Las pencas is a staple in SSF neighborhood. One if our go to spots for al pastor tacos or carne asada burritos. I like how they always provide chips and salsa with your order. The green salsa from here is my favorite, always spicy! The staff is always friendly and service is fast even when they are busy. Every time ive been they are always going around and cleaning the tables. Plenty of paid parking outside. If we can't make it in, we always doordash and they are good at following any specific instructions we request.

Las Pencas is the best!!! The employees are so sweet! The food is so authentic and delicious!!! The ambience ance is so charming! I had the Mole Negro and it was superb! Served with homemade tortillas, what's not to like! Definitely have to try it!!

This is probably a superior pastor burrito. Great flavor and that mix of soft bits and crispy bits that makes pastor so good. There's sort of a little parking spot out front that you can use if you've already called your meal in that is pretty convenient.

Food is consistent and the flavor is always on point, and the service is decent. We order religiously from them it is part of our weekly routine.

Visited several taquerias in the area, but first time at Las Pencas. Portions were pretty decent for the price. There were many things I wanted to try, but hubs and I decided to share the following: 1) Gorditas arrived first. Ordered them with Al Pastor. They were crispy and piping hot. Probably the dish I enjoyed most. However, one was pretty filling. 2) Tacos w/ tripas- extra crispy. Another good one. 3) Menudo - kinda plain when eating this after the gorditas and tacos since the other two were stronger in flavor. Big bone with cartilage in the broth, which hubs liked. Hubs and I were quite stuffed after. Observed someone eating the Tlayuda while we were there, which looked really interesting. I'd want to try that the next time I'm there.

What I love about Las Pencas is they're always fast if I need my order, ASAP. If I'm feeling real hungry, I go with their super burritos. The super burritos are nice. They're not as huge like Farolito's right on Grand, but they're pretty smack. They're packed with flavor with all the ingredients, carne asada can be a little more juicy though. This is one of the few burrito spots where I can finish it all, and feel pretty good right after. I don't feel too stuffed eating after. 8/10. Plenty of seating inside. Perfect spot if you're smacked over at Hometown Heroes.

I just wanted to take the time and say, I had a special request for my burrito, the woman working said they usually don't do it and asked the kitchen. They said yes and it made my day. My burrito was soo good, hot, fresh and 10/10. The salsa is very flavorful and delicious as well. I highly recommend this place and I am now a regular here. Thank you. The inside is gorgeous and definitely a place to sit and enjoy your food. Bathroom was clean, no complaints.

Simple decor, excellent food. Been here multiple times before writing this review, because I wanted to make sure that the first few items I tried weren't a fluke. No joke, everything I've tried here has been excellent. The people are friendly & service has been very good. There are similar places closer to my house, but this is well worth the extra 5 minutes drive.

Delicious burritos and tacos here. When I have a craving for a burrito and I'm in the area, I will order it from here. The portion size is so big that I eat only half, and save the other half for later. 10/10 would recommend.
