★★★★☆ 4.0 Faviola Perez · Dec 2025

Great food great service, just 2 things for the owner. The mirror in front of the toilet in the ladies bathroom is very uncomfortable, please just put 2 normal doors 🚪 in the closet. Another observation, the Fabuloso odor was very strong please change cleaning supplies without odor not everyone likes Fabuloso. I recommend using environment friendly supplies. Thank you!

No other authentic Mexican restaurant than this place. Prices are considerably lower with higher quality Mexican food based ingredients. I advise this place as the go to for your Mexican food fix. Best Chille relleno in all of Pulaski county so far.

Place was packed on a Sunday for brunch with what seemed by locals. Always a good sign! Seated quickly, friendly and prompt service. The usual free chips and salsa. The salsa was different IMO and really good. Family kept laughing at me because I wouldn’t stop eating it. Ordered carnitas and the asada. The steak was legit (flap). Huge and flavorful dishes.

We're from Texas and I'll say that the Food was delicious, a little different on the breakfast plates, they serve rice instead of potatoes. They have a large variety on the menu though.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Samuel Jackson · Jan 2026

Palenque is great: the tacos, burritos, and tortas are all really great. Great flavor, consistently good, nice tortilla. Waitstaff is just great - always nice and helpful. The best part about Palenque is its proximity - situated in town so not a hike to get to and La Perla is right next door in the same shopping center so you can knock out your trip for Chiles at the same time. I will continue to visit Palenque regularly - i typically take out-of-town friends to eat there. My go-to is the Burrito Arriero, but really any of their meats are great.
