I sacrificed my small water cup and filled it 1/4 - 1/3 the way. Perfect for my entree and side dish - suddenly this dude comes up in front of God and everyone just before I sat down to eat and says loudly, 'you can't do that!!!' I looked around to see who he was talking to and it was me! I said what are you talking about?? I ordered my entree and a side of 8 shrimp and I only get this thimble amount cup for my meal?? He said yes!! So I sat down and begged him to take my credit card then and take all the money they need! He refused - this was appalling and not by any means professional - it was embarrassing - made eating here misery - so got up and left - called the Caro store to see if it is true you only get the 1-2 Tablespoon size cup of salsa for your dinner and side dish - he said yes those are the rules. Clearly they know NOTHING about business in hospitality in a taqueria - absolutely insane and they are no longer trustworthy as a place to enjoy food.

Food: The food here is amazing. It's not flashy. It's not over the top, it's just simply amazing. It's the type of food that even though you've eaten until you're full, you keep eating because it just tastes soo good. Service: We have never had poor service here... ever. Our server (I don't know her name but she's always there), is super polite, very attentive, always goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need. Ambiance: The place is not over the top fancy or flashy. It's a relatively small place with interesting decorations everywhere you look. But the moment you step inside you immediately smell all the fantastic food being cooked, it literally fills the air because it's literally 15 feet away. I believe the chef and server are the owners and they bust their butts to prepare delicious food. When I walk to the register to pay I always tell the server how awesome everything was and tonight I even had a chance to let the chef know everything was just perfect. The smiles and thank you's I get in return are sincere and I know they appreciate the compliments. I would drive past just about any other Mexican restaurant around here to get to this place any day of the week. ANY of them.

To my knowledge, we were the first customers of the night. Our waitress was hospitable, very nice and welcoming. Upon sitting down, we were offered the trifecta of salsas. As pictured, red salsa, a green salsa and an orange salsa. The red was a mild spice and acidic. Not my favorite, but good. The green was very interested. Definitely some sweetness here and there, but a good burn going down your gullet. Finally, the orange salsa. For those with spice sensitivity, WATCH OUT!! Personally, I love spicy food, regardless of the side effects the next day. Heart burn, and you know what else... Anyway, I loved those salsas. I am going to call and order salsa so I can just have it at my house!! What can I say? I can be devious. The food. The old ball and chain for Quesabirria. I'll be honest, we were not blown away. The birria broth was good, but far from the best I've had. In addition, the quesadilla was good, I just wish it was dipped in the birria and then cooked. 6/10. My dish is pictured second, I'm sorry that I cannot remember the name. It was a chicken, beef, shrimp spicy fajitas meal. It was quite good! It looks really spicy, but it was actually pretty moderate. Beef was tender, shrimp was nice and taught! Chicken was buss. All in all, 7/10. The meal was fairly priced, and my finance and I had a nice evening. As you all painfully know, my lactose intolerance has really been an issue when going out to eat, but this place treated me well. I don't know when I'll be back, but I will be back. Yelpers, keep eating and reviewing. We are the voice of the people!

I'd only been here one time before, but I thought the food was excellent, & I knew they were pretty close, so I called. The sweetest young woman told me that they had $2 taco Tuesdays! Beef/chicken, soft/ hard shell. I was honestly so hungry, I took a bite of the middle 1 & that's why it's turned around, and doesn't look all that great. They were excellent. Those tacos were stuffed, I could only eat 1, brought the other 2, home. I didn't eat a whole lot of chips, either, but let's talk about the homemade salsa! Spicy perfection! You can purchase a lg ($8) or small ($4). I got the Lg one, and Pam the #NumeroUno waitress in the entire , was kind enough to put the salsa into 2 containers for me. I was really grateful for that because if I'd had just the lg container, my small household probly wouldn't hv finished it b4 it, expired(?). Pam was just a gem all the way around.

The service is honestly the best part -- the employees are super kind and welcoming, and they always treat you with respect. I really appreciate that about them. But everything else just misses the mark. The ambiance and decor look very cheap and thrown together -- it feels more like they raided a dollar store for decorations. It really needs a lot of work to match the quality you'd expect from a restaurant charging the prices they do. The food is okay -- not terrible, but definitely not great either. It's just average, which would be fine if it were priced fairly. But for what you're getting, it's way too expensive. To make matters worse, they've never gotten my order right, which gets frustrating after giving them multiple chances. Overall, I can't recommend Los Pinguinos. It feels like a waste of money, and I left more disappointed than anything. I wanted authentic flavor and a nice experience, but this just wasn't it.
