El Palenque Mexican Restaurant is known for its delicious and flavorful Mexican food. The chopped beef fajita meat remains a popular choice, often added to quesadillas and other dishes. The Yucatan dish, featuring crispy bacon, is also a favorite. With a festive atmosphere and colorful walls, the restaurant can get crowded during weekend dinners, enhancing its lively vibe.
The service is generally excellent, with attentive and friendly servers like Speedy and Christian. They ensure drinks are always full and that the table is well-arranged. While the salsa may be considered bland compared to other Tex-Mex places, the food's overall quality compensates for it. The restaurant has a lot of history and continues to be a great choice for both casual and special occasions, with servers who feel like family.
El Palenque has a shared parking lot with other shops, so it’s important to be patient and safe while looking for spots. It is a fantastic option for those seeking authentic and tasty Tex-Mex food in a festive atmosphere, complemented by excellent service.
