First time at Palenque and it did not disappoint. From being greeted to the food. Our server Eddie was great, very attentive and recommended a few appetizers. We went with the guac and chips which were delicious. We also go the steak & shrimp fajitas very flavorful and steak cooked to perfection. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
