Pachuca
Born in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, Peña graduated from C.F. Pachuca's youth categories, and made his first-team debut on 14 April 2010, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–2 away draw against Cruz Azul. He appeared more regularly in the following campaign, playing 19 matches (13 as a starter).
León
In May 2011, Peña joined Ascenso MX side Club León. He appeared in 31 matches during his first campaign with Los Panzas Verdes, as the club was promoted from the play-offs. In 2013–14 Peña scored 12 goals, as León was crowned champions of both Apertura and Clausura tournaments (the latter by defeating his former club Pachuca).
Guadalajara
On 6 December 2015, C.D. Guadalajara announced they had signed Peña with a reported transfer fee of US$8 million. Peña scored on his official debut against Veracruz on 10 January 2016. Despite a slow start to the Clausura 2016 season, Peña scored seven goals in 17 appearances. However, he has received criticism for his missed penalties during crucial games.
Return to León
On December 7th 2016, it was announced that Pena had returned to Leon after playing a year for Guadalajara.
International career
In late 2012, Peña was called up by José Manuel de la Torre to play for Mexico in the World Cup Qualifiers against Guyana on October 12 and El Salvador on October 16. He was also called up for a friendly against Peru.
Peña was named among the 23-man squad for the 2013 Gold Cup. Mexico was eventually knocked out in the semifinals by runners-up Panama, with Peña appearing in four matches during the competition. He was later called up by Víctor Manuel Vucetich to the 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying matches against Panama and Costa Rica. He scored his first international goal against Finland in a friendly match on October 30, 2013. Peña was named in the 23 squad men in the 2014 World Cup. He played in the final group stage match against Croatia replacing Oribe Peralta.
