Taco District Peekskill NY | Our Story

Guatemalan Roots, Hudson Valley Table

Taco District began with a family, a heritage, and a belief that Peekskill deserved something extraordinary. Hever and Dina Palacios built it from scratch, pouring their Guatemalan roots into every recipe and every corner of the restaurant. Growing up, food was more than a meal. It was how family came together, how stories were shared, and how traditions were passed down. That same spirit lives inside Taco District today. Every dish is made with authentic Latin recipes, real ingredients, and the kind of care that only comes from cooking with heart. But Taco District is about more than just the food. From the warm dining room to the rooftop with views of the Hudson Valley, this is a place built for good times. Whether you are catching up with old friends, celebrating with family, or just enjoying a night out, we want you to feel at home the moment you walk in. What started as a dream for the Palacios family has become Peekskill's go-to spot for authentic Latin cuisine and unforgettable moments. We are so grateful to this community for making Taco District what it is today, and we cannot wait to welcome you to our table.
