They got part of our order wrong but they were willing to fix it with no issues. I did have to go back in the store multiple times because i placed a pick up order but the customer service was great and they were able to take care of my issue immediately

We ordered catering for a large group of 140 people. We order street taco trays and all the accompaniments. Everything was fresh and so delicious! All trays were ready for our pick up time. Everyone was very professional. Thank you! We will be back!

La Penca Azul has the best Mexican food In Alameda. I come here to eat with my family and friends and I enjoy my dinner every time. I usually order the street tacos, or tamale dinner. Good flavor In the steak tacos very authentic and the Tamale plate has a very good green sauce on it, love the beans and rice too. I would say maybe work on the service, no utensils one time and are waitress was not checking In on us and took a while to get are bill. Good food, give them a try!
