Ordered delivery but called first to inquire about available options. Staff went above and beyond to ensure we could order exactly what we wanted.
Food was amazing, as it is every time we have had the pleasure of either ordering or dining in. Prices are always fair, reasonable & a little better than expected each time in comparison with other venues in relation to the economy.
Always a pleasure. Highly recommend.

Small dining room in a small town. Friendly service started as we walked in the door. Chips & salsa were brought quickly. The food came out quickly and was hot and delicious! We will definitely be a returning customer.

My partner and I decided to check this place out after reading rave reviews on several different sites. Being new to the area, I have no good frame of reference for what good restaurants are available to me yet, but I can usually rely on ratings to steer me in the right direction. I can genuinely say I’ve never been so disappointed in a “Mexican” restaurant as I was at El Palenque. Ironically the best thing we had there were the complimentary chips and salsa. My partner’s tacos were flavorless at best. My combo platter was underwhelming and tasted like it was freshly pulled from the freezer and popped in the microwave. The beef in the burrito had the texture of ground dog food and was similar in flavor. To top it all off, we spent the next 24 hours fighting each other for access to the restroom, with him being sent home halfway through his work shift because he looked and felt like death. One star is not low enough. It takes a lot for me to feel the need to review a place, but this one is well deserving. The staff made us feel like we were a burden simply for being there (on a Saturday afternoon), and our server didn’t have even the most basic knowledge of the menu (who works somewhere but doesn’t even know what protein options are available in each item??)
Super lame. We’ll stick to El Parian from now on, at least their food doesn’t taste freezer burnt.

Worth the experience and likely really is one of the best in the town. Trying the limited time dessert is fun and unique. Perhaps it’s a bit too small inside; a lot of regulars. I would consider trying again if I come into the area again.

Delicious food, great service. My only complaint is that the portions used to be bigger, especially for takeout. I get half the fajitas i used to. Great little local business, would still recommend

If you give this place a one star review you are an idiot. Don’t listen to the “local guides” because they have no clue what they are talking about. I’m from Texas and this Mexican food is the real deal. Margaritas 10/10, chips and queso 10/10. Haven’t even got the rest of my meal yet and already leaving this review. Service so far 10/10. Merry Christmas haters.

What a great surprise to find a Mexican restaurant that has great tasting food and great service. I had the Birria tacos and they were excellent. If you like rice it too was awesome.

This is one of, if not the best, Mexican restaurant in and around the area. My wife and I love this place to no end. The place is super clean, the staff is really nice, and the food is absolutely amazing.
