This place is always packed, but for a reason. You just don't get a lot of Mexican food like this around here.

I recently took my family to El Palenque, and as a returning customer, I was thrilled to experience it all over again! We visited on Taco Tuesday, and it truly was a feast for everyone.
One of the best aspects of El Palenque is the wide variety of options available. My family was able to choose exactly what they wanted, ranging from traditional tacos to delicious vegan and vegetarian selections. As a vegetarian myself, I was delighted to find the vegan tacos—absolutely delicious and perfectly satisfying. The nistamal tortilla added a fantastic touch that made the meal even better!
The ambience of the restaurant is inviting and vibrant, creating a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy a meal with family. On top of that, the service was excellent—attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend El Palenque for anyone looking to enjoy great food in a family-friendly environment. Taco Tuesday is definitely the highlight of our week now, and we can't wait to return!

First time here and we’d definitely go back! Wish the upstairs rooftop was open, not sure why it was closed on a 73 degree day on a Sunday afternoon.

I adore this restaurant in downtown Littleton. HUGE Mezcal selection. Excellent fresh food and weekend brunch. My favorite is to sit at the bar and take the bartender recommendations for Mezcal. Anthony is the bomb and he was fun, helpful, and full of Mezcal knowledge!

Palenque was great to order catering through. They were very communicative, quick, and friendly to work with for our order. Special thanks to Todd for his customer service and making sure our needs were met. Great place!

Insane mezcal and tequila list. Great food ! Must go.
I finally tried the Taco Tuesday famous Palenque tacos tonight. So much flavor! My husband got the shrimp enchiladas with the chipotle mushroom cream sauce and actually got excited about it, which he normally doesn't really do when it comes to restaurants. It takes a lot to impress him, and Palenque, you did it! We will be back!
Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu, and the atmosphere is friendly and colorful! Yes, there is a bar, but you don't have to sit near it. Its honestly great for a date night, meet up with friends for margaritas or a family meal.

I’m speaking for my plate. I got the Vegan Quesadilla. It was bland. Veggies were bland, vegan cheese bland. The guacamole you guessed it bland. Over priced for the portions you get. Service was great. Atmosphere was great. Food was horrible.

Food was just ok. All of our food came out in 4 minutes? I had barely had a sip of my margarita. Fajitas were ok. Tacos were better.

Best house Margarita in town! Excellent menu options, GF, vegetarian, and plenty of space even when there's a wait, we get seated quickly.
