" I visited on a Sunday, and although it was busy, the service was quick and the staff were efficient. I ordered the pollo asado burrito, and while it was good, I expected it to be a bit spicier. Still, I appreciated the large portion size! " (*Curated Review*)

" I honestly didn't expect much after hearing mixed reviews, but I was completely blown away! The shrimp tacos were some of the best I've had, and the staff was friendly and attentive. I'm definitely recommending this place to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place never fails to impress! The shrimp ceviche was fresh and amazing, and the service was quick and friendly. Great hangout spot too. I'm coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is tasty but I found it to be a bit hit or miss. The tacos I ordered were flavorful, but the spicy salsa I got was bland, which was disappointing. I hope next time the flavors are more consistent. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Penelopes for years and it's always a great experience. The carne asada fries are a must-try, but the star for me has been the quesabirria tacos. The staff is always friendly and the place has a welcoming vibe. Can't beat it! " (*Curated Review*)
