Palenque Mexican Bar & Grill

"Authentic Flavor. Family Feel."

About Us

Palenque Mexican Bar & Grill has been proudly serving the Beaver Dam, WI community with authentic Mexican cuisine since 2014. Founded by Andres and his father, Palenque was born from a deep love for the restaurant industry. After working as a waiter in Indiana, Andres discovered his passion for hospitality and saw an opportunity to create something special—a place where food, family, and culture come together. That vision became Palenque, a restaurant built on tradition, flavor, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

What sets Palenque apart is its family-first approach and Andres’ personal dedication to every detail. From the vibrant dishes to the friendly service, everything is crafted with care and authenticity. Guests can enjoy dine-in or carry-out options, savoring freshly prepared meals in a cozy setting or from the comfort of home. For larger gatherings, Palenque’s catering services bring the fiesta to you, offering a diverse menu of house specials and traditional favorites that are perfect for any occasion. And with their food truck, Palenque brings the flavor on the road—ideal for festivals, private parties, and community events.

Specializing in catering that transforms events into celebrations, Palenque offers a rich selection of tacos, enchiladas, steaks, seafood, vegetarian options, desserts, and more—each dish made with high-quality ingredients and bold, authentic flavors. Their menu includes everything from appetizers and salads to house specials, fajitas, and sides, plus branded T-shirts for fans of the Palenque experience.

Whether you're dining in, ordering out, planning an event, or catching the food truck, Palenque Mexican Bar & Grill invites you to enjoy a true taste of Mexico—served with heart, heritage, and hospitality.

Near the water, life feels good, Where a bright stone palace, Palenque, stood. Step through the door, let hunger holler, Flavor arrives in full, bold color. For food with south-of-the-border flair, Here’s the place I order, right over there. Salsa snaps while fresh lime chimes, And chips keep crunching in double time. Michelada, red and ready, Chile sparks, yet cool and steady. Salt on the rim, lime tucked in, That savory, zesty sipping begins. A lively cousin to Bloody Mary, Lighter and brighter, bold and merry. A little bit thinner, a sure-fire winner, Perfect beside a Palenque dinner. Negra Modelo, smooth and mellow, Dark and fine in the glass’s glow. Sip it slow, let good times flow, Where the friendly faces come and go. Fajitas arrive with a hiss and flare, Tacos stack while spice fills the air. Enchiladas roll, rich sauces pour, One tasty plate leaves you wanting more. Ancient Palenque knew throne and stone, This Palenque makes Beaver Dam its home. A palace of plates, a kingdom of cheer, With mighty fine food and an ice-cold beer. So raise that glass beneath friendly skies, With lime on the rim and a smile in your eyes. Cheers, amigos, to flavors that please… Peace. Piece. Peas.

(Translated by Google) During a city tour, we had lunch in Palenque. The welcome was very warm! Our ordered food (fajitas and a taco/enchilada combo) arrived very quickly and was plentiful, well-seasoned, and delicious. A margarita afterward was also absolutely delicious and rounded off the meal perfectly. (Original) Auf einer Rundfahrt haben wir im Palenque zu Mittag gegessen. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich! Unsere bestellten Essen (Fajitas und Taco/Enchilada Combo) kamen bereits nach sehr kurzer Zeit und waren reichlich, gut gewürzt und sehr lecker. Ein Margaritha danach war ebenfalls absolut lecker und hat das Essen abgerundet.
