Delicious Mexican food with a huge menu. This place honestly has the biggest burritos I've ever seen in my life! Easily enough for two full meals. The center of the restaurant has a dessert bar with all kinds of fresh fruit and toppings for making all types of treats and drinks. They also have a full bar and margarita specials on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The drawback is some of the employees speak Spanish and the menu is a little tough to navigate so you have to find the right people if you have questions! I also had a tough time understanding all the desserts and smoothies that were offered because I wasn't familiar with the names . I'll figure it out, and so will you. It's worth it. The food is really good. read more

I love this place! It's such a fun experience and different twist on a typical Mexican restaurant. Great for kids too with all the fun cold treat options. We have never had a bad food experience here or at the previous location. The only thing I miss is the salsa bar, but that's no reason to stop frequenting the place. read more

Good place to buy snacks like Doritos preparados or ice cream but not the best place for tacos. Probs the worst tacos in the area.

Recommended to us by locals. Yelp won't let you give zero stars otherwise I would have. Spent $3.25 each for 7 street taco tortillas basically with more cilantro and onion than meat. $4.25 for pretty absent lingua taco but plenty of cilantro. What a joke. My wife worked in the food service industry and would have been embarrassed by the less than 1 oz of meat served to us. Will never go to this overhyped/over priced place again. So disappointed. My family basically ate the "appetizer" meatless tacos and then ate leftovers we had at home. We overall spent $45 for 2 Horchatas and 8 meatless tortillas that weren't very good. I'm from Cali so I know what a good street taco should consistent of and usually only a $1.50 at most. Wisconsinites dont get fooled by this rip off of an establishment. Maybe if you do sit down there you might get better service than take out. It's no wonder that Diablos taco food truck sits across the street taking their business and actually has good meaty tacos. Fast Taco was not around today otherwise we would have gone there. Chicken Palace never again. Have a great day everyone and happy taco hunting. read more

1. Prices on their website are wrong; 36.95 for a 20 taco tray, but when I call all of a sudden the price changes on the fly to 44.95. The fact that I was going to order 60 tacos for the hospital staff, they should have honored the lower posted price. When I spoke with the manager, he claims the prices went up because of COVID and they need to make up the money. Funny how that works. 2. Claim free delivery, yet when I called to place the order, the delivery guy wasn't interested in driving. So was going to send one of our staff to pick it up. Guessing I'll save the $20 tip Overall, kinda shady practice no matter what. I'm not expecting anything for free, but honor the price that's quoted, don't change it on the fly to earn a buck. Will likely not try to order from them again. read more

Chicken Grill Mexican Restaurant - Taco Fiesta Tray.... $36.99 - Chicken Shop Near Me - Menasha, Wisconsin

First off, I have to admit I was a little worried when I saw their outside. Do not be fooled! The inside is amazing. You immediately smell the chicken, and it's the best kind of scent. We got sat very fast even though there was a healthy sized late lunch crowd. Service was fast and our server was amazing. Great sense of humor and kept up on drinks. The menu is quite large, which is great. There's something for just about everyone. I got the tortas and was blown away by how juicy the chicken was and how fresh the vegetables and cheese were. I was too full to try their ice cream, but the next time I make it up to Appleton, I'm going back read more

Ok I didn't actually go here to eat the Mexican food but I went here for the ice cream shop that they have in the restaurant, that intrigued me because I have not seen this combo before. The building is a retread of something from the past with a drive through that's not being used except for storage. The place is street side in front of a shopping center with plenty of parking. I actually drove over over just for the ice cream shop after having lunch somewhere else because I'm not going to be like 3 miles away and not stop by. There is so many good looking treats like fruit bars, chocolate dipped bananas, dipped bars etc so I will post the treat menu to give you an idea of what they have. The young woman helped me just after walking in and explained the treat options and when heard Strawberry creme I said that's the one I want. This was super fu#%ing good and nothing like your average ice creme bar because it was dipped in milk chocolate with sprinkles, I know what's so special about that. The center was like a delicious strawberry creme cheese/cheese cake thing dipped in milk chocolate, Wow this was so good and I am so glad I stopped by the ice cream shop. read more

A great place for authentic style Mexican dishes - love the horchata and desserts! Mangoneda is amazing. The tamales are on a bit of dry side but good flavor on the meat. Tres enchiladas are perfect sizes and tasty. Carne asada was good but chewy . Chips and salsa are great! read more

Always fresh! Always happy to see you! If you want authentic, here's your spot! There is a good energy about this restaurant. A nice place to gather together to celebrate community. read more

This place is amazing! I've had tacos from all over the place and these are some of the best. Remember, we're talking real tacos on corn tortillas with cilantro and onions with amazing meats. If you think a taco is something else then you might see things differently, but I loved this place. I was in town only a week and went here twice. What does that tell you? The lengua was tender and flavorful. A really winner. Don't worry about what it is, i'm sure your grand parents used to east plenty of lengua back in the day. The barbacoa and cabeza were all very good good. But lingua was the tops. but the next day I came and had a carnitas torta which blew my mind. I have not had carnitas this good since I lived in California. Flavorful and a little bit caramelized. So yummy. Just basic things done very well with a wacky spot. Fox valley, you are lucky to have this place and you need to go there all the time. Sorry I didn't get to try the pollo asado, maybe next trip. Friendly service was great as well. I didn't even try the cream and juice bars as I was already freezing but if I was here in the summer I would totally go for them. read more

Chicken Grill Mexican Restaurant - Shrimp tacos - Chicken Shop Near Me - Menasha, Wisconsin

Great Mexican food and hearty portions. Friendly service. Festive atmosphere. Menu has a lot of variety. Lots of dessert options.

