Came for Taco Tuesday! Place was very nice. Sat at the Bar, the bartender was very attentive and margaritas were on point. My girlfriend had a regular margarita before the food came and a passion fruit margarita after the food. We started with chicharron con tostones and guacamole. Was apprehensive to try the tostones as I’ve never had them, glad I did. Tacos Tuesday is $1 tacos for chicken, steak, and carnitas. Minimum of 5 and you can mix and match. We had a combination of all 3. They were very good, maybe just a bit too much onion, but you remove some. We also had the Birria tacos! A must have.

Andrea is the absolute best! I came in here on a whim - and Andrea was super sweet and patient with me and my friend. We came here for one drink and ended up staying for an entire meal and several more drinks! Definitely coming back.

My family originally planned to eat at the Clifton buffet, but those plans fell through. We were then approached by a canvasser for this restaurant, and after connecting with her, we decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad we did! We were celebrating my dad’s birthday, and dining at Palenque turned out to be an excellent choice. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and every employee greeted us with such warmth, making us feel like family. The atmosphere was inviting, the food was delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. I’ll definitely be returning to enjoy more of what this place has to offer.

HEY, this is from all your street neighbors around you. we all love your food and we would appreciate it if you could PLEASE lower the music decimals that are required by law after 10 pm. We understand you have a business to run but the music is WAY too loud to be playing up until 2:30 in the morning. Some nights it seems IMPOSSIBLE to sleep by how loud the music is. Not to mention Subwoofer speakers in that small space is absolutely NOT needed.Please turn it down.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Palenque Restaurant in Clifton, and I must say it was a remarkable experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.The standout feature of our visit was the manager, who also happened to be a fantastic bartender. He took the time to guide us through the menu, offering expert recommendations on the best dishes and drinks. It was evident that he had a deep passion for the cuisine, and his enthusiasm was infectious.The food itself was a true revelation. Each dish was not only bursting with flavor but also generously portioned. It's clear that Palenque takes great pride in using authentic Mexican ingredients, and it shines through in every bite. From sizzling fajitas to flavorful tacos, every item we ordered exceeded our expectations.What truly sets Palenque apart is the perfect balance they strike between quality and quantity. You leave feeling satisfied, both in terms of your taste buds and your appetite.If you're looking for an authentic Mexican culinary experience in Clifton, I wholeheartedly recommend Palenque Restaurant. The manager's recommendations, the quality and quantity of the food, and the overall ambiance make it a must-visit for anyone craving genuine Mexican flavors. Palenque Restaurant has certainly earned a spot on my list of favorite dining spots.

Yes I liked it, good attention and appropriate environment to distract you.

I ordered a rib broth to take away and the potato was hard and the rib was too small for 20 dollars, I didn't like it

Would give 0 stars if I could. It's a total scam. They have this policy where they force you to pay tip if the bill is over $50. This would be fine with me if they had notified me before I ordered. They wouldn't even let me split the bill to pay the food portion on card and the rest cash. Disappointing.I would give 0 stars if I could. It is a robbery when they do not notify before consuming that a mandatory tip must be paid after consuming the equivalent of $50. It would be nice if they notified me and in the end they didn't even let me divide the payment to pay for the food with a card and the rest in cash. It's a disappointment.

Great place but the dj when there is a karaoke is extremely rude unfortunately. I heard this from multiple friends also, so hopefully the management communicate the concern.
