| - I ordered a combination plate of chile relleno and chicken taco. The chile relleno was lightly breaded and non-greasy which by far was the best breading I have had on a relleno to date. The cheese in the middle was very runny and tasteless. I like a thicker Mexican cheese in my rellenos, such as Chihuahua, and did not care for the relleno because of the filling. The chicken taco was tasteless and a tad dry, with chicken and a few onions on the bottom, with no flavoring and your typical lettuce and cheese on top. The warm corn tortilla shell gave it a little extra flavor. My fiancé ordered the especial Palenque fajitas which was a very hardy serving. Considering the serving size, they only served it with three small tortillas, and I assume they would have brought out more if requested. While we were there the music, which is not an important factor in rating this establishment, kept on stopping and wait staff were climbing on chairs to fix it several times. The lights in the kitchen area also went out at one point when a blender was used. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive, the restaurant was nicely decorated, we were seated immediately and our food arrived quickly. Overall our experience was not bad, and we may go back to try something else on the menu. While others rated this four stars and above, I am only rating it three, as I am comparing my Mexican food to the authentic non-chain smaller establishments in the Chicago area.
