Gotten takeout from here a couple of times. Sopapillas are top notch. Fresh, hot food and really good cheese dip.

Great service and excellent atmosphere. The wall paintings are fantastic. The margaritas were not watered down and in fact had plenty of tequila. They served the best chimichanga I've EVER had. Fresh and perfect seasoning on the chicken. Most places serve a soggy chimichanga, but Palenque's was still crisp on the outside even after adding cheese on top. Their mango chipotle chicken tacos were sweet and savory. Way better quality than typical Mexican restaurants in the Midwest. The salsa was balanced with a hint of spiciness that allowed us to keep crunching away. So glad they're in Troy!

The service and food here is superb. The best Mexican food restaurant i have eaten at. They really stepped up their game and have a wider variety of dishes than I have ever seen! The service is great! They also have an outdoor patio which is closed in with heaters during the winter. You can't go wrong here!

It was almost a 5 all the food was fantastic. I think it's the best mexican restaurant on this side of saint louis. The salsa could have been thicker and the chips lighter with a crisp freshness. Definitely you have to try it. Don't forget to follow me I I review alot.

I love this place! This is the only place nearby that serves Carne en su jugo. This is a sacralicious soup that translates to steak in its juice. This is a meal not a side dish. It is bomb if you like beef, bacon, beans, onions, cilantro, avocado and likely more. Give it a try.
I’m from out of town and come to Troy on different occasions. Every time I’m here, I must come to this restaurant. Atmosphere is great, artwork is unique, food has been some of the best I’ve had. Food has come out very quick every time, 10-20 minutes. Chips and Salsa are also very good. Food is also very affordable for how delicious it is.
First time here and it was the day after Christmas so we expected busy. We showed up with no reservation about 5:30 and were seated immediately indoors. First impression was the noise. It was very (VERY) loud in there, so not thrilled with that part.
Server came promptly and was able to fill drinks and take our order quickly. Friendly staff and although super busy, were pretty attentive. We were near the restrooms and better fans are a must for this place. Smelly for sure.
Chips and salsa were fine, but standard. I had the three taco plate with three meats (chicken, beef, pork), and my wife had carnitas. It wasnt bad but fairly standard without a lot of zing with regard to flavor.
Overall a mediocre experience that was drowned out by noise.
Better ventilation, sound mitigation, and improved flavor would make this a great experience. Cant recommend right now, but it has potential.

We had been there once before and this time sat outside. It was cold but the waiter put us right under a heater...I love the outside sitting area so much more! The food was the usual nothing outstanding and nothing horrible. I still feel like the margaritas are a little light.

This is our new go to Mexican restaurant. The food is delicious and the margaritas are great. I got the pina colada margarita and quesadilla birria. The consumé is super rich and flavorful can’t wait to try the rest of the menu
