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.

Tiny chicken quesadilla

Umm...so I've never been here before this and i certainly won't be going back. Over $10 for this???? Are we serious? I know prices have gone up but this is ridiculous...

Trio breakfast tacos are so good I definitely recommend it those are good trust me

Breakfast taco trio those are amazing nice flour tortilla, horchata agua Fresca one of my favorite from this place I definitely recommend it

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.

The apitamy of Drunk food! South texas staple. Man do I love these tacos and burritos haven't been to a taco palenque in over a year. The free chips the fresh salsa always the best!

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.

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

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!
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.

I can't remember her name but I believe she is one of the owners daughters - and she's a real asset to the restaurant. My husband had a combination platter with all the favorites - enchiladas, taco, and a tamale, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I opted for something that was a little less---well, you know----but when in Rome---don't eat the spinach and mushrooms----get the tacos, savor the enchiladas. They know what they're doing and next visit I will lean into their expertise, enhanced by another Mexican martini. Buen provecho!

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 $14 ...which I don't feel is appropriate- people always wanna add money to sub a veggie for meat but never reduce the price when just removing the meat all together. Anyways, Ordered my food which was out promptly, the veggie bowl was delicious as always and the arepita appetizer (no meat) was good- reminded me of a fried potatoe cake, I used the arepitas as a vessel for my veggie bowl ! I brought the remainder of my bowl home where I bit into something very hard , once pulling it out of my mouth I discovered some beef snuck it's way into my dish- disappointing forsure but it is the first time out of about 10 times this has happened here. Prices have gone up over the last few years my veggie bowl was 18$.

For a Saturday afternoon it was pretty quiet. We were the only ones there so it was pretty silent. It seemed like they had reopened or something, seemed like most of the attention was in the back and not out front but they our server came by and dropped of some chips and salsa. I looked at the menu and it was very Texmex, so much so that I didn't feel any guilt whatsoever in ordering hard shell tacos. Since we already got the chips we decided to get their queso as well. The food basically all arrived at the same time and the queso was served in a small soup cup-TONs of their queso and since it was family, double dipping the queso into the salsa was not judged; pretty decent. My tacos were good-the lettuce, tomatoes and cheese were just kind of tossed on top and not in but I guess that's what I get for ordering hard shell tacos. I should have gone full Taco Bell and just gotten the beef, the shredded chicken was just ok.
