Try it...you'll love it!!! It's not big restaurant, but that's what I loved about it and it gave authentic from the front door! Best Mexican food I've had since I got here. On the back of the menu, it says BYOB and my husband said I'll be back...lol! He went right to the drug store and got a 6 pk. We will definitely back!
MY ONLY GO TO FOR MEXICAN FOOD ON DA ISLAND
So authentic and full of flavor! I felt I was eating my mother’s home cooked food and there was no long wait and friendly service! I’m visiting my son here in Hawaii & he said mom I’m going to take you to this bomb Mexican food place to have dinner & it was bomb! My plate was clean!

El Palenque is a highly-recommended Mexican restaurant known for its excellent service and food. This family-run local favorite has a cozy ambiance and even offers a convenient take-out window. The menu features authentic dishes such as the gigantic Trio Burrito, filled with flavors of chicken, carnitas, and beef, along with lettuce, cheese, avocado, and sour cream. Customers enjoy the fresh and flavorful guacamole, as well as the rice and bean sides. The restaurant is praised for its family-style service, with most employees believed to be related. While the salsa can be a bit too spicy for some, El Palenque remains a favorite among locals, despite its slim parking and cramped space. It's a little hole-in-the-wall that continues to impress, making it a must-try for anyone seeking delicious Mexican cuisine in Wahiawa.
