    Tacos yummy enough to share
    Stephen V.

    It seems my previous words about TJs were less than glowing. I won't revisit the issue that I must've allowed to get under my skin. Tonight, being Thursday, I am again a customer on behalf of my daughter. I really like TJs food but I truly prefer another place when I want a taste of Americanized Mexi foodstuff. But the potato oles kick ass and I nearly always get myself a large order alongside what I get for Nicole. Today however I'm a walk in visitor. It's been ages since I've been inside. What I first observe is a fully staffed kitchen of business. Clean stainless. Every visible surface. Excellent. Last week I stopped here, or rather intent on stopping I instead had to drive on by. Why? I wasn't sure. But they were dark. Today I saw that the driveway was refaced and lines painted anew. Again: an owner taking the costs of keeping the place fully fit. The dining area was plush with families enjoying themselves. Excellent. Floors and tables unfettered with debris. I really would appreciate a second Madison location again. 20yrs ago I used to visit the other one. I'd surely go again.

    Not sure what's going on here. The place is filthy. Almost every empty table had food slobbered on it. The floor felt like there was a layer of oil on it...almost fell a number of times when I first came in. I'm guessing this is no longer owned by the Klinzings, because no way would they be OK with the conditions. So sad because we will travel across town to come to the only TJ's in the area. May not return..... 1 month later I was stupid enough to give it another try and.... Just when I thought 1 Star was being tough! HA! How about -5 stars!!! Please don't waste your time, especially in the drive up. They NEVER EVER EVER get an order correct. I think we will be driving 2 hours to the Black River Falls or perhaps the one south of Madison. This is so incredibly disappointing.

    Overcooked dry donut bites missing frosting

    CUSTOMER BEWARE On our last visit the employees were great except the off the clock one who was hanging out debating his views on the wall and food stamps with a customer. Dakota was very attentive. The food wasnt so good. Today the employees were argumentative and a little rude. The tacos were FULL of grease. Not a couple drips but like an eighth of a cup in each taco. The donut bites were quite overcooked and had hardly any frosting. The menu says the mexi rolls come with a dipper but the employees charge a dollar extra and then argue with you, and when you ask them to actually read the menu, they still argue. Then the manager says just give it to him this time. How many people has this staff cheated? Those dollars add up. Customer beware.

    Great imitation Mexican food. The potato ole's are the serious bomb diggity. Memories of the taco burger dance in my mind each time I visit. As a side note squirrels love the ole's. Want to bring all the squirrels to your yard? Bring the potato ole's!

    Slowest service ever. I am typing this in the drive through where I have been sitting for 15 minutes. No apologies for the delay

    My wife and I were in the mood for some Mexican food and settled on Palenque for dinner. We were…read moreseated immediately in a nice booth. The salsa and chips were delivered before we could get settled. We both ordered Fajitas, one chicken and one steak. The caramelized onions were delicious with the steak. For dessert I ordered the Flan. WOW! Amazing! I make my own Flan, which, I've been told is pretty darn good. Palenque's was better. So creamy and perfect caramel sauce. Worth coming just for that. If you're in the McFarland area, this restaurant won't disappoint.

    This seems like a hidden gem tucked away in an unassuming strip mall. Enter Palenque, with its…read moresuper bright chairs and tables, friendly staff, and yummy food. Not to mention great drinks. The menu is pretty large, and this is some delicious Tex-Mex/Mexican food. I ordered the fajitas and had extra to take home for the next day as leftovers. The margaritas are pretty big and the price is quite reasonable. They also have non-alcoholic Corona and non-alcoholic margaritas, so there are options for everyone. We had a group of 8 meet here recently for book club and we all had a range of great drinks - alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The chips and salsa are on point. I would come here way more often if they had an a la carte street tacos option with the cilantro and onion. There's an asada tacos meal (with the rice/beans and all that) which I am hoping to try sometime soon. A great little local spot that I definitely recommend!
