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 4 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.4 stars. Price $$

The service was great. I had a chicken taco. I paid close to $5 for one taco alittle pricy. But overall it was worth it because it was delicious

Mother’s Day 2023. Fajitas for 2 were delicious. I asked for a toasted flour tortilla and went well with the combination of food; rice, beans, onions, aguacate and jalapeño. Well worth the wait. As always, staff very attentive. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Houston Taco Palenque was awesome! Great food, but for being almost empty, they took so long to serve the food. And at this location, you get a vibrating disc to let you know when to go pick up your food, unlike the Macallen location you have a seat with a number and they take your food to the table. The 4 stars for service is for the time it took for them to prepare the order.

Everybody loves Taco P. Went here after a movie since it was the only thing open after 10pm. Food was fresh, like still sizzling fresh. We finished up right before a big rush. The Only issue with this location is the parking situation. It’s horrible.

I had the taquitos. LOVED THEM. The pickled onions were a great addition. And the $8 margaritas. Only needed one. Also as a heads up its not the cheap sugary margarita mix. They were made well
