El Palenque Mexican Restaurant and Cantina

This place was fire! And that's coming from an AZ boy!

We shared a shrimp fajita salad, its was plenty!

We had a large group to celebrate our daughters college graduation. Lot of drinks and food and they were very good. Food was excellent

Usually pretty good service here, but Saturday 2/28 was terrible. (Group of 4 people) Waited 30 minutes to be seated (not a problem, waiting on a crowd) but they didn't even greet/acknowledge us. Not even a simple hello. Then they sit us at a dirty table and don't even give us menus, just walked off. Okay, they're busy, we'll give them a bit. 20 minutes later, we ask for a menu, they drop them off, ask what we want to drink and don't come back for another 20 minutes. They then ask if we want chips and salsa, we tell them we are ready to order. We order, then they ignore us for another 30 minutes. We ask if they are working on the order after 30 minutes, they say they will go check, don't come back. We waited about 20 more minutes afterward and left. Every single employee must have hated their life and everyone in the world or something. Anyway, never coming back. Very sad as their food was good, but they were so disrespectful. Go to Oscars on 9th Street if you want better service and better food.

The margarita flights are five ounces of bottom shelf tequila for $60. I do not recommend.

My son and I had dinner there two days ago. We ordered the same combo, then both of us had diarrhea two days in a row from then on. I doubt the hygiene of their food.

Everything is awesome!!! Currently visiting from VA and my dad, a local, told me to come here for the food and margaritas. It may not be Monday when they have specials on margaritas, but damn! These are tasty! Got the Cadillac Margarita and tacos el pastor. My beautiful wife got the house margarita and carnitas. The food was super tasty and the drinks really refreshing. The restaurant was neat and clean with awesome decor. The staff friendly and knowledgeable. I brought up my dad and they knw him by name and photo. Such a great place. I'll be back on my next visit for more.

My husband and I came here to have dinner with some friends. Our waiter was very friendly but somewhat unprofessional. There was a large group seemingly in the back of the restaurant and they were extremely loud. Luckily we were able to switch tables and find a quieter spot so we could hear each other speak. Otherwise all the food was great and we had a great rest of our time.
