    Food was delicious. I ordered tacos de harina the carnitas a la Mexicana with a lemonade. The salsas where good and frijoles where tasty. Our server was polite and knowledgeable. The manager/owner was really nice and gave us samples of their chicharrones and we ordered some of there sugar donuts to go. Music really set the tone and the inside was really clean. Highly recommend this location.

    You possibly need to know a little Spanish. Great tacos and delicious charro beans. I will return!read more

    This place feels like your mom is cooking in the kitchen…read more.. I've tried multiple plates...and each plate was delicious, well portioned, flavorful, delectable...I can go on. First thing you cannot beat the prices. Enchilada plates for $7... fajita plates for $8...The fajita is cooked to order when I went so it comes out with a nice sizzle. The refried beans have that nice sheen on it which means lard was used to cook them...making them so tasty. The rice looked fluffy...the veggies in them do not taste from frozen and the rice was perfectly cooked. They also make their own tortillas. I went with flour...and who doesn't love just mixing in everything all at once...little bit of fajita, some beans, some rice...that taco was a bite of heaven. The enchiladas are amazing...I had suizas with chicken inside. Most places use shredded chicken as a filler...but it's usually boiled or not seasoned. The lady used pollo guisado for the filling...so it went perfect with the salsa and the cheese. Bomba! And the menudo...I'll be honest, what threw me off was the texture of the menudo. It was very soft ...but I cannot complain. It had layers of flavors...the tripe was soft..no fat on it. It was clean and perfectly cooked...with lime on it, perfect dish for a Sunday morning. I will say...the place is small. But I won't knock it for that. Biggest table is only for 4 people and it'll be a tight fit...but hey, get it to go. Not a problem... And customer service is the best. I've stopped multiple times, and want to try all their dishes. I recommend the same for everyone.

    Food and service were excellent. There were so many staff attentive to my needs! Chips and dips…read morewere so good but the mango Chamoy margaritas was phenomenal! Definitely get that!

    I love Mexican food. And being so close to the Mexican border, I was excited to try Palenque Grill…read more On a Friday night I was expecting to wait a long time but our table for four was ready immediately. There was live music and a full bar with televisions playing sports games. The men's restroom was very clean. Ordering was a tad difficult, due to language barriers. Fortunately for us, we had a Spanish speaker in our party. I ordered the crispy chicken tacos and a strawberry mojito after we received our guacamole. From past experiences I knew to ask if the complimentary beans that came with the chips contained Pork. They did. The server offered a white bean alternative. My crispy chicken tacos were very good. I'd definitely order those again. My strawberry mojito was perfect. Overall, this place didn't exceed my expectations. However, I wasn't disappointed either. Very good food at a very good value. Our bill with drinks and food was less than $125. There was four of us. Hey Palenque Grill... see you again soon.
