Taqueria el palenque — Restaurant in Lakewood

$9 for a burrito that's just meat and beans—no cheese, tomato, cilantro, or onion. It came with some salsa, but that alone couldn't save it. The chicken tasted more like chicken soup, dominated by celery flavor. They didn't even fold the ends of the burrito. The staff wasn't particularly friendly or helpful. The restaurant is literally a converted Subway with minimal changes. A comparable burrito at Santiago's, with better-tasting meat, is only $3.35. I'm debating whether to eat this pathetic mess, even though I'm quite hungry. Very disappointing. If there is any decent food at this restaurant, the owners are doing a disservice by serving this sad excuse for a burrito. -changing to one star because this burrito made me sick...

I fell in love with the asada tacos, they are top notch. The service was great hardly any waiting time. I was a bit worried if it was good my first time there but I've been back 2 nights in a row only to be saddened to learn they do not to stay open late on Sunday's. I was so looking foward to it. But I'll be back on monday...
