    You can never go wrong when you come to this place. I brought my sisters here from out of town and they loved it. The staff was nice and the atmosphere was cool. In the back by the bar they were playing bingo. I said next time I would play. We ordered guacamole, chips and salsa. I love how the salsa comes to the table warm. We also ordered chicken flautas, half order of asada nachos, asada taco plate. We ordered some cilantro lime rice and charro beans. The food was good and the meat was seasoned to perfection. This is one of my favorite places

    Combo Taco Plate

    This is my first time here and it's amazing! I got the three Taco combo plate which included two barbacoa tacos and one al pastor taco and rice and beans. And speaking of the rice, the rice was so great! You can tell that they season the water very well for that rice, and the beans had a nice flavor to them that wasn't overpowering. You have got to come here!!!!

    I had a pretty good experience here overall. The aguas frescas were amazing -- I got the watermelon and it was super refreshing and flavorful. For the taco plate, I ordered two tacos al pastor and one cheese and chorizo taco. The al pastor was very good, though it would have been even better if the pineapple had been a bit riper. The cheese and chorizo taco was tasty and satisfying. The charro beans were fire and the cilantro lime rice was also really good. They have a really nice patio, which made it a great place to hang out, and the drinks are very reasonably priced. The only miss for me was the elote -- it had way too much cheese and the corn wasn't very sweet, so it just didn't hit the mark. Overall, I'd definitely come back, just would order something different next time.

    Quick service and not super busy when we went. Food was good overall. Rice had nice flavor as well as the tacos. Elote was a bit heavy on the cotija cheese. Ambiance was rustic and open.

    The ultimate burrito!

    For years, I've been searching for great birria tacos. I've had great in Abilene one time, the rest have been ok or disappointing. One of my DFW buddies reviewed El Taco H in Denton and bragged how good it was. Road trip time! Mike and I got there in time for a late lunch. Parking downtown can be a little tough, but we found a spot. I ordered the birria plate and Mike ordered a monster burrito. A quick picture and then it's time to eat. OMG! I have found my perfect birria tacos! They are crispy, and gooey, and everything birria tacos should be! The consume just added to the deliciousness! I managed to down two of them, everything else was leftovers. Mike managed to eat half of his monster burrito, said it was really good. More leftovers. I now have two reasons to go to Denton, Texas. My favorite Thai restaurant, and my favorite birria tacos!

    Went mid afternoon on a Saturday. Parking was a little tricky but usually is in Denton. Two ladies on the counter were helpful and very nice. We ordered taco plates. They come with three each along with cilantro lime rice and charro beans. Great street tacos the birria and Al pastor were awesome. The rice and beans were very good. Love the sauce bar in the back. Guac was also very good and the chips are seasoned very nice. Place is clean and well kept.

    I came here for lunch recently and was very pleased. I had ordered ahead and my order was ready in the 8 minutes it took me to drive here. As soon as I walked in I was greeted. I had to order in person since I forgot to order a taco when I did it online. The cashier was very nice and my order was ready in less than 5 minutes. The service was really good. They have a large salsa bar that has water, ice, limes, jalapenos, and, of course, various salsas. I ordered the carne asada taco, the al pastor, and quesabirria. I was so hungry I didn't get to take any pics of all the tacos. The tacos were excellent. Now, they are small, as they are street tacos, but the flavor is potent in a good way as they're all well seasoned. The carne asada steak was grilled perfectly and had great flavor, and it was tender; it tasted great! The al pastor taco was also very good it was very tender, not dried out and tender and had a perfect pastor flavor. I like that they garnished it with diced pineapples. The quesabirria was very delicious, the meat was very tender and flavorful, and the cheese was just as delicious. The tacos are made of corn, and the tortillas were very high quality. I'll definitely be back! I

    I've been struggling to find good tacos after moving here, but this place hit the spot! I appreciated how the birria wasn't overly greasy. Love how they have a salsa bar in the back - it was fun to experiment and see which salsa paired best with the tacos. Service was fast, and there's plenty of seating inside to enjoy your food!

    Flavor town is back in Denton! Located just off the square, El Taco H is dishing out supreme tacos with excellent flavors. I recently happened to stop by on Taco Tuesday and much to my surprise, El Taco H exceeded my expectations. Given Denton isn't known for its establishments, El Taco H is a reliable option for Taco Tuesday specials. Along with Taco Tuesday specials, happy hour is thing. The most unique thing about the restaurant outside of the flavor packed Al-Pastor taco, has to be their extensive selection of salsa. El Taco H won't disappoint, definitely worth a try if you're in the Denton area.

