    Baked potato with meat.
    Angel G I.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Beef fajita - good amount of beef!

    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.

    Food is disgusting tbh the enchiladas they gave me had zero cheese inside & the sauce is RANK & rice costs like 30 p/lb so idk why the small rice portions but be so serious WONT BE BACK!!!!

    Not Super Fideo
    Gerardo B.

    EVERY time I go through themm no drive through, the order is WRONG! Today I ordered Super Fideo only to receive plain fideo. I didn't receive my tortillas, got someone else's bean and cheese and all this after sitting and waiting off to the side for 20 Minutes. Don't do drive through- go inside to get your food!!

    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!

    Chuy's used to be the place to go for happy hour. I remember when they had the nacho bar and great…read morehappy hour specials. Those days are gone. My current visit was fine. My child really loved the mac and cheese. The white dip is still delicious. Our server was cool until she got busy. Chuy's is owned by the same company that owns Olive Garden (Darden) and i can tell by the changes that they made.

    On my hunt for a better fajita experience we went to Chuy's. It's odd that we have lived in the…read morearea for almost 4 years and this was our first time there. When we arrived we were seated quickly and the staff was very nice. It wasn't very crowded and therefore it was a bit quiet. The chips and salsa were amazing! The salsa had the perfect amount of spice. The fajitas came out and I was like "now these are fajitas". It was super excited and couldn't wait to dig in. They tasted really good and the corn tortillas were so much better than that other location. I have to admit that I am still on the hunt for amazing fajitas, however these are definitely better than my last ones and I look forward to returning and trying out other menu items. The only downfall was the blinds. Yeah, I get it and they are just blinds, however they were just so dirty and it distracted from the whole experience. Cleanliness is important.
