“A little piece of our homeland” is how Don Pancho describes Palenque Grill®, the Ochoa family’s latest venture. It began in 2005 in Laredo, Texas, after Don Pancho’s long journey in the restaurant business. In 1975, he started with El Pollo Loco® in his hometown of Guasave, Mexico. The chain expanded across Mexico and then to the U.S., with Brad Pitt once handing out flyers. In 1987, he created Taco Palenque®, a successful Mexican fast casual chain. Don Pancho’s dream was always to open a full-service restaurant with live music, which he achieved with Palenque Grill® alongside his son Carlos in 2005. The Ochoa family plays a key role in the restaurant’s success, with family recipes on the menu. Palenque Grill® offers 100% Mexican food, …
Unassuming restaurant & bar serving gourmet Mexican-inspired seafood, steaks & cocktails.

The atmosphere was great, the service was friendly, and everything tasted top-notch. If you’re in Laredo and craving something fresh and flavorful, this spot is a must!
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.
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.
The experience was made worse by the incredibly slow service. Despite the order being to-go, I had to wait an excessively long time. I called twice to inform them that I was waiting outside, yet I still had to wait for 20 minutes. This level of service is unacceptable.
The worst part of all was when I got home and realized the soup was wrong. I immediately tried to call the restaurant, but after five attempts with no answer, I had no choice but to wait until tomorrow to see what excuse they will offer. This entire experience has been incredibly frustrating, and I am extremely disappointed with the poor service and lack of attention to detail.
