La Penca Mexican Restaurant offers a vibrant dining experience with a warm atmosphere, making it a fantastic spot for authentic Mexican cuisine. The service is lovely and the employees are always nice and welcoming. The food is often finger-licking good, with popular dishes including the chori pollo with corn tortillas, which is well-portioned and flavorful, and the costillas verdes, which is spicy and delicious. Guests also enjoy the enchiladas verdes, chimichanga, and taco dinners, all praised for their deliciousness. The atmosphere is chill, with background music and a TV at the bar, contributing to a relaxed dining experience. The restaurant provides wheelchair accessibility through a ramp leading to additional tables. Despite some criticisms about store-bought guacamole, generic salsa, flavorless tacos, and quesadillas with questionable cheese quality, the restaurant's monster margaritas and great margarita specials stand out. Clean space and friendly staff make La Penca a decent option for those in the area, especially for anyone feeling hungry in Verona.
