Taco Palenque is one of the most popular Mexican cuisine restaurants in South Texas. Since it was founded back in 1987, Taco Palenque has established itself as the ultimate go-to place for when those Mexican food cravings kick in.

So far, so good. We know what’s gonna win you over, though – breakfast tacos! Imagine every possible breakfast combination, served in delicious freshly made flour (or corn) tortillas. Because what’s better than starting your day with a potato and egg taco or a bean and chorizo taco taco?

And, if you just want to try a little bit of everything, get the Taco Palenque’s special combo plates, combining tacos (or quesadillas), a Mexican noodle soup, and a fresh drink to quench your thirst.
