    1 carne asada taco on corn and 1 chicken taco on flour.
    Tabetha R.

    This is my second time coming here. I have visited once late in the evening and today for lunch. First time I got a taco plate and I enjoyed it. Today I wasn't too hungry so I just ordered 2 tacos. Lobby is always clean. Staff always friendly. Chicken was pretty dry so I am not sure I will get that again, but i dont mind the asada. I like that they give you both grilled and raw onion and they place it on the side so you can dress it yourself. I will continue to be a repeat customer.

    Stopped in at Taqueria Monterrey Sunday afternoon for a bite to eat. This was our first time here. The dining room was full and it smelled great as we walked in. Service was friendly and quick - big smiles from the person taking our order. It's so nice to be greeted with a smile. We each ordered the 3 Taco Plate. Hubby got all lengue tacos and I mixed mine up and ordered 1 each lengue, nopales, and rajas. They were advertising elote on the door, so I ordered a cup of this, too. We were anticipating a "salsa" bar with salsa, radishes, limes, marinated onions, etc. but they don't have this here. They have a verde and rojo sauce in bottles plus Valentina hot sauce. Our plates came with caramelized onions, a roasted jalapeno, a lime wedge, and half a roasted potato on the side. Food was tasty and it came out pretty quickly. Dining area was clean and it was not overly loud even though it was full. When our plates were brought to us we dug right in, forgetting to take photos until it was nearly too late (well too late for my plate / one taco left on hubby's). We were missing the freshness of a raw element (like radishes) but enjoyed the roasted potato touch. The lengue tacos needed more seasoning but the meat was tender. The elote corn was not roasted (at least it didn't"t have any char and no smoky flavor) and I wished they had put more of the "toppings" to accommodate the amount of corn you got. It was tasty after adding more Valentina and some line juice from the wedge that came on hubby's plate; but it needed more mayo/cream and cheese. I think we'll try a few more taco joints but keep this one in our back pocket. Maybe it was just an off day for seasoning...

    One carnitas taco with extra potatoes, chips and salsa.

    On my own today for lunch. One of my favorite lunch stops in Denton. Carnitas taco with extra potatoes hit the spot. And enough chips for a couple people. But so good! And of course Coke.

    Incredible breakfast gorditas. This is a must stop and will stop personally everything i go by

    #16 flautas

    I really like this location. It's kind of hidden behind Winco that shares a parking lot. If you enjoy authentic Mexican food this is the place. There were some dirty tables - perhaps it was from the lunch rush? But when I was there it was not busy at all around 1pm. My go-to here is the flautas! The rice and beans are really good too. I like my rice pretty simple with flavor and not other ingredients like corn or peas how some Mexican rice is cooked.

    4 bucks a piece and they're literally two bites big.

    Use to be my fave place but they've gotten greedy. Smaller portions and more expensive. Food quality has gone down too

