They cheat on the auctions. I've seen it not once, but twice. Sad too because I have been in Austin forever and used to think this place was cool. There are other art venues that are stand up but not here...

The owners are very rude and treat the employees like garbage want to support an unethical company?? Come here and do that

This is a very nice gallery and the people here are super nice but I don't know what all the hype is about for the tacos. The only good thing about them is they are cheap. I had chorizo y papá and chorizo y huevo and i thought they were dry

Don’t sleep on these tacos. Get there early for more options because they sell out.

This is a great place to go see local artists’ artwork!!! I learned so much from Lydia (the owner) and really enjoyed seeing the artwork. Please go see this hidden gem that represents the real and independent spirit of Austin!!!

Delicious tacos with a delightful conversation. Not only did we devour the tacos, which were incredibly reasonable, but we leaned about several other must see locations in Austin. What a fabulous hidden find! The artwork was cool to see as well and it came with a little history lesson. Don’t miss this one.

Most wonderful time at opening reception of International Women’s Day—Qué Viva La Mujer exhibit at La Peña! It’s a beautiful show featuring works by some outstanding female artists! Thank you Cynthia & Libby for this curatorial opportunity & for this amazing celebration of women through the arts! Qué Viva la Mujer!

Was visiting Austin for QuiltCon and wanted to try somewhere local for breakfast since we had time before our flights. Their breakfast tacos are top notch, absolutely delicious and really affordable. The art was really cool and we loved the tradition of the exhibit. Would definitely recommend stopping by this gem!
This place opens at 8, not 9 as yelp has it shown. Total amount per taco is $2.50 after tax which is still a solid price. Pretty basic tacos, but tasty and served hot. I'd go back for a quick taco on the go.

Everything! Their gallery is really nice, the tacos are great, Sra. Blanca who is at the counter is wonderful, Cynthia & Lydia are a force to be reckoned with because they have worked really hard in the interest of the community and artists. Toma Mi Corazon is my favorite event. I feel so blessed that I was able to participate again this year. Tlacohcamati Cynthia and Lydia and everyone there who makes events and programs possible.

I spent a week in Austin and the cheapest breakfast I could find was about 10 bucks until I found La Peña. The tacos were hot and fresh, the green sauce is unbelievable. If I could buy the green sauce in bulk I would. One taco and a coffee was just under four dollars. Two tacos and a coffee came to $6.50.

Cynthia is rude and a crimanal and runs a great deal of money through her so called non-profit organization using Raul Gonzalez to do her dirty work.

The breakfast tacos here were recommended by a local and they didn't disappoint. They are the traditional style tacos (I had bacon & egg and bacon & potato), and the price just cannot be beat. If you like things spicy, ask for the hot sauce. Hidden gem for breakfast!! $1.40 for one breakfast taco. Tasty and not too small. I had three breakfast tacos and my wife had two. They were tasty and filling. A great gallery and a great event! Artists put their hearts and talents to work creating art hearts for the benefit silent auction! So many wonderful expression for what a heart can be!
