Great Job Lalo and Thank you and God Bless your Family.

First time coming here and I can say I had a way better experience than the restaurant across (casa madre). Service was exceptional with Jessica as our waitress. I would rate our food 10/10 Drinks as well 10/10. Would come here again 👌🏻

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of dining at Palenques in La Plaza, and everything was phenomenal—the music, the ambiance, the service, the food, the timing, and even the temperature of the dishes. Our server, Jesus, made the experience truly exceptional. His professionalism and courtesy went far beyond expectations. He was attentive, kind, and made us feel genuinely cared for—almost like we were family. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality these days, and Jesus exemplified it perfectly. Palenques should be proud to have someone like him representing their team. We’ll definitely be returning soon.

Very nice place. Came here and had the enchiladas that are filled with cheese since I do not eat meat. My son had the kids burger which he said tasted very good. It was a nice size. My sons father had the chicken mole enchiladas and said that they were also very good. I picked their cucumber lemonade which was very refreshing. Atmosphere is very calm, fancy enough for a dinner date OR work date. Everyone is very professional and kind.

We took our Godson to celebrate his birthday this evening, and we had a wonderful experience. The food was great, and the service was excellent. Fernando was prompt, kind and attentive. In fact, there wasn’t a worker there that was not nice. Will definitely visit again.

We absolutely love it here! The food is fantastic and absolutely authentic! Our server Jose Luis was amazing. He was very courteous, attentive and extremely friendly! We come all the way from Houston, Tx and this is always a MUST to have dinner here!

Jessica, our server was a delight!! She anticipated our needs before we even had the need to ask. The food was of excellent quality as usual for Palenque Grill. We had sopa poblana, aguachiles, ceviche and enchiladas en mole. Every dish was beautiful and delicious. You can’t go wrong with this place.

Great food, ambience, & service. Although inside the Plaza Mall the entire experience was outstanding. Lots of food with the meal. Superb option of various salsas accompanied the meal

The Appetizers set the mood of the restaurant. Meat was very tender and marinated. Environment, very well lit and open.

To be honest, this place is all right. It's pretty nice in terms of the look and the feel. I want to start out with the things that I did not like mostly because there's plenty to like about this place and in my opinion if they fix these things, it's worth the four stars and maybe 5. I'd need to go at least 2 more times to give the 5. Anyway. The small Ramekin used for salsa is illogical. It's too small to dip a chip into. See photo. The bartender did not give his name. How can I praise him here if I don't know his name? So from a standpoint of being personable, he wasn't really. But he was also doing several things including service bar so maybe he was too busy. Bars should NOT put the dish washing sinks near the bartop if at all possible. Because what happens is that the dirty dishes and the dripping water from the ones just washed, will invite gnats. Plus someone eating nearby doesn't want to eat near the dish washing. The tortillas were inferior. Too thin. Stuck together. Unevenly cooked. Now. The margarita was good. And very affordable. The fajitas were dry but had taste. Definitely better than some other places but I'm still on the hunt for the best fajitas that I can eat indoors, at a bartop, that isn't fast foody. Overall my meal was okay. I would go back. In fact I will go back and try the tacos and then another time I'll go back and I'll try the chicken plate. The manager was very nice and checked on me more than once. That is worth 1 star alone because too many places have managers who suck. Here's the places with managers that DONT suck according to MY experience so far: howling rabbits, reynas n.10th, here, ambra, oak uptown, olive garden mission, pappadeux, prime, salt grass, and there are plenty of places in haven't been or haven't interacted with the mgrs. Back to Palenque. I can definitely come back. Most people probably won't be disappointed with the experience. They're festive for your birthday. It's a bright decor. I say if you haven't been, give them a shot. My first time wasn't bad at all. I'll be back.

There's plenty of choices for Mexican food in town, we chose this one and definitely made a good choice. Our server was friendly, very efficient, kept our drinks filled, checked on our table several times after we were served. The food was unanimously very good, well prepared, fast service. Attractive venue, we were seated at a table for 6 and had plenty of room. My order of chicken fajitas was very good, the chicken was tender, just lacked flavoring. I should mention, one person ordered the beef fajitas and the beef was tough. Overall, I recommend this restaurant.

Their food is served in ample sized servings. The ambiance is elegant, spacious and clean. The prices are somewhat steep compared to their other neighboring Palenque establishments. It's understandable however, that you're paying a steeper price to be elegantly served at a classier table setting. That said, if you're going to dinner for a celebration, this is a great place! If you simply want their typical great tasting food, stop by at one of the other ones, down the street. We tried those signature margarita drinks (see my attached picture). They truly don't disappoint! We couldn't decide on which one was our best.

I first ate Palenque Grill in San Antonio and the Al Pastor tacos were amazing. So tender and juicy. The pineapples were marinated and full of flavor. I was happy to see there was a location in McAllen. The experience was night and day. I ordered the same tacos, but the meat was dry, the corn tortillas were greasy and chewy, the pineapples were tough as if it were cut directly from the rind. I've eaten at the Mcallen location twice, but each experience solidified it pales greatly to it's San Antonio branch. Waste of money.
