Stopped here after a trip to The Wilds. The food was delicious, prices were great, & our waitress was amazing! We will definitely be back if we're ever down that way again!

Had a great time visiting El Palenque for the first time this past week. The atmosphere is the most underwhelming part of the visit. It does lack some character within but in my opinion the interior could be brought to life quite quickly. Service was perfect. Our server was knowledgeable and was not overbearing as most are nowadays in the service industry. She filled drinks as needed and provided adequate information and suggestions. The complimentary salsa was lacking any flavor identity or thickness. Again, complimentary. I won’t complain about free but it could be improved. Entree was incredible for my partner & I. We both get identical meals at El Parian & Tlaquepaque and it was truly next level. The seasonings were night & day. The cheese sauce was even better. They provide the El Yucateco hot sauce along with their homemade hot sauce. In conclusion, I highly recommend journeying 5-7 more minutes down the road to enjoy a more well-rounded Mexican dining experience at El Palenque.

Randomly ran across this place in a small town. Quality of the food was completely unexpected. When we arrived, it was fairly empty, but by the time we left, there was a wait for a table! Clearly locals know that this is a gem. I can definitely say that the food was delicious and the service was great!
