Taco Palenque, a South Texas-based chain, has at least 10 locations in San Antonio, according to the company's website.
Laredo-based Tex-Mex chain Taco Palenque is streamlining its San Antonio operations by building a central kitchen to serve 10 locations across the city.
The $5 million project will convert an existing 58,000-square-foot warehouse at 8743 TX-151 in Bexar County into a commercial kitchen, according to state regulatory filings.

Work on the kitchen is scheduled to begin Aug. 1 and be finished later that month, records show.
