  1. Thanks for posting this! Now I’m waiting for Peter Piper to open back up in the Austin metro.

    For those familiar, what is great about it? I’m excited to have one near me because I hear so much about it. What is your go-to breakfast and lunch?

    Oh that is much closer to me then the ones in cedar park.

  4. There’s only 26 Boston market locations left in the US.

    I do not share the taco palenque love shown here. I thought it was overpriced, overcooked and over seasoned. Drinks weren’t a great value. One humble opinion, not everyone will share mine.

    Happy people = great food. They are all happy people.

  7. stupidcleverian

    Yes yes yes yes yes you’ve made my day.

    I swear they set up ANYWHERE but austin proper

    There’s already one close by at 183 and Toll 45. Off 45 near Lake Creek Parkway behind Chick-Fil-A.

    Ate there twice last week.

    It’s alright. I go to the one by La frontera occasionally. The meat and salsas are really good and their tortillas as well but the sides are kinda lacking.

    Damn we still have a Boston Market?

    As a lover of both Boston Market and Taco Palenque… I am conflicted. I didn’t even know they were closing, I never got to say goodbye. 🥺

    TP is overrated. Every time I have been I have been served sloppy, poor quality meat. Better options.

    There goes my New Year’s resolution.

    The best and only reason to go there are the torched jalapenos on the salsa bar. Those are awesome and free!

    The green sauce is plenty good, too.

    I love Boston Market and was sad when I went to this location months back and it was obviously shut down. I drove across town countless times over the years to eat there. Bummed.

    Boston Market was good when I first moved to Austin around 2012. I went to this location last year, and I could tell it was on its last legs. Dirty. Just not well taken care of. The food was ok, but def not like I remember years ago.

    Taco Palenque is trash. Overpriced trash at that.

    Oh man, my RGV-native girlfriend is gonna fucking flip. This will be, by far, the closest to us!

  20. petedaheat87

    Taco Palenque is awesome. Can’t wait to go.

  21. Ohmytripodtheory

    I’ve been going to the 620 location since it opened. So nice to have a fast Mexican option that’s actually good. This is great.

    I ate there as a kid. Was surprised to see it here on my way somewhere. Not surprised that its going away 😕

    I feel like the ones saying Taco Palenque is trash aren’t getting the nostalgia thing. If you’ve eaten it in Laredo it’s much better and it’s just exciting to have one here. We used to go to Laredo and across the border a lot as a kid because it’s only 3 hours from Austin. TP used to have a whole pitcher of margaritas for 99 cents if you can believe that. It is exciting to see one in Austin proper even though I know from experience the San Marcos and Cedar Park locations aren’t as good. But I’m sure Laredo peeps will be excited to know there’s a TP here now

    It’s literally a step above Taco Cabana and we have mountains of great mom n pop taco trailers all over the place…that said, in a pinch I’d much rather pull into the drive through at border-region founded Taco Palenque and enjoy their pirata and salsa tatemada and other fast food versions of the flavors of Northern Mexico and South Texas any old time over getting a national fast food chain combo meal or whatever. I’m super happy to see this on Braker and 183.
