Taqueria Las Pencas #2

Great authentic taqueria nestled surrounded by culture and latin restaurants. Can't beat the prices and quality of food served by family style staff.

Taqueria Las Pencas #2 on North B Street in San Mateo offers an appealing introduction to Oaxacan cooking alongside familiar Mexican favorites. Tlayudas, memelitas, Oaxacan enchiladas, and empanadas give the menu a regional identity that encourages a little exploration. We like having several distinctive preparations to choose from, whether the visit starts with a craving for tacos or something less familiar. Mole, tamales, and Oaxacan quesadillas provide additional directions, while chicken and beef soups offer a comforting alternative. Lamb barbacoa and shrimp tacos broaden the taco selection, and a vegetarian burrito keeps a familiar meatless option in the mix. With sides such as guacamole and refried beans, Las Pencas makes it easy to build a casual meal around a personal favorite or a shared selection.
