" Had lunch at Palenque last weekend, and I felt the need to share my experience. It's known for its authentic flavors and they did not disappoint! I tried the chilaquiles which were served piping hot with the right amount of salsa. The only downside is the wait time for food during peak hours—it was longer than expected. However, the flavors made it worthwhile, and I would recommend trying this place—it's a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" The authenticity of the food at Palenque Restaurant is commendable! Every dish I tried felt genuine and reflected the true flavors of Mexico. I especially loved the tacos de pescado. They were so fresh and had an incredible flavor profile. However, I felt the seating was a bit cramped which made dining a little less enjoyable at times. Still, I cannot fault the food and will certainly be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m particularly fond of Palenque for its unique blend of flavors and authenticity. Every time I visit, the food feels home-cooked. The burritos especially are loaded with delicious ingredients. One downside is that the seating can be a bit cramped during busy hours—but that just shows how beloved the place is! Regardless, they have my business. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at Palenque recently after hearing rave reviews, and I can see why! The food was incredibly tasty, especially the hand-pressed tortillas. I ordered the enchiladas and they were packed with flavor. Service was a bit slow at first, but the staff was lovely and made up for it. Overall, great experience and will definitely return for more delicious Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Palenque had a fantastic food selection, but our experience was marred by slow service. The tamales we ordered were delectable and fresh, showcasing their commitment to authentic preparations. While the food earns top marks from me, I hope the service can become more efficient so guests can enjoy it even more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Palenque was recommended by a friend and I'm so glad we went! The authenticity of their food is remarkable. You truly feel the rich Mexican culture through every dish. I had the shrimp tacos, and they were simply divine! Portions are ample for the price. Overall, service was attentive, though in busy hours it can get a little hectic. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Palenque is a delightful spot for authentic Mexican food! The carne asada was marinated to perfection. I did experience some wait time during dinner but the food made it worth it. Staff members are always smiling which is a welcoming touch. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for quality food in a casual atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)
