We tried this place after a trip to the game store next door. It was incredibly disappointing. Paying $15 for two crunchy tacos and one enchilada with thin runny sauce is an insult.

You can eat better at Taco Bell for 1/3 the price.

I’ve been coming here for like 20 years or so and the food is pretty good!
One of my favorites is the Papa Nachos but it is sometimes inconsistent when I get it togo. When I dine in, it is always delicious.

They have nice strong margaritas too!

This picture costed me 35 bucks… maybe it’s the neighborhood, but never in my life have I ever been scammed this badly. 3 tacos… 35 bucks. I’ve been to many taqueria so I’m familiar with what market price is, but the price at this resturant is terrible for what it’s worth. Food was below mid at best, but prices are 2x the average market rate. If you want a real taqueria experience go to a different place. I never called the manager over in my life, but I had to because there were charges on my bill I was not aware was put on there, but the manager just told me the waiter can pay the difference on my bill… the waiter shouldn’t have to pay for the resturants menu hidden fees. Won’t be coming here again, won’t recommend for those looking for good Mexican food. Waiter was nice though, and I truly do feel bad that they have a terrible/greedy manager that would take money from them as if they don’t make enough money anyways.

The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and a hit with both the kids and adults. Everything was well prepared. I had catered Paquete #4 from catering menú and everything was amazing all my guest ate twice.

Prices are out of control here.

Used to be a good value

Now it’s cheap food for Lupe Prices.

$90 for 1 margarita, beef fajitas for 1 and a chicken chimichanga.

1 table spoon of cheese for the fajitas, none on the chimichanga. $6.50 for extra cheese and then included gratuity for a 2 person ticket.

Just lost a 34 year customer tonight.
Manager should go to business school and learn some foundational skills like client retention……

El Palenque has been our favorite Mexican food restaurant for years. Our server Adrian is amazing. He is so pleasant and attentive. Our food was just as we ordered, hot, flavorful and fresh. The restaurant is so colorful and clean. Great experience all around. I really appreciate their consistency. I recommend!

Me and my roommate ate here. Service and atmosphere is great. But we could barely eat anything, and we both came down with food poisoning.

3 Year’s later and this place is still AMAZING . Always busy must try!

We went in a Monday afternoon and was not busy. We were greeted promptly, sat and the wait staff was attentive throughout our meal. chips were fresh, warm and delicious . Salsa perfect it was not too hot and flavorful. Food was hot, fresh, well seasoned and generous portions. It was priced a bit more then average so we picked from the “value” menu. We liked the atmosphere so I we will be returning. The standout item was this green salsa that came with my wife’s meal. Omg it was amazing! I asked for some extra and poured it all over leftovers the next day. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to a dinner date for two or fulll family meal.

Bar none our favorite Mexican restaurant in Houston! My family and I come here at least twice a month. The food is delicious and very well priced, the service is absolutely fantastic and friendly, and the restaurant itself is very clean and festive. 10/10 would recommend!
