THE FRIENDLIEST STAFF. They were so warm and inviting. I got the chorizo breakfast tacos and they were phenomenal. I loved the chorizo they used. Some places use the cheap chorizo but this was authentic. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and great pricing. read more

I have stopped at this little local spot when visiting my aunt twice now and it's a definite hidden gem. They have breakfast all day and tacos on flour or corn tortillas. Barbacoa, Chicken and Egg and Bacon were on my plate today. All of them were so flavorful and delicious. My niece had beans and rice and ordered a second because they were so good. They have the three different salsas when dining in, red (mild), green (medium) and green crema (looks like crema based- hot). The chips are light and crispy. They apparently have Chile Rellenos on Wednesdays and then Tamales (one or a dozen) on Fridays. I highly recommend making this a stop if you are in the area. read more

One of the best I. The area. Breakfast is amazing and the gorditas are my favorites. Tamales on Friday if you get there fast enough.

Staff were super friendly. Loved the food, gorditas freshly made. Clean, felt very welcome. Will certainly return. Absolutely loved our whole experience read more

We stopped in for lunch and got a lot more than some good eats. It was our first time coming here and tried the street tacos and papusa, they were not a let down at all. Everything was hot and fresh. The green salsa had a kick which was great. Now if I can get up early for breakfast... read more

Super yummy! We absolutely love this sweet little taco shop on Saturday mornings! They will absolutely make it how you like it!

Martha's is a great option for tacos, breakfast and lunch burritos, and chile rellenos. I have tried them all and they are the best . Service is quick and they are patient while explaining options. Very clean and accommodating. Highly recommend! read more

The service was very good. The place is clean and the food is very good! We will be back!

Fantastic!! Food, service, and prices were all great. Met the owner, and he was super friendly! We will definitely be back, especially for the pork pozole, which is only offered on Fridays. Can't wait!! read more

Every time I get to enjoy Martha's wish I could go more often. I enjoy the wonderful people there and their kindness and the food is nothing short of the best. Original wonderful Hispanic food and atmosphere. I don't think we could have great food in Texas if it wasn't for places such as Martha's. If you haven't been there go and get a breakfast Taco. They are fabulous. I say 5 stars always. read more

Excellent authentic Mexican food. When you walk in you are greeted with warm smiles and customer service you would expect from a high class restaurant. The first time I went, they could tell I was new and happily answered all the questions I had. The wait for the food was very quick, even though there was a line going outside the door. I ordered 2 breakfast burritos and rice and beans. When I got the food it was hot, Smelled wonderful, and was neatly packed and wrapped in containers and bags. For the abnormally low price of the food, I was very very pleased. The service, quality, and atmosphere of Martha's was what you would expect to pay triple the price for anywhere else. The owner and workers are a very humble and nice family, who I can tell loves to make food and serve others. The food was very fresh and had a homemade taste that I had never experienced before. The flavor was unlike any other Mexican food I have every eaten, and I eat Mexican at least 3 times a week. It makes me so happy when you get to experience food and service so excellent. It's refreshing since it has become less common. I highly highly highly recommend this place if you are every near Denton TX and want some authentic Mexican. If you ever do go, make sure to get their spiciest light green salsa. It's the hottest and most flavorful salsa I've ever had. Hands down, this is how authentic Mexican food is supposed to be. read more

This is a true Americana "Mom n Pops" joint. Its tiny inside but spotlessly clean and full of pride. Plenty of parking and good signage out front. Martha was on the grill and everyone had on Covid PPE. I ordered the Martha special with beef and cheddar cheese(to go). The portion size was "great" but it was a $10 price. I would have given 5 stars if the plate was $8 bucks. The flavors are fantastic!!! and I enjoyed every bite. The hot green sauce was superb. I will return on a friday to try some Pazole soup!!! read more

I stopped by Martha's Tacos on a late Wednesday afternoon after dropping off a Job application and boy oh boy am I glad I stopped. I had the Chiles Rellenos which is their Wednesday special and it was the best Chiles Rellenos I have ever had. Packed with flavor without being overpowering, and once you add in their homemade salsas... perfection, and great friendly service too. I hope I get hired in Ponder so I can make this my regular lunch spot! read more

Great little taco shop in Ponder. George is great and clearly has pride in his food and service. Really good, traditional tacos and tamales. It is no-nonsense and not fancy in the least. Give it a try. read more

The service there is amazing! Everyone is so nice. Food is great anything you get there you'll love but I especially recommend the breakfast burritos and their gorditas and tacos. read more

We love this place! They have a nice patio with tasty food and reasonable prices. We sometimes order Tamales for Christmas. Try their awesome Gorditas! read more

Always fresh. Very underrated in Denton county!gorditas are always on point and Friday tamales are a tradition.

