Kids play area
Mario N.

The service and atmosphere are good and the atmosphere is family-friendly Authentic Mexican food is served here, and it is very good Finally, kids area. It's not very common in The Valley

Brian J.

I placed a pick-up order on 6-18-19 and received an email saying the order was placed. I received a text message saying when the order was going to be ready. My credit card was charged. I arrived to Taco Palenque and they had no record of the order and had no idea how to even find it. Then they claimed that they didn't have a password to get the order. The young man behind the counter did a great job helping me get my order given the severe limitations they have with this app. The order was completed relatively quickly. The food was okay. The cilantro was expired. The quesadilla was just a whole bunch of cheese with little chicken and a whole lot of no flavor. I contacted Yelp and inquired about the breakdown with this order. They were no help but happily cancelled the order. I paid the restaurant directly so they would get paid for helping me fulfill the order. I'm just sorry i didn't get the name of the young man who helped me so I could give him credit. That was probably the only good experience.

Asada street tacos
Shannon W.

I have gone many times and consistently like the food. I will say sometimes presentation is better on certain days but taste is always good. I either get carne asada street tacos or a chicken quesadilla. I usually always ordered refried beans and chips to dip on the side. I love their Pico and their mild salsa. During covid they give you small cups. I miss the buffet of toppings and salsas. Overall I eat here very often and will consistently come back.

I still remember when one of the first Taco P opened on 10th street in McAllen a few years back. The flavor is exactly the same after all these years and that's a good thing. I've been ordering nothing but a pair of Tacos Reynosa in my recent visits, I prefer corn tortilla rather than flour. They're prepared with grilled onions and cilantro, a taco's best friends. The tenderness of the fajita is spot on, and the grill flavor is just phenomenal. They're very generous with the meat, one taco is good for most people, not for me though. The tortilla was soft and firm at the same time, just enough so it won't break. It had a good flavor to it, just a nice very mild corn taste not too overpowering. Their salsa offerings are great, some very spicy for people like me and some very mild as well, the "Pico de Gallo" is my favorite. The red sauce is the most spicy, go easy on that one. I like that they have a small chips and salsa bar, you can help yourself with as much as you want. The only thing I don't like is the price, four tacos for $17 is just way too expensive. If not for the price I'd be here more often. They have a great menu and do recommend people to stop by.

Potato and chorizo taco, but where the heck is the chorizo? There are "specks," but not what I'm used to when ordering something like this.
Mel B.

We are visiting from out of town and I headed out from the hotel in search of good coffee and breakfast tacos. The lady at the coffee shop recommended this place. I ordered two potato & chorizo and two bean & chorizo tacos. I will say the tortillas & beans were very good, but this picture is a representation of the chorizo in the tacos. Seriously? I am giving two stars for the great tortillas, the yummy refried beans and really good service. Still irked about the swine sausage stinginess.

Pro #1: Meat is sooooooo tender. I wish it had more seasoning ... even if it was salt nonetheless…read moreit was good! Con #1: This restaurant is not environmentally conscious. Other than the meal, everything is served on styrofoam, utensils are plastic and cups are bad fast food plastic qualify. Con # 2: I asked the waitress if they had unsweet tea and pink packet sweetener. I asked about the pink packets 3 times and she said yes. She came back with yellow packets. I asked if they had pink packets and she said no. No to her. Con # 3: There are no free refills. I ordered two unsweet teas and the girl brought me two unsweet teas with yellow packets. So I asked for a sweet teas. They charged me for three Aqua Frescas. Charged $15. Hell no. Meh. Pass on a second visit.

