    First time here ! They have excellent Menudo, , homemade tortillas, & excellent breakfast tacos. The Chicharrón tacos are very good and the Morcillo taco with picadillo was amazing . This is a little hole in the wall restaurant that's kind of hidden. I like these kind of places very quaint place. Everybody's nice & polite . Will be definitely going back for many more bowls of Menudo !

    Carne Guisada

    We found this place by accident. My wife was down the street having coffee with her dad. My daughter and I let them have some time so we went ahead and looked for some breakfast and we found this restaurant. The decor is very homey and made me feel like I was back in my own barrio (neighborhood). The first thing my daughter said was that it reminded her of the movie CoCo. They were super busy, but we were greeted right away and told to make ourselves at home and sit wherever we wanted. My daughter and I found a great little place to sit, watch some futbol, and enjoy some complimentary queso. The queso was subpar but the chips were nice and warm. I ordered a carne guisada taco which was delicious and had great flavor, and my daughter ordered her favorite bean chorizo and bacon taco a bit greasy but that is par for the course for this taco. I also ordered a chicharrone taco which was full of flavor and cooked just right. The salsa was flavorful and the price was right. They had ample parking and it was a nice quiet neighborhood spot.

    This place in Shertz is great!! We were hoping it wasnt crowded because it was 11:30am on a Saturday. To our surprise they had plenty of seating and great customer service. The waitresses are dressed in cute mexican dresses and they have beautiful wall murals in there. We had quick service, they serve delicious cheese, salsa, and chips before your meal. Clean place and our meals were well served and delicious too. I recommend the horchata but not the lemonade(it was too sour for our taste, may be fountain lemonade). All in all it was great, we would go back

    Sausage and egg!

    After a week of searching fir breakfast tacos, I found a place. I've been driving by this lovely green and gold building for years. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a friendly staff member in a well decorated dining room. I then ordered a sausage and egg taco, a bacon and egg along with a carne guisada taco. When I arrived home, I was crying because the tacos were still hot. I dressed them with their green sauce and started eating. The sausage and egg tacos was delicious because there was ample sausage mixed with the egg and the carne had lumps of beef in a flavorful gravy. What made the tacos was the garlic that was present either in the sauce or the eggs and sausage themselves. Also, the flour tortillas or homemade, so they were great by themselves. Finally, South, Texas, boasts hundreds of Mexican restaurants, but some are better than most. And I have stumbled on a gem in Schertz, Texas. Once you find Schertz Bank on main street, the green and gold building is right down the street. If you're there before 3 o'clock give them a try. However, I think they have a food truck that's open in the evening.

The plate is smaller and is made of some type of foam. I was a little surprised but since it's been a long time not eating at taco palenque, I ordered and ate the food! When I was done eating, I saw the knife and fork marks on the foamed plate (see photos). I immediately informed and show my wife my plate and asked her "is this safe to eat?" She looked at me a surprised looked and I told her, are we eating small particles of foam/plastic" when we cut our food and eat it? Her eyes opened wider and said "OMG! I think we are!". Just want to warn all customers that you may be risking your health by consuming Taco Palenque's food served on these cheap, easy to break, foamed plates. And you may be digesting these plastic in your body! Note to Taco Palenque-What test have your venue done that these new plates are safe to consume/digest with your food? Who made the decision to changed from their paper-like plate to foamed plate? Not safe!

We ordered a chorizo and egg burrito, an asada taco with egg, a chorizo taco with egg, and a chorizo plate. The main reason for the lower rating was the chorizo. It had a very unusual texture and flavor--almost more like ground chicken. It wasn't bad, just very different from any chorizo I've had before, so it wasn't quite what I expected. My husband said the burrito tasted good but had a bit too many beans. My son's chorizo plate was plentiful and he said it was good. The salsas were also really good with no complaints there, and the customer service at the drive-thru was friendly. Overall, it was a decent experience. When I rate places, I usually compare them to the best and worst I've had in that type of food. This spot definitely isn't the worst, but it didn't quite beat my favorites either. I went back and forth between giving it a 3 or a 4, but it's still worth trying, and I wouldn't hesitate to stop here again if I needed a quick bite.

The tacos were really good, with the al pastor being my favorite of the three. I didn't love the quesabirria, though. It was a little light on the meat and loaded with cheese. That said, it's probably more of a "me" issue since I'm not a huge fan of overly cheesy dishes. If my husband had been with me, he likely would have loved it because cheese is definitely his thing!