    Food and service were good. Didn't have to wait long for the food to arrive, though it was weird that that appetizer came after the tacos. We ordered: Birria taco, lengua, chorizo/queso? (I think) and another one with pineapple. Overall, I enjoyed the birria and the chorizo one. Couldn't try the one with pineapple (as I'm allergic). The lengua was okay, a bit dry imo There's a sauce bar in the back as well. Good variety there, though personally, I wish there was a spicer sauce (Haberno wasn't spicy) Will be back if I'm in the area!

    Fast food! Clean establishment and amazing queso! Will return just for the agua alone!

    Very cool ambiance, lots of neat paintings on the wall and decor that feels like you're being transported to Mexico City. Everything was very clean and the staff was welcoming as soon as we walked in. There is a whole bar with many different hot sauces at all different heat levels along with all the toppings if you want extra, including limes cilantro and onions. All the food we ordered came out quick and tasted phenomenal! The chips were seasoned a d the salsa was steaming hot and packed with flavor. One of the best salsa's I've ever had that perfectly balanced heat and flavor. The Suadero taco could have been a bit more tender but still was very delicious. All the tacos were dripping with juices and VERY generously piled up with meat and toppings. The margaritas were flavorful and not too sweet like a lot of places tend to be. We will make this a new staple when we're looking for street tacos. It felt very authentic and tasted incredible

    The food is overpriced. The asada tacos had more fat than meat and it also had bones in it, and the horchata was mid at best.

    $8 for a one tortilla folded over quesadilla or a $15 burrito. $4 per street taco. Pricing is crazy.

    Could this place accommodate a group of 50-70 outdoor? It would be for a rehearsal dinner associated with a wedding.

    I've seen them accommodate large groups, but you should give them a call.

Everything we ordered was delicious. The guacamole tasted super fresh, the queso was flavorful and came in a generous portion, and the salsa had just the right amount of kick without being too spicy. The only small hiccup was the chips situation--they give you big portions of guac, queso, and salsa, but the chips come in a tiny bowl. (Literally 10 chips) very sad for 6 people to fight over so little of chips. Not a huge deal, just a bit surprising. We also tried the margaritas--they had great flavor, though they tasted absent of tequila. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would definitely go back...maybe next time we bring our own chips! :)

    If I could give La Fondita Mexican Restaurant six stars, I would legally change the rating system…read morejust to make it happen. Let me set the scene: I walked in expecting a casual meal and maybe a decent taco. What I got instead was a borderline spiritual awakening wrapped in foil and served with rice and beans. First of all -- the giant piña colada. When they say giant, they are not messing around. This thing arrived like it had its own gravitational pull. I'm pretty sure I saw a small family of tourists orbiting it. One sip and I was transported to a beach that doesn't even exist on any map -- coconutty, icy perfection with just enough kick to make me briefly consider texting my boss that I've moved to an island and won't be returning. Then came the beans. Listen carefully: I don't throw this word around lightly -- perfect. These beans were so good I genuinely paused mid-bite and just stared into the middle distance reevaluating my entire life. Creamy, rich, seasoned like someone's abuela whispered ancient secrets into the pot. I would trust these beans with my taxes, my passwords, and honestly my emotional well-being. And the corn tortillas... dear lord, the corn tortillas. I have had tortillas in many places, including at my own abuela's table -- and saying this feels like confessing a sin -- but these might be the best I've ever had besides abuela's. Warm, soft, slightly charred in all the right places, like they were handmade by someone who has been perfecting this craft since before I was born and possibly before electricity was invented. If I could build a house out of these tortillas, I would. I would live there. Happily. And then--just when I thought things couldn't escalate further--the huevos rancheros arrived. Eggs cooked to that perfect sweet spot where the yolk still has a little rebellion left in it, laid over a bed of everything that matters, all tied together with a sauce that refuses to be anything less than unforgettable. It's the kind of breakfast that makes you question why you ever settle for anything less in life. Comforting, bold, and somehow both rustic and wildly impressive at the same time. Everything else on the plate? Outstanding. Rice that actually deserves to be eaten and not just politely ignored. Salsa that sneaks up on you like, "oh this is nice--OH okay there it is." Service? Friendly, fast, and somehow emotionally supportive. Atmosphere? The kind of place where you immediately feel like a regular even if it's your first time. Final verdict: If you are anywhere within a 50-mile radius of Denton and you are not eating at La Fondita Mexican Restaurant, you are making a series of deeply questionable life choices. I came in hungry. I left changed.
