I've seen a lot of people love this place on the local FB group, so expectations were high. I was a bit disappointed with the nopales and the grease in my husband's quesadilla. If i were honest, there could have been more lengua in my tacos. The burrito and street tacos are good. The fajita beef quesadilla was VERY greasy! Hot salsa is indeed hot. Very good. The nopales are chopped with oregano....that was surprising. Not a fan. The meat is semi-reasonably priced. Not inexpensive like i hoped. Not competative with Winco. Winco is 1/2 the price for chicken breast. read more

Probably the best tacos I've had -- ever!! Seriously, Laguna in Denton is incredible. The food is packed with flavor, literally, everything tastes fresh and perfectly seasoned, from the meats to the toppings. You can tell they put real care into every dish. I've only been on Saturdays so far. One visit was pretty busy, but the service was still fast and efficient. The other time, it was much quieter, and we were served almost immediately. Either way, the staff has been consistently friendly and the experience smooth. The prices are also very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. Whether you're in a rush or planning to sit and savor your meal, Laguna hits the mark. I'm already looking forward to going back! read more

We just moved to Aubrey and were so happy we found this place on our way home from Carrollton. We usually go to Tapatia in Carrollton so this is definitely our go to now. We purchased the fajitas- chicken & beef & tablitas to throw on the grill. They were delish!! The beans were great but the rice lacks flavor. Their "house" salsa is AMAZE-ing!!! Last week we order to go since we had some family coming over and didn't feel like cooking and ordered the chicken & beef fajita and barbacoa. It was all great, the barbacoa wasn't too greasy at all. Again the beans were great but rice was flavorless. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Ordered 1 doz pork tamales and they turned out great with good taste.Highly recommend.

There are a number of other meat markets in the area but this one fits very well. They have a large variety of different marinated meats and chicken. So far I've mostly been getting their marinated fajita beef which is the best I've had in the area. Good seasoning and quality meat. They have a good variety of other things like produce and Mexican products like sour cream, candy, desserts and all kinds of other assortments. Their poblano peppers are awesome and large unlike what you will find in the big grocery stores in our area. I like that they also have a good sized dining area and quite an extensive menu. So far I've only had their Quesabirria tacos which I thought was quite good. The meat was tender and had good flavor. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite spots for speciality food that I like. read more

SUMMARY: OMG I love this place and the family who runs it. Kindest owner and the family members and staff are GOLD. Food is great too! BACKGROUND: I thought there wasn't a grocery store or mini market conveniently on the way from my work to home, but one day I decided to see what La Laguna was all about and been patronizing ever since. LA LAGUNA In the classic sense, LL is your traditional mini market complete with a small selection of produce (fresh and refrigerated), tortillas including freshly made ones they keep steamy in a cooler, but LL is also a carniceria, and a restaurant too. They also have a decent beer selection as well. FOOD I first visited because I wanted to just check it out but was pleasantly surprised that they were a restaurant too. We've tried their tacos, tamales, carne de res (soup), bought their fresh corn tortillas, etc. I'd say some things are definitely better than others like their birria tacos are pretty good, but the tamales we ate were a bit too dry for us. We really liked their carne de res soup and their large soup fed us well for two days when we had a light snow storm in Feb 2022. I also bought a Mexican Ribeye steak from their meat case. The owner gave me a pretty good thick slide and we pan fried it (don't have a bbq just yet!) and had a pretty good meal. RETURN VISIT? We are pretty lucky to have a great little mini-market / meat shop / restaurant / fast casual dining place so close to our home! read more

La Laguna Meat Market & Kitchen - Tacos, fajita, and quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Denton, Texas

We tried this place today, we ordered 2 Birria plates, an asada plate, and a Barbacoa taco. The Birria consume has a good flavor but the meat in the taco was bland and chewy, not tender. The barbacoa was tough and even after adding salt was lacking flavor I dipped it in the consume. Overall I would give a 3. I expected fresh, tender meat if nothing else since the meat market is right there. Made me wonder if I'm eating meat that has been reheated several times as the meats that should be tender was tough or chewy. The refried beans was bland and the rice was as well with a scorched taste. If the Asada was fresh it would have been good the meat had a good flavor it was just tough. read more

Delicioso! First time here! order the pork tamales I think they are sold year round, they are huge and flavorful. Order the quesabirria tacos! Super delicious! The pastor and shrimp tacos are super good. The frijoles are super yummy too! Plenty of seating and fast service during lunch rush! Give them a try! read more

