Great food! Good service!
The food was good and the service was good. My truck broke down outside and they were ok with it sitting outside overnight. The manager was a very cool guy. I don't get over to Cave City very often but will definitely eat here again the next time I do. Thank y'all for taking care of us.
Great service and good food.

El Palenque is a hidden treasure in Cave City, AR, serving exceptional Mexican food with quick, attentive, and friendly service. The menu features tasty dishes like bean enchiladas with white cheese sauce, and desserts like excellent Flan. While not entirely authentic Mexican cuisine, it’s a great option in the area for a hot, convenient meal. The welcoming atmosphere and perfect sweet tea make it a worthwhile stop. Customers praise the friendly service, fast staff, and well-seasoned dishes. The enchiladas are especially popular, though some note they use cheese sauce instead of hot enchiladas sauce, as is common in Arkansas. The owner and staff are described as very friendly and accommodating, with one customer mentioning that the manager was a very cool guy. Parking can be a little tight for disabled guests, but overall, it remains one of the best Mexican places around, offering fantastic food and a warm, inviting atmosphere.
