El Palenque Mexican Restaurant

We had a good time. Our waitress was great. The food was good but a bit salty. We would definitely give this place another shot. The shrimp quesadilla was good

One of the few decent dining options in Green Hills that is not a chain. EP has been open for many years and is consistent in its menu and flavor. It is small and can get crowded during peak lunch and dinner times, but most times one can grab a booth and get down to business. I like the host of lunch and dinner options available through number and varied food selections. However, the standard fajita, enchilada and taco options can stand alone. The prices are a bit high in relation to other Mexican establishments and the food is no better than many of these. The service is always lackluster but the kitchen churns meals out in a timely fashion. These issues should not deter one from trying the food, which is tasty, and in this part of town, there are no other options for Mexican fare.

Seat yourself restaurant with, in my opinion, speedy service from the waiter. I ordered the Chile Verde which I thought was exceptional. Food was cooked well and was served in a timely manner. Prices were not bad at all! Lunch menu is affordable. They do bring out chips and salsa for you to munch on while you are waiting for your apps and entrees to arrive. I thought the use of Corona bottles as salt and pepper shakers was super adorable and resourceful. If I am ever back in Nashville, I will absolutely head this way.
