Penca
Penca is an upscale Mexican restaurant and bar known for its agave-based cocktails and creative taco offerings including a vegan chile relleno taco. The dining space features a chic, dimly lit ambiance with sidewalk outdoor seating, but loud street noise can impact outdoor diners. Reviewers praise standout items like house-made tortilla chips, esquites corn, and cocktails such as the diablo, though some mention limited vegan dishes and occasional menu item shortages, especially during dinner hours.
