not busy. It didn't matter what time full service

I love finding new Mexican restaurants to frequent! This one happens to be close to my mom's house and I'm staying up here with her for a little while because she's having some health issues (please don't smoke, I'm telling you!). The staff is very friendly and efficient! They work hard to make sure everyone dining in, grabbing takeout, and using 3rd party delivery services are happy with their food and the timeliness. They also have some great specials! They have Margarita Mondays, as well as Taco Tuesdays (99¢ tacos!). On Tuesdays they also have piña coladas on special! While waiting on my takeaway order, I sat at the bar and had a piña colada. I watched her make it for me. They do not use some cheap piña colada mix. Nope! They literally blend up coconut juice, slices of fresh pineapple, and tequila, and then garnish with an additional fresh pineapple slice. Sooooo yummy! I think this may be my new Tuesday spot while I'm helping my mom! read more

My boyfriend and I selected this restaurant for Taco Tuesday night. The service was okay, the food was okay and the margaritas were decent.

Looks like a hole in the wall, but do yourself a favor and give it a try. The service is always friendly and fast. Servings sizes are HUGE and the food is great! read more

Tried Las Penas for the first time today after getting a deal where where got two $25 gift certificates ($50 total) for only $25. My wife and I both ordered 22 oz. draft beers (they called them "medium") and 12 inch Chori burritos. The beer came out in ice cold mugs with little foam. We were also given complimentary warm chips and salsa while we waited for our meal. The burritos came out very hot and fresh, with a variety of flavors that played well off each other. The rice was cooked just right, and the steak and chicken were tender and juicy, without being chewy. The small crumbles of chorizo really put this dish over the top, as did the hot white queso poured over the top. The "salad" of lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, and diced onions and tomatoes added a coolness to the heat (not spice) of the burrito. The best part was, we both had leftovers to take home for dinner later. Overall, the ambiance is about what you'd expect of a Mexican restaurant, meaning pretty casual. They had 2 big screen TVs, and both booth and table seating was available. Even if we didn't still have another $25 gift certificate to use, we would definitely still return to Las Penas read more

We all agreed that this was the most fresh, delicious margarita we've ever had. We ordered the cucumber jalapeño margarita and it was hand crafted by an amazing bartender. The food was fantastic as well. Will be visiting here again when in town! read more

The food is amazing, everyone in the restaurant is welcoming and kind. It is a great place to eat

This little Mexican restaurant is somewhere to go for variety. The menu is a little overwhelming for me with how many items they had. But, it's good to have options. We did take out, so I can't speak for what the restaurant looks like inside. My husband had a seafood dish, which he couldn't tell me exactly what it was. It came with a broth and then seafood in whole (like a full shrimp, including head and shell). He was not a fan of having to prep all the seafood, but he said the dish tasted good. My son got chicken fajitas. They were cooked well, and included a lot of stuff to put on them....but not tortilla shells. I had gotten the Speedy Gonzalez combo which was a chicken taco and a chicken enchilada. The taco was very basic but good, the enchilada the same. I wish there had been just a bit more of the sauce over it, but it was tasty. We have many more items to try here, so we will come back again. The prices are also really good as well. read more

Very friendly staff and really good food! We were in a hurry and everything was delicious, made to order, and efficient. We will definitely be back when we can stay a bit longer and relax with drinks and try some different items! read more

This restaurant is A-OK for me! I ordered the shrimp fajitas which came screamin' hot! Service was lightning fast too. My tortillas were hard and brittle on one side; perhaps they were left on the warmer too long? The salsa and guac were delicious. The guac was nice and chunky. The hubs ordered the taquitos which he said were good, but nothing to write home about. The menu was overwhelming. Too many choices...ahhh! Overall, this was a typical Ohio Mexican restaurant. Don't get me wrong, Las Penas had very tasty food, but there just wasn't anything super unique about it. read more

this restaurant is listed on Uber Eats, but ROUTINELY cancels orders! don't list your business on UE if you can't fulfill the order! I will NEVER order from this business again! read more

