Reviews
This place had mediocre food and tried to not honor the prices for drinks on their menu. The drink menu clearly states that the normal price for a “house margarita” is 9.50. At the bottom of the menu it says happy hour prices for a “house margarita “ is 6.95 Happy hour is 7 days a week from 3:00-6:00 pm. After we were charged full price, I asked the manager and he said he would not charge our bill, that we needed to speak with our waiter. Waiter said no that’s the price. He said we needed to point to the menu and ask for a happy hour house margarita. I literally started laughing, so you get one half the size for a 2.50 discount!!! Do you hear yourself I say. I point to the menu and ask what is the difference between a “house margarita” and a “house margarita” the truth is the special is 2.50 off the normal price and they didn’t want to give us the discount that’s on their own menu. This is on top of the fact that 7 of us had dinner and the check was 160.00 , which is fine. But arguing with us about not giving the correct bill after spending that much is terrible business. I will never go back. If you go please test them and order a happy hour margarita, I quarantine you it will be the size as the one that’s normally 9.50. I hope they read this review and our embarrassed. I have included photos of their menu so you can see how dishonest they were with me. All of ours were ordered on the rocks just as the menu required for the discount.
They recently moved from inside Trailhead golf course to their own new building. We were excited to check out the new look. They have always had great food but the old place looked old. The first impression of the new place was that it's oddly broken up into several areas. The first area seems like there are tables in what should be just the entrance or lobby. Then you walk past some tables around the corner that feel like they are in a hallway. Finally we were led to the back or the front depending on how you look at it because that is the street side. It was a very nice room with great decor but the lights were super bright. I mean no exaggeration at all it was bright white lights. Very difficult to enjoy dinner under that much light. We told the hostess who sat us that it was too bright and she just laughed it off. We told our waitress if it could be dimmed but she said no. So they still have great food but I will not eat there again unless they change the lighting. Parking: Plenty of parking.
Location is great to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the view of Trailhead golf course. Service is always fast and friendly. Food and drinks are decent. I like the fish tacos, housemade chips and salsa, and quesadilla. My husband enjoys the burritos and enchiladas. I always get the house margarita since it’s a bit less sweet than their other drinks. They’ll have a new location soon, so stay tuned!
My mother and I went for Mother's Day and boy do I feel bad for making the choice to eat there. It was the first time for both of us and they have been there for years so I assumed it must be good. It was about 3pm when we got there. It was a very bar atmosphere the entire time. Loud, maybe a little tipsy talkers. A toddler crying too. Busy. I was suprised how little of selection the menu had. Took me forever to decide on something to order. I asked for mild salsa but it wasent mild. Asked for pico de gallo instead but it tasted terrible. The tomatos were green and orange. Not ripe. Yuck. Asked for a bean dip. It was a little spicy but better of the other 2 choices. I ordered a blackberry margerita. The picture on the menu looked so good. A deep plum color. My margarita was white with a few streaks of plum color. WASENT ABLE TO PUT THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FLAVOR IN IT. Had to send it back. ???? WTH? My mom ordered a tostada. When she got her plate, it looked like a plate of basic bagged salad mix. She couldnt find the tortilla. She asked the waiter and with his help she was able to find it. WHAT??? We ordered some carne asada fries, California Fries they call them and I had no words for what they gave me. If you search google for carne asada fries images, you would never find anything that looked like what they served me. Fries, cilantro, steak and a light layer of grated parmesan cheese. Like you would put on your spagetti. WHAT??? I ordered nachos and the meat had a different taste to it. Looking at the texture, I would say it wasent just ground beef but I dont know for sure to say for sure. My mom didnt finish even half of her "tostada" and didnt want to take it home. Took the fries home with plans of making them the "carne asada fries" they were supposed to be. HOPE! We had originally ordered an order of nachos to take home to my dad but after the meal so far we canceled those plans. Im posting some pictures but I dont think the pics get attached to the exact review that they were posted with but I hope so so that people are able to see. And after all that, $70 bill. Make me sick to my stomach. Everything about the experience was not good. Blows my mind.
Service was nice, as they tried to accommodate for the food, which was sub par at best. Ordered the combo chili relleno and shredded beef chimichanga with refried beans, and hubby had combo taco and chili relleno. His shell looked and tasted like box shells and came cracked. Manager without asking was kind enough and brought a fresh taco, but we didn't want to complain cause shell was not the only issue. Mngr said, "every time the shell breaks. Always." Well when they're not fresh made, they will. The chips and salsa had a lot to be desired too, was runny and just 2 pieces if onion in it, very mild, so we ordered pico de gallo, but the bill had a $2.50 charge on it for it, which they did not inform us of. It was mostly white onion and tomato, no cilantro to speak of, or any serrano or jalapeños at all. Chips were served cold and hard, and tasted stale. Mngr warmed them which helped, but I've had better bagged chips sadly. The beans were watered down and just tasted weird. I've had better canned, again sad to say. Chili relleno was just ok, and not very good if I'm being honest. Chimichanga was okay. Just beef inside. Price point 16$ for 2 items and beans and rice. Pics will look ok, but taste is surely lacking. We had high hopes for this new restaurant to the Liberty Lake area, but I'd suggest keep looking or cook at home if you want Mexican food. We won't be back. Sorry. Kid-friendliness: Had wood high chairs The kind you can flip and put car seat in, but only a couple I believe.
Delicious and decently priced, clean restaurant and friendly staff. Well lit and generously portioned.
Pablo and Marco are gentleman and scholars! The new facility has fabric designed and made in their hometown! The pictures on the walls are painted with Love by a women and artist from their home village. Modern, authentic decor with food that will make you eyes bulge with delight! The food is hot, fresh, tasty and authentic. The drinks are ice cold and poured steep so buckle up for friendly service and an amazing experience.
They recently moved from the golf course to a new location a few blocks west. The new restaurant is beautiful and the staff is really attentive. I would have liked my food a little warmer but it was delicious! A must to visit for a good meal!!
Palenque has moved, unbelievably nice brand new restaurant...unfortunately the food still lacks flavor, some things over cooked. New venue but still the same underwhelming taste!! Wifes shrimp are brown almost burnt in photos.
Very disappointed.. Been coming here for 9 months now on average I come and eat here about 3-4 times a month. Wife and I came in on 9/15/22 for lunch and ordered the Arroz Con Pollo. It was full of grease and the rice from the grease made it very mushy.. I know I won't be ordering this dish ever again, as this dish was my favorite. Hopefully the new location didn't make your cooks cut corners and become lazy.. If there was a way to post a pic of what my lunch looked like, I would of have posted it with this post.. Have to think hard about trying Palenque again...
