    I love El palenque! Every time we come we always request the same waiter who has always been so kind and like a member of the family.

    This is the first time I've ever had a chimichanga with no sauce on it. I like it smothered in queso or something. It was just a crispy, fried burrito. Nothing wrong with it, just not for me.

    Try La Sabrosa Quesadilla Plate, the Chimichanga with fajita Beef is also good, I love the Caldo Tlalpeño AND The margaritas during Happy Hour are awesome as well.

    Tortilla Soup is pretty good but is light on the chicken and has very little cheese. Table side guacamole is kinda a must.

    Great place to just sit and drink outside. The drinks aren't great but are good enough and the food is fantastic.

    The beef fajita chimichunga is a beast of a meal. Try it!

    I've had better service with Sprint in the middle of the Nevada desert. The food is mediocre and does NOT make up for the service.
