Definitely in my personal top 5 list for quickly served yet still great quality Mexican serving within & around the Belpar/Hills-&-Dales/N. Canton area. Always delicious, attentively serviced and relaxing with an easy-going type of feel. Never left here disappointed as far meals are considered. A bit cramped feeling in size and the bar + cocktails leave much to be desired unfortunately. Quite light handed when it comes to the actual alcohol content when mixing drinks or pouring up shots. To compound matters further here, the bar also isn't cheap or even fairly priced (compared to most other bars in the area that is)...mixed drinks are weak and if you complain about this you will eventually get a real pour in your cocktail but may be unpleasantly surprised come bill and checkout time..because it's pricey for sure. Especially when compared to other very casual places like itself. And while the beer is on point price wise, the selection is sadly barren of anything higher potentcy or craft (IPA etc). Nothing new there bc for some reason unknown to me almost every NE Ohio Mexican dining joint is and always has been devoid in the craft beer dept. Oh well mystery for another day i suppose ?. I digress; But back to the review at hand... Las Penas. Solidly consistently great food and service. And frankly as long as one chooses to stay with simple draft beers and/or whatever frozen margarita flavors are recommended that day by the server, everything else is fantastic. Las Penas is a super affordable, super tasty choice. Also i must say that this place is great for sharing and family style eating, since every entree seems to have been inspired and served up like it is literally made to be shared! (big portions with serving/plating styles that suggest & facilitate sharing across the whole table. 12 inch Burritos made for 2 and so on..) A staple for me and my whole family as far as local fast casual Mexican goes! Just a chill little spot to eat a quick lunch on a busy day. But also and even better (IMO) if it's a spontaneous or unplanned easy going dinner with whoever just happened to text you wanting to know about meeting up while you just sat down to have a beer type of situation.
I have wanted to try this place since it opened and finally had the chance. I have never been so underwhelmed in my life.- For reference we love Los Tios in Dalton, El Vaquero in Columbus and Fiesta Acapulco in North Canton.- the salsa was over blended soup with some spice- the rice and beans were so bland I added pepper to them to find some flavor- the taco meat was disgusting and left a bad taste in my mouth (possibly rancid)- I ordered a Chalupa. It ended up being a flat corn tortilla chip like thing (tostada) covered in lettuce, tomatoes and guacamole. It was not what I had expected or wanted.- The cups were dirty or looked like they still had lip prints on them.- the service was slow and with only 2 tables taken in the place the employees spent their time on their phones or laying down in the boothI'm genuinely confused because the majority of the reviews and pictures are really good. I'm so disappointed and feeling nauseous from my experience. I wouldn't even take what we didn't eat home to give to my dog.

Everyone who works here is so friendly and helpful. The service is amazing—speedy and the food is always hot and delicious. My favorite appetizer is the steak fries. They come loaded but aren’t soggy like you often get at other restaurants.
Great food, kind staff. After eating at Las Peñas, my family won't eat Mexican anywhere else. So good.

extremely expensive delivery when im only 8 min away from the place. just wanted 3 tacos and they were asking for almost 15$ delivery fee when they said it would be 5$ on the homepage.
HORRIBLE. Literally smells like raw sewage. Had I not already ordered I would've left.Called back because my order was wrong and she argued literally telling me "you should know what you're ordering when you order" because I only specified that I wanted beef nachos instead of the chicken they came with. EVEN THOUGH I tried explaining that I said "just beef" and the person taking my order repeated "just beef right?" to which I replied "yes".It was still wrong because I'd requested everything on the side which didn't happen either. So by the time I got home it was slop full of things I don't eat. Kids didn't care for theirs either. It's just no??Do yourself a favor and go around the corner.

My first visit was superb. Birria Tacos was delicious. Price is decent. One slight issue is wife ordered the Seafood Enchiladas Tuscarawas and the menu only mentioned crab meat and not shrimp and she’s allergic. Menu needs updated so definitely make sure you ask what’s in what you order but staff was informed on the situation.Staff super friendly. I highly recommend!

Ordered online and paid online and was charged an extra “convenience” fee. Showed up to the restaurant 25 minutes later to pick up my food and they said their tablet was dead and they didn’t have an online order. So they had to take my order and start making it after I showed up. This is the second time I’ve attempted to order online from them and this is the second time that I’ve had this same exact outcome, without as much as an apology or anything. Waste of money and time, especially with the extra “convenience charge” of ordering online and not having to order inside and wait on your food to go.After they read my order from my phone and wrote it all down, then made all of my food. They still got my order wrong, and didn’t give me the cheese dip that I paid for
