The appearance isn't as upscale as some places you'll go, but El Palenque is well able to stand on its food alone. The restaurant features good Mexican fare, but it's also frequented for its Salvadoran cuisine, which is similar but a welcome change of pace. The most recognizable dish is the pupusa, a corn tortilla stuffed with meat and cheese, then fried. Guacamole is terrific, not exactly as you'd expect, and fried plantains add a sweet note to the meal. Weekends often bring live music and add extra flavor to the culinary event.
