    Its good! Everything tastes fresh, clean, properly made. Is it worth the price...? Eh. Its good but nothing special, maybe if u wanna impress a date or something, but you're better off going to a locally owned restaurant, you'll feel more cozy and loved.

    We ordered enchiladas verdes and tampiquena which were both perfect. Our waitress Isabel recommended upgrading the meat to a ribeye which was even better. Highly recommend for the whole family! Excellent food, margaritas and great service also !

    Had dinner with my parents and we enjoyed our experience! We were greeted by a friendly hostess and even friendlier waiter. My parents each ordered the tacos de carne asada, which came individually wrapped with a cup of charro beans on the side. I ordered a cup of the poblano soup and it was delicious! Chill ambiance, excellent for gatherings, and full bar. πŸ‘πŸ˜Žβœ¨οΈπŸ½

    Honest review, I was anxiously awaiting the opening of palenque grill, but after reading some of the negative reviews I was hesitant to even try. An opportunity to visit for the first time arose. First impression, beautifully decorated, a nice spacious layout, and staff is very welcoming. Our party was already seated but as soon as we arrived our server greeted, brought menus and asked if we would like to place drink orders. Highly recommend the Jalapeno cucumber martini. Drinks were at our table at a minimal wait time. We placed our order (parrillada, steak, chicken and sausage, beans and guac, Tortillas peppers and onions) and enjoyed chips and salsa while waiting. Let me preface my next statement by saying I am very critical when eating out, only because most of the overhyped places have been complete let downs for me, and since I was already questioning going to Palenque Grill I was not expecting much, I WAS PROVEN WRONG, beef and chicken were juicy tender packed with flavor, both great cuts. Sausage was sausage, in my opinion hard to mess that up. But everything was A+ from start to end, chips, salsa, drinks, beans, parrillada, did I mention the choriqueso πŸ‘πŸΌ πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ The Pastel Tres Leches is to die! For a party of four, ambience, hospitality, drinks and more than enough food for four, a little under $300 tip inlcuded, was well worth it. A huge shoutout to the staff and our server Fernando who went above and beyond to make our experience amazing! Will definitely be back ❀️
