Shrimp cocktail 10/10 Chicken taquitos 10/10

This restaurant is family-owned. It is self-service. You walk up to the counter to place your order. I was hoping to get a glass of water, but all drinks are bottles for purchase. Luckily, I had 2 fresh water bottles in a cooler in my car. Parking is very convenient, just in front of the restaurant. The people working here are very welcoming. The seating was comfortable. (Please see photo's below.) The food was excellent! Will definitely be back!!!

This place is a little hidden gem. The service is so genuine and friendly. Amazingly delicious flavorful chile rellenos I'm very picky with chile rellenos and this is by far the most delicious chile rellenos I've had. It taste homemade. My son had the asada burrito and he also was impressed, the size, flavor and freshness of the burrito. We had agua frescas Jamaica an agua de pepino really delicious and refreshing. It's so peaceful and quiet. You feel the love that family has working together.

Beautiful, huge, and fresh battered fish and shrimp tacos!!!

Great first experience. Service was friendly. We ordered to go and were not disappointed! Flavor, presentation, and the price for the portion sizes are 5 stars for me. We'll be back to try more menu options :) I just wish they added more that 1 lemon slice on the side. Wasn't enough for me and my two tacos personally but not upset about it since I always have some at home.

My son was super happy with Peña's food & service!

We hired Pena's to cater our son's graduation party and I cannot say enough great things about them! Arturo and his team make fantastic food - everybody raved about the quality! All the tacos were out of this world, and they even make their own tortillas on site! Pena's supplied all the cooking equipment, condiments, paper plates, and utensils so it made hosting so much easier. I will definitely use them again, as will many of our guests. Highly recommend!

Taco bar and the sweet chefs!  Fresh tortillas!  Yummmmm!

We had a 16th birthday party for my daughter and Pena's Tacos did the catering! They were amazing, they set up cooked and broke down! We had Chicken, Beef and Pastor...they provided the utensils, plates and napkins! It looked awesome, such a professional set up! The food was awesome! Tacos, burritos and quesadillas....so delicious! Highly recommend! Thank you for making our party a delicious one!

Are the potato tacos mashed potatoes?

We just hired them for a party - forgot to ask if they will bring their own tables for set-up. I'll call later but just curious if anyone here knows?

What's the number to order? This number on here goes straight to voicemail

A couple weeks ago, I called too and it went straight to voicemail. But since I was nearby, I went in the lot and they were open.

Do they deliver?

Unfortunately not.

Whats the difference between the traditional burrito and the burrito loco?

Size difference

The food was outstanding, flavorful, & exceeded our expectations. We ordered the Cauliflower Sandwich w/Fries & Cauliflower Wings with mild heat sauce. It was perfect! The service was just as amazing because Jesus took great care of us & made the whole experience even better. He was friendly, helpful, patient & gave great recommendations.

Food was good (according to my friend who regularly orders from here). It looked good too bad service was bad. The employee helping me, Jesus, had an AirPod in, barely acknowledged me, and made me repeat parts of the order multiple times. When I asked for one sauce, he rolled his eyes at me because apparently one was already included. I've never been here before. How would I know? A simple "one sauce is included" would've been enough. After I paid, he walked away without giving me a receipt, estimated wait time, anything!! Thankfully, the other employee who brought out my food was sweet! I was going to order food for myself too, but at that point I didn't bother. I went across to Thai Avenue instead and received GREAT service there. Jesus really needs to work on his attitude and customer service. Maybe he was busy with Togo orders, but please communicate wait times or say I'm sorry I'm short staffed now...Maybe it was a bad day, but there was no reason to make a first-time customer feel like an inconvenience. Literally felt like HELL.

Food 1000/10 Service 10/10…read moreAmbiance 10/10 Okay I just finished literally eating my food and I usually wait to write reviews when I'm alone but this deserved immediate attention because WTF! Okay so I also got something else called suchi or chuchi sandwich with chimichurri sauce and clearly we didn't get a picture. To begin with it's located on the corner of the street so parking everywhere you walk in and already know you're going to get quality fresh food and sure enough the service and food and vibes were immaculate I'm for sure coming back very soon. They have an amazing menu stop by and check it out urself.

Been here several times and the food here is good. Most of the people are nice, though I've seen…read moreothers have issues. The issue is they are very overpriced. I use to take this as the cost of supporting mom and pop shops as they tend to have slimmer margins than a corporate entity. But it's gotten pretty ridiculous. Sandwiches are expensive and recently had a bad experience with buying cookies. They charged $20 for a dozen cookies. Nothing special, just regular chocolate chip cookies. The last time I purchased a dozen, several years back. it was $9 for a dozen. That's expensive too, but again, took it as supporting small business. And back then you'd get them on a little styrofoam plate with some saran wrap around it. This made it look somewhat presentable. Now they just throw them in a regular old ziplock bag like you're at a bake sale for an elementary school. They have also gone the way of a lot of counter service places in that they've added a tip line. And there's no way to bypass on their system, so you have to make a big deal about it or just tip no matter what. I've always been a good tipper, but the tipping culture has gotten out of control. I just can't justify $75 for a couple sandwiches, 2 small bags of chips, and a dozen cookies. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

When I brought the discrepancy to the employee's attention, she acknowledged that the posted price had not yet been corrected. Instead of addressing the pricing issue, she repeatedly offered me a 10% discount. I explained that I was not asking for a discount; I was simply asking for the advertised price to be honored. What was most disappointing was the way the situation was handled. The employee was dismissive and unprofessional, and as I drove away without completing my purchase, she yelled "OKAY" at me. Customers should be able to respectfully question a pricing discrepancy without being met with an attitude. If a business is aware that a posted price is incorrect, it should be corrected promptly and handled professionally when a customer brings it to their attention. Jack in the Box should provide additional customer service training at this location, particularly on professional communication and appropriately handling customer concerns. This interaction could have been resolved very easily and professionally, but unfortunately, it was not.

Menu online is not the right prices I took pictures so you can go by the updated pricing. The lady ask why I was taking pics and I explained price difference.

Our order came out pretty quick. Hand delivered to our table we were waiting at. Went up the street to eat. Looks good, tastes fine. Little dry I'm glad we ask for extra Italian sauce oil/ vinegar. We both only ate half. We tried what they are famous for and agreed if this is there best we won't be going back.

Not sure if it's ownership I'm not sure if it's management but definitely I'm aware of the supply difference... Quality sharp decline... And it could be the Trump years that Americans have had it too good for too long and now we have to settle for less and just smile and take it... I'm not blaming you to find shop and the folks at GMOs I'm just saying it sucks right now.. So instead of having white tuna it's now light tuna instead of being flaky and wonderful it's now a pace that comes out of a tube it feels like there's no onions chopped up in the soda there is smaller thinner bread... Beers are still good value though.. Good luck to us all.. It's just sad to see how the business fold and I think this is the telltale signs that it won't be much longer... Or things just need to change.
