El Palenque Mexican Restaurant is a spacious place that often attracts many customers, showing its popularity. The menu includes a variety of options, such as vegetarian-friendly nachos without meat and hearty fajitas with beef, served with tortillas, rice, guacamole, beans, and a choice of soup or salad. Prices are on the higher side, but the portions are generous, enough to feed two or three people easily. The service is generally quick, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The food is praised for its delicious flavors and freshness, with many dishes made entirely by the restaurant. Customers have enjoyed authentic Mexican meals, including enchiladas de Cameron, and appreciate the homemade sauces and fresh ingredients. Although the machine for making chips had been retired, preventing the making of nachos, the overall experience remains positive. The restaurant also offers a side salad with freshly made ranch and even features special treats like fried ice cream. While some guests noted that the margaritas are wine-based and do not contain tequila, they still plan to return for the food and quality service.