Umm..we thought we were going to have a better experience then what we had. The reviews made it seem like this was the hot spot but it wasn't. There wasn't a wow factor and the food was missing alot of flavor. We ordered a wide range of the breakfast tacos and wish we would have kept driving. The eggs were a little rubbery and the "I think it was chorizo" was really really salty like I need to drink a big cup of water to help dilute the amount of sodium I just ingested. I think they could focus more on flavors and less on how many meals they can get out the door and this place could be better. read more

Great food. Friendly staff. Martha is there everyday in the kitchen. Food is fresh and hot. Nothing fancy about this place but the food is fantastic. I usually go for the breakfast taco. The salsa is great but be warned the spicy and extra spicy will light you up. read more

Martha's Taco Shop - Chicharrón y steak and cabbage - Mexican Near Me - Ponder, Texas

Our first experience here was amazing! We had the Martha's special and tacos. We will definitely be back.

Love this place and the customer service is awesome. You gotta try it! Mmmmmmmm the food is authentic!

Food is not good. We ate here working nearby and yea I should of got subway again. Ordered the pork thinking it was maybe carnitas but it was just shredded pork in sauce nasty flavor. The barbacoa was decent but then the after taste stayed stuck . read more

I can only speak to the breakfast, but it's delicious. If you like spicy, you'll love the "extra spicy" sauce. It's an awesome family operation that everyone should try!! read more

Just drove 25 minutes to try this place out and it was worth every minute! Because her answer was "everything is great" when I asked what she recommended, I tried several thing. Pork street taco on corn tortialla with cilantro and onions was awesome. Tortilla was incredible. Chicken taco on flour tortilla was incredible. I only got flour because I had to try it out to make sure homemade...yes it was. Next time I'll stick with the corn however because that's the way a Mexican street taco is supposed to be eaten! Beef gordita with cilantro, onion and "mexican cheese" (she asked "do you want Mexican cheese or American cheese"). I don't know what the star of the show was. The gordita was incredible but so were the tacos. I think the star may actually be the two green hot sauces they serve. They bring out a creamy green sauce that's pretty spicy, another green sauce that's a little chunkier and it's got a little spice, and then a normal red sauce. The creamy spicy sauce was awesome. I'll definitely make this a weekly stop from now on. Who cares what the outside of the place looks like, the service and food were outstanding. read more

Martha's, Martha's, Martha's. This is, in my Southern California born and raised opinion, THE premier home cooked Mexican food place in Denton county. Everything is homemade, the owners are sweet and always glad for your business, and the portions are more than appropriate. The everything burrito is amazing, the tamales are always tasteful, and the pozole is enough for two meals. They have tacos, street tacos, gorditas, etc. If you want good Mexican food and to support homemade food, Martha's is the place to go! read more

Chicken Gordita is my go to menu item but everything is great. Their food reminds me of something you would find deep in the heart of Mexico. A very unique gem for the locals. read more

The everything breakfast burritos are the best around. The service is always quick and friendly. Come here almost weekly.

Fantastic breakfast burritos! Salsa is great, just be careful with the green it's spicy!!

Martha makes really good food & she's super friendly! I recommend eating here if you're in ponder & in the mood for Mexican food.

These are the WORST tacos I've ever had!!! I couldn't eat them. If you've ever had anything authentic you'd puke over these. So disappointing. I was hopefully because of the reviews and was hoping it would be authentic street tacos but.... read more

Excellent food! Everything on the menu is homemade with love and authentic Mexican !

Martha's is one of my favorite things about living in Ponder. We are treated like family and the food is phenomenal. This isn't Tex-Mex and the menu is limited. You will be more than pleased with anything you order. Everything is homemade. The street tacos are out of this world, breakfast burritos are phenomenal, and the salsas...oh my. Just one visit to Martha's and you'll be hooked! read more
