Ordered #barbacoa to take home to the family. Trie Ordered #barbacoa to take home to the family. Tried @taco.palenque and @laspalapasrestaurants (#sanantonio) Winner is Las Palapas, at least for this order. The one from Taco Palenque was extremely greasy. Hella greasy! Maybe it was a bad barbacoa day for them? I don’t know. I’ll give them one more chance, so we’ll see next visit.
