El Palenque Restaurant is a hidden gem in Detroit! 🌟 The cozy atmosphere makes you feel right at home. I ventured in for some huevos con chorizo, and it did not disappoint - so flavorful! Their homemade salsa is a must-try, just the right kick for spice lovers.

Don’t skip the cheese enchiladas; they’re pure comfort served with rice and beans. Plus, the fresh fried tortillas are a delightful bonus. It's cash only, but you won’t regret it! Support this family-run spot; they've been serving delicious food for over 43 years! 👏🍽️
