Worth the experience and likely really is one of the best in the town. Trying the limited time dessert is fun and unique. Perhaps it’s a bit too small inside; a lot of regulars. I would consider trying again if I come into the area again.

My partner and I decided to check this place out after reading rave reviews on several different sites. Being new to the area, I have no good frame of reference for what good restaurants are available to me yet, but I can usually rely on ratings to steer me in the right direction. I can genuinely say I’ve never been so disappointed in a “Mexican” restaurant as I was at El Palenque. Ironically the best thing we had there were the complimentary chips and salsa. My partner’s tacos were flavorless at best. My combo platter was underwhelming and tasted like it was freshly pulled from the freezer and popped in the microwave. The beef in the burrito had the texture of ground dog food and was similar in flavor. To top it all off, we spent the next 24 hours fighting each other for access to the restroom, with him being sent home halfway through his work shift because he looked and felt like death. One star is not low enough. It takes a lot for me to feel the need to review a place, but this one is well deserving. The staff made us feel like we were a burden simply for being there (on a Saturday afternoon), and our server didn’t have even the most basic knowledge of the menu (who works somewhere but doesn’t even know what protein options are available in each item??)

Food was good. Would have liked the option for spicier sauces or entrees, but still good.

Weirdly enough, it was some of the best Mexican food I’ve had. I can’t say it was the most authentic but damn it did taste good

I had the monster burrito. It was very good it came with a side of chips and salsa. I also ordered a side of cheese dip and chips. However I only got one side of chips. The chips are pretty thick, so they tasted almost stale. So I don’t know if I would have ate a second bag anyway, but I still should have got it since I paid for it. I’ll try them again in the future.
