Delicious calamari -- hot and fresh!
And holy cow the amount of chips I got in my delivery order vastly exceeded my expectations!!
Carne asada super burrito was very good!
My taco and chile relleno combo was also hot and well balanced, tasted great!
La Penca Azul is an Alameda treasure!

The shrimp omelette was a 10 out of 10 experience, as the omelette is filled with succulent whole pieces of shrimp. And, more importantly, the portion sizes are

If you like big burritos then this is your spot. If you care about taste then I would pass. I've had the fish tacos here and they were amazing. The shrimp and carne asada burritos was not very good. The meat didn't have an authentic taste and the shrimp, while plenty, wasn't flavorful either. The burrito was mostly rice and the salsas were underwhelming.

Most likely I won't order again, Vegetarian Super Burrito was just full of rice, hardly 1-2% of veggies were there. It was like packed rice In tortilla. Hardly saw any beans there. Rice was good in taste with large portion, but again it was more like rice plate instead of burrito. Food was fresh & Salsa Verde was good.
