A few teachers and I from a local Christian school took the Spanish classes for a field trip. The service was patient and fantastic. They helped the kids order in Spanish as it was part of their grade for the day. The food was exceptional and prepared quickly. For having a group of around 30, they got us in and out in about an hour. Great local restaurant!

I was visiting the area tonight when my friends recommended Los Pinguinos, and I’m always down for a good Mexican restaurant! I loved the decor and the staff was really friendly. They made sure we were always taken care of! I got three tacos while my friends got the bowl and chimichangas (I believe). The food was absolutely delicious! I would definitely recommend checking these guys out!

We've been here twice since they opened. My husband loves the chile relleno. He also loves the fajita quesadilla. For myself, I get the shredded chicken street tacos. Very good. Great service.

Ordered the Birria Pizza, and it did not disappoint. Was big enough to fill two people, and the chori queso is absolutely amazing.We ordered a pick up order and it was quick and the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful.Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great Mexican restaurant.

Very happy there's finally a Mexican restaurant in close proximity to where we live! Their food is reminiscent of Grand Azteca on Grosebeck in Fraser before it went downhill. They have a large menu, plenty of options to choose from. It's a fairly small building, but we didn't have to wait to be seated at 5:30 on a Monday night. If I had a negative comment to make, it'd be their salsa they bring to the table was lacking in a good salsa flavor & their chips I'm pretty sure weren't house made & were equivalent to what you'd buy at any grocery store flavorwise. My meal was fantastic & it was the same thing I used to order at Grand Azteca, the Burrito Perez. It was loaded with chorizo & about six large sized shrimp on the top with a yummy white cheese sauce. Inside was tender steak, the chicken was tasty & so was the rice (I omitted the beans). I also ordered a side of grilled onions, which were flavorful. Hubby got their nachos with ground taco flavored beef, which he said was very salty to him. The establishment was very clean & our server as well as the rest of the employees were very friendly & attentive. Highly recommend trying this place out, because you won't regret it!
