I went here on a recommendation from a co-worker. The albondigas soup is awesome. They’re liberal with the chips, the salsa is good. It’s on the south end of downtown so it’s a little quiet, which I prefer. They also have a liquor license

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!

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!

Came on a Thurs afternoon for lunch takeout. Pretty busy, tables were available to seat. Staff was attentively quick to serve and amicable. Ordered a chorizo burrito and it was good albeit was inundated with grease which made the eating experience messy. Establishment was clean.

Great home made food! Hand made tortillas flour and corn! Great home taste dishes shredded chicken is tender and full of flavor. Soups taste almost as good as my father in laws! Place is small and could use a make over to be prettier but its hard to find authentic food this good! This small place is the definition of a “hole in the wall” but in the best way!! Their specialties are NOT to be missed. No dedicated parking but easy to access. There is a bathroom and a bar and highchairs. They do normally take cards but were cash only today

Had the fajitas mix plate with fresh tomatoes jalapeños and onion sautéed with beef and shrimp … too bad only get 3 handmade tortillas with order… the chile relleno was too soggy with too much salsa on top it for my taste… their michelada and horchata were on point
