Everything here is made to order and some of the best authentic Mexican food in Buffalo. It reminds me of Los Tres Amigos back on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Excellent service and amazing prices
Free chips and salsa . Also try their giant margaritas that are only $9, delicious and amazing. To top it off their lunches are around $7 and dinners are $8.50! Must visit!!
Heard amazing things and finally ate amazing things. Possibly best Mexican in Buffalo . English is their 2nd language; that's a good thing. #authentic
Burritos are amazing. If you like chicken , the Pollo a la Parilla doesn't disappoint. Also, a jumbo margarita is $7. So incredibly worth it.
I always get the quesadilla rellana, with the beef . It's so good.
This place always has good food and fast service . Not fine dining by any stretch but you won't leave disappointed because it's a great value
Giant margaritas , free chips , very authentic . Good food, quick service .
Everything is authentic & homemade (I think!)....tastes that way anyhow. Great prices to boot!
Don't listen to the haters! El Palenque serves authentic , fresh, delicious Mexican food . Their drinks are great too!
Great and very authentic Mexican at a very affordable price .
If you are here for lunch , get the huevos rancheros !
Amazing fresh chips & salsa ! Good prices, food and service. I will return!
Looks awful outside but the food is amazing. My new favorite mexican place . Get the special dinner .
Everything on the menu is great! Real Mexican food , best place around
If you're undecided go with the arroz con pollo ! You won't be upset
You have to get a margarita . If you get the jumbo be sure to bring someone else to drive!!!
Pretty sure this is a drug front but the food is amazing and the margaritas are delish.
They've redone the inside, looks great!
Rice and beans are out of this world.
Try the Cozumel. I get it every time I come here!
FYI there's only 1 shot of tequila , 2 at most in the margarita ... No buzz whatsoever
No frills but great food. Staff is friendly . Prices very reasonable.
The food is decent. Typical of what your get at a mexican restaurant that doesnt boast fine dining . The service blows. They never served me a drink that i ordered and never checked up on us.
Salsa & chips are good so is a pitcher of lime margaritas
When a large party of people order food and its served within 5 minutes, what's that tell you? Microwave.
The GIANT JUMBO margaritas are only $7!!!!
Worst service ever! Waited forever to be seated. The person who seated us never gave us a menu and after 10 minutes we never saw a server. Walked out and will probably never go back!
Best chips and salsa around
Great margaritas !
I ❤el palenque
FYI - The check in special only works w Amex card.
There were literally roaches on the dining room walls. If you eat here, you're putting your health at risk.
Overall bad service... Red sauce was watered down... made the food soggy, we were never offered a refill... Pretty commercial if you ask me... Chi Chi's was better back in the day
Skip the shrimp , tasted frozen.
Tamales are out of this world!
Try the xangos for dessert !
Best Mexican in Buffalo
Definitely not good Mexican food
Not impressed. Bland food, poor service. Watered down guacamole and flavorless fajitas . One & done.
Service sucked here!
the guacamole had no flavor, add some lime next time! - margaret l
A carnitas burrito is my usual, but their cheese quesadilla with a side of guac is heavenly. - Ashley Reedy
Has everything you could ever imagine, but very few things you want to buy. - Paul Luthi
The sub shop is THE BOMB and the workers there are both friendly and fast. Awesome experience! - Bekah Moser
