Waited about 5-10 mintues for my order, 5 steak tacos and an order of birria tacos. (Steak taco-$3 and taco birria with cheese-$12) Given that I ordered a birria taco... I assumed consomme was included. Oh how I wish I should've check... it was my fault and not theirs. Considering the price and the taste, I would go back 100% and next time... I will also order consomme.

I love tacos El Pingüino! Their tacos are so good and delicious! They are very consistent! Their salsa verde and roja are so fresh and tasty. My favorite tacos are lengua, suadero, al pastor! Tostada de Tinga is so delicious too! Their prices are super affordable! Highly recommended it! I can’t wait to go back again!

Me and my husband love the food but they should listen more to what people order, 2 our of 10 times they would listen on “no onions to the tacos” but beside that great taste and horchatas are super good.

Hands down the BEST freaking tacos on the island! I've been coming here every Sunday for about a month. The tacos are amazing!! They are reasonably priced as well. If you come, make sure to bring cash as thats the only form of payment they accept.
