About El Palenque

El Palenque is a restaurant that offers a pleasant dining experience with authentic classic Mexican food. The menu is large, featuring a variety of options from traditional Mexican fare to Americanized dishes and vegetarian food options. The food arrives quickly and is consistently delicious and great, with heaping portions served hot and very hot. The carne asada medium is cooked to perfection, and the rice and beans are a nice accompaniment. Free chips and salsa are brought to the table upon seating, adding to the welcoming and family friendly ambiance. The restaurant's decor is nicely done in southwest style, and the atmosphere is kid-friendly. The $10 fajitas, $6 margaritas, and Monday's $1 taco nights are a great value, and there is a wide variety of margaritas to choose from. The camarones a la diabla dish was absolutely lovely with true heat. The establishment is immaculately clean, and the helpful and friendly servers, including attentive bartenders, make the experience even better. Overall, it’s a good spot to try with the best specials, and the back patio is perfect during warm months. Customers look forward to their visits and will be seeing El Palenque again!

We paid it back for the street tacos had something on it that used to be green, but was no longer green. It was completely discolored and half black the deep fried pork burrito...read full review

I absolutely loved this place until today! The MANAGER BENJI (guy with the tattoos and bald head) is extremely rude to my friend and I. I asked for a manager (not knowing my server was the manager) I voiced my concerns and he told me it seems like “it’s always a problem when I come in here.” I told him that’s not true I normally sit in the bar and I have a great time (bartender is beyond amazing). He told me “well maybe you should say over there.” All that because...read full review
