Taqueria Las Pencas #1

Authentic Oaxacan cuisine featuring unique specialties like gorditas, mole negro, and tlayudas with homemade tortillas.

Taqueria Las Pencas #1 on Baden Avenue in South San Francisco gives an everyday Mexican meal a welcome Oaxacan direction. Gorditas, tlayudas, and Oaxacan tacos join the familiar burritos and quesadillas. We like having those regional choices alongside the quick, customizable staples of a neighborhood taqueria. The Taco Penca combines a soft tortilla with a crisp one, then adds beans, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, onion, and cilantro. The Quesadilla La Penca also emphasizes a crisp tortilla, with meat, cheese, and pico de gallo inside. Shrimp burritos and vegetable burritos broaden the options, while chilaquiles offer a breakfast choice. Its appeal is the mix of substantial handheld meals and Oaxacan specialties, with enough variety for both a usual order and something different.
