El Palenque Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Wingate

I recently dined at El Palenque Mexican Restaurant, and I must say, it's a decent place with good food and reasonable prices. In an area with limited dining options, I haven't been disappointed by this restaurant so far.

While the waitstaff can be a bit awkward at times, I appreciate their effort and can tell they are trying their best to provide a pleasant dining experience. Sometimes, a little awkwardness can add to the charm of a place.

If you're in town and looking to try something new, I would definitely recommend giving El Palenque a chance. The food is enjoyable, and the prices are fair. It's always refreshing to find a restaurant that delivers value for your money.

Keep in mind that everyone's preferences can vary, but from my experience, El Palenque has been a satisfying choice. Give it a try and see if it becomes one of your go-to...

I was super disappointed to learn that they don’t serve barbacoa. I ordered the mixed taco plate, with 2 chicken tacos and 1 carnita. The chicken was over salted. And I was disappointed to see that it was grilled chicken and not pulled chicken. The flour tortillas fell apart very easily, and were very greasy. My partner got the birria tacos, the meat was good but the consome was lacking extreme flavor. It was thin, lacking flavor and didn’t have that usual delicious thick, meaty flavor. Not to mention it was super expensive at almost $5 per taco. Although, the service was great, we had a very attentive and sweet waitress. I’m reluctant to say that I’ll be choosing...

We had a crowd of 20 people, I called at 5 pm and ordered 5 lbs of meat with all the fixings. They delivered it in under an hour. Great service and the food was completely gone. Delicious!! We will be choosing this as our Mexican restaurant from now on. Thank you again!! I'm gonna have to change my opinion we went to eat at the restaurant and my husband didn't get what he ordered. He ordered tacos carnitas, chicken and Carne asada. What he got was chicken, babacoa, and ground beef. He said they were the worst tacos he ever had and didn't even eat them all....
