“I had such a wonderful experience at Palenque Mexican Restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was excellent.
A special thank you to Christian, who went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. He was friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely made the experience feel special. It’s clear that he takes pride in his work and truly cares about his guests.
Christian was definitely a highlight of our visit. I would absolutely recommend Palenque to anyone looking for great Mexican food and wonderful service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“2nd time here! Food was fantastic...again! Our server Tyler was fabulous!!! Happy Birthday to me!!“

“Very good drinks, great atmosphere!“

“We really enjoy coming here however, it can be a little bit slow to get service even if you're sitting at the bar. The drinks are good and the food is more of a hit than a miss. Mini rotates seasonally but as of right now and August I recommend the crab nachos.“

“Some of the best Mexican food is sold here and I'm not talking about your regular burritos and tacos stuff. They have almost authentic dishes. And I say almost because authentic enchiladas don't have Monterey Jack but queso fresco, but I'm being picky. Worth visiting.“

“Stopped into Room 77 and accidentally walked into one of the coolest throwback vibes I’ve seen in a while. They were hosting this burlesque-style, vintage lounge show, complete with performers on aerial hoops and that old-school speakeasy atmosphere. Super unique for the area and honestly such a cool experience.

Drinks were on point too. They had some solid drink specials, good pours, and a great mix of cocktails, beer, and Happy Dad Hard Seltzers. Staff was friendly and fast even though the place was packed for the show.“

“Majestic vibes. Lots of comfort seating and large area to dance. Amazing drinks.“

“Brought my grandkids here and they loved it.. friendly employees and very courteous.. Awesome food!!!🍤 🍚🍗“

“came here for the first time last night because I just opened a tow yard close by and the place seemed to be poppin. was a awesome choice. pulled in and the lot had classic cars and low lows parked outside. that was the first sign that it was meant to be. ordered fish tacos and they were bomb! wife ordered flautas for the babies and they had cheese inside. apparently they were amazing also. the salsa bar.... every salsa was very good I had to have all of them. good vibes! was leaving and a guy was walking to patio with a burrito the size of a football no lie! will be a new spot for the family for sure!“

“Okay, the tacos didn't travel well, primarily due to the shells getting too wet from each others' ingredients, but the fillings were just fine. Would happily eat them on-site, next time. Where this place gets its massive props from me? The ceviche (I had the spicy version), and the amazingly great clam chowder. I mean, I know that chowder is a popular item in Baja, but now I have no reason to travel and find out why. For all I know they opened a can of clam chowder and enhanced it with their own secret blend of herbs and spices, but who cares? It was fantastic.“

“Just a great place. The Mission Inn is a treasure“

“if you are in the riverside area near the magnolia center and in the mood for sushi 🍣, you got to give this place a try. the food is fantastic and the drinks, wow! prices are fair, beer is cold, service is very good and lots of choices on menu. they got karaoke on Fridays atv6 and it's just a cool hole in the wall.“

“First visit today, going back for next month's lunch with a friend. Wish we'd discovered El Patron sooner.“

“Está buena la comida y buen servicio, gracias“
