Outstanding Mexican food! This is what the Madison area has been needing for quite awhile. Since finding this place a month ago, I've visited 5 more times with friends and family for lunch and dinner and have been very pleased every time.
The fish tacos are awesome. Taquitos/flautas were great. The "special dinner" has some of everything and was amazingly good. They have flan...that's really all I needed to see on the menu to know it was going to be a great place!
Palenque (pa-len-kay) is located in a strip mall across Hwy 51 from Culvers and next door to Subway. They opened only about 4 months ago. Huge, diverse menu. There are about 12 or so tables. The lunch crowd is building, and the dinner crowd seems solid, but I've not had to wait for a table yet...but probably soon...
Service was excellent, friendly, just-right. Great margaritas. Prices are very good. Very good kids menu.
Fun and tasty - can't wait to go there again!
