El Palenque Mexican Restaurant and Cantina

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.

Enjoyed a delicious dinner to celebrate my step son’s birthday. The handmade tortillas are the best! Excellent house made refried beans. Attentive staff. Reasonable prices.

The food is grossly overpriced. Even if the food was half the price they charge, it still wouldn't be worth it because everytime ive tried to give this place a chance, its been some of tue worst mexican food I've ever had. I gave it 2 stars because the chips and salsa bean dip they give you is pretty good, and they do good margaritas.

BEST flautas and mexican pizza i've ever had!!
I had trouble counting my money, and they were super sweet to me about it. Very patient!

A basic American-Mexican menu. The salsa/chips/bean dip they bring out first are high quality (though they are stingy on the salsa/dip.) My favorite is the mole, it's a sweeter than average mole but has great flavor. The rice is perfectly cooked and has little bits of carrot which is a nice touch. The drinks are good. Everything is just really satisfying. We've always had very nice service too, and it's fast. The only thing I don't like is that the lighting is cold, almost clinical.

5-stars for our food and service! We ordered taco salads. The shredded chicken was super tender and juicy. Our bowls were flaky and fresh. We will definitely be back!

Best Mexican food in Corvallis. Their margaritas are unmatched.

There were 7 of us in our party and we all felt that the food was just OK and would not go back. I ordered the flight of margaritas which was 6 “different” flavors in smaller servings. Sounded like a good idea and very interesting but was pretty much a joke. Each one was a different color but none of us could tell the difference in taste from one to the other. Spent a lot of money for mediocre food and experience. There has to be better Mexican food somewhere in Corvallis.
