Penelope's Mexican Food is a highly recommended restaurant for authentic Mexican cuisine. Known for its delicious Carne asada fries, Birria tacos, and flavorful burritos, this restaurant stands out among many taco shops. The San Diego fries are especially noted, even when enjoyed in a burrito. The service is friendly, and while it may be slower at times, customers appreciate the overall experience. The fish tacos and enchilada combo remain popular choices, and many enjoy the potato tacos, chilaquiles burrito (spicy), birria nachos, rolled tacos, and quesadillas. Additionally, Penelope's Mexican Food offers an exceptional michelada. The restaurant's bright and inviting atmosphere, both inside and out, adds to its charm, making guests feel welcomed with a hello and a smile. The lively environment, enhanced by friendly cooks who wave at customers, creates a local vibe. Customers often praise the combination #5 as their go-to, and emphasize that everything on the menu is worth trying. The food is consistently good, with sauces and burritos described as "fire," and the portions are large. The staff, including Jasmine, provide top-tier customer service, making the experience even better. Penelope's Mexican Food is a favorite for many, offering a delightful dining experience that keeps customers coming back and supporting a caring small business.
