" Having lived in San Francisco for a few years now, I consider myself somewhat of a taco connoisseur. I stumbled upon El Palenque Taqueria when a friend recommended it, and I'm so glad I did! The three fish tacos I ordered were incredible. They tasted fresh, and the portions were impressive, especially for the price. The atmosphere had a cozy, neighborhood feel and the staff was exceptionally friendly. My new go-to! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was lucky enough to find El Palenque by chance. My partner and I enjoyed their carne asada fries, and let me tell you, they were divine! The crispiness of the fries with the juicy meat and salsa made for a perfect meal. Service was quick, and the atmosphere was chill. Will certainly come back when I'm in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I highly recommend El Palenque! Their burritos are enormous and packed with flavor. I've tried many different items on the menu, and nothing has ever disappointed me. The staff is generally attentive, but during busy hours, they tend to get overstretched. Overall, a fantastic spot for Mexican food! If you're in the area, it's a must-visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! El Palenque Taqueria is an absolute gem! The flavors are authentic and rich, making each bite memorable. I ordered a super burrito, and the quantity exceeded my expectations. The service was prompt and super friendly, which added to the overall positive experience. I can't recommend this place enough if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit El Palenque, I leave satisfied! Their tacos are excellent, and my kids love the bean burritos. The prices are fantastic, especially considering how high-quality the food is. The only downside is limited seating, but I usually get takeout anyway. I would highly suggest anyone in the area to check it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" The last time I visited El Palenque, the quality was not up to their usual standards. The steak burrito I got was dry and lacked the authentic flavor I’ve grown to expect. I'll give it another try soon as they have been good to me in the past, but the inconsistency is concerning. Hopefully, next time will be better! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a frequent customer at El Palenque and will keep coming back! Their variety of authentic dishes maintains consistent quality at affordable prices. The staff knows me by name, which adds to the friendly atmosphere. The only downside is that it can get packed during lunch hours, but I have never left unsatisfied! " (*Curated Review*)
