    Fajita Lunch Special
    Jessica C.

    El Palenque was A-okay. We had just flown into the airport to visit family and needed somewhere close for lunch. I got the fajita lunch special with steak. The quality of the steak was not great and I wasn't crazy about the seasoning. My stepdaughter got some chicken tacos, but said no after one bite. We tasted the tacos and they were very salty. My husband got a grilled chicken dish, which was the best out of the bunch. The rice & beans were yummy. Management was very friendly and accommodating about the salty tacos. The best thing about El Palenque was the friendliness of the staff.

    AWESOME FOOD!!! This place is my go to Mexican place to eat. The food is to die for. The waiter/waitress are awesome. I have yet to receive a bad vibe/review from this place. ***BUEN PROVECHO***

    Enchiladas, queso, margarita

    I thought this was a solid meal! I am very set in my ways when I go to a Mexican restaurant. I always get enchiladas Rojas. This time was a good visit, some of my party got margaritas, we also got a queso to share. Something interesting about the queso was that they didn't have plain queso on the menu, they only had queso fundido with chorizo, so if that's what you prefer, you can still order it. Would definitely go back to the Tiedeman location, I know they have other locations in the area so I would have to try those before recommending. We came in just before 5 PM on a Thursday so it was not crowded and we were able to be seated quickly.

    Mexican Street Tacos

    I have been here before and the food was good, but I didn't care for the food this time. They do have good guacamole though. Our waitress was nice and restaurant seemed clean. The lighting is dark inside, but they do have a patio as well. We got the mexican street tacos & the quesabirria tacos. I would probably try them again, but order differently.

    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.

    Chile con Queso, Guacamole, El Palenque Tacos & Burrito Azteca
    Lizzy L.

    Pretty good! It got packed as soon as we sat down. Just a constant stream of people coming in. It was a little loud but nearly every seat was taken! The food was good for the price. We got Chile con queso, Guacamole, Burrito Azteca and El Palenque tacos. The tacos were good besides the steak one, just too overcooked and too much gristle. The burrito was decent but on the menu doesn't state that sour cream is on the inside. The ranchero also wasn't on the burrito unfortunately. The guacamole was super good just needed some extra salt!! Overall a good mexican place to add to your dine out list!

    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!

    Street Tacos

    Enjoyed El Palengue, Brooklyn location, with a group or 25+ last night! My star rating is motivated by the amazing service. The entire restaurant was busy, and we still got drinks, food, and checks in a timely manner. The food came out quickly and was served hot (sometimes with larger groups, it isn't). The food was good, typical Mexican with yummy homemade sauces.

    Margarita, chips, and salsa dip
    Delicia P.

    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

    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.

    Margarita!!
    Paula R.

    This place never disappoints. The food, drinks and service are always good. I order a peach mango margarita and chicken street tacos. Both were amazing. I did not enjoy the complimentary chips and salsa, but I prefer warm chips. The salsa is good.

    Took awhile to be seated. Salsa was bland. Margarita was nothing but way too sour mix. Left and ate somewhere else.
