    Get the sopa del mar or albondigas if you like homemade soup! Their bean dip is actually really good, it's like the stuff you get from grandma's kitchen (i.e. the kind w delicious pork fat!)

    When at El Palacio make sure to get the burritos. All of the ingredients are so fresh including the salsa and chips! This is the perfect Mexican style restaurant that does not have a generic taste.

    Service is slow most of the time...but the Taco Tuesday is good. So if you go and don't expect fast service you will have a nice time.

    Awful! Chicken tortilla soup had no flavor and was a clear broth. Salsa tasted like tomato sauce with cilantro. The only edible items were the tortilla chips and beans. Would never eat here again.

    Chips, salsa and bean dip are average. The queso appetizer was very greasy, el padrino burrito was also greasy. Price was ok, $34 for 1 app, 1 entree, 1 beer and 1 margarita, but the food was terrible

    Worst "mexican" I've ever had. "Empanada" was a soggy flour tortilla with carrots and onions. Tamale was so dry it could kill you. Enchiladas had no flavor.
