"Palenque, the casual Mexican restaurant formerly known as Veracruzana, feeds everyone from the late-night crowd in need of chilaquiles and french fries at 1am to families sharing chimichangas. Every table at this place in the Italian Market gets a trio of housemade salsas that work well on earthy, mildly sweet enchiladas de mole, massive tortas, and reliable but unremarkable tacos. The must-order, though, is the spicy camarones al ajillo served with red rice to soak up a chipotle cream sauce. It's so good that we’ve picked it up twice since dining in, which might just be the best way to eat here, seeing as service can run on the slow side." - Alison B. Kessler
