El Palenque - Bald Knob

Place was delicious doesn't look like much outside but the food is on point.

Such good food; it's a shame the service didn't live up to the hype.

We live on West Plains, MO. where there are 3 Mexican restaurants and El Palenque beats them all. We had to go to Little Rock and we stopped here to eat on our way home. This is a great place to eat. The food was great. Quick service. Plenty to eat. Took leftovers home.

We were a party of 10, in the side room. Staff was patient, kind, attentive thorough! I was glad to see them clear plates as we finished, like I said, thorough! The food was really good, portion sizes were generous everyone ate a different entree. I chose the South location for the portioned side room it was perfect. Our bill was $155 I was shocked to have spent so little. There was no automatic gratuity, that was a wonderful find! We added a generous tip enjoyed our time there.

You guys are so awesome. The man who is there all the time answering the phone and working so hard is the nicest person there. We have ordered takeout here for a long time and he always makes sure we get what we need and it is always so good! We appreciate you and the cooks!
