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

The super chicken breast fajitas quesadilla, and the chicken breast fajaitas burrito alone with the 1 plate chicken breast fajitas was cooked to perfection. I added cucumber and the cabbage slaw to my food with a squeeze of lime to bring it all together. The pickled radish was a great option, all and all I really enjoyed it. My only ask is add when something says fajita I need s

This chain is big in my hometown of Mcallen, I’m so happy they’re branching into Austin. Wonderful fajitas and tacos. Love the salsa/condiments bar. Everything here tastes like home.

I can’t enough of this place. The ground beef tacos are heavenly. They add just a bit of potato and they have a flavor that’s very unique. There’s a little condiments bar with all the goodies to put on your taco plus free homemade corn chips….YUM! The prices are extremely reasonable, the service is super friendly and the dining area is fresh and always clean. If you live in the area, make time to check this place out. You definitely won’t be disappointed

I don’t know why we’ve waited so long to try this place!?!? So delicious it’s a little upscale Taco Cabana if you ask me! Hubs and I both wanted the Panchos(beef fajita nachos) boy did we get what we paid for! Start with one to share! They have a tiny chips and salsa bar, The chips and green salsa I also ordered a small fideo that we shared and that was yummy too! I think we paid $34-$40 for two. They are NOT stingy with their meat!!! We will be back! Now if only I knew how to say the name!

I was so excited to see this location open in Cedar Park! I love the one in Round Rock and now it’s in our backyard. Fortunately the quality is consistent. The meat and tortillas are excellent and the chips, salsa, side bar is on point! This place is bussin for sure. We will be back frequently. Te amor Taco Palenque

Ordered the crispy taco ground beef combo. Shells did not fall apart at all. Ground beef was pretty salty and I like salt. I’ll def order them with sour cream next time. The rice and beans were great.

Great fast food with a drive thru til 1am. Ordered the sirloin tacos to go, the staff was so nice and let me try a sample of the Fideuà soup too. The free chips and salsa bar was great too, with four salsas, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeños, pickled onions, and marinated whole jalapeños.

Delicious fast food Mexican food in CP. Enjoyed the fajita plate. We also got tacos Al pastor, matamoros, carne guisada, and a couple of other tacos. The rice pudding was good. The tree leches was eh. The price for 6 tacos, a fajita plate, 2 desserts and 3 bottles of water plus 20% tip was $78. Enough food for 4 people.