Complimentary chips and salsa were plentiful and the salsa was good. Our combo meals were average - beef enchilada was good, chicken enchilada was bland. Rice and beans were fine but not great. Friendly service but it took much quite awhile to get our food on a Tues when they weren't busy. read more

Dated outside and small inside but very good! Menu was well rounded. One of the few places around with Tacos al Gobernador and is a must pick for me. Food was excellent read more

Great place. Polite staff, but the food was really great. If you are used to the other Mexican restaurants around here then dont expect the food to be the same. It is much higher quality and better choices instead of just more choices. Highly recommended read more

Fast and friendly! Really good food. Chips & salsa were good. Ordered chimichangas, taquito and chicken quesadilla. I couldn't believe the portion size .. definitely worth the price. Would recommend. read more

We have both eaten in and ordered takeout. Each time we dine in, the food is terrific. But ordering takeout is a completely different experience. The food is not ready on time, it is always poor quality. Today we had a large chicken bone in the center of an entree. If you can't dine in, I would urge you to consider another option. read more

This is a truly superb a new place to the area. Excellent fresh food. You have to try the guacamole! I'm also impressed with how they cook their meats. Their beef and chicken are done properly. I'm assuming they slow cook everything, because it has extraordinary flavor. This is definitely one of the better Mexican restaurants in all of Ohio let alone Canton. Take a break from The Border and grab something real. read more

I'm from San Diego but I heard about this place from a friend of mine here in Canton. They've only been open a short time but I can tell you the food is great in the family that runs it is really warm and friendly. read more

Good service, very nice owner, amazing fresh muddled margaritas and barria tacos were phenomenal! Amazing experience and our waiter was so sweet! read more

This was our first experience at Las, Penas, and it certainly did not disappoint. In summary, it was a fiesta for the taste buds. The decorations are very neat, and many themed murals cover the walls. The service was fast and very friendly. Our drinks were never empty and the chips and salsa remained full for the whole meal. The food was so delish and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back! read more

Amazing food! I loved the food, we had the Mexican pizza and it was huge and delicious, the Huarache was to die for, and the specialty tacos that you dip in broth (can't remember the name) were delicious. Huge dishes! The margaritas were huge and I love my margaritas. After ordering one, I decided to get the handmade one, and boy do they really pack a punch, those won't disappoint either. In regard to the service, they were packed but our waitress, Veronica was attentive and speedy, the owner Pancho came to our table and was very welcoming, Francisco was our bartender and was very attentive as well. I am very hard to please when it comes to Mexican restaurants and needless to say, I'm giving up on all the others within 3 counties and will be back to my new favorite Mexican restaurant! read more

This is by far our favorite Mexican restaurant in town Their food is not your typical Mexican meal that comes out on a microwaved platter 5 minutes into your chips and salsa which by the way are fabulous. Chips come out warm and crispy. Please make sure you go there hungry you will definitely be leaving there with a belly full of great food and a to go box with what you couldn't finish. You have got to try this place you will not be sorry read more

Excellent fresh and made to order food. Great presentation of food. Staff was very friendly, place was clean and nicely updated inside. read more

Hubs and I tried this place out after seeing some awesome posts on FB. We were not disappointed! The cheese dip (queso blanco) was creamy and delicious. Our waiter kept our drinks full and the chips were warm and crisp. While the salsa was flavorful, it was not melt-your-face hot. I tried the Fajitas Las Penas (for $1 more I got chicken & steak). These are not your average fajitas! The plate came out sizzling with a skewer of grilled shrimp resting on a pineapple top. The chicken and steak were mixed with onions, peppers, yellow squash, zucchini, cauliflower and broccoli. (The only down-side was a bit of gristle on the steak.) It was served with a plate of creamy re-fried beans, rice, guacamole salad and flour tortillas. Two meals for the price of one! Hubs got the Hawaiian Burrito - a ginormous flour tortilla (12") stuffed with chorizo, chicken, steak rice, beans and fresh pineapple and covered in queso blanco. It made his eyes go wide, and my man can eat! We were too full to try any desserts, but I have a feeling this won't be our last visit to Las Penas! read more

