    Lines can get long, but very worth the wait.

    I have become somewhat of a regular at La Casita. Hands down, you won't find a better breakfast (or lunch) in the area. Everything -- and I mean everything - is cooked fresh and made to order. My personal favorites are the tortas. My wife and I eat here 4-6 times a week. The number could reach as high as 7 days a week if they were open Sunday's. Two brothers (Marco and Victor) run this restaurant and they both have a passion for quality and delicious taste. My typical order is a breakfast torta with bacon and extra bacon and a fajita torta. My wife and I share both so we get a half of each. Oh my gosh -- the food is so good -- the place never gets old. While it is good to call your order in ahead of time, it's best to eat the food onsite. The meal is hotter, fresher, and tastes even better. That's not to say it won't be good if you take it home. We have about a ten minute drive home -- the food is still hot when we get home. I highly recommend trying this place. You will not be disappointed! 5 stars - and since we go there most days of the week, I would definitely try this place again.

    What a nice surprise. My husband came across some nice reviews of this place - and at first I was skeptical... tacos from a gas station? Ehh... why the hell not! I am so glad we tried it. The tacos are delicious! We ordered the beef fajita, pastor, and chicken tacos and we're extremely impressed. The tacos are $2 each, cooked fresh, and made to order. They are stuffed full if meat - definitely worth the price. I can't wait to try more!

    After a friends recommendation I finally tried lunch here. I got 4 corn tacos- al pastor, fajita, asada, and Barbacoa. Oh my goodness! Reminded me of my younger days when I lived in south Houston and found these delicious taco trucks. The meat all tasted great, not overly greasy and no grizzle. Really tender and full of flavor. They top them with onions and cilantro and give you two salsas - red and green. Both salsas added an additional layer of flavor. He fills the tacos to the top, definitely no skimping on the meat. The staff is friendly and food comes out pretty quick. The store has 3 booths if you want to stay and eat. I got mine to go. I'm excited to return for a torta and breakfast.

    Thanks for the referral Kelley. The best tacos I have had in a long time. I was a little hesitate because it was in a Shell gas station. I had the taco platter. Corn tortillas. One with grilled chicken, barbacoa and pierna de cerdo(roasted pork). The roasted pork was so tender and the barbacoa was the best barbacoa I have tasted. Not fatty meat. Good favor. I was too full to eat the rice and beans. My husband had the carne asada torta. He said it was ok. He said he will try the Cuban torta next time. The Cuban torta is made with the slow cooked pork. Tacos are $2.00 for corn. I like places that serve with two corn tortillas for each taco. That means it won't fall apart when they over stuff it with meat. You just have to get pass the gas station atmosphere.

    Chorizo, egg, and cheese on flour and corn. Preferred flour, corn was store bought.

    This is my favorite non-chain Mexican restaurant. From the over-the-top margaritas to the fresh…read morechips and salsa, we get the same thing every time we go, which is the paradilla fajitas. The service is always excellent. The food everything that I have had from here is so good all the time consistently. I have probably dined here at least 50 times in 16 years. And every single time it is so good. Best margaritas in town for sure. We also always get queso, the fajita is there so much that we used to get the fajitas for two and now we just got them for one because there's so much meat and the onions and peppers and you just can't go wrong at this place! Most importantly, get a margarita, the mango margarita I don't like frozen margaritas so I can get mine on the rocks usually rimmed with Tajin. The other cool thing is all of the servers expediters they help each other. I've been in the restaurant business a long time. Nothing in my eyes for front of the house then to have everybody working as a team. And if you stop someone, that's not your server and ask for something they just get it for you. Definitely try this place if you're in town. You won't regret it.

    This was my first visit to El Palenque in Spring. You get a friendly greeting as soon as you walk…read morein, this restaurant was packed and lets you know it must be good food. They have a really good salsa to go with their chips. I ordered Chicken Enchiladas with Queso Blanco and it was delicious, i'll definitely be back to order this again. If you haven't been here you're missing out as they have great Food and Service with an exciting atmosphere with plenty of staff that were very attentive!!
