A well run, clean restaurant. It got my attention from a recommendation from my hotel clerk. I…read moreasked where she ate Mexican in town and this is the one. Parking was easy and while the restaurant was busy I was seated immediately. Chips and salsa came almost as quickly. My sweet tea was very tasty and the chips were fresh. The salsa was more my taste of without a kick to it. There were bottles of hot sauce on the table if needed. I didn't needed. I ordered the taco salad. A rather pedestrian item, but I wasn't hungry, per se. The shell was crisp and freshly cooked. The chicken was plentiful and the other parts of the salad were fresh and delicious. I will return when I'm back in town or maybe one more time this week. A gem of a place.

We were seated immediately and asked for our drink preference. There were a lot of tacos ordered at our table and El Palenque was right on it. Our server was attentive and never let our drinks get empty. I'm sure a few other delights like enchiladas and fajitas were ordered but the tacos had the majority. Everyone was happy and full by the time we left. Pro Tip: Order some queso to go with the chips and salsa they bring out.

And the taco salad shell was stale, tasteless & gummy on the bottom as though the order sat for a long time before serving. When my party complained about the taco salad, we were informed "that's just the way it is- order the meat to be separate and it won't happen" we were told. We won't be going back.
