Taco Palenque Harlingen

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review Stopped at the Taco Palenque on 1102 S Expressway 83 in Harlingen, TX, and had excellent service from Emma at the counter. When I mentioned the military discount, she immediately went to her manager and made sure it was applied. She was professional, friendly, and genuinely thoughtful. Emma really elevated the whole experience. Great food, great staff — and Emma stands out.

Taco Palenque is always good, but this particular location was great. The staff was all so sweet, full of smiles. I found this to be so wonderful considering it was Christmas day and they were working with such positive attitudes. Food is always fresh and delicious...one thing though and this goes for all the Taco Palenques...they need to cook the tortillas a bit more. That is my only complaint.

Very good food. Always fresh and fast service. Plenty of room in the dining room. No wait time to be seated.

Got the Platter for 2 and I have to say, the Beef Fajita was super tender, the Corn Tortillas were made fresh ans super soft and flavorful. The Beans were amazing and the Salsa was on point, not to mention the grilled onions for the tacos. The only minor detail was that the Rice was a bit overcooked and moochy.

Salsa/condiment bar was well stocked. Chips were hot and crisp. Overall food is good, however the rice was overcooked. The rest of the entree was very good. Staff are constantly cleaning tables and tidying up. Good food at this location.
