If you get a window seat, you can see the Kaleideum Children's Museum. Be sure to plan on a trip to the museum if you are with kids. There was music playing for lunch but it wasn't too loud. The food is good. There's free refills on the horchata which is made in house. Chips and salsa are served the moment you sit down. I ordered the Steak Tapatio which was good but didn't feel like it was made with ribeye which is usually tender and flavorful. The steak in this dish was tough even to cut but still yummy. However, the potholder used to serve the dish was filthy and the knife to cut it was so loose I couldn't use it to cut the tough steak. . My husband ordered the carnitas. It was perfect. There was enough between those to plates to share with small children. The interior is beautifully decorated in bright colors with Mexican motifs. Even the glassware is exquisitely handblown with swirling colors. The servers and staff were friendly and attentive but not obtrusive. We were greeted when we arrived and wished a warm farewell when we left.

Dropping in recently, I didn't see many changes to the interior of the restaurant from its previous incarnation. The menu seemed a bit different, at least in design and layout, and I noticed at least a few options I didn't recall from the Mi Pueblo days. I picked once of those, pork in salsa verde. In the meantime I sipped on a simple margarita and ate a few chips. My time here was during dinner hours, and I was really surprised to see how few patrons were present. The waiter said that wasn't unusual for an evening early in the week, and that business was substantially heavier in the later half of the week. Throughout my time in the eatery, I'm certain there were more employees on site than there were diners. The kitchen was able to process my order very quickly, likely a result of the low patronage, and so I didn't get to eat many of those chips before my plate showed up. The chunks of pork were tender enough to pull apart with my fork, and the green sauce surrounding them had a pleasant flavor and the right amount of potency for me. I hardly had enough of the salsa to accompany the meat though; a less stingy portion would have been appreciated. Rice and beans were about what you'd find at any Mexican restaurant in our area. The guac salad seemed very light on guacamole though, and the lettuce shreds were pale white. The menu has mentioned there would be avocado slices on the plate too, but no avocado was provided aside from that found within the tiny blob of guacamole. I remember hearing that the transition to Ma'Luz was intended to represent an upscaling, a somewhat fancier option. My experience didn't really feel that way. The food wasn't bad, especially the meat and salsa verde, but this didn't come across as any more special or satisfying an experience as in visits past. And maybe that's why the traffic they're getting isn't all that hectic or busy.

I know there were a few poor reviews for service on here but I would highly recommend you trying this place for yourself. Whatever issues they may have had seem to have been corrected. Very nice people and good food and drinks! We will be back.

We were greeted and ordered a pitcher of margaritas. She brought the margaritas and we didn't see her again. I had to wave someone down to come take our order. It was well over a good 20 to 25 mins we were waiting. We all ordered, get our food and again the waitress never came back to the table to check on us. This time I went to the hostess stand to ask them for our check. They were good, split the check 4 ways. I paid by credit card and left cash for a tip. Checked my account and they added another 5.00 tip onto the check. Not cool. We arrived at 6:30 and didn't leave until 8. Food was great, service just needs to step up a bit and don't add extra to the tab when it clearly states cash for tip.

My wife and I drove over to Winston-Salem to visit the first two Moravian settlements in North Carolina and needed a quick and good lunch and we decided on Camino real. This place is a solid four four and a half star Mexican restaurant. I would say they are very authentic and the staff was super friendly super welcoming they came and checked on us frequently and just sincerely wanted to see that we had a good experience. All of the food was good the chips were very fresh and the salsa was delicious as well. I knew I had heard the name of this place but couldn't remember where and then they reminded me that there is one in Greensboro on spring garden which I remembered that we had eaten at years ago. Definitely worth a visit they have a very extensive menu and I would not hesitate to go back

The interior was nicely decorated and the marachi style music in the back ground made it perfect for conversation. First, our server Olga, was fantastic, she helped us through the menu based on what we were saying about our likes. I call that service! One burrito had almost everything my wife wanted, she suggested another, with a slight substitution. And the Burrito Amigo was a hit. She ordered it with steak, which was tender and flavotful. I had the Taquitos Tipicos, great choice, I wish it came with beans and rice instead of all rice- but I didn't ask. Still very flavorful and done perfect. The pico was outstanding, I can't do a lot of spice, the pico was mild with all the flavors coming through, not just heat. My wife loved the margarittas, and you can't go wrong with cold Dos Equis. Sopapillas for desert topped the evening. I can't say enough about the service and attention, not over bearing, but they check frequently. I think very reasonably priced especially considering the service. Give them a try, Palenque will now be our go to Mexican when we're in town.

This is a great Mexican restaurant…read more We had a leisurely Sunday lunch here. The server was friendly and quick. She even thought to bring extra napkins for our sticky little eaters. We ordered the molcajete. It was huge and enough to feed a family of four with two small children. It literally has everything: pollo, carne asada, chorizo, nopales, beans, camarones, y aguacate. It comes in a huge cast iron goblet, served with tortillas. It's a great price too. We also ordered a side of rice and a cheese dip. Less than $40 for lunch and everyone was full is a great deal. The space is also gorgeous. There's murals on every wall. There's even an upstairs that looks like you are climbing up a pyramid. The only thing I didn't like was that it smelled like the air freshener from the toilets even in the bar. It was too strong. Otherwise, we will be back soon!
