Fajita Lunch Special
Jessica C.

El Palenque was A-okay. We had just flown into the airport to visit family and needed somewhere close for lunch. I got the fajita lunch special with steak. The quality of the steak was not great and I wasn't crazy about the seasoning. My stepdaughter got some chicken tacos, but said no after one bite. We tasted the tacos and they were very salty. My husband got a grilled chicken dish, which was the best out of the bunch. The rice & beans were yummy. Management was very friendly and accommodating about the salty tacos. The best thing about El Palenque was the friendliness of the staff.

Menu

Great fast service the hostess created us at the door with a smile.saturday special is 5.99 jumbo margaritas and 8.99 enchiladas. The drink was plenty I opted for the sampler Azteca which was the best of all worlds a perfect nacho chicken and beef flautas. My favorite guacamole on top. My dinner partner had the enchiladas which was a huge portion as well. I had never had fried ice cream so it was OK not anything like I had imagined but edible

La Oaxqueña
Katrina T.

We have been here twice now. Both times the wait was immediate or under 5min. The staff is very friendly and prompt. First visit- we got the street corn appetizer and tamale. It was ok. The corn had good flavor and could be shareable, if need be. I cut mine easily off the cob to share. They came with a lime wedge to squeeze on. The tamale was typical, good flavor and consistency. For the mains I got the Chimichanga (plus is discounted on Friday's to under $10). You get two, one beef and one chicken. My preference was the chicken, I did not care for the beef one. It is a very small minced beef and had good flavor, I did not like the consistency feel of the tortilla/beef/sogginess from steam and cheese. Their rice is really well flavored! Second visit *pictured*- I ordered the ACP and was very surprised at how tender and flavorful the chicken was. Great portion size and served with tortillas. My husband got the la oaxaqueña, which was amazing! It was served like fajitas, arrived screaming hot and smoking. The flavor has a nice char and the meat was so tender. He definitely has found a new favorite! Served with another dish of rice and charro beans. The beans had a smooth base and chunky with beans, pork bacon, fat and almost like Vienna sausage cut up. They had a great smoky char taste and well seasoned. Two meals, one kid meal, 3 soda/tea drinks for $62 We are definitely impressed and look forward to coming back soon!

AWESOME FOOD!!! This place is my go to Mexican place to eat. The food is to die for. The waiter/waitress are awesome. I have yet to receive a bad vibe/review from this place. ***BUEN PROVECHO***

Enchiladas, queso, margarita
Katie M.

I thought this was a solid meal! I am very set in my ways when I go to a Mexican restaurant. I always get enchiladas Rojas. This time was a good visit, some of my party got margaritas, we also got a queso to share. Something interesting about the queso was that they didn't have plain queso on the menu, they only had queso fundido with chorizo, so if that's what you prefer, you can still order it. Would definitely go back to the Tiedeman location, I know they have other locations in the area so I would have to try those before recommending. We came in just before 5 PM on a Thursday so it was not crowded and we were able to be seated quickly.

Mexican Street Tacos
Jacqui C.

I have been here before and the food was good, but I didn't care for the food this time. They do have good guacamole though. Our waitress was nice and restaurant seemed clean. The lighting is dark inside, but they do have a patio as well. We got the mexican street tacos & the quesabirria tacos. I would probably try them again, but order differently.

We stayed at a hotel in the same parking lot as this restaurant. It was easy just to walk over. The place was busy but they sat us quickly. Brought us chips and salsa and took our drink order. Food didn't take too long to arrive. My daughter liked her seafood burrito and her man was happy with his. My carnitas unfortunately was dry and hard on the outside. They have a couple great murals inside. Don't see myself in that area again but I would try one more time with a different selection.

Chile con Queso, Guacamole, El Palenque Tacos & Burrito Azteca
Lizzy L.

Pretty good! It got packed as soon as we sat down. Just a constant stream of people coming in. It was a little loud but nearly every seat was taken! The food was good for the price. We got Chile con queso, Guacamole, Burrito Azteca and El Palenque tacos. The tacos were good besides the steak one, just too overcooked and too much gristle. The burrito was decent but on the menu doesn't state that sour cream is on the inside. The ranchero also wasn't on the burrito unfortunately. The guacamole was super good just needed some extra salt!! Overall a good mexican place to add to your dine out list!

Came here with my fiancé for a pretty early dinner. Thankfully, we were able to get a table quickly. We started off with queso and they also brought out complementary salsa. Both of them were very tasty. My entrée I ordered the rancheros enchiladas and subbed out chicken or shredded beef. All that was very good and we will be back!

Street Tacos
Lori Lynn C.

Enjoyed El Palengue, Brooklyn location, with a group or 25+ last night! My star rating is motivated by the amazing service. The entire restaurant was busy, and we still got drinks, food, and checks in a timely manner. The food came out quickly and was served hot (sometimes with larger groups, it isn't). The food was good, typical Mexican with yummy homemade sauces.

Took awhile to be seated. Salsa was bland. Margarita was nothing but way too sour mix. Left and ate somewhere else.
