  This is a great "formula-type" Mexican food place.  They are charming, friendly, hospitable and the food is good.  I love the new management and the decor is always an important part of my dining experience.  There's is not cliche Mexican decor, which I love.
  
  My suggestion to all those who had a bad experience, with perhaps dishes like ACP is... try something else.  Go back this winter and have their chicken soup.  It is like grandma used to make.  It will cure your cold and tantilize your taste buds.  Heck, I have had it when it wasn't winter.  
  
  Be bold.  Experiment...  ACP is... not a real dish anyway.

  We had a great experience.  The staff were all exceptionally friendly and made us feel really welcome.  Portion sizes were  more than enough, great pricing and they had our order prepared and served in about 5 minutes and that's not an exaggeration.  If you're in a rush sometime or just want some good Mexican food stop in.  We love this place.

  My wife and I were brought here by a friend who kept telling us, "It's better than Don Juan's" (it's not), so we finally came with him.  We both got the equivalent of the food we get at other Mexican restaurants - I got the chicken chimichanga, she got the veggie ACP.  She was extremely disappointed in hers - it was loaded with just onions and peppers, with only a few slivers of mushrooms & zucchini, while at other restaurants, there tends to be a more equal distribution of the veggies.  The chicken chimichanga was not bad at all, but it was more a lot more bread and a lot less cheese than I prefer in these.  The tea was good though - I've found most Mexican restaurants have good tea.  Overall, it was just "okay," and I would rather go back to Don Juan's.

  This place is miles ahead of where it once was... It's clean and has an inviting atmosphere.  The service is great and the food is reasonably priced... It is the best Mexican restaurant between Kernersville and walkertown... Oh, and a nice little side note... Their margaritas will knock you down :)

  Excellent food - I always have liked the menu at El Maguey and this is the same. Try the Pollo Jalisco or Pollo Sinaloense. Ask for Oscar to be your waiter.

  Same owner as El Maguey in Walkertown.  I'm sure lots of Kernersville people remember the "old" Palenque where the Loop Grill is now...
  Service very personable. Menu is the same as Maguey. The new decor is very nice- lots of wood and reds.  I loved the Texas margarita! Lunch specials from 11-3 pm and they change daily. Mon and Wed 1.49 drafts, Tue and Thurs 2.99 lime margaritas.
