Our biggest party of the year is back, and it's a full THREE-NIGHT takeover! 🎃👻
It's happening. Palenque's Halloween Celebration takes over October 30–November 1, and it's going to be the wildest weekend of the year.
Three nights. Both locations. Costumes that go hard, a DJ that doesn't stop, and Halloween cocktails so good they might just become your new personality.
Costa Mesa and Riverside are both turning into full-blown Halloween headquarters, and you do not want to be the one who missed it.
Save the dates. Plan the costume. This is THE party. 🔥

The steak's better here than wherever you were about to settle for. 🥩
