The quesabirria with consommé was absolutely delicious--rich, juicy, and packed with authentic taste.

On top of that, the service was friendly and fast, making the whole experience even better. You can tell they take pride in their food and customer experience. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to--and I highly recommend it to anyone craving great Mexican food!

I think the quesa birra taco would be better but somehow I ordered wrong so will update next time I try. I don't recommend the ramen because the noodle is overcooked; they do give a lot of meat tho. I also tried al pastor and campechano (steak, al pastor, and chorizo (slightly spicy)). They are both okay, but would love to have some pineapple in there. Would like the option to be able to mix birria taco with others. Watermelon agua fresca is good.

There is no compromise on flavor or regional style. This is by a large margin the best Mexican food I have had in Philadelphia. They get bonus points for selling the tacos a la carte. No more settling for a specific amount of tacos or the ability to mix and match. I don't know why most restaurants out here only sell tacos by groups of 3. I can't recommend this restaurant enough.

My partner and I came for an early lunch in a Saturday and it was pretty quiet, but I absolutely loved the meal and I can only hope it's busier at other times. The meal started with a complimentary and artfully-presented plate of tortilla chips and accoutrements plus two incredibly fresh-tasting salsas, a bright salsa verde and a hot chipotle salsa. I saw that they have tamales as a weekend specials, so I ordered two of them (with mole of course) plus a side nopal salad. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the nopal salad also came with diced avocado and it was a great veggie side! The tamales were HUGE (I had to take some home) and some of the best I've had. The mole was just as good as I hoped, smoky and deep and slightly sweet. I tried a bite of my partner's enchiladas which I also liked, though we wondered if they mixed up his order of enchiladas with salsa roja with a different tomato sauce on the menu. Just a reason to come back though, they had an impressive array of enchilada options that I want to try. For the amount of food we got plus a horchata - they had to push over another table to fit our dishes - the bill was shockingly affordable! That sealed the deal for me to want to come back again. Definitely have to try the titular mole poblano dish with chicken sometime!

Walking into Palenque was cozy and warming as I got my pickup order. The decoration made it feel…read morelike I was in a happy home ready to serve buss ass food flavortown. Watch your step, this place has TWO floors (technically). Elotitos (8.1/10) - Not only was this my first time having baby elotes (they were just cut in half), they were also roasted which brought a new flavor that I never got from an elote before. The spice was strong, the corn was sweet, and the crema was crema-y. I wish the toppings were more evenly distributed, with some bites being pure spice and others being only crema or neither spice or crema. Quesabirria (8.4/10) - Solid taco, they did not skimp out on meat or cheese, oh god it's everywhere. The tortilla had a nice crunch with each bite, and the meat had a lot of juice to offer. Peppers and onions were beautifully included on the side which gave a depth a flavor that matched nicely with these tacosssss. Consome (7.4/10) - When i first dipped my taco in the consome, I didn't really catch much flavor from it. But after trying it on its own, there was some level of richness which also felt nice to drink (very warming). I was surprised to discover some rice on the bottom which added extra levels of soupiness. I recommend soaking your tacos in the consome after every bite, which really deepens the flavor and moisture in the taco. While you're at it get some of that rice on there too. Light green sauce (8.5/10) - My go to sauce option for mexican food, this sauce did not disappoint. Bringing both flavor anddd spice to the table. The viscosity was on the watery side a little bit, and the spiceness level was higher than i anticipated. Light red sauce (8.7/10) - This sauce was spicier than I was prepared for, but the flavor was even spicier. The combination of creaminess and spice really did for me, making this a personal preference of mine over my usually favorite green sauce. A light taste of tomato and pepper highlights this sauce, the creaminess of the sauce blended superbly with the tacos cheesy creaminess. BEWARE, this sauce can overpower your tacos and you will feel a burning sensation in the mouth and possibly throat (although tempting do not drink it pls) Dark green sauce (5.7/10) - I wasn't aware of this sauce variant. bringing the green sauce flavor and adding a smoky twist to it was a bold choice indeed. In my humble opinion, this combo doesn't do it for me, with the smokiness overtaking the rest of the flavors and leaving your mouth confused and spicy. Dark red sauce (5.8/10) - On these tacos, this smoky red sauce was overpowering to the point where they clashed. Although i do see potential in this sauce with a better pairing (i.x. chicken). I do appreciate the spicy tone you get in its aftertaste, but the barbecueness of the flavor just takes away from the taco and almost makes you forget that you're eating one. This meal was one thoroughly enjoyed by yours truly, and only receiving a lower rating than usual because I was still hungry :( Inca Kola not included with this meal, just my personal touch. I do NOT recommend drinking this after drinking all the sauces... Overall meal score - 8.5/10

Gotta love hearing a great story from a guy like this who opened up his own family restaurant. Fabio made us feel like we were welcome in his home. The bandeja paisa (I may be butchering this name) was absolutely incredible. I haven't had much Colombian food in my life, but the flavors here are unbelievable. It's about $16 for this plate of food, but that EASILY makes 2 meals. It comes with a variety of deliciously seasoned meats, with many different carbohydrate vessels to demolish them in. The tostones here were a real treat, you can't just get them prepared like this anywhere. I'm not totally sure how they made the sauce that they make available on the table, but it is an incredible salsa-type creation that can be slathered on top of anything to take it to the next level. Fabio - I beg of you to open a restaurant in Fishtown (or some other place where there are many millennials). They would love to explore a place such as this, and YOU are the guy to make it happen!
