Taco Palenque Houston Reviews

I love this place! The food is great but yes it’s a bit pricey and the portions are getting smaller but the taste is everything! Hopefully they start being less stingy with the food. Also a man dropped his plate of food on the floor as he was sitting down and as courtesy they gave him a new plate free of charge. To me that’s a win shows how they treat their customers. Was a very nice gesture! That’s what got them 5 starts.

I’ve been coming here since they first opened up in undergrad. Even though it was pouring rain, they got my food out quick. The beef fajitas were awesome and so soft and juicy! This is my spot when I’m on this side of town. Keep up the great work!

I’m from Laredo. I grew up with taco palenque every other day. I enjoy coming here when I feel home sick. However the last couple times I have been given way smaller portions despite the increasing price. I miss being able to go 24/7 but I understand why it’s not open like that here. I’m sure if they did the same as the ones back home they’d be more popular. But giving smaller portions(more bland), for a more expensive price isn’t representing the taco palenque I know and love. And I’m sure that the Ochoa family would be disappointed to know how their houston restaurant is being run and would be disappointed about the bad rep this taco palenque is creating for the restaurant(bad rep being over priced small portioned blander food) when they worked so hard to open locations out of Laredo.

I came in the other night and the food was absolutely amazing! However, the service was what will make sure I come back. My server was beyond knowledgeable of the food and drinks.

Stopped one day with my husband we always like to try new places, since then been going for breakfast tacos. The kids like them too so that's a plus for us! Definitely returning customers!

Much worse than other taco Palenques I have tried throughout Texas.
I was excited to get a taste of my hometown when I found out there was a TP near near me, but was disappointed when I got my food.
Also, the drive through was really slow.
The green salsa was at least good, but not as spicy as at other TPs.

Incredible dining experience! The food was inventive without being unapproachable. We really felt like we were welcomed into the family and understood the purpose behind each dish. Worth the investment.

Liked the flour tortillas and the beef fajitas but the salsas could have been a bit better in my opinion. They were too watery and did not enough flavor or spice. The pico was mostly onions with a bit of tomato and sprinkled here and there with cilantro. Folks were friendly enough and service was prompt. Bathrooms are locked but the code to enter is on your receipt so make sure you keep it handy!

Always delicious! I love the soup of Fideo and their tacos never disappoint. I hope some day they open in the DFW area because there is no good Mexican food up here.

If your looking for a quick Tex-Mex fix, this is the place for you. Food is average as far as taste goes, they serve a green salsa and chip's that are awesome. Prices $ Breakfast tacos are good, Good customer service..

I am from Laredo (where TP originated) and would dine at their Houston location a couple times a month when I missed home. However, the food the last 3-4 times has been surprisingly bland and expensive. Every time we go through the drive thru they miss items or don’t put salsas, limes, and pico de Gallo (even after asking). Another big issue is that they serve whatever they want and not what you ordered.
Today I ordered enchiladas suizas, my typical go to. The enchiladas were so bitter and had a weird texture that I only ate a half of my plate.
I hope management take a closer look into how they can improve service. Look forward to giving them another chance and changing my review.
