" I had been hearing good things about Palenque, so I decided to take my family there. The decor was lively and colorful, really gave off a fun vibe. We ordered a variety of dishes, and everything arrived promptly. The fajitas I had were sizzling hot and very flavorful. Although Service was a bit slow initially, the staff were friendly and accommodating. They even brought us complimentary salsa while we waited. Overall, a satisfying experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Palenque continues to be my favorite Mexican spot. The food quality is consistently high. The shrimp tacos are a personal fave, absolutely delicious! They also have some of the friendliest staff around. I just love how they greet you and make you feel at home. If only they had some more parking space during weekends, it can get a bit crowded. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great find! Palenque’s food is simply to die for. Definitely try the molcajete; it's a feast for the senses! The staff made us feel welcomed and were very attentive. Even though we visited during a busy Friday night, the service remained good. The prices are very reasonable for such quality. Can't wait to bring my family next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came across Palenque while searching for new places to eat, and I'm happy to have found it! The atmosphere was lively, and the food was truly homemade and seasoned just right. While the service was average, the staff were polite and accommodating. Their salsa is the star for sure, I could eat it straight out of the bowl. Prepared to be impressed with their variety! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner at Palenque was a blast! I loved their vibrant decor and the friendly staff who welcomed us. The food was tasty, particularly the street tacos, which were a hit. I also enjoyed the margarita, though I felt it could have a bit more kick. A fun atmosphere for a night out with friends, and I would love to come back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Palenque reminds me of a little piece of Mexico. The decor is vibrant and playful, and the food is always authentic. I'm a frequent diner here and I particularly love their tamales and margaritas. That said, on my most recent visit, I found the chips a bit stale, which was unusual. Hopefully, it's a one-off as I love this place! " (*Curated Review*)
