WARNING- Came here yesterday for the first time in a long time. I was very surprised at their new plates they are mowing serving their food. 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! read more

So we come here a lot, and let me tell you, this was the first time seeing this potato on their menu. I was super excited and definitely not disappointed. It was a super huge potato with meat, cheese, and butter along with sour cream on the side. Very yummy and definitely will get again. I highly recommend this spud! Be sure to bring an appetite if you want to try this monster. read more

Taco Palenque - Baked potato with meat. - Mexican Near Me - Schertz, Texas

If you want Tex, Mex keeping driving this is not that place. Only one combo plate for $20 not cool at all. Flour tortillas were flat and chewy way too much lard. Refried good , rice tasteless, beef fajitas had a great taste just not many of them. Food was not delivered hot at all. Salsa bar could use more salsa and hotter salsa. If you like not spicy food this is the place. Inside of store is clean, but lady at register was like a deer in the head lights. First time last time! read more

I ordered online Palenque Salad with chicken Fajita meat was dry, no flavor and not very interesting salad ingredients. The tortilla chips were added on salad which made them soggy. No account for presentation of salad. I highly do not recommend to order this Salad. read more

I have tried taco palenque in the past and was not a big fan. Stopped today because I have been craving Fideo loco for a while and saw they had it. I had super low expectations coming in....but wow! Let's get right into the many positives. The chilaquiles taco was one of the better ones I've had in a while. They had a double tortilla on the speciality tacos which was a welcome thoughtful idea! The chicharron was tasty and very well cooked. Here is a tip! None of the food is spicy! At least not to me. Like at all. We also had the potato and chorizo tacos and potato and egg. The chorizo egg was just ok, the potatoes were just missing the little bit of crunchiness you get on the better ones. The potato and egg was better than average. The Fideo loco hit the spot! This is what it's supposed to be. It was even better when I got home and added sorely needed lime! It made it even better. The avocado sauce literally taste like avocado. Sadly it tastes just like only avocado. There was no kick to it. Depending on the taco, it either was great or gross. The red sauce was pretty good too. The negatives.... Well I'm no huge fan of flour tortillas. I am of this style, the super thin ones. The problem was the inconsistency. Some were cooked perfectly, and some were undercooked, which made them tough and gummy. Also we ordered that burrito chicharron burrito. I should've been weary when the lady at drive thru asked if I was sure because it had a lot of beans. Well the beans aren't good and they put soo much, that it completely overpowered the burrito. Also not such a good combo with the chicharron which made for a horrible texture experience. The best part is it was super affordable and great portions! Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

Was given the wrong order in the drive thru, when I returned the manager blamed me, though my receipt ahowed the correct items I ordered. 0 stars if I could read more

Best chain Mexican food on earth. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I can't wait to go back.

I ordered the six street tacos w/ Al pastor, the number two, the number one, sirloin steak plate & chicken mole enchiladas. Service was very fast and neatly packaged. Customer Service was very helpful with our order. He helped us make decisions on what was good based off of what was popular in the area. My favorite from here would have to be the Al Pastor street tacos they were AMAZEBALLS. My least favorite would have to be the chicken mole enchilada, way too sweet and did not have much meat. I think that was my main issue with the place would have to be that they were not generous with the servings of meat. The cleanliness and atmosphere of the place was very nice and bright. Definitely stood out to me from the freeway. All in all, I would only return here for the Al Pastor street tacos but it would not be my first pick to stop. read more

I eat at any Taco Palenque I can find anywhere any day any time - and so should you. Their breakfast tacos are THE BEST - it be warned: each one has at least 2 eggs in it, PLUS whatever you ordered with it. Their fresh salsa bar is the best - who doesn't want chips and salsa with breakfast? I make a note of the most northerly TP to me (in Dallas), and I have been eating at TPs every time I come back to South Texas - starting in the 1980s when they were one store in Laredo. Don't have to go into San Antonio since now they are in New Braunfels - BUT -- These folks need to get to Dallas already!! 5 amazing breakfast taco stars! read more

Great spot for a quick Tex-Mex meal. Love their street tacos and fajitas. Meat is tender and has a nice smokey grilled flavor. The nacho and condiment bar are a nice complement to the meal. They also have self-serve horchata and aguas de Jamaica drink fountains. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, and the dining room is well kept. read more

EVERY time I go through themm no drive through, the order is WRONG! Today I ordered Super Fideo only to receive plain fideo.

Don't do drive through- go inside to get your food!! read more

Taco Palenque - Not Super Fideo - Mexican Near Me - Schertz, Texas

This was our first experience with Taco Palenque and the whole family really enjoyed it. We got steak fajitas and quesadillas. The packaging was very secure and the food came out in less than 5 minutes. It was $15 but it made three very solid and tasty fajita tacos. The tortillas were perfectly cooked and so is the steak. Very juicy and perfectly tender not chewy at all. The quesadillas were also premium and what you're typically going to get from a bar or restaurant. The whole family was really pleased and we will definitely be back! read more

Definitely not for a meet up and have food. Seriously much better off at Taco Cabana. The service wasn't really the issue the quality of food was very lacking. The ambiance is ok but the lighting is annoyingly white but dull florescent... yeah never going back read more

Normally, I'm a Taco Palenque fan. I've never had less than quality food and great service at the other locations I've been to, but this location is still experiencing some growing pains. This is a huge new location and, unlike other locations, they now have ordering kiosks. The salsa and condiment bar also seems to have another mild sauce that reminds me a lot of the basic Taco Cabana salsa. But here's the issues. Namely, they have a hard time keeping up with demand at this location. Orders seemed to take a long time to get delivered to tables -- part of which may have been related to multiple staff members dining in the dining room and the servers stopping by to visit. Also, both my sirloin and fajita tacos had several pieces of fatty meat that shouldn't have been served. The iced tea also ran out and wasn't replaced during my visit. I love Taco P and I'll stop again because it's near where I occasionally work, but I'll try to time my visit when there's not a rush. read more

