    Rice is so nasty, dry and taste like 5 days old. The corn in the rice was black, thinking burnt corn? Tamales were extra salty. All 4 of our breakfast burritos were green. $60 for this???? So disappointing

    Shredded beef burrito

    This was in my shredded beef burrito last night. When my son reached out to tell them, they told him it may not have been from them. Who the heck would it be from then? It was gross. I don't even want to think of what part of a cow it came from.

    Being born and raised in Denver, I have eaten at pretty much every Tamale Kitchen. They are hit or miss. This one is a hit. Called about 5 minutes before arriving to order a breakfast burrito. When I arrived it was ready. There was a short line that moved very quickly. The lady at the counter was polite and very efficient at getting us all served. the burrito was great! No complaints!

    I'm so glad I got to come here while I was home! This is my favorite location, the people are friendly and for whatever reason the food tastes better. I always order the chicken taco plate and a crispy Chile relleno smothered sooooo good this store is always clean too!!!!

We arrived early at 5pm and it was already packed! The secret is out! Service was friendly. Margs were delicious. Good was great. Loved that the Burria tacos are crispy and not so oily that so many places get wrong. Chips, salsa and guacamole were great. Breakfast burritos all day which made my friend and husband very happy. I would probably get the tacos next time. We will definitely be back! Parking was easy to find on the street.

I don't remember what I ordered though so at the time it just wasn't very stand out-ish. I recently went back with some friends because I told them I was in the mood for tacos. I tried a few different ones, the Carnitas, the Barbacoa, and the Lengua. I was full with three, but it was so good. I ordered a fourth and my husband who normally gets my leftovers - didn't get any leftovers from me this time! He got a couple different tacos from what I had largely. We ordered about the same, but he got the shrimp which he said was delicious as well. I also tried the signature, Bellanova margarita - I must say that was a little unexpected, not your traditional margarita it was very sweet, so probably not something I'd order again since I prefer stronger tasting drinks, but the coconut flavor in it was delicious if you like coconut. The service was excellent! When we arrived, the interior was super packed and super loud so I was very relieved when we got to sit on the back patio, which turned out great because even though there was a little noise there, we were able to hear each other much better. The server was excellent. She kept checking on us. She answered all our questions and was very kind and accommodating. I've been thinking about the tacos since then, it's been about a week, I can't wait to go back.

One great thing is that there are a many options for vegetarians. I had the portobello mushroom fajitas and they were delicious. Came with rice and beans - these guys know how to cook rice, and that is not something I say about many places, including places that feature rice dishes! The drinks were strong and so well made. They also serve breakfast all day. Granted, it is a Mexican-themed breakfast, but the menu looked good and I will probably try that next time I am over there. Our server was attentive and pleasant. He neglected to put my wife's order in (to which she said "No problem" because the fajita dish was big enough for two, so we split), and was properly apologetic. The manager also came over to check when she heard, and at the end there was a 10% discount even though we never complained or wanted that. Proactive service is the best!

Once it cooled it became thick and coagulated. Not super appealing. I ordered 1 pescado and 1 vegan, not normally my jam but I thought I'd try it. One bite and had to set it back down. Tasted old refrigerator -- and no salt. It was quite disgusting. The Pescado was ok - pretty much what I would have expected. Not warm though. My wife ordered 1 al Pastor and 1 carnitas taco. Both were room temperature. Told the waitress and she brought another Al Pastor and it was the same temperature. The carnitas appeared to be yesterday's meat so hard and inedible. -- she lost her appetite and didn't eat anything else. Long story short, we won't be returning to Palenque ( note: the mgr removed the al pastor from the bill )

I ordered the quesadilla with carne asada and it came with two sides of sour cream, one mild salsa, and one hot salsa. It also came with garnish on the side of lettuce and tomatoes. The quesadilla was very good it had cheese, carne asada, onions, and some other peppers. It was not super spicy but definitely had a lot of flavor in my opinion. The cheese was extremely rich and made for a great quesadilla! The burger was very good, it came with a big side of fries that were very seasoned! The fries had a lot of salt, pepper, and other spices on it. I love salty food and thought it was perfect. But some people might think it was too much so you may want to ask light salt or no seasoning at all. The burger was very good and every bite had great flavor with the smack sauce, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and onion. I enjoyed both items that I ordered and had plenty left over to eat later. It was a little pricey as I paid $28 for the quesadilla and burger but it was reasonably priced for the portion size and quality of the food. I just expect things to be a little cheaper when it comes to food trucks. The service was very good, I had an older Hispanic couple running the truck when I visited and they were very kind, professional, and put love into the food. The ambiance is cool, I mean it is a food truck with no seating. They have some chairs outside but no table. They also sell drinks, the options that I saw were Coke and Pepsi. I would definitely give snack daddy's a try if you are around downtown Littleton and want to support this small business. I will definitely be back to try some more of the menu.

To start, we were seated right next to the back door with an alarm peeping the entire time, despite the restaurant being practically empty. The service was disappointing from the beginning. It took quite a while for our server to greet and take our order, and we didn't receive enough menus or water for everyone at the table. Once the order was placed our server disappeared. No follow-up, no check-ins and the when food finally arrived meals and bills were mixed up. I had hope to place a to-go order, but the lengthy wait left me out of time. I later return specifically to place that to-go order hoping for a better experience, but unfortunately it was more of the same. The constant "honey" " darling" and "sweetheart" felt force and insincere, almost mocking . Which only added to the frustration. If you are looking for good Mexican food and don't mind poor service or less-than pleasant dining experience, this is the place for you! If customer service matters you might want look elsewhere

The host was welcoming and was provided with chips and salsa right away. The server was quick to welcome us, taking our drink orders, and providing us with more time with the menu due to our first visit. The menu is extensive and has the standard offerings of other local Mexican restaurants. Lunch included the Chimichanga with green chili and sides of rice and beans, and the other a combo plate of the Beef Burrito, Cheese Enchilada and Pork Tamale. The server asked if we wanted mild, medium or hot green chili, which was a nice offering. For us the hot green chili was very good, with enough heat to make us "sweat", but not overpower our taste buds. The medium was just about right for nice flavorful meal with the lingering heat. All the meals were served quickly and piping hot and had nice flavor all around. Overall, the lunch was good and service excellent, and parking was great with plenty of off-street parking. I would not hesitate to return when in the mood for some consistent and comfort Mexican food, and great service.
