Reviews for Palenque in Queens, NY
Talk about great Colombian food in New York! These are like fine dining Arepas ;)
Excellent food! Shrimps were definitely jumbo and grilled to perfection. Everything was excellent????
The food was just okay...not worth what I paid for it & left my husband & I feeling underwhelmed. The service was very... confusing. One minute distracted by their phone & on YouTube with a headphone in, while I?m waiting to order, then they gotimpatient with me when I asked 2 questions about the menu, then became overly nice (i think she finallly realized she was beingrude). And the big tub of agua de panela is just sitting on the counter completely uncovered and they ladle it out. It could atleast be covered. I immediately wished I had gone to a different stand.

The company I work for recently acquired this gem of a restaurant as a vendor. I thought it was my personal bias as a Latin... American. The food is amazing! From coworkers at the tasting to client sites. Everyone loves this food! As a vegetarian I?m sohappy to taste home without wasting the knowledge and beliefs I have that led me to be vegetarian. So I can say this restauranthas made quite an impression on me. Love it! Read more
This isn?t Colombian food, and if they are trying what a shame. I ordered sweet plantains with cheese and bocadillo and the... cheese didn?t tasted as cheese. Don?t pay to eat here, save your money. Better to eat at La cevicheria. Read more
The arepas are awesome! This is an ideal snack or meal after spending time at Rockaway beach!
I just purchased 2 empanadas at their pop-up shop in Manhattan. Being that there is ZERO colombian food places in Manhattan, I... was really delighted to get some empanadas, even if they were $4 dollars each (factor in that each empanada had to pay theMetrocard one way fare to ride the subway from bklyn to Manhattan). The beef empanada as I broke it open looked like I openedthe inside of an alien... it looked like mushrooms instead of beef. The chicken empanada was bland and both empanadas had NOpotato which is a staple of real colombian empanadas. The only thing I got that was authentic colombian cuisine was the applesoda. I will say I liked the outside flour mixture used to wrap the protein. Other than that, it was an utter disappointment.Their brand should say they are a twist on a colombian favorite and not real home colombian cooking eatery. Because anyoneanticipating real colombian food is going to be vastly disappointed. TGIF! Read more
The food there was delicious its located on the boardwalk on 98st and I had ordered the Toro Dish and it was awesome more then... generous the food portion to leave you content and the steak pieces seasoned nicely and just cooked right, which comes with aarrepa , arrugla and a white crumble cheese with a hot sauce on the side awesome taste. It's the Colombian taco version for them. ???? Plus I ordered a set of fried yuca ( cassava) with hot creamy sauce on the side it was delicious as well. Definitelyworth trying the dish . Yummy indeed . People saw my dish and were interested because how good it look and when I told them ittasted awesome they went to try and agree. This also comes in shirmp ,chicken instead of the beef . Read more
