Taco Palenque is located at 307 Military in Dodge City, KS., snuggled behind the difficult-to-miss Lucky Liquor on Military and Ave B.
Here's a photo of the chips and salsa-very hot!
Here's a photo of the four tacos I ordered (four different types).
Taco Palenque was a bit more of an adventure than some of the other places we've been. The parking lot was replete with signs of previous Mexican eateries that had come before Palenque...and The Scotsman had already sworn that today would be his first day to try out tongue tacos! Then, when we arrived, the waitress had to get someone who spoke a little English. Soon we received our customary chips and (flaming hot) salsa...and ten minutes (and many burned taste buds) later, our waitress brought in a case of bottled water and my amigos got their water.
The inside decor was pleasant with a lot of yellow splashed everywhere. Mexican soap operas were playing from a high-mounted t.v. when we went in, which was a nice touch. When we paid, the cashier did not have change for a $20, which I found highly unusual.

The Scotsman had tacos including tongue!
Tacos: 3 for the tongue, 4 for that marinated pork
Chips and Salsa: 4 (good but way too hot!)
The Scotsman came to play and showed us that he could down tongue tacos no problem. In fact, he seemed a little disappointed-said they were kind of uneventful.
I had four different tacos (steak, tongue, marinated pork, and something I can't recall). I washed it all down with an apple-flavored Mexican soda in a glass bottle.

Tacos: 3 overall
Chips and Salsa: 4 (hot like I like it!)
Two of my tacos were pretty good (tongue and marinated pork), one was okay, and the steak one was not good at all (slimy and greasy tasting).
Overall Tacotourtuesday gang would recommend this joint-with one dissenting voice (mine!). I liked the atmosphere but felt like the food wasn't as good as other places we'd been to.
