A stylish modern-Mexican spot with tableside flourishes, very friendly service, and creative dishes; great overall, though a few diners report inconsistent cooking and over-attentive service.
La Penúltima delivers solid neighborhood dining through excellent food quality and exceptional service warmth, competitive with the area's better restaurants. However, inconsistent execution on steaks and seasoning alongside occasional food safety concerns prevent a higher grade. The pleasant modern setting and creative Mexican menu appeal to diners seeking quality with flair, though not yet at destination-restaurant caliber.
One caveat: A few recent reports of undercooked ribeye and mediocre flavors; likely isolated but worth noting
