Taco Palenque University Dr - Edinburg

It was a late dinner, but they took quite a while to get our food ready. I guess they were busy.

Had to go ask for my meal took a long time for chorizo and beans

Ordered the two pirata Jr combo. This was what it looked like. Thought maybe they accidently put too little of the meat in my taco, so I brought it up to one of the employees, and I guess the manager heard and said that there was no mistake. The pirata Jr taco only has 1 oz of meat. So yeah... $15 meal comes with 2 oz of meat, carrots beans and a drink. Just FYI.

Food is delicious here. Whenever I want to grab some Mexican food, Taco Palenque is one of my go to spots. One thing I have to admit is be sure to check your order during busy hours cause it does get packed and hectic and you could end up with missing items or the wrong order.Vegetarian options: Impossible burrito and impossible crunchy tacos are vegan if you ask for no cheese. Chips. White rice and black bean tacos.The only salsas I know that are vegan are the salsa roja, pico de gallo, and tomatillo. The rest are vegetarian.

It had been a while since I went to Taco Palenque. They have made some improvements and I 'm really glad I went. They offer delicious authentic Mexican as well as Texican food: the street tacos are served on the traditional two small corn tortillas. They also have full sized tacos, which are well stacked, burritos, quesadillas, parrilladas, breakfast tacos, enchiladas (entomatadas, mole, green red, suizas, you name it), tostadas, plates, and more.Place your order, fast food style, take your number and set it on your table (they 'll bring your order to you), and as they prepare your meal you can get your drink, and some chips and salsa from the salsa bar. The chips are Mexican style tortilla chips, not the sad paper-thin American kind! The salsas include a molcajete style, fresh Pico de Gallo, red, green, jalapeños toreados, onions, and cabbage slaw garnish for your tacos.I got the 2 Matamoros taco meal with a side of fideo soup and a drink. The Matamoros tacos were made with two full sized corn tortillas, and stuffed so well I divided them up and made four nice sized tacos out of them adding some Pico de Gallo, salsa and garnishes from the wonderful salsa bar. They were generous with the meat and the avocado, less so with the cheese. It was wonderful, but I would have enjoyed more balance between the avocado and the cheese.The fideo soup was also delicious, though I didn 't see the lime, which would have added a lot.The dining room is nice (fast food type, and informal). There is an indoor children 's play place.Parking is ample and well lit. Handicapped spaces are available.I did not see the restrooms. What I did see was clean and well run. The food was served hot, freshly made, and in good time. The prices are competitive. I will definitely go again.I 'd like to try the tacos al pastor. They offer pineapple on their tacos al pastor, which is a plus for me. Does anyone know if they use an actual vertical spit (trompo)? I did not see one.Vegetarian options: It 's not at all a good option for vegetarians. Have you ever heard of a vegetarian Mexican restaurant? If so, it probably wasn 't Mexican.Parking: Plenty of parking. Handicapped spaces are at the front.Kid-friendliness: Children 's play place indoors. You can choose a table where you can monitor your children.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible
