La Peña Mexican Restaurant is a gem tucked away on Indianola Ave! 🌮

The moment I stepped in, I felt the cozy, casual vibe. Their homemade tortilla chips were the best I’ve tasted, and the tacos - so juicy and flavorful! The steak was tender, and I couldn't get enough of the spicy salsa.

Don’t let the unassuming appearance fool you; this place serves authentic Mexican food at great prices. Perfect for family meals or solo dining. Definitely coming back for more...!