I have a weekly appointment in the area and was excited when they started the remodel. I had been waiting for them to finish, but thought the pandemic would delay their opening, so I was surprised to find they had already been open for two weeks on my first visit. That's risky for a small business, so props to them. I've been three times so far and I have to say that the owner is sooo nice; he even recognized me on my second visit and seemed genuinely happy to have customers. The other two employees I have come across were polite and they prepare the food fairly quickly. They have a small meat market, counter service (at least for now) restaurant and limited grocery section. Half the store is currently blocked off and looks to be for eventual dine in. Though the store and meat market are a bit limited in variety of options, I thought the selection was well thought out and diverse enough for most of your needs. The last couple of times I went in they had the meat case and fish case full, so they are getting closer to finishing their layout. I know they are eventually going to have agua fresca, but are not there yet. There is a small selection of produce, dried spices, a lot of snacks, hot sauces, sodas, Jarritos, beer and a few of the essentials like cleaning/laundry supplies, condiments, etc. I included pictures of what they have been carrying in their first month, but expect it to continue to expand. The first time I went in, I was looking for some lunch while waiting for my appointment. I got the taco plate for $5.99. The rice and beans were decent and you have your choice of 3 from 4 options. They don't make their own tortillas, so I had a mixture of flour and corn and thought the flour was better. I found the barbacoa too fatty for my taste and lacking in flavor. The al pastor was better, it had a firm texture and tasted as expected. To my surprise, the beef fajita was the star, it had the best texture and flavor as it was quite tender, moist and very nicely seasoned. It was a good portion for the price too, fairly filling. My second visit was a week later. I got a picadillo flour gordita for $1.99 and it was nice and savory! Gorditas only come with the meat unless you specify, but they will make it however you request. I asked for cheese and lettuce and liked it. The gorditas are on the thin and small side and they fill them pretty good which makes them very hot. I guess I was too impatient to let it cool, it was hard to handle but worth being scalded. It was satisfying and I would order it again for sure. This last visit I tried their tamales which are $1.99 each. I got one chicken and one pork. They came wrapped in saran wrap and were very hot- literally steaming! I swear I'm going to burn myself if I keep coming here, lol. I'm sure if I was taking it home it would cool enough on the drive to easily handle AND still be nice and warm. Regardless, they make it to order so you can't say it's not hot and fresh. The chicken had some heat to it, compared to the pork, but I wouldn't call it spicy. I enjoyed both but the pork had a more satisfying and complex flavor of the two. They also had a jalapeno cheese one that I haven't tried. I will continue to order these and maybe I'll be nice enough to take them home and let my husband try them next time... maybe. They have a green sauce they include, but I haven't tried it yet just because I am awkwardly eating in my car each time and trying not to make a mess. In regards to the restaurant, I wouldn't say any of the meats I tried so far is the best in town, but they are not in direct competition with any of the taquerias. They are a meat market that has a very solid kitchen cranking out some good food. Plus, do you know how hard it is to get a single, piping hot tamale to eat on the spot around here? Typically you have to buy a half dozen or dozen frozen to take home, that alone entices me to keep coming back! This small business is a welcome addition to the neighborhood and I recommend you check them out! Support local! read more

Great chorizo, lots of high quality meats, beef bones and produce, for really good prices. We go every few weeks to stock up.

This place is fantastic! Just finished eating all four tacos that they offer and I'm throughly impressed. Definitely need to stop by and get yourself some food to go! UPDATE: Their pork tamales are by far the closest ones I have ever found to come grandma's tamales. Throughly impressed! Added tip, get the jalapeño cheese tamales as well. They were phenomenal. Oh and when you go to reheat the left overs, steam them. read more

Had the chicken tamales!!.. Fresh and great flavors.. not to mention great portions! Also enjoyed the taco meat sampling 3 different meats.. all very good. Service was great along with very clean and family oriented. Definitely a new favorite!! read more

Best tablitas around. Thick fat juicy bastards. The al pastor was meh. Im not huge on tacos in general because its generally too much tortilla but these were some plump boys. I think Id go for carnitas instead because they looked sexy. But yeah, get tablitas. Like at least 2#s of them. High heat grill, 2 minutes a side, thats all ya need. And some tecates of course. If youre white and you dont know what tablitas are, its time you found out. Just trust me. read more

Oh. My. God. These are the best tacos and breakfast burrito I have ever had in Denton. We've tried many mexican food places in the last two years and this will be deemed our favorite. We've been twice and have ordered to go through doordash and it was timely and tasted wonderful. We've had chicken and carne asada quesadillas, the breakfast burrito, and the chicken taco plate. I think the taco plate has been our favorite. SO GOOD! We're going to be here weekly! Must visit!!! read more

Loved the tacos are to die for! The green salsa is my favorite, but I add a little bit of the red one for extra spice. The customer service was phenomenal too! I will definitely be running here again! read more

I just love this place. After a move from CA, I was having a hard time finding local authentic Mexican food that wasn't "Tex-Mex". This place is awesome and they have a well-stocked market for all things you need to make authentic Mexican dishes and satisfy your craving for Mexican candy! Their tacos and burritos are really good. read more

Excellent authentic Mexican food. Not too pricey. The Mercado side is a little expensive but they season the meat and it cooks up delicious. Bonus is they have beer as well... Would definitely recommend! read more

Welcome to the neighborhood, La Laguna! My husband and I tried the taco plate with 3 diff tacos (chicken, al pastor, and barbacoa). Each was yummy, but WOW! The al pastor was fantastic (the middle taco pictured in my takeout)! My husband also tried a rajas con queso gordita (no picture available--he scarfed it! Haha), and gave it 5 stars! Looking forward to buying from the meat market! read more

Big thumbs up for La Laguna Meat Market & Kitchen . We ordered trays of food from them for this past weekend's graduation party: 3 meats, rice, refried beans & chips. They supplied tortillas, sauces, onions & cilantro. The order was ready for pick up on time. Everyone loved the food. The price was reasonable and the owner was super nice and very patient with me when trying to figure out what to order. We would definitely cater from them again. You might want to check them out if you have an event read more

Beef and chicken fajitas were awesome and their flour tortillas were amazing!!! Also,bought beans, rice. No complaints here, will be back!!!

Ordered delivery from this cute little spot around the corner two nights in a row. The Gordita I ordered was so good. The second night they forgot our rice and beans but we just assumed we ordered it wrong. Shortly after it was delivered we got a call from them apologizing for forgetting the beans and saying they felt terrible. It was already closed but He offered to drop them off or make it up to us next time. We were right around the corner so my husband just ran up there and grabbed it. They threw in 6 tamales. Super sweet and loved the way they handled an honest mistake. We'll for sure order from them again! read more