This is the most interesting Mexican restaurant I've been to. We had the margaritas and quesadilla. If we had been there for a meal I would have went with the chicken. People were leaving left and right with it. In the middle of the restaurant is a huge selection of ice creams and frozen treats. I believe it would take a lot of visits to try everything they have to offer. read more

Food was really good, my husband loves Mexican food! Me, not at all, their hamburger, chicken and fries were great

This place absolutely confuses me in all the best possible ways! First, it is an authentic Mexican restaurant called... Chicken Palace.... And It is in an old Fazoli's building. So, are you with me...it's a Mexican restaurant, held in an old Italian restaurant, called by a name that makes you expect things like fried chicken, and drumsticks and all the fixings. MIND BLOWN. When you walk in.. There is a HUGE square of coolers. Which is the ice cream part of the store.. Ice cream?? NO, THIS IS WAAAAAY BETTER THAN ICE CREAM. There is a full-fresh smoothie bar on one side of the square. There are cases upon cases of freshly made and delicious looking popsicles and frozen treats on half of the second side of the square. The second 1/2 of the second side and all of side 3 is ice cream, and sherbert, and lemon ice flavors. And on the 4th side...and my favorite side, is their specialty drinks such as horchata, piña coladas, strawberry frescas and límonade with chia seeds... And like 12 other drinks. SERIOUSLY I WANT TO LIVE HERE AND DRINK THIS STUFF FOREVER. We came here on a Sunday afternoon, at 2pm...with 30 people... Seriously, I am not joking. Not only were we greeted enthusiastically and politely, but they barely batted an eye at our group size...each family with separate checks of course. (I am so sorry for that, by the way) 2 servers took care of us. One on one side of the table, the other to the other side. They served us beautifully. Drinks were always full. Our sometimes difficult Orders were executed perfectly. Our to go boxes brought, tables and mess pre-bussed, all while we gorged ourselves on fajitas and seafood, chips and salsa and beans, and those delightful drinks. On the off chance something was missed, like tortillas or a water, it was brought out within minutes. I am not sure why another yelper said you can't order at the tables, that's exactly where you order. Like, they seat you and everything. So idk what he was doing. In any case, I just found out about this place and I am definitely coming back for more. And when I do, i'm getting a large Horchata to go. Cause daaaang, that is goood! read more

So I had heard the name "Chicken Palace" a lot. Had no idea until recently that it was an authentic Mexican restaurant! I honestly thought it was a fried chicken place. I have been here a few times now so I think its finally time to review. Food- The food is flavorful with lots of spices. All the meats have lots of flavor as well. I have had the tacos, enchiladas, fajitas. They are all amazing. I ate a lot of Mexican food in Texas which is mainly Tex-Mex down there and many dishes reminds me a lot of dishes I would get down there. It's the best Mexican food I have had in the area and to be honest I love the others as well but this one is just the best. Drinks- Havent had too many drinks but the Horchata is some of the best Horchata I have had. They also have many fruit flavored waters that are just fruit and water and are delicious. Service- Service is always amazing here. I have always gotten sat quickly. Order taken promptly. Food comes out quickly and the hot foods are always hot and the cold foods cold. Servers are always willing to recommend a dish. Servers check on you regularly and make sure drinks are filled. If you are looking for some amazing, authentic Mexican food. Chicken Palace (Chicken Grill) is the place to do that. You will not be disappointed by anything you order. read more

Love their tacos, drinks, and variety of salsas. Good service and friendly staff as well. read more

We ordered the tamales for delivery. They arrived early and were delicious and reasonably priced. We received 6 pork and 6 chicken. The meat was tender and very flavorful. The mass dough had a nice texture. Some had outer edges which were a bit overcooked. While not my favorite tamale the location, price, and speed of delivery make it a good choice. read more

Always love this place. But I felt like the chicken Palace pulled the racial card being white /Hispanic versus totally Hispanic. A group of six men came in after us We were totally ignored and sat there as the waitress made no effort to take our order. Took their order. I wonder how she would have felt if she knew I knew the owner I think she thought it was funny. We won't be back!! read more

The place to go for authentic Mexican food in Appleton. When you go inside, you feel like you just took a vacation and that's neat, but what's really special about this place is the authenticity of the food and that it just tastes incredible. read more

