El Palenque, Eastlake

Named after a great Mayan city-state of the 7th century, El Palenque transports guests across the borders of time and space with classic, time-tested Mexican recipes. Though some of the ingredients pay homage to Mexico's Mayan roots, dishes such as burritos and quesadillas keep the menu at least partially anchored in the present. The same goes for the imported beers and chilled margaritas.
