Palenque Mexican Bar & Grill

Dropped by for a quick dinner on Saturday night. Location has easy access and plenty of parking. Seating area was spacious and nicely decorated.Started with large bowl of warm chips and salsa. We ordered Taco Salads. Wifey had veggie chicken stir fry version in a crispy bowl. I had the chicken/beef version which had plenty of protein and was topped with tomato slices. Our friend had the number seven which had a burrito and chimichanga covered with a red sauce. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Servings were modest, but had very good flavor. From a value perspective I would rate them better than average. We will return in the near future.

We stopped in at random for a Sunday lunch. The staff was very friendly and took good care of us. The food wasn't spectacular, but it was good and served quickly. The chips were just out of a bag. The carnitas had a nice crisp on them, but they weren't really seasoned at all (just browned pulled pork) and didn't have any onions or citrus with them. The restaurant itself, including the restrooms, show clear signs of heavy use and not a great deal of maintenance (very much a greasy spoon atmosphere.

Great local restaurant for Mexican food. The margaritas are huge! A medium will be too much to drink in one sitting. Steaks are juicy and flavorful whether in fajitas or with fries. I love the carnitas plate or the shrimp. Service of friendly.

Moving from CA I've been on the hunt for great Mexican food. I haven't been impressed with any places yet. However, everyone needs to try this place it's so good!

We love Palenque. Nothing we have ordered has ever been bad. We used to order more frequent and the one guy knew who I was as soon as I started my order.

Needed a quick lunch and found this place. It was quick. From ordering to getting the food, it was under 10 mins. I had the juantitos enchiladas, three wrapped tortillas with spicy shredded chicken. Well, it wasn't that spicy. I'm more used to enchiladas with shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and rice on the side with sour cream and some red or green sauce on them. This version had a thick slice of tomato instead. I decided to drive up there tomato myself. There wasn't any red or green sauce but the store cream make the sides moist. Overall it was good. I feel it can be tastier but the be price is right so that's why I have it 4 starts. Plus their decor rocks!

Holy hell, you can get great Mexican food in McFarland! My favorites are the sizzling hot steak fajitas and the quesadilla Mazatlan with chicken...so cheesy. Chips are good, but be sure to ask for the spicy salsa the employees eat if you don't want tomato-water. The place is Mexican-American style, so spicy is something you'll have to ask for. Service is quick and attentive. Bring cash for the cash discount. I'd eat in if possible, the dishes don't keep as well for takeout. Only improvement would be better margs with fresh lime and an authentic menu to order from, but I'm really being picky here and a Corona goes great with my quesadilla.

The only downside about moving to the Midwest was losing all of my favorite Mexican food restaurants. After trying out many different places in WI I've finally found the one! Palenque offers a wide variety of items on their menu with great prices and service is always quick. I've ordered pretty much every type of dish from the menu at one point or another and some of my favorites are the fajitas (steak), enchiladas Cancun, burrito Mexicano, chicken tortilla soup, and the grilled fish tacos. Also, if you like flan make sure you get it here. One of the best I've ever had!

Salsa is great mild and hot Steak FajitasHorchata is great taste like Real Horchata very Friendly staffs Hostess very attentive

Staff has been very friendly. They remember us even though we only stop here once every 2-3 months.Authentic Mexican food and good portions.Atmosphere is the only negative (strip mall restaurant). We have family from other parts of the state and they want to go here when in town.
