Palenque is highly recommended to anyone! This place become our fav. to go place to eat on weekends, I have just about all dishes in their menu, all is excellent! the best of Mexican food ever. This place beats any other Mexican Resto in Madison or any where else, I soon as I opened the door, I was very impressed by the decor, brightly colored walls, very unigue beautifully done crafted tables and chairs, the whole place is tastefully done! Feels like your somewhere in Mexico. Every bite is so good. It does not have the taste of the common Mexican food you'll have every where it tasted like a take out fast food..it has the homemade quality specially crafted cooked food. Fast and friendly service. I am sensitive to salt / sodium, I ask them to not put salt on anything, they manage to accommodate food restriction without sacrificing the taste. I always have left over to take home and ate it the next day, still the food still the best. We love this place. Palenque deserves more than a 5 star.! In all level!