Another recent discovery here in Mission, TX. This small restaurant is off the main road in a strip…read moremall and seats maybe 40-50 people. The menu is simple but offers some variety. We were served a small plate with warm, crisp tortilla chips that were sprinkled with a seasoned powder (not Tajin) that was pretty salty. I shook off the powder as it made them too salty, even for my tastes. The greenish salsa was also a little salty but VERY TASTY and had a little kick. From where we were seated I observed the cook blackening the tomatillos on a grill in the kitchen. These were the backbone of this salsa. If it weren't quite so salty I'd be raving about them. I ordered a platter with three main items - Lonches, Sincronizada and Street tacos. All three items must be filled with the same protein, so I chose Birria. Other choices include pollo, bistek, trompo and fajita. The birria was nice and juicy and well seasoned. The Lonches were larger pieces of bread than I'm accustomed to finding, especially in Progresso, where they are quite popular. They were also toasted it seemed instead of being soft and pillowy. The street tacos were excellent with toppings of red onion and cilantro. The Sincronizada was something I'd never eaten before and was a smaller version of the one they serve as a main course. It was not the traditional dish which comes with slices of ham, but it was pretty good filled with birria. Charro beans were also served if I remember correctly. I ate one of the lonches, one of the tacos (the other I gave to my son) and the Sincronizada and was stuffed; leftovers for a later meal. The wife ordered the full version of a Sincronizada filled with pollo (chicken) and wasn't able to even finish half of it. It was huge! They brought us two bottles of salsa - a green salsa and a reddish/orange salsa. Both were pretty hot by my standards and the reddish one would absolutely hurt you if you added too much. So... a word to the wise... caution advised. They were quite tasty. All in all we will come back. I particularly want to try out some of their other proteins and their fajitas.

The RGV has many taquerías, most offering the same items on the menu. Few stand out as exceptional…read more When I saw that Ana Liz Taquería won the James Beard Award, my expectations were high, and with this visit they won my admiration. Ana Liz Taquería is located a few blocks north of Expressway 83 in Mission on the west side of Conway. Parking in the front is quite limited, but there is additional parking in the back. I found the taquería small but bright, clean, and pleasant inside. I was welcomed as I entered by one of the several friendly employees who handed me a menu (English on one side, Spanish on the other). She informed me of the protocol: order and pay at the window, then I'd be given a number to place at my table, and my order would be brought to me. The menu has many entrees that sounded wonderful: various kinds of tacos, tostadas, flautas, quesadillas, botanas, and other antojitos. I ordered the chile relleno taco, the alambre taco, and vampiro, all with fajita meat. I thought the chile relleno taco would be my favorite because I love any kind of chile relleno. While I did absolutely love it, I was captivated by the deliciousness of the fajita vampiro which includes melted cheese, guacamole, juicy fajita chunks, and pico de gallo... oh my! It was heavenly! One of the things that stood out to me was that the beef was not over-cooked as most taquerías do... This was cooked to perfection, still juicy, and well seasoned. To accompany the food, the server brought out an assortment of salsas, some fresh Mexican style cream, and some lime. I tried all the salsas except for one ( salsa macha). They were all excellent and ranged from mild to medium spiciness. Something else worth noting is the import their corn, and make their own tortillas. The vampiro was made with blue Mexican corn. For drinks, I ordered the limonada which they provide freshly bottled with a glass of ice. It was a perfect blend. Some reviewers mentioned the price... yes. The prices are higher here than at most taquerías. However, considering the exceptional quality, flavor, and service, AND that they are a James Beard Award winning establishment... it is well worth it. Ana Liz Taquería is 20 miles away from where I live, but I will definitely be back when I want some extra special Mexican tacos!

The hands-down best taco restaurant I've ever been to (including taquerias I've been to in Mexico…read moreand in Texas' biggest cities). The vampiros are so insanely delicious, I regret not filling up on them when I order anything else. Their tortillas and fajita are really good too. The restaurant itself is nothing crazy, very mom and pop, and the parking is a tough situation. Very crowded lot. Service is also not phenomenal but the food is absolutely delicious! One feature of their service I'd love for them to fix: when you order, you wait in line at a window before being seated. If you decide later you want a single extra taco, you have to go get back in line AND they take just as long as they took to bring your food originally so if you don't order something initially, it'll take so long to get it after the fact that you'll wish you just left. Customers who are already seated should be able to order with waitstaff and not wait in line again for twenty minutes. That does not make sense.
