Palenque Kitchen By Mezcal - Riverside

Great place to eat and drink. Fun vibe. The music and the atmosphere is fun. Shout out to Paolo, great service and knows how to show you a fun time. Food was delicious. Ample portions and the drinks are strong. Highly recommend for a group outing or even a nice date. Book a reservation online if you plan on going during peak hours, gets pretty full. Open late and plenty to do in the area afterwards.

Super happily surprised! Our server Sally was fast and fantastic. All her recommendations were delicious. My husband and I had the asada and fish taco plate. The guacamole was super yummy! Loved it!!

Awesome place,a must stop in the city of Riverside. Great food and great drinks. If you love tequilas, you gotta come here. They got a variety of mexican dishes and cocktails. The service was also amazing!!! Friendly and serviceable! Will definitely come back again!!!!

The food was good though pricy over $40/ head without drinks. But it really did taste good the server was very attentive even with the place being crowded. Forget a couple of things for each order though he corrected it. The back table is a lil tight to sit 4 people especially with a booth on the other side, we made it work. They were all nice and friendly so would go back again anyhow just not on a Saturday night. Prefer less of a crowd yet that's good for business. Thank you Paolo for takin the pics! Hope I got your name right!

I appreciated that they sat my wife and I right away as it was getting late on New Year's night and other nearby dining establishments were closed. Our server was prompt, friendly and professional. We ordered the asada steak and chicken fajitas. The fajita marinade was delicious on the tender chicken. The steak was a bit on the chewy side, but dipped in some of the refried black beans and guacamole compensated for the meat's texture. Margaritas were strong and flavorful, though overpriced at $17 a pop for the amount you get. I should have checked drink prices to avoid the surprise of a $34 charge for two drinks. For dessert, the tree leches cake pictured) was delightful, but, like the drinks, overpriced at $13. Palenque has solid food and drinks, but the prices, in my opinion, are too high to warrant a return trip.
