Taco Palenque

We had tacos and a bowl with chicken. Meals came out quickly and service was friendly. The taco meat was seasoned and cooked well, and the beans were fantastic in the bowl. The best thing, though, was the huge salsa and condiment bar. Several kinds of salsa, two kinds of salads, pickled onions, grilled serranos and jalapenos, and more. The salsas that looked spicy actually were!

I ordered two breakfast tacos and both were good. They also had a special on breakfast tacos for only $ 0.99! The seating area has two big screen TVs and access to a full salsa bar.

I had higher hopes for Taco Palenque. I ordered the fajitas and was not given any tortillas. So I just ate the steak plain. The meat was really good! The rice, was not, and I refused to try the beans. Their jamaica, was not that great either. It was good, but tasted a little off. The tres leches was decent, not exactly what I expected tho. It was more sweet and less moist than what I am used to having.

Taco Palenque is a great Mexican restaurant it’s open 24hours which is awesome. I usually get the Sirloin Taco it’s delicious. What’s great its they have a stand where you can get all types of salsas and veggies and also unlimited tortillas and chips. The weslaco one is kind of small compared to the McAllen one. Also the service is good.

I was a little skeptical at first thinking why would I want to get some Tex-​Mex when I can get some good real Mexican food? I was glad I gave this place a try. During their first opening week, everyday the parking lot was packed, especially during lunch and dinner time, to the point that they had to have someone to direct the traffic. If the locals like this place this much, it gotta be good right?
We decided to stop there for brunch one day. First of, I was excited to see the salsa bar that has a huge variety of different salsas, freshly shredded cabbage, cucumber, pico de gallo, grilled jalapenos, all you can eat chips, the list goes on. That right there was enough to keep me coming back. Next was the fact that they have the Taco Palenque app! They have an app!!! Not only that, if you download the app, automatically, you’ll get $ 5 credit after registering that you can use toward your first purchase, and $ 1 credit for every $ 20 you spend after that. Even tho we were not able to use the app our first time due to some problem with their system, I was happy cuz we ended up getting 2 free meals!
I have had their steak fajitas and breakfast tacos, everything was great with excellent flavor. I will definitely come back to try other items on the menu.
