    Ok, I don't know if I've shared about this little jewel we have in Texas, but here you are. "Taco Palenque" is a small Mexican food chain that I find really does it right. They have an amazing variety menu to even include breakfast. I'm not talking breakfast tacos and burritos. I'm talking hotcakes. Yes. Today, Thursday they offered a "Fish Taco" special that would put "Cabo Bobs" to shame. Two hunks of battered fish, shredded cabbage and a special sauce, with a medium size drink of your choice all for $9.99. The hunks of fish provide a mouthful of flavor. You also gain access to the self service salsa bar. This alone is a special treat. Shredded, lettuce, cabbage, pickled onions, radish, limes and a variety of salsa flavors. I'm still trying to figure their daily specials. Once they offered BOGO on their burritos. I was in heaven. You can order at the electronic menu or walk up and a live associate will happily take your order. The service here is amazing. They bring the food to your table. Someone is always cleaning tables so you can enjoy a clean table as you dine in. They're more than willing to answer any questions about...anything. Find one close to you and see what I'm talking about. You will not be disappointed. Michael C. - Georgetown, Tx.

    This was a drive-through order. I will go inside next time. But I want to express how helpful the gentleman at the speaker's was in taking my order. So this was my first time, and I was looking for something small but good. He started asking what I had a taste for--did I want something cheesy, nachos, or quacamole? I told him yes to all three, and he suggested adding beef to the nachos. It was the perfect dish. Now, yes, of course, I have had nachos before, but this one packed a punch. This nacho dish had plenty of cheese, the nachos were very crispy, the guacamole was fresh, and the beef was tender and well-seasoned. But the one thing that really stood out was how they inserted the order inside a plastic bag to keep the meal hot. It was still hot when I came home. I even took care of some household chores before sitting down to enjoy my cheesy beef-and-guacamole nachos. But the next time, I will dine inside to enjoy the music I heard while ordering outside.

    Kids bean and cheese taco (comes with 2 tortillas).

    I have been here a couple of times (always through the drive-thru) and have been please with the food. Today I ordered the kids meal bean and cheese taco with fideo . The meal was packaged well with plenty of napkins and a spoon for the fideo. I chose horchata for the drink which was very, very good. The taco had two flour tortillas (there was enough filling to split it into two tacos). The flavor was delicious. I, also, really liked the fideo that came with two additional four tortillas. All of this for $5.95 (that included the tax). Super pleased with the food.

    Panchos- amazing!
    Lyla A.

    Ordered 6 burritos through Uber Eats today. The food was hot, plentiful, and delicious. Everyone enjoyed them. Our favorites were the sirloin, beef fajita, and picadillo.

    Panchos!
    Davidm A.

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place before... OMG, get the panchos. They are huge and full of greatness. My wife usually gets the massive quesadilla they have. Portion size for 2 when you dine in. If you get to go, it seems like the portion is a bit smaller. They deliver to your table instead of you having to walk back to the counter. They also have a salsa bar. So you can get up and grab your own condiments. I'd say this place is great. It's fairly inexpensive as well. Place is clean kept up... has some t.vs to watch while you wait or eat. I come at least once a month to devour some panchos.

    Lunchtime is slamming y'all. Live by so many great places and I'm trying to figure out how I can eat at all of them.

    Corn in Cup Regular  Taco Fajita
    Stephanie C.

    So disappointed. I paid $12 for a cup that had canned corn with the juice & a few curdles of cheese for good measure I guess and a taco that was ridiculously tiny. I spent half of my lunch time in line only to throw everything away. Ugh.

    Panchos w/ Beef Fajita. OMG!

    My go-to place for delicious fresh Mexican food made to your specifications, starting as early as 6:30 am! Love the complementary chips and salsa bar, too, which is available starting at 8:00 am. Convenient drive-thru service. Superb flavored margaritas also.

Stumbled on this place while headed to Hoody's and it was packed so we popped in. Seat yourself - nothing fancy. The vibe here is local Mexican restaurant. The server was nice but became more engaged when I spoke Spanish to her. She greeted us with chips and two warm bowls of charro beans, which were absolutely delicious. My husband had a Cuban-style torta which was huge and he inhaled. It's not a Cubano - it's a traditional torta with ham and cheese added. He had fajita steak in his and said it was phenomenal. Honestly we could have split this and both been full. I have the taquitos plate. I went with chicken breast and al pastor (2 of each). Came with optional cilantro and onions (don't skip) and grilled onions/pepper plus a side. I couldn't finish it. The chicken was soooo good - very flavorful and not dry, some of the best chicken breast I've had in a while. The Al pastor was good too, but the chicken was exceptional, which I never thought I'd prefer! Under $30 with drinks and tip, this was very very good. The chicken soup others were enjoying also looked stellar - nobody was looking up from their bowl. Great little find. Will definitely be back!

I came back and waited about a minutes before I was acknowledged, I was sat and the waitress was attentive. I wanted to try the arepita appetizer which is normally served with shredded beef/pork or chicken on the side- to get a side of plantains instead of meat, it was going to add 3$ to the 14$ appetizer so I just opted to omit the meat all together and still had to pay the $14 ...which I don't feel is appropriate- people always wanna add money to sub a veggie for meat but never reduce the price when just removing the meat all together. Anyways, Ordered my food which was out promptly, the veggie bowl was delicious as always and the arepita appetizer (no meat) was good- reminded me of a fried potatoe cake, I used the arepitas as a vessel for my veggie bowl ! I brought the remainder of my bowl home where I bit into something very hard , once pulling it out of my mouth I discovered some beef snuck it's way into my dish- disappointing forsure but it is the first time out of about 10 times this has happened here. Prices have gone up over the last few years my veggie bowl was 18$.

The venue is a cocina (Mexican kitchen) and tequila bar. Solciedad is the reimagined version of the longtime Alcove Cantina, which reopened in April 2026 with a refreshed interior, revamped menu, and an expanded tequila and mezcal selection while keeping its role as a local nightlife venue. Sociedad is divided into three main areas...front, back and side all with different purposes. The front area looks primarily like a bar with side seating. You likely are in this section for a Tequila tasting or drink with conversation. The back room was more like a concert-like area with an open ceiling. You literally could see the stars from this section of the restaurant. I listened to some rhythm and blues and find the band to be smooth and sexy. However, my friends were in the last section, where a DJ was spinning Latin tunes. While it was fun to see my friends, it was totally slow boogie. The songs lasted too long, and we only heard a few songs that were familiar. I ordered a frozen Margarita, but they were out of Margarita. I have never been to a Mexican food restaurant that did not serve Margaritas. So, I then ordered some guacamole and chips, which I shared with my friends. After one set of music, we decided to leave the restaurant. Service was pretty good at the restaurant. Although our server was acting as server and bartender simultaneously. Also, there was no cover charge for Sociedad.

But the chicken seemed like it was boiled then put in the quesadilla and fried on the flat top which would have been fine but the chicken seemed quite dry. Maybe I came in at a bad time not sure because when I had it at the truck I was dreaming about it for weeks so maybe it was just not my day but over all it wasn't bad and the 3 star is more because my expectations were set based on the other location. I am definitely going to be back to chase that first time flavor again but this time it just missed the mark unfortunately.
