After these works, Penélope Menchaca decided to emigrate to the United States to find a better life opportunity, she took her two daughters and left her entire other family because she was confident that something good would come in the future.

In 2004, Penélope Menchaca’s great opportunity in life would come, as she was signed by Telemundo to be the host of the program that would be called “12 hearts” , a dating contest that combined astrology with aspects related to the people they wanted to find in love within the program, initially it had a low budget but nobody expected that it would become a hit on television, even surpassing the audience levels of the most important programs on Telemundo and in a short time it managed to be broadcast in several Latin American countries , without a doubt a great success by Penelope and one of the programs for which she is most remembered.

In January 2006, the program was bought by Televisa México and since it was also a tremendous success, it had 3 chapters per day. Menchaca’s growing popularity led to her being invited to host some programs and events such as Noche de Poker, 100 Mexicanos Dijeron, Miss Universe 2006 and Billboard Latin Music Awards, El Grito, to name a few.

In August 2009, 12 Corazones: Rumbo al Altar began as a one-hour weekend spin-off of Telemundo’s daytime game show, “12 Corazones”. It was also hosted by Penélope Menchaca and featured 12 engaged partners (6 couples) competing for weekly prizes to start their lives together and the chance to win the grand prize of a dream wedding. The success of Menchaca and her program was such that throughout its duration it had several copies that tried to compete with it but could never unseat it. 
In 2010, Penelope Menchaca released a book in Spanish titled The Art of Cuchiplancheo; taking advantage of the great success that she was achieving with his reality show. In her book, Menchaca offers advice for “…enjoying erotic nature and sensuality: making love without inhibition and plunging with unabashed joy into the world of erotic games and ardent sexual fantasies.”

At the end of 2017, the controversial broadcast to find love, ’12 hearts’, after 12 years on the air on Telemundo and a simply overwhelming success, announced the sudden cancellation of the program hosted by Penélope Menchaca.

Sadly, the host opened up in 2017 and commented, in addition to her sadness because her program had come to an end, that she suffered from severe pain due to a congenital malformation in her right foot called an arteriovenous malformation, which practically as if her veins were tied up and not straight as they should, which has caused him throughout his life to live in constant pain and he cannot do anything about it. The pain does not stop, but it is something that the driver has already learned to live with and without the need to take medication because it really does not give her any kind of relief, so she believes that it is better not to take anything if in the end it will not help.

A few months later he confirmed that he would change the program format a bit and join a magazine program with guests, music and contests, later it was confirmed that Penélope Menchaca would enter Venga la Alegría, Azteca’s morning show sharing credits as  Sergio Sepúlveda , Annette Cuburu , Brandon Peniche , Roger González and Patricio Borgetti , Kristal Silva , Los Destrampados , Laura G , among other great personalities of the Mexican show businessIn 2018, upon arrival at TV Azteca, the program “El poder del amor” also premiered, but after only five days of transmission, the reality show ended and without the production giving the public any notice, although it was rumored that there had been a scandal of a sexual nature when Elías Quezada, a member of the reality show, tried to sexually abuse Damaris, another participant. He would have wanted to go overboard with her, and when the production found out about the aforementioned, he would immediately cancel the show. Penélope Menchaca completely denied these statements and assured that the program came to an end because it did not have good audience levels, but Damaris said that she had been harassed.

Another project that failed by Penélope was “Ponle de noche” which was broadcast daily on channel A+, 7.2 from Azteca and had a Late Night Show format sharing credits with Huarachín and Huarachón. It was commented that the sexy and talented presenter was sad, because they have not been able to give her the exact place and where to put her to make her shine because although by 2020 she was still in Venga la Alegría , the reality is that she was one more of the bunch of drivers, well, no It was one of the stars of the morning.

In January 2020 Penélope Menchaca was almost sued because she premiered a ‘zumba’ section on VLA but it turned out to be a registered trademark for which you have to pay copyright to use it or be a certified instructor to teach classes. Penélope Menchaca gave ‘zumba’ classes to the public and to her setmates; however, apparently no one in the production of TV Azteca knew that they could incur a legal violation by not having a document that endorses the presenter as an instructor. Later  Penélope Menchaca was the host of Falling in love but it did not last long.

After the failure that the “Mimí contigo” program hosted by de Flans meant for TV Azteca, in June 2021 the new program “The ideal couple” was released, which had the purpose of finding the best couple and the one that was best known and loved. “The ideal couple” was hosted by Penelope Menchaca , Pascal Nadaud and Gaby Ramírez who would be in charge of this new program that hoped to achieve good audience levels and attract again the public that the television station had lost after the failure of the previous program.
