The food was very authentic!! I really enjoyed the elotitos: they were truly grilled. And the quesabirria tacos were very tasty. The second best I’ve ever had (and I’ve tried a lot!). The limes were juicy and the waitress was very attentive.

Amazing staff! We received free chips with a bean dip on top. It feels like nothing is free these days, so I felt so grateful. The chips and tacos were amazing and fresh ! I’ll be back.

The food here is absolutely amazing. Had the quesabirria tacos and I am legit going to be making another trip into town just to have them again! Fast service, great staff.. I am a fan!

We devoured takeout from Palenque for Mother's Day. We shared their freshly-made tortilla chips with guacamole plus corn on a stick. Our family sampled chicken and beef tacos plus mole for our main courses. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The prices are reasonable for the generous portions. We also appreciate that they have vegan and vegetarian meal options. Come prepared since it's a cash-only business. Drinks are BYOB but they have soda and coffee. This is a great option if you're looking for late night dinner or snacks, because they are open daily until midnight.

Great hole in the wall spot! Very authentic. Tacos were great as were the enchiladas verdes. Service was good. Great portion size. Meat (chicken, pork) could use to be a little more tender. Comes with chips and salsa which is awesome.

A modest outside conceals a bright and inviting interior. The service is excellent and very friendly. The cook even came out go ask how were.

The food is amazing, even the complimentary homemade chips!! The Horchata was delicious also! The decor is nice and bright and the music was good too.

We will be back regularly!!

It doesn't get any more authenticity than this. This place was highly recommended by a regular and I see why. My quesadilla was amazing.

There is a lot of Mexican food in the area, including spots considerably busier. This is a head above the rest and the value is very good. The salsas that come complimentary with chips are excellent. I recommend the chiles rellenos tacos. Lots of good vegetarian and vegan options, they are specifically listed out on the wall next to the kitchen.
