This is my favorite of the chain. Their bean dip and crispy tortillas are one of my favorite thing that they give you to much on while you wait for food. I'm sure it's very basic but gotta say that bean dip is different from most others because I've tried to recreate it but it just doesn't taste the same. No clue if they put in some lard or something else but it's freaking delicious. The food itself is wonderful of course, I really their milanesa which is hard to pull off here because the meat for it in the US is much more thicker than the one from Mexico but it really taste like it came from the mother land. 10/10 no better dish unless you order something from the grilled meat section that never gets beat

Mexican A very popular restaurant with the locals. Live music. I had a steak and shrimp entree. The steak was very good and the grilled shrimp excellent. Large menu of starters, Mexican specialties etc. Large selection of margaritas, cocktails, wine and beer. Service was very fine. Tres Leches cake was really good.

Palenque Grill has a really good atmosphere — nice place to relax and enjoy some food. I ordered the Volcanes, and they were honestly really good. For the price, they’re a great deal and definitely something you can share. I also got the Chipotle Chicken, which was delicious. You can tell they actually take their time preparing the food because the flavor and quality were there in every bite. The only thing I noticed was the service was a bit slow at first. There were a lot of people, and only a couple of waiters, so I got forgotten for a little bit. But to be fair, I was eating alone, and my waiter was handling a big table of about eight people, so I understand why it happened. Overall, the food was excellent, and I’m definitely coming back. I wasn’t even in the mood to try steak this time, but just based on the Volcanes and the chicken, I can tell the rest of the menu is probably just as good.

This restaurant was by far the best restaurant I have visited in Laredo Texas, I'm from Corpus Christi and encourage anyone visiting Laredo Texas to visit this restaurant... The food was stupendous but what's really really took me was the desert, Flan... The waitresses were very very nice always attentive and the atmosphere is awesome...

Located at 4615 San Bernardo Ave in Laredo, Texas, Palenque Grill Hwy 35 stands out as a local favorite for authentic Mexican cuisine that delivers both flavor and atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, you can sense the care and tradition baked into every dish. The aroma of grilled meats fills the air, hinting at the quality to come.

One of the undeniable highlights is their bean dip paired with crispy tortillas—simple yet unforgettable. Andrea Pena’s review captures it best: this bean dip has a distinct, rich flavor that defies easy replication. It’s these subtle nuances, possibly from a special ingredient or technique, that make the starters here truly exceptional.

The menu showcases Mexican staples with a perfected touch. The milanesa stands out for its authenticity, balancing the thickness of American beef with the delicate flavors reminiscent of its Mexican roots. For those craving grilled meats, the arrachera plate is a must-try. It arrives sizzling on a comal, richly seasoned and satisfying enough to justify the under $30 price tag, as Julia S Gonzalez notes.

M. RETA’s enjoyment of the enchiladas verdes filled with shredded chicken and mozzarella, served alongside rice and refried beans, exemplifies the generous portions and balanced flavors Palenque Grill is known for. Beyond the food, there’s a lively yet relaxed ambiance enhanced by live music, as mentioned by I.E. Xam. This adds a cultural layer to the dining experience, making it more than just a meal but a celebration of local Mexican cuisine and hospitality.

Jorge Martinez’s experience with the Volcanes and Chipotle Chicken further illustrates the kitchen’s dedication to quality and flavor. Each bite reflects time and effort, confirming that Palenque Grill is not just fast food but a thoughtfully crafted culinary experience. Even with busy service moments, the food’s consistency shines through.

Finally, don’t miss out on finishing your meal with a rich Tres Leches cake, a sweet nod to tradition that perfectly rounds out the experience. Whether you’re a steak lover, a fan of seafood, or looking for classic Mexican dishes done right, Palenque Grill Hwy 35 offers a well-rounded menu that honors local tastes and culinary craftsmanship.
