El Penjamo

El día de hoy visité a este restaurante. ordene unos huevos rancheros, y una horchata. estaba todo muy delicioso, sabrosito. Pero desafortunadamente a uno de mis familiares le salió un pelo largo negro adentro del plato.

Wow!!! I had a fajita, Tripa, and Pastor tacos. Everything I ate was great. The fideo and beans soup that they give out complementary was also good.
Atmosphere was so so. What can you expect for a hole in the wall in DH.

The food is great and authentic. Best Menudo and Mole in town… good food & great price. The only thing holding this place back is the building. The location is great, the décor screams Mexico but let’s face it it’s a hole in the wall that will only seat very few. But doesn’t the best food come from hole in the walls?

I love this place mostly for there tortas and enchiladas. Its a small mom and pop place and the food is pretty good but no tacos de julio. They usually serve a small cup of bean soup with small noodles… that is mainly y I like them so much lol I have never had better bean soup

one of the best menudos in houston. only thing i go there for.

Enough is enough.
El Penjamo is a restaurant that has fallen through the cracks/​fault lines of the U.S. and maybe even the Mexican border. Incidentally, it is located in Houston. Somehow, this restaurant has let it self to ruin, shame and lack of respect for quality Mexican prepared food and restaurant ambiance with a side of eye sore table and bench interior for starters.
Shameful.
Disrespectful.
Dishonorable.
These are the tenents of a nasty and disgraceful restaurant.
The local Jack ‘N The Box eateries rival El Penjamo. Jack you now are a formidable and honorary Mexican in my eyes. Welcome/​Bienvenido!
Mexican food and restaurant purveyors should be striped of their honorary badges and pins for allowing this restaurant to carry «El Penjamo» name and to hold its food licenses. El Penjamo is steeped heavily in failure.
My gravest concern and worry is for the local community and its neighborhood families with small children. There is a threshold where men, women and children should be protected and guarded from bad tasting food, and horrible wall painted Mexican scenery.
El Penjamo, enough is enough!
