While getting supplies in Ciudad Constitucion at the Ley supermarket, we spotted this brick structure, Birriera El Palenque.
They are located in the east side of the main drag, approx 1 block south of Ley.
My remaining memory of Cd Const’ is the double boulevard with two lanes down the middle, bordered by 2 more sets of 2 lanes on both sides of that main drag going north and side. The reputation is that if you don’t come to a complete stop, you’ll be facing mordida with the local constables.
Locals blow through those stop signs!
Like many restaurants in Mexico, the interior often is not what you might expect from the street view. El Palenque opens up into an expansive indoor/outdoor patio with a special throne just for me!
Sunrise in Baja California Sur is approx 7AM. When we were moving to our next camp, we got our coffee on and generally were on the road at 8-ish.
Who forgot to pack coffee mugs? I believe I left them on my kitchen bar.
When moving from a remote beach location to or through a larger city, it is a good idea to keep a supply list updated. Beer(someone forgot to refresh this staple item week 1 of this trip), ice, veggies, water, propane, gasoline are all must haves.
One challenge we had during mid morning travel was deciding upon a juevos desayuno or street food for our first meal of the day. Availability and karma often made that decision.
This Friday, while I really wanted eggs, the coffee at El Palenque was excellent. The birria was also very good. As you can see from the menu choices below, you can have the shredded beef in a variety of different formats.
Palenque usually refers to a cock fighting arena in Mexico. Check out the restaurant logo. Did not let that cruel fact get in the way of enjoying the family friendly service and delicious meal.
We award Birrieria El Palenque four out of five gallos and will happily return on our next Cd Const visit.