A dreamy eating spot for an introvert looking to eat, but also keep human interaction to a minimum. 3 functioning & user friendly ordering kiosks are available to customers to place their orders and pay with a card. The kiosks do not accept cash. Traditional registers are available for cash customers. All sauces, vegetable toppings, lime wedges, chips, utensils, and containers are available to self-serve in a centralized island. We don't need to ask any of the employees for extras! Drinks are also self-serve with the exception that you pick up your cup at the registers. Music is not too loud and you can sit, eat your food, enjoy a book in the back corner, and be alright. It is good that do not offer Wi-Fi because I would be in here daily doing my homework and just taking up a table for hours. This location is clean and since I've been sitting here (I am actually still sitting here writing this review at 10:15 am on a Thursday morning) at least two employees are cleaning and organizing, replenishing the toppings, wiping down drinks area and the self-serve area. Food: Ordered a Fajita Burrito and was very happy with the freshness. The meat is tender and flavorful. The rice is cooked to perfection and mild that I allows the meat flavors to shine through and be the star of the show. Drink: Horchata, a perfect medium. Not too runny and not too sweet, but just right! read more

I love this place but every single time I order I get a different size and price quoted to me on my guacamole. Today they wanted to charge me $3.09 and showed me a portion cup that held about 2oz. What??? I just wanted to add guacamole to my tacos but in the side. In the past that was $0.79 for a 1oz portion cup. I just had them take it off. It's very frustrating. read more

Great food. Service with a smile! The crispy beef tacos are delicious. Beans taste so good. Definitely recommend!

Was traveling with my bf and decided to try this place. The lady taking my order kept saying "what" or "huh" after adding something to my order. Y'all shouldn't put someone with a language barrier at the cashier! While placing my to go order i asked for enchiladas suizas, the cashier then says "oh enchilada verdes" i tell her no suizas and she continued to put enchilada verde. I asked her do those come with cheese on top and she said "yes that comes with chicken and cheese inside and cheese on top" so I went ahead and continued my order. Asked for a side of rice she then puts a regular side of guacamole on the screen so I asked; Is that for the rice? and she said yes it's rice and that she has to put it like that because it's regular size. I got my food and I was so irritated! The enchiladas didn't have cheese outside or in. The tortillas were ripping apart as if they don't cook them before putting sauce on top! The rice and beans that come with that meal are in small sauce containers for some odd reason. The side of "rice" turned out to be in fact guacamole. The chicken quesadilla is supposed to have muenster cheese but they used a mix of cheddar and Monterey jack. Id rather eat at taco bell than this establishment! I won't be returning!! read more

This is not the first time here and it is always perfect nothing to complain about. I had sirloin burrito, it was very good. My husband had A sirloin taco and a beef fajita taco. He said they were great. Fresh warm and delicious. The restaurant was very clean and the staff very friendly. read more

The pastor street tacos were good overall and came with a side of beans that was mostly bean juice though. I would prefer my tortillas less oily. For the price there are better tacos out there but this is good if you want to pull off 35 and grab something quick. read more

Soft and hard tacos plus the rice and salsa red are good Beans are alright And enchiladas negative read more

The food here is excellent and the fact that they were open late, was even a plus. I drove in from Orange, TX on my way home to Spring Branch. The only thing that I can complain about is that they weren't sure of what I was trying to order. I wanted the Street Sirloin, but somehow, ordered the matamoros tacos. It's wall good and not their fault, except that I told her street tacos and she didn't know the menu. No worries, I'll get it right next time. I definitely recommend them 100%. Just make sure you know the menu before you go. read more

The best Mexican food I've had in the area. Beef fajitas are amazing, and their beans and rice are great. They also have the best packaging I've seen on a delivery - everything was sealed and still warm. read more

Service was great, gave me recommendations that were delicious. The salsa bar was fresh and yummy. I would definitely go again.

The amazing burrito not only tasted incredible but also helped fix my relationship with my husband... long story LOL !!!! With every bite, it brought back happy memories and reignited the love between us. It's more than just food--it's a special experience that brought us back together. read more

Great food and great quantities! Not as spicy as we like but there was so much! Great value.

In town for work and decided to give this place a try. Was pleasantly surprised how good the food is. I need a location in the Dallas area. Will be eating here again for sure. read more

We had about 50 of us show up on Sunday night and the staff was happy to serve us!!! Excellent service... food was great and orders were out very quickly. Highly recommend this location! read more

I entered the building, and tears came to my eyes as I seen the chips and salsa bar. All you can eat. Chips. And salsa. Not just one kind of salsa but several ranging from mild to OMFG!. After I pulled myself together I made it to the counter to order my food. They have a wide variety of food on the menu, but I opted to see what a 9.99 burrito looked like. I got my bag (I ordered to go), and it weighed almost as much as I do. I sat down at a table and pulled out my burrito. It was ginormous. Before I unwrapped it, I was thinking "I've seen this before. It's all hamburger and not much else.", but I was wrong. It was a lot of everything. Sure it was $10, but it was worth every penny and some. I will definitely be going back. read more

I really like the food here, the only complaint I have is sometimes when you ask for something other than what's on the menu it isn't always done . In the drive thru anyway. But they are usually quick and it's always good food read more

Ordered three two taco breakfast meals and two bean and cheese. Need up with only five tacos, after having my order doubled checked at the window. One had some pork on it, I don't eat pork. Just not my place. read more
