" Honestly, this taquería is the real deal! The flavors are so authentic; they remind me of visiting my grandma’s house in Mexico. I ordered the mole and was blown away by the depth of flavor. The only downside was that my server seemed overwhelmed, but the quality of the food makes up for that. I definitely plan to return and bring friends along to share this hidden gem!

" Had an amazing time at Taquería las Pencas! The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff were incredibly kind. I had the super burrito and it was simply delicious, filled with a generous amount of carne asada. The horchata was also perfect – creamy and refreshing. I was really impressed by the freshness of the ingredients too. Highly recommend this spot, I will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
