My wife and I were in the mood for some Mexican food and settled on Palenque for dinner. We were…read moreseated immediately in a nice booth. The salsa and chips were delivered before we could get settled. We both ordered Fajitas, one chicken and one steak. The caramelized onions were delicious with the steak. For dessert I ordered the Flan. WOW! Amazing! I make my own Flan, which, I've been told is pretty darn good. Palenque's was better. So creamy and perfect caramel sauce. Worth coming just for that. If you're in the McFarland area, this restaurant won't disappoint.

The menu is pretty large, and this is some delicious Tex-Mex/Mexican food. I ordered the fajitas and had extra to take home for the next day as leftovers. The margaritas are pretty big and the price is quite reasonable. They also have non-alcoholic Corona and non-alcoholic margaritas, so there are options for everyone. We had a group of 8 meet here recently for book club and we all had a range of great drinks - alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The chips and salsa are on point. I would come here way more often if they had an a la carte street tacos option with the cilantro and onion. There's an asada tacos meal (with the rice/beans and all that) which I am hoping to try sometime soon. A great little local spot that I definitely recommend!

Anyway, overall very nice people and staff. The food, I have to say, was fine. I think the complementary chips and salsa were fine. The crispy taco was also ok. I didn't care for the enchiladas as the cheese wasn't very melty and both green and red sauces could've used some depth to them. Portion sizes are pretty decent, and we had leftovers, but we were visiting from out of town, so we couldn't really take it with. Oh yeah, I'm still left with the million $ question - why do they have an Italian named Mexican place.

The chips and salsa came on a robot right away, which was a fun touch except our littlest kid was terrified. They have many kids options as well. We got kids quesadillas and kids burrito, quesadilla, fajita burrito, and enchiladas with margaritas. The drinks and food came quickly and were overall good. The burrito is huge and enough for multiple people to share. Overall the portion sizes were very large. I would have loved if the chips were warmed! Service 5/5: our waiter was very attentive and was flexible with us with our kids. Overall very accommodating. Ambiance 3/5: whenever I'm in a restaurant and it's empty, I always wonder why. Overall the booth we were at was cozy and there is plenty of space between tables. There is a claw machine at the entrance that our kids were obsessed with. We did leave with our clothed smelling like a Mexican restaurant (almost like a stinky ground beef smell). Overall this is a great option for people looking for a large menu and Mexican style food. The staff were friendly and the food was solid. I wish I could give a 3.5, but will round up instead.

The meat is seasoned beautifully, and the tortillas themselves were fried til crispy - and it's clear they were fried fresh. The rice and beans were no slouch either - everything reminded me of home. Arod's is otherwise a quaint and quiet store, with a skeleton crew running it both times I was there (and just the owner the first time). They haven't let me down - and I know I'll keep being a regular every time I'm in the area.
