    a neon sign in a restaurant
    Robin B.

    I love that they serve chips and salsa while you're deciding what to order. They have it all and the enchiladas are hot, cheesy and covered in red sauce. I've been to El Palenque a couple of times and the tacos are pretty good too! Service is quick and friendly with lots of indoor seating so you can stay cool on those hot days.

    This restaurant was ok, I wish they wouldn't drown good Mexican food in this cheese sauce but they seem to at all three Mexican places I have tried. I'm from California and I have never seen this sauce there. The beans were fantastic and I truly enjoyed their salsas! I asked for a hot sauce to go with the first salsa and mixed together they were bomb! I was not a fan of the ground beef in the burrito it reminded me of corned beef hash. The chili relleno was decent but stop with the cheese sauce! The service was very good! I would eat here again though, the fajitas smelled really good! Hopefully no cheese!

    Combination Special with tostada, taco, tamale, enchilada, and chili Pablano relleno

    The food is authentic Mexican, and served very hot off the grill and on hot plates. The salsa is really good, not too hot. If you want your salsa really hot, ask for the Thor red sauce. This is good food!

    This lunch was so big, it became dinner, too!

    In this area,my here are 3 Mexican restaurants, and we've eaten in all three. This is the best! Never disappoints! And the staff is very friendly and efficient. Lunches are as large an dinners, and for us, leftovers become dinner! This place deserves to be busy all the time!good, authentic food at a good price!

    Mexicans Burrito.

    This is not real Mexican food. They ask if you want white or red sauce on your enchiladas.

    Was eating my salsa and cheese dip mixture and pulled out a small rubber band. Did not enjoy that…read more I was at my house and not in the restaurant. The place needs to be more observant and careful.

    We arrived at El Palenque in Ash Flat at 2:45 in the afternoon. Lunch specials are available until…read more3:00. Chips, salsa, and drinks arrived immediately. After about 5 minutes I placed our orders. I had a simple bean tostada. I ordered a lunch special for my husband: I asked for the lunch special with the chile relleno, chicken taco, beans, and guacamole salad. The waiter asked, "do you want rice?" I said, "do you get rice with that lunch special? He replied, "no." I said, "then, no, just what comes with the special." My dish was perfect. However, my husband received a plate with the relleno, BEEF taco, rice, and beans---no guacamole salad. I asked if rice was supposed to come with the order. The waiter replied, "yes." My husband mentioned that he ordered a chicken taco, but it didn't seem to register on the waiter. When the bill arrived my husbands plate was 11.00, instead of the lunch special---6.50. I pointed out to the waiter that I ordered the lunch special. He took it over to another worker who mulled it over go a bit, then came to the table, gave me the same bill and said next time order by number. Ok, I'm not gonna make a scene, BUT, THE ERROR WAS NOT MINE. If employees cannot understand English, ok, but let me know. I will order by number, and use my limited Spanish. I paid for the waiters mistake, and I don't like it. Won't be back for awhile.
