M Luna
I went for an event. The food was delicious, especially the steak and beans. I asked for a spicy salsa and I got a delicious habanero salsa. The only item I did not like was the Cesar salad because the croutons had a bad oil taste. The desert was Ok. I totally recommend the stake and beans as they have the authentic Mexican flavor.

The food was good though pricy over $40/ head without drinks. But it really did taste good the server was very attentive even with the place being crowded. Forget a couple of things for each order though he corrected it.

My time visiting Palenque and reservations were made for 12:30 pm, but since I arrived 10 mins earlier, I could not be seated unless there were 2 ppl. I did not like sitting outside in the sun. The drink’s were not all the hype and the food was fair. Customer service was great. I truly enjoy pur server personality.

Great place to eat and drink. Fun vibe. The music and the atmosphere is fun. Shout out to Paolo, great service and knows how to show you a fun time. Food was delicious. Ample portions and the drinks are strong. Highly recommend for a group outing or even a nice date. Book a reservation online if you plan on going during peak hours, gets pretty full. Open late and plenty to do in the area afterwards.

Initially, walking in the ambience is pretty cool it’s dimly lit. The bar has a really nice set up and vibe to it.

Greeting was great! Vibe and food amazing (unlike previous reviews). No it won’t look like what is professionally photographed but it tastes yummy! Bar tender was good, nothing special. Mixed drinks are unique enough.

Honest Review Today
I understand inflation that being said, restaurants keep passing along the increases to their consumers. Instead of helping rising prices don’t expect any breaks like substitutions or extra anything without the price. Service could be better for the prices. Tip included, came out to $75 for a plate each and 1 alcoholic drink and 1 appetizer.

I would like to give 3 stars than 4! But in some way I thought it is not fair. Overall I can tell drinks here was good but the food was ok! We ordered chicken and asada tacos chips as starter. Here is good but definitely not very good!
