About El Palenque

El Palenque is a favorite Mexican restaurant in Houston, praised for its excellent, delicious, and authentic food. Dishes like the Garden Fajita plate, chile relleno, and Paquete #4 from the catering menu are described as fresh, flavorful, very tasty, and offering large portions with plenty of leftovers. The chips and salsa are very fresh. Reviews highlight a fantastic, friendly service and a very clean, festive, and inviting atmosphere. The drinks and prices also receive high praise. However, there is a serious complaint regarding a hair in the food and unacceptable customer service, with a reported lack of resolution or refund.
