Excellent service and food!!! Chips & salsa arrived moments after seating when waiter arrived to take drink orders. Table side guac was amazing. Tasted really fresh & was huge! Loved the side of cilantro & onions that you could add to your taste. Queso Fundido with Chorizo was lick the bowl good."Entrees were all good. Chicken street tacos were really flavorful as was chicken quesadilla. Steak fajitas also very good. Left stuffed with half the guac all for $75 before tip.

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.

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!

Food was great, margaritas were even better! They seemed a bit discombobulated during the dinner rush and didn't remember we were in line waiting for a table so it took us a moment to get seated. Otherwise, we had a fine dining experience.

Found this super cute authentic Mexican restaurant and struck gold! We had the queso blanco and salsa dip, margaritas, and soft tacos. The Margaritas were amazing! They weren't watered down and were spot on!Tacos!!!!!!! Were so flavorful, perfect amount of seasoning, and the mozzarella cheese that was added was actually shredded by hand! ( our server told us they come in as big bricks) The queso dip was not too spicy!! Win for us! And was very thick! We will definitely be returning

I had dinner here with a group on 11/7/23 and it was amazing! Carlos was such an outstanding server and he took the time to explain the menu and made suggestions on what he'd think we would like. He explained they don't use any sour mix and all the drinks use fresh citrus juices, which is OUTSTANDING! I ordered the Cantaritos, which everyone should try if they can have lime, orange, and grapefruit juices because it's delicious (and beautiful). I also had the street tacos and they were awesome. The tequila bar and interior in general is gorgeous. I'm glad I live so close, because I'll be back!

Surprisingly great! I was headed to Cracker Barrel for a mediocre meal on the way to the airport when I spotted El Palenque. The large parking lot was mostly empty on a Saturday at noon, I jumped on yelp to check it out and it looked to be worth a try. Glad I did. I was seated immediately and greeted by multiple staff members. They brought chips and salsa quickly and were prepared with a recommendation when I asked about drink specials. The chips are good and the salsa is authentic. I ordered the steak lunch fajitas, a great value at $10. The house margarita isn't amazing, but not bad. Atmosphere is fun and clean. I may have to make this my routine stop when in Cleveland. Grateful to have found a good spot with friendly staff. I will definitely be back.

Combo fajitas, lots of food, and fresh. BUT..... Very bland, dry and even the rice and guacamole didn't even have flavor. Won't waste our time again.
