We always appreciate the great food and the atmosphere at El Palenque. It is not as loud or as crowded as other Mexican eateries and the freshly made salsa and tortilla chips are a treat. Parking can be hard to find right outside - additional parking is available around the corner.

Great comfort food, Mexican-style. Chicken fajitas are excellent! Chicken soup is also wonderful - fresh and healthy! Owner knows his customers and is interested in their lives. Wait staff is friendly and responsive. A little gem of local ownership in a town that is sadly losing this! We love this place!

Basic, reliable, fine tasting Mexican food like we grew up with if not a little boring, somewhat dated interior and the price is reasonable for what you get. It’s just not as upscale as some of the newer Mexican dining has become. I do like the ownership and the way they treat their customers.
