- Good to know
- Penca downtown offers a warm, rustic-yet-elegant atmosphere with exposed brick walls and vintage accents. The dining room features industrial-chic elements and large windows that fill the space with natural light during the day. Guests can also enjoy al fresco dining on the sidewalk patio. Their menu features refined and elevated Central Mexican cuisine, including traditional chile rellenos. The Tuétano highlights roasted bone marrow with epazote, chimichurri, and flour tortillas. Make sure to try the Rajas y Papas tacos (queso, chipotle crema, avocado crema, green onion) or the Guajolote (turkey, red cabbage, and chipotle crema).
