Palace Saloon

I have been here many, many times - it's in my top 3 favorite SSM restaurants.  Most recently I went with a group on Thursday July 11.  The Palace is conveniently located right downtown.  It has lots of seating but still a cozy vibe.  It's super clean.  The decor here is really nice and feels kind of upscale now. I would say that this is the best decorated restaurant in SSM, whoever chooses the decor keeps it has a real eye for design - right down to the details, like the candles on the tables (although I miss the old red lights on the walls!) and the bathroom mirrors & fixtures.

Good service, even when they're super busy.  The food is good.  The con queso is simple but delicious.  We order it every single time we go!  The quesadillas and fajitas are also good, and my friend who had the Seafood Nachos when were there last Thursday night said they were amazing.  On my last visit I ordered the 7 Layer Dip and it's the only thing I've really had there that I haven't liked & wouldn't recommend.  My friend and I both ordered it and we both thought the exact same thing - there was way too much sour cream and not quite enough beans.  But it's a new menu item, so it's possible that they're still tweaking the recipe.  ;)

Service was very good.
Food was also very good.
Portions were very large.  We shared an appetizer and had no room for our meals.
We will visit again.

If you are looking for Mexican food that is in any way authentic, this is not your place. To be frank, the food is not very good. It is about cafeteria-level food, maybe a little better. It's very heavy and greasy, and pretty pricey all things considered. However, I'm still glad the Soo has a Mexican restaurant because there isn't much selection around these parts, and they DO have a nice atmosphere if you're looking to do some drinking.
