Palenque Grill

The whole experience here was great, are server was very kind & attentive,he had had a wish to provide good service.

The Mar y Tierra Prime Steak was delicious, everything was cooked perfectly, the steak was juicy, the guacamole flavorful, the Laredo shrimp was very delicious basically everything.

The charro beans and rice were both okay, I was more impressed by their refried beans and chips and their tasty Salsas.

The Pasta Cuchi Cuchi was delicious, the sauce was very flavorful.

I would definitely recommend the Prime steak but I will try the Fajitas de Res in the near future as I feel that cut of meat will be more delicious.

We ordered shredded chicken with mole, tacos Matamoros and ribs. The mole was good but I wish it had more shredded chicken. The tacos Matamoros were also good but I like the ones from taco Palenque better. Their tortilla is better and bigger. Lastly, the ribs were great and had double meat.

I’ve had an outstanding experience at the San Antonio location but this one needs a lot of work.

The location is great and not so great. It’s located at the newest part of the mall which could be very accessible but also always hard to find parking spaces.

The service was alright. The restaurant needs a lot of improvements, for the location and prices they should get those torn chairs fixed. They’re ugly and uncomfortable.

The food. I ordered the enchiladas with mole (enmoladas) they were good. The mole had great taste, the chicken pieces were a little too chunky I had to use a knife every time because the fork didn’t even cut through them. The arroz wasn’t good to be honest and both frijoles were pretty good. They had a different taste, not sure why. The chips were crunchy and salty, just perfect.

It’s way too pricey for what it is. Three enmoladas and a soda for $20? It came with beans, rice and chips. No pues wow.

If they work on sides, serving portions and furniture the prices would sort of balance. At this time, it is not worth the price.

Excellent authentic Mexican fare. Loved the Parilla de Prima for two. Enough for 2 hungry dimers or 3 light eaters. Also loved their cevice - it was excellent. Friendly and attentive service. Would definitely go back to sample their other offerings.

My friend and I visited the Palenque Grill on two occasions. It is located at La Plaza Mall on South 10th Street. I was left by the visits with mixed feelings about this place. Our first visit was great but our second visit seemed like a rip-off. The first visit we ordered the Parrillada for two $47 dollars, chicken and Fajitas, well served, plenty of food, (photo of menu) the service was great, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The second visit I had to change tables because the banket seating was torn and sagging, I actually sank in as I sat down. For such a nice place they should really take the time for repairs. This visit we ordered the Prime Parrillada for a whopping $58 dollars for two, it's supposed to be a Prime steak of Rib Eye, (I've had better and more tender steak) it is served with bacon wrapped shrimp. The Rib Eye was cut in 5 small pieces, I got two thin, wide strips of steak and two shrimp and a Pablano Chile filled with refried beans. If you look at the photo it almost looks like a meal for one person. For being just shy of 60 dollars they definitely could have served a thicker cut of steak. I was a Chef of a Steak House and I know an 8.oz cut ( pre-cooked, smaller once cooked) when I see one. We ordered it medium and it was served well. Once I mentioned the size of the steak to our server we never saw him again. In fact another server took our dessert order and ended up bringing our check to us. I really have mixed feelings about this review, and I know about going to the web site (which gets no response) to voice my opinion. Do I recommend this place, yes but beware!!