Chicken Grill Mexican Restaurant - BIG Steak Burrito!!! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Menasha, Wisconsin

Worst service, waited 10 minutes from walking in the door just to be told we can sit where we would like. Then waited another 20+ minutes and were not acknowledged, not even given menus. There's not really a good excuses for this kind of service. Very disappointed. read more

RANCID CHIPS!!!!! DO NOT EAT HERE. This "restaurant" is a HEALTH RISK!!! We told the waitress about the chips and she said they'll check..she kept coming back to ask "todo bien?" (Everything ok?) and never did she say anything about the rancid chips. We did say something again when we paid and she gave us a bullshit story about how the chips get that flavor. They mix old rancid chips with new chips. Instead of throwing away old food they mix it with new. Some chips have a different color...same with Tacos de Tripas...some pieces are darker and chewier and overcooked that the fresh ones. In addition their cheap old food is overpriced! $78 bill for tacos, I could have eaten fresh hibachi cooked right in front of me. HEALTH DEPARTMENT will be contacted!!! read more

Chicken Grill Mexican Restaurant - RANCID CHIPS!!! How do you explain the different color on tortilla chips???? - Chicken Shop Near Me - Menasha, Wisconsin

Me and my family came here, exited to try it out but we were very disappointed in our outcome. The chips and salsa were good but our orders just weren't good at all. Also, worst service ever! We were so confused on what was going on and the workers didn't really seem to know what they were doing. We had to wait at least 10 minutes to order and there wasn't even a line! All that just to be completely disappointed by there food. read more

My go-to for a quick authentic Mexican bite--you can never go wrong with their tacos!

Ordered through EatStreet. Ordered the guacamole appetizer and a burrito. I was disappointed when the over $7 Guac didn't come with chips or anything. The burrito was fairly flavorless and came with no sides either. A small cup of sour cream accompanied. The tortilla and pork was chewy. My dog seemed to enjoy it. read more

Finally I have found an amazing Mexican Restaurant in the area I live. I have been here twice and both times I left stuffed and so happy. The Hawaiian fajitas are delicious. Even the chips with the salsa and been dip are amazing. The staff was so nice both times. Very attentive waitress. But the star is the food. Omg the chicken flautas. We will be back! read more

How have you NOT heard about this place!? This is a fantastic place called la Michoacana - or the Chicken Grill of Menasha Wait staff and cooks are top-notch. Their menu is the best Mexican - authentic style. 2 for 1 / BOGO Margaritas and did I mention they have the best selection of ice cream, including many unique fruit and berry flavors and combos - all made locally! read more

Stopped to see if I could get a margarita in a go cup. Only 1 server knew how to make a margy. I waited 10 minutes or more and then she started to make it and I offered to pay upgrade to Don Julio tequila. When she finished making it I gave her a $20 bill. She rang it up and told me I still owed $.045 more! A $20.45 margarita. OMG. Worst part, I didn't even like it. They should stick to ice cream. Never, ever going back. I should have told her to dump it and return my money. read more

I preordered my food. I was there for about 5-10 minutes before a Mexican guy came to get his food. I just stood there waiting on someone to ask me about me standing there. I was on the phone with my wife telling her no one asked if I was being waited on. I hung up on my wife and began video taping. And this is what you see in the video. read more

Not what I was expecting. When you first walk in you are hit with a blast of colors and a huge dairy bar. It's basically an ice cream shop that happens to have a small kitchen at the back of the shop. You walk past the ice cream bar and go to the back of the shop. There you will be greeted by some very friendly employees. You pick up a menu and order from it. Then you can sit down and an employee will serve you at your table. They do not take orders at the table. Food comes served on a large Styrofoam plate. Food is excellent and very authentic. The bar/cart with different types of salsa is a nice touch. They are all very good. Restaurant offers a large selection of Mexican beer. Staff was very friendly and dining area was exceptionally clean. The food gets five stars, but the atmosphere doesn't do it justice. Can't wait to go back and try some of their delishious ice cream treats.....they looked delicious! read more

My husband and I ate there yesterday for only $25.00. We had half a chicken, tortillas, beans, rice, 2 drinks and ice cream. We ate till we could not eat any more. The food was delicious and the staff was amazing! Will definitely be going back. read more

This place is great it was fast, delicious and very friendly I definitely recommended.

I really like this place. They're tacos are as close to authentic as you can get in this area, the chicken is so good and they serve it with this fried onion that is so so good. They have this huge ice cream section in the middle with like a million flavors and they're all so good. Oh and they're horchata is muy bueno. read more

You can't go wrong with the food at this place. it is extremely authentic and delicious. The grilled chicken is tender, the tacos are simple, the pozole soup is outstanding, the drinks are generous. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is the service. Sometimes it is good, other times really terrible. if they could sort that out, 5 stars for sure. read more

Very authentic Mexican food. Place was clean server was prompt and friendly. We will definitely go back again and again!
