i thinka i won't go backa to penca. i never got to the main menu because the young man waiter who waited on us couldn't make his mind up if he wanted to serve us the happy hour menu or the main menu. we finally settled with the happy hour menu because he was very non-communicative. when 1 salad arrived, i was given my friend's salad and wolfed it down before i realized it wasn't the one i ordered. i did think it was strange because i was clear i wanted bell peppers on it and would pay for it. the turkey soup was cold, so i had to send it back, and then it came back too hot. we also ordered corn tacos and the waiter never said if they're soft or hard shell tacos. i wanted hard shell and i forgot to ask him, because tacos are usually hard shell. but, guess what? they were soft, but tasty though, but could have had more meat.
what really bothered us (and we're not uptight by any means) was the loud south-of-the-border music that sounded like a big party was going on of 100 or 200 people, and there were only 3 people in the restaurant!
our waiter never really returned after the wrong salad given and another more professional woman came, but by then we were ready to leave. the ice tea was given in a glass that looked more like tall skinny shot glass, and of course he didn't think to bring us any sweetener, so we had to get up and get it. the salad could have definitely had more ingredients in it for anybody. the one that i originally ordered didn't look much better, except that it did have my bell peppers. the waiter never offered bread, so we ordered a tortilla, which was stale. i don't know how they can serve a stale tortilla, but they managed to do it.
i've heardgoodthings about this restaurant; that's why i went there. but maybe the management went on vacation or something. i don't think i'd take a chance on going back though.
