I ordered 3 Tacos with beans and rice on the side. I got 3 tacos with beans and guacamole on the tacos. I hate guacamole. Not very happy. The woman taking my order clearly doesn't understand English in America.

Perfect spot for some traditional Mexican dishes. I loved the enchiladas and the caldo de res. Some other items worth mentioning: the horchata and concha’s. Be sure to try the pozole and menudo on the weekend's!

At OCP and needed some quick food to quench the hunger. Had about 30 minutes including the walk to and from the convention center. Found this place down the street. From Texas so we have an eat a lot of Mexican food. Ordered the light lunch chicken taco plate. It was 3:30 and you can still order the light lunches. Very good soft chicken taco. The beans were good as was the rice. Good stuff . Nice lady serving. Definitely a small place worth eating.

I’m visiting from Texas and had such a great experience at Penita Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavor, fresh, and cooked perfectly. You can really taste the love and authenticity in every dish. The service was warm and welcoming, which made the whole meal even better.
If you’re in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by. As someone from Texas who appreciates good food, I can honestly say Penita did not disappoint!

Live downstairs from this place 10/10 for food and service. Hole in the wall with select hours.

Best Cocido! Add to that homemade corn tortillas and fresh squeezed oj. The service can be slow as it's a small restaurant with one woman running the front and maybe 2 cooks. She is also very chatty with customers.

I just wanted to share a fantastic find with you. There's this amazing restaurant in San Jose that serves the most authentic Mexican cuisine. Despite its humble appearance, the food is absolutely genuine and delicious. My personal favorite is the Cocido de Res, which, believe it or not, even surpasses my mom's recipe. I totally recommend giving this place a try. The only thing is, I wish they would extend their operating hours.

The food was very delicious… my order was deviled shrimp, spicy by the way. The freshly made corn tortillas are the best. Highly recommended…

A friend brought me here for the first time. I had the beef Soup? It was delicious. They serve a big portion. With homemade tortillas. I will definitely be back. And I would definitely recommend this place.
