Erik RowleyJuly 27, 2016Another classy restaurant/bar with a Tex-Mex theme. Some of the best margaritas I've ever had, ask the bartender for the "perfect margarita" for your senorita. Trust me on this.
Zuly MoralesJune 4, 2018If you’re undecided on the menu, you HAVE to order the fish tacos. They’re amazing! And they pair great with pretty much any drink from the bar.
Eddie LorenzoJanuary 8, 2022The food is amazing but not any Mexican food speak of. Great service as well. Shrimp albondigas are great appetizer.- Get one of everything. This place mirrors those restaurants that are often found in civilized cities. Fish tacos are my favorite but so is everything else!
El CapatazAugust 5, 2013We've published a list of suggestions for allergies that's also on our website under Menu, then the tab that says Allergen Information. Sorry for the delay but we hope its helpful! Thanks!- melissa laneNovember 14, 2014Excellent fish tacos. 3 hour Prime Rib. Tuna salad...Seriously good food and atmosphere.
- Love this place. Beware when sitting on the patio. You'll get an occasional stench of sewer that'll hit you on and off.
Gus DiazApril 23, 2014From out of town. Not sure what the female bartenders name is but ready to leave after our first round... If you're having a crapy day or have a crapy attitude don't pass it on to your customers..- Such a lovely place!! It's unfortunate that staff aren't well-versed in gluten-free options. I was told only gluten-free option was the wings and so we left :(
- El CapatazSeptember 2, 2013Selina thanks for the kudos and we think we found the source of the smell. Should be fixed by Tuesday! Thanks!
Kris NNovember 10, 2011Order the "chocolate cookie " martini... its freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))))))
Angel LedezmaAugust 19, 2012The food is descent, but the bartenders are inexperienced. I would recommend anything but a cocktail with your food.
Try the "Taquitos Mar de Cortez" .... Very good.
Bianca LopezJune 28, 2013They told us when we walked through the door we could sit outside and put our names on the waitlist for a table inside. All of a sudden, we are on a 45 min wait. Will not come back.
Marco Areizaga GilDecember 3, 2017Buen ambiente, mesas afuera, costoso pero muy bueno, el queso borracho muy bueno, la hamburguesa de Sirlone deliciosa, buenas margaritas y mezcal!!
Patty BarretoJune 14, 2018La comida muy rica pero muy mal servicio, la hostess con mala actitud y el mesero nunca tomaba las órdenes. A las 11 cierran y dejan de tomar pedidos a las 10:30pm

"Pricey, but worth it! The food is excellent and the service is superb. Try the "chicharrones de ribeye." Perfectly seasoned and grilled ribeye, sliced into bite-sized chunks and deep-fried. Yummy..."

"Caldo de Res is amazing! Reminds me of my grandmother's soup."
Cecilia Castaneda - 7.6
"Taco Palenque is the pride of South Texas! There is no bad item on the menu. The Pirata, a taco with fajita, cheese and refried beans, is highly recommended. Some of the best fajita you will ever eat!"
