Overview

Maya Palenque Restaurant and Cantina is at 349 Enfrente Road in Novato. A 2019 Shop Local Novato guide to the city's tacos chose its crispy fried shrimp tacos, served with shredded lettuce and cheese and plated with rice and refried beans, and said the restaurant emphasizes fresh, organic ingredients along with attentive service.

The name refers to Palenque, the ancient Maya city in the Mexican state of Chiapas.

Cantina

A 2017 article from the same directory focused on the bar side of the business: a classic cantina showing major sporting events, karaoke on Thursday nights running late, and Latin Saturdays with DJs playing Mexican music. That mix of restaurant and nightlife sets it apart from the counter-service taquerías on Grant Avenue in downtown Novato. The sources consulted do not give an opening date or owner names, and no 2024 or later coverage was found to confirm its current status.
