" Very solid experience at Palenque. The food was authentic, and the service was exceptional. I got the tres leches cake for dessert, and it was heavenly. There was a little wait to be seated, but the atmosphere made up for it—the decor was vibrant, and the music was perfect for enjoying good food with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was recommended to me by a coworker, and it did not disappoint! I loved the attention to authentic flavors. The carnitas were tender, and the salsa was spicy just the way I like it. The ambiance is vibrant, perfect for a night out. However, my only complaint was that we had to wait for a while to get seated, but once we were in, everything was fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for my friend’s birthday, and we had a blast! The bottomless mimosas were a hit, and the food arrived quickly. I had the breakfast burrito, and it was filling and delicious. The atmosphere was festive, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. If you’re having a special occasion, this place definitely delivers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lunch at Palenque is a must if you’re in the area! I had the carne asada fries, and they were massive and so tasty. The cocktails were also top-notch. The only downside was the noise level; it was challenging to hold a conversation at times. But that didn’t take away from how great the overall experience was! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a find! Palenque Kitchen is a hidden gem in the city! The flavors were spot on, providing that authentic taste that is hard to find elsewhere. The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxed, making it perfect for any occasion. I will definitely be heading back soon to share this treasure with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Palenque for a family celebration, and it was fantastic! We had a large group, and our server, Eddie, handled everything flawlessly, making sure the food was exactly to our liking. The fajitas were out of this world, packed with flavor and freshness. I especially loved how the restaurant maintained an authentic vibe. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Palenque has really become one of my favorite spots. I brought a friend this time, and we both loved everything from the margaritas to the tacos. They do have a happy hour that makes the visit even better. I also appreciated how attentive the staff were, always checking back to see if we needed anything. I'm counting down the days until my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
