Hmm average+ Good burger, not the best but overall good+ good beer (Budweiser is not a beer but a juice for Europeans) ... Comparable for classical beer in EU- service average, "our" waiter was rather not interested in us.

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.

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!!

This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food and drinks are pretty great. Our server Adan took really good care of us. He was just very welcoming and kind. He gave us good recommendations and was very patience. We are definitely coming back. Thank you for having such beautiful, friendly and kind staff. It is very heart warming to find a place like this in town when visiting your love ones. See you next time Adan.

Mi primer visita al Paleque Grill de la Plaza Mall fue una gran experiencia gracias a un gran mesero amistoso y hospitalario David Uribe nos recomendo los mejores platillos y bebidas. Pasamos una noche agradable gracias a sus atenciones. Difinitivamente recomendamos sus servicios.

My favorite place to eat in McAllen. Food is always delicious and made exactly as we ask for it. Their salsas are the best! Service is always excellent. Service here is something I always admire, most of the employees are super friendly. We have been eating at Palenque Grill for years, and visiting at least once a week. We see some of the waiters as friends, and know them by name. We often ask for Ramon, he is an excellent waiter to us, very friendly and as soon as we get there he knows what we like to drink and eat and how we like our food. Very nice to spend a night out and have some of their delicious cocktails. My husband and I love the atmosphere here, and enjoy the lovely music played by their violinist, Rolando. Highly recommend!
