Don Pancho had a vision to create a fast casual Mexican restaurant that would provide true Mexican flavor. This is how the Palenque chain was born. Originally from Sinaloa, Mexico and now a U.S. citizen, Don Pancho originally founded El Pollo Loco© which was a success that led him to open his first Taco Palenque® back in 1987 in Laredo, Texas. Taco Palenque® is mainly known for its authentic Mexican tacos.
It has become the ultimate place to spend time with family and friends while enjoying a meal. In fact, positive word of mouth has had a major impact on our satisfied customers. There are several Taco Palenque® locations operating throughout the south region of Texas and are continuing to grow.
Informal Mexican restaurant serving basic dishes such as quesadillas & breakfast tacos. Based on 441 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.1 stars. Price $$

It is 9:27am and the website says this location opens at 9am, but when I got to the counter the lady said they open at 10am. So please do not miss inform the customers. And get your informations correctly.

The employees need to be more friendly, I understand it’s a busy place but having an attitude and not being friendly ain’t going to fix it.

Went on Saturday December 24th and passed by and asked the lady what time they open. She said 10, went back a little after 10 and then told me 1030. I asked, u told me 10 earlier and with attitude she said 1030. She was very rude. Will never go back again. I would’ve rated 0 starts but it didn’t let me.

I agree with some of the comments regarding the service here and am not Spanish speaking so cashier seems to not understand English very well. Since I live in the valley I am somewhat used to that. The food is good and priced right — I order the chicken fahita tacos and guacamole every time. Seating is limited and they do not keep up with washing the tables off between guests if they are really busy.

Some of the best tacos in the Valley! My two favorite places for tacos are Taqueria Rios and Palenque, however they each have their own style – so it just depends what type of tacos I feel like having.
