The food is great, the margaritas are better, and Wyatt is the best! The dude always makes us feel like family when we walk in the door. The only Mexican restaurant I eat at in Albany!

One of our favorite spots to go. Have eaten here several times. The food is great and so is the service. From the Tacos to the Fajitas, you can't go wrong. And of course theirs the Margaritas. Try a flight! ORecently went to order to go and noticed they didn't have a menu on line so I decided to post this to help.

This place is great. Good people, good food, and their chips and salsa are killer. I would give them a solid 5 stars on their food but they stopped making the tortillas fresh. They need to go back to that because it was awesome. Rey the big lava stone dish thing...it's called something that starts with Mochal..a.Parking: Large free parking lot. There is always plenty of space.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and the restaurant decor is very fun with paintings of horses on all of the chairs.

El Palenque was fantastic! The drinks were great (highly recommend the Juanita) and the food was hot and fresh. I also love the bean dip with chips, it's a nice extra. They are right between Les Schwab and Abby's Pizza and with so many mexcian restaurant options in this town this one is one of my top favorites!

Excellent authentic Mexican food. The chips and salsa were good and the inclusion of refried beans was a pleasant surprise. I had the fajita nachos, which were delicious but not the best test of a kitchen. However, all ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Prices were reasonable also. Can't wait to go back and try the enchiladas or tamales. Service was a little slow, but there seemed to be only one server.

Excellent service! Food was good, though both dishes were drowned in a cream sauce. This made it hard to distinguish flavors. Do not waste your money on the fishbowl. $28 and I bet only a one shot of tequila. That being said, typical Mexican restaurant atmosphere. Food was decent, drinks not so much.

Classic Spanish-American restaurant with everything you'd expect. You do have to specifically ask for water which should be included with every meal, and service is alright.
