" El Palenque has quickly become one of my go-to Mexican spots. I love their variety of dishes, and each visit, I try something new. The shrimp tacos have been a standout for me! The only downside was that on my last visit, the service was a bit slow, but the food made it worth the wait. Just be sure to check the specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Palenque is known for great food, but the service on my last visit left something to be desired. It wasn't awful, but it took quite a while for our server to check on us. The food was delicious as always; the carne asada tacos were some of the best I've had. I think I’ll give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)
