The Cantorito and Chancla were great drinks to get us started. We had their guacamole and chips, wild boar with mole, and the cuitlacoche tamal stack. All were very good. The boar was tender and the mole was delicious. We will definitely be back to try more of their unique menu.

Was utterly blown away.
The food was out of this world, clearly the head-chef is a culinary genius. You won’t find anything else like it. The flavor combos were mind blowing.
The vibes and decor are awesome.
Our waitress was AMAZING

What appears to be a small Mexican restaurant located in downtown GR, turns out to be a uniquely presented gem with Big flavors. Much larger on the inside than it appears from the street, this casual spot serves up a much more sophisticated menu than it would appear. The drinks, app, entrees, and desserts all delivered and the service was great on top of that. Party started with their signature drink (Palenque Margarita) which is shaken/presented table side. Presentation was great and the taste was even better. Party enjoyed the queso fundido which had unique flavors and served with corn tortillas (need to ask for extra tortillas or chips to accompany). Then party tried the Carne Asada and the Mahi Mahi. Both were prepared and plated perfectly; bold (but satisfying) flavors and nice portion sizes. Then we finished with the flourless chocolate torte and the goat cheese churros. Both were delicious but hands down the churros were the highlight (the sweetness of the churros is perfectly paired with the goat cheese filling and the textures were flawless.) Prices are to be expected for downtown GR and the food you receive; overall worth the visit if you’re in the area or want to plan a night out.

In my opinion the best original high end Mexican food in town. Started with the guacamole and the three salsa appetizer (warning the deep red salsa is super spicy) with the Cafe De Olla coffee which was fantastic. I had the Carne Asada tacos – awesome – and the Queen had the Deconstructed Postor tacos, and I finished off what she couldn’t eat! I’m sure the margarita selection would be tasty, but we don’t drink. But their Diet Pepsi was extra crispy for the win. Highly recommend! ❤️❤️

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate a special occasion. I ordered the mahi-mahi. While the dish itself was amazing, I had a reaction to the mahi-mahi that was close to an allergic reaction–a clear indication that it was not refrigerated properly. Definitely not expected out of a $30+ dish. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great. However, for the price point, I expected much better service from our server. If we didn’t have to flag down other staff for everything, she wouldn’t have tried to follow us out the door assuming that we hadn’t paid. We were excited to finally visit, and this experience was a complete letdown.

So I can’t handle spice and what I ordered was too spicy. So our waiter went above and beyond trying to help me. Nick our waiter brought me 3 different sauces to try and they were going to remake my food with any of the sauces if I could handle them. They were so nice! My boyfriend steak was perfect! And the queso appetizer we got was amazing! I would definitely recommend and plan to go back!

I was at an event nearby and decided to try a new place. I didn’t drive here, I’m not sure if the parking is free or paid for. It seems easier to drive a regular car in town. Driving a truck will have it’s small challenges. It’s wonderful coming through the front. You will get the hours at the door. As soon as you walk in there will be all kinds of decorations and awards. If you want your food to go head over to the bar area. If however you want to sitdown just walk up to the host. The bathroom will be located downstairs. This place can host a large and small groups. The food was very delicious. The menu was easy to read. Payment here will be in the form of credit card or cash.

Stopped in for lunch over the summer. Nothing left me unhappy! Food was delicious and I would come back again. Next time, I would try this place during happy hour!

Incredible food, incredible service, incredible atmosphere. I’m an Arizona native and I was a little skeptical about trying Mexican food in Michigan but W O W. We tried a variety of different menu items as well as a Mezcal flight and we loved it all. Our waiter was friendly, super knowledgeable and nailed it with every recommendation. I also have celiacs and am allergic to dairy and it’s so hard to actually enjoy meals out when I travel but I will absolutely be coming back here. Thank you for a memorable experience!!