Really torn on this one. Really good food, so-so feel from the place. Let me elaborate. Went at kind of an off time- 2:30 on a Friday, but still didn't expect to be one of two tables there. The only other table got up after we ordered and I was a little underwhelmed at the cleaning of the table (in these corona days). And also, I tried to order a margarita with my late lunch... but they don't have their liquor license. That's a huge bummer. The server sat across the small restaurant from us with her mask pulled down, sitting on her laptop until our food came. Which.. whatever, I guess. But I got the enchiladas suizas and they were really delicious. Food seemed fresh and was good. All in all, some good and some not-so good. read more

My girlfriend and I ate here on a Friday night around 8. Service was excellent. The food was good. Very nice atmosphere. Reasonable prices. There were not many people here due to the cold weather, which made for a nice visit here. Definitely would eat here again. read more

First time here and it was the cleanest restaurant I have been in. They made sure there were no dishes left on the tables sweeping the floors also. I am very impressed. As far as the food, everything came out hot and fast. The prices were good and everything looked appealing.. The only criticism was everything tasted very bland. Didn't like the salsa, guacamole or chips either. read more

Food is very great high quality compared to all other mexican places, cooked with love and care also super clean place! with wonderful people servicing you. You should definitely order some drinks here super amazing and sopes are amazing and can't really find those at some basic restaurant. Look if you come here don't try your basic fajitas try something NEW you wouldn't regret it. Love this place and will tell everyone about it read more

Food was on point! Service wasn't. Ordered a torta with pastor, two thumbs up. Came with fries they were greasy and flavorless and not crispy. But I didn't come here for those. Will definitely be back for the torta. read more

Ordered dinners to go tonight . Food was decent. Wasn't even close to what we ordered. Was told 20 minutes on the phone, got there and waited 15 minutes only to get a messed up order. Not very busy and seemed like they were not in sync at all. Maybe only dine in here and not order carry out. read more

I'm hooked on the food and service at this place. It is pleasantly decorated and very clean. The menu choices are extensive, the serving portions are large and everything is reasonably priced. I really enjoyed my Pollo Fundido while my son tried out their enchiladas. I'm not looking forward to when everyone else in town finds out just how great this food is compared to other choices in the area. I highly recommend it! read more

Super friendly staff, great food, generous portions Very reasonable prices. The chicken in my burrito was so tender and grilled to perfection. Everyone we were there with had something different and we all loved it. I can't wait to go back. Definitely recommend this restaurant. You won't be disappointed. read more

We loved coming to Las Penas for years. Here lately everything we order seems old and not fresh. It's a shame because I constantly crave pupusas and this is the only place close to us that makes them. Today we ordered a torta de carne asada and they skimped us on avocado. When ordering enchiladas I was told that rice and beans was two dollars more. Not sure if many are familiar with rice and beans but you can buy a pouch of rice and beans and cook them to feed your entire family so the markup is pretty ridiculous. We will be checking out La Raza next time which is only about 3 minutes away. Their prices are lower and their market is pretty decent. Comparable to La Michoacana in Dayton. It seems like the more popular Las Penas gets, the less fresh everything is. I understand that, because the demand is high they probably cook lots of stuff early in advance though it's still unacceptable. read more

We had a very pleasant dinner. There were four of us in our party and we all enjoyed our food. Our ordersccame out quickly and the server was very pleasant. read more

Absolutely awesome !! Great food best in area! Beautiful presentation and unique dishes. Staff is friendly.

I have never had anything but amazing service and delicious food at Las Penas. There are so many signature dishes that are awesome. Shame on you if you go here and just order tacos. Try something new, it will probably be your new favorite. I love this family and their restaurant. It is our go to place and we will always keep coming back!! read more

The exterior almost scared us away, but so glad we stopped! The food was of good quality and the place was super clean / neatly decorated. Guacamole was AMAZING and so fresh! Friendly service - give this place a try! read more

Friendly service. The food was excellent. They weren't serving margaritas yet but should be soon.
