Shared parking lot with other stores, plenty of parking. Plenty of tables and staff.Greeted right away and seated. Drink orders taken right after chips and salsa arrived.Food arrived with in 7-10 mins. All hot and fresh.I ordered Flautas and I love flautas and this place hand rolls them, not frozen pre made crap like other places sell.Drinks and chips refilled often and waitstaff checked on us too.Great service and the food was excellent. Will be back

The food the margs it's all good - I have never had bad anything from this place- try it all but the Mango Margs are to die for - and their steak fajita is seriously one of the best!

My best friend brought me here because it is one of her favorite places to go. I can tell you that afterwards I completely understand why! The mango margarita was probably one of the best I have had! The queso had good flavor and the chips where fresh and you could tell they were made in house! I had the fajita tacos which were good and had great flavor! I thought however that they were on special and once the bill came found out that they were not... the service was mediocre but the food and drink was awesome! I will definitely be back!

Came here for the very first time on 1/14/22 at 5:30PM and it was extremely packed, which was a signal that this place had to be good! We moved from the Austin area and we had Taco Palenque up the street from our home so we wanted to see if this place was similar. By the way, Taco Palenque was AMAZING! So this review is in comparison to TP. Plenty of seating options (inside, patio, bar area) and pretty spacious. The service was also prompt, which is always good, especially during this time with staff shortages. No wait to be seated either, it was immediate as soon as we walked in.We received chips and salsa immediately upon being seated, which their salsa comes warm (LOVE warm salsa). We ordered the taco plate, tostadas and beef fajita quesadillas. We wanted to try tacos first since it was our first time and we love tacos! Their tacos were very fulfilling and they stuff them with a lot of meat. The shell is also homemade (just like Taco Palenque). Pretty good tacos but I've had some quite better. I think the meat was just different.The tostadas were also really good, I got mine without beans. I'm a real big fan of Taco Casa's tostadas so I was comparing them to those; and I think Taco Casa's are better, but I would def get the tostadas from here again. My partner got the beef fajita quesadillas and they were BOMB - we both liked them better than the tacos and tostadas. My partner is really picky when it comes to quesadillas and has had some not so good ones, and El Palenque's were on top of the list. Overall pretty good place, didn't get any drinks (might get those next time). I would have to say that Taco Palenque does taste better! I would give them a 7/10.

My truck was broke In too while I was having lunch the waiter was looking toward my vehicle the whole time it was getting broke In too and he was like a look out I'm assuming anyway according to Deputy this happens all the time here at this restaurant so unless you want to get some mediocre TexMex food I wouldn't even waste time at this place

I used to dine here years ago with family. It's been over 10 years since I've been back. My special education team at one of the elementary schools I provide services to chose this location for a going away party for one of my favorite teachers.Plenty of open parking but can get busy at the restaurant. Academy is in the same lot.We were seated fairly quickly around 4 pm on a Thursday afternoon. The place wasn't packed. I'm impressed that they were able to get food and drinks out for 12 people in a timely manner. FYI, they don't make mojitos, just margs. It wasn't what I was craving, so I stuck with water. I know, boring.Chips & salsa: Chips are good. Salsa is too runny and lacks acidity.Tampiquena: I liked the cheese enchilada. You can tell it's real cheese and melted so nicely like queso. The refried beans are seasoned and flavored well. The rice didn't have much flavor. The beef skirt steak was a little overcooked that it wasn't tender enough to roll in the tortilla. I cut them into strips. The meat itself tasted grilled but wasn't salted or anything. The corn tortillas were a good size and held up well. It didn't fall apart when stuffed with the fixins.Flan: Made similar to the Filipino flan, which is supposed to be smooth like custard but hold its form and not as thin as creme brulee. This one was a little grainy, which means the eggs in it were overcooked. Good caramelized sugar flavor though.I ordered beef fajitas for 2 to take home to my parents. They handed the knotted bag to me. I asked about the flan, and the waiter said it was packed in the bag. I was going to eat that at the restaurant. I got to my parents house to unpack the bag and noticed that they forgot the rice and beans. They only packed flour tortillas. What a shame.
