“Hello PALACIOS TEXAS! I seen this restaurant on The Daytripper with Chet Garner and I’m looking forward to it so far I’m gonna give you five stars because I’m excited to go down there and visit. I don’t know when but it’s saved on my list on Google I’ve marked it down and I hear a lot of people saying that the menus have changed & the service hours have changed. I hope I’m not disappointed when I go down there. I’m excited! I’m sure the service will be great!! I don’t know what it taste like before or anything, but hopefully I’ll have a good experience so hopefully the owners are ready to give the locals a chance to comeback and experience a better visit AND for future tourist. Their hours have changed as reviewers say, so I hope I make it in when they are open so I can check it out. I hope they’ve broadened their hours and days of service. The Point, PALACIOS here I come! UPDATE: I just called right now a few minutes after I made this review and only because I kept reading reviews and some people mention that they don’t serve Vietnamese food well I called and they don’t serve Vietnamese food anymore just Tex-Mex and country food so I’m kind of bummed about it but if I do visit Palacios’s, I will definitely get this place to try. I am always up for supporting small local businesses. Happy eating and happy travels!!!”

“Great customer service. Keep in mind it's a small town; new management, also we're living in a financially difficult times. We're all just trying to figure it out. On the bench here enjoying my cigarette waiting on lunch.”