    I'm a huge fan of the original Mayhill location and a frequent visitor of the other University location. So when I hear there will be *another* Taqueria Monterrey built where I frequently shop, I say bring it on! Of course, since this location is partially hidden, I didn't even realize it had been built yet, much less open for a week, by the time I discovered it. They are at the back of the Winco, on the right side. Another business is being built next door. They have a small lot that seemed like plenty of room at the time, but if they ever reach the popularity of the original location, it will not be enough in my opinion. As of our visit, Saturday June 22, 2019, they have dark tinted windows and no neon open sign. We only stopped because there were a few cars outside and they had flutter flags- one said Grand Opening and the other said Now Open. The employees I met were nice, though clearly new. Considering they have been open a week, I think they did a good job overall. When we arrived there were quite a few tables seated and eating with plenty of available tables and booths. There were several people waiting on to go orders that were served by the time we got settled with our drinks and plasticware. Our food came out fairly quickly, well under 10 minutes. That's a great job for a new staff. Though they knew to ask about flour or corn tortillas, they did not ask about many of the typical customizations that are automatically asked at the other locations. They did not bring either red or green sauce to the table, but those are located in the cooler and accessible by customers. They were a bit slow to answer questions about offerings not listed on the menu above the register (doesn't list drinks, desserts or all a la carte items). I think they are still waiting on the printed take out menus. All of these things are expected and acceptable minor differences that work themselves out with experience. No worries here! The food we ordered was very good, just as I would expect from any Taqueria Monterrey location. Prices are reasonable and portions are large. It's challenging not to overorder. They offer fountain drinks, bottled/canned drinks in their cooler as well as a small amount of premade desserts like cheesecake and arroz con leche. They have six agua frescas ($2.25- $3.50) and seemed to be doing a promotion for their grand opening. While you get decent agua frescas in the regular white, Styrofoam cups at the other locations, they were dressing it up here. They offered clear cups (stick with the medium, they aren't sturdy and you may pop off the lid on a large) where you can see the bright colors and top them off with colorful umbrellas. The Tamarindo was on par and the melon was very fresh and enjoyable! I noticed some minor differences. All three of the jalapeno peppers served with meals varied in size and appearance. Normally they are firm, these were quite floppy. I don't usually eat them as I am a wimp, but my husband made no mention of a difference in taste between the two he chopped up. The asada gorditas my husband ordered were tasty. He could only eat two and took one home, which was still good cold. The gorditas here are thick and hold up well to the yummy filling. It's a good portion for $7.50. The asada torta ($6.99) I got was delicious, though slightly thinner than I am used to at the Mayhill location. All the ingredients were good quality and complimented each other, including the avocado which was the perfect texture and amount for the torta. My asada was well seasoned and I only came across one chunk of fat in my foodventure. The bread had that perfect, homey soft texture. Unless you're starving, I think this is something you can split between two people. It tastes fine as leftovers, but much better right after it's been made. Taqueria Monterrey does the best barbacoa in town, so I excitedly ordered a barbacoa taco for $1.75. This tasted good, but it was extremely, extremely greasy. I drained it several times and still got way too much grease- not great. I would expect this to work itself out over time, I'll wait a while and try it again. In the meantime, bring the Tums. It also came with way too much cilantro. I will request the onions and cilantro on the side going forward. Though I am a huge fan of the asada torta, I think I'll get a taco plate next time with a mix of meats to see how they are progressing. For this early on, they are doing a fantastic job. Many new locations struggle and I see nothing out of the ordinary to be worried about here. They open at 8am everyday until 10pm (11pm on Fridays and Saturdays) so if you find yourself running errands in Rayzor Ranch, check them out! If you are wanting perfection, go to the Mayhill location, but I would expect them to be running at that same level in a couple of months tops. They are off to a solid start!

    Having been to the Mayhill location, I was excited to find that they had opened a location just down the parking area from the hotel I am staying in. I considered walking but opted not to just in case I encountered any issues and had to abort my planned visit. I now wish I had walked because I truly over ate! When I first pulled up, I admittedly thought they were closed. It's in an awkward spot in the strip mall and parking is kind of off to the side. There weren't any cars out front, no neon open sign and I didn't notice anyone in the dining area. I did however notice their open hours on the door and was excited to see that I was within those hours. I entered a really clean restaurant. It was unfortunately dead inside. Something I was surprised to see having been to the other location and knowing how good this place is. A young man met me at the register and offered to take my order. He did ask if I had been here before and offered suggestions as well as offered to explain the menu to me. I was happy to see the aqua frescas at this location too. The rest of the menu seemed to be the same as well. If you've ever been to this place, you would know that the offerings is extensive! And could be a bit overwhelming. I ordered my usual, tacos al pastor with beans and rice. My order came quickly. He did offer sauces to me which he quickly brought to my table as well. My aqua Fresca (I chose a LARGE pineapple) did come in the usual styrofoam cup which I was happy for since a large is really big and will last me all night and probably into the morning. The food was really good. The al pastor was a bit greasy but I really find that If it's not, it just doesn't taste the same. I eat this meal as a treat and know that it's not a healthy treat so I'm good with it. Beans and rice were good but after eating all three tacos, I really couldn't get more than a taste of each down. Overall, a fantastic experience with really good food. I really hope that they can hang on until more patrons begin coming to this location. I think it is a great spot for them.

    Taco plate- 1 chicken and 2 carne asada. Came withgreen and red salsa, grilled onions, pepper and seasoned potato. SO GOOD!

    First time coming here and this place is 10/10. Cooked to order, staff is friendly and rest was very clean. Portion size was also great for the price!

    Bistek a la mexicana
    Jessica P.

    Doordashed due to COVID, just as delicious as eating there in the restaurant. Bistek and ceviche did not disappoint!

    Outside. Located on the west side of Winco off W University

    If you like the real deal Mexican street taco food this is the place! I've never been here before but will be back. Excellent food. Kind of hidden on the west side of Winco but worth it.

    Yummy

    We braved the Sunday brunch crowd, and now I completely understand why this place stays so busy…read more Even with a packed house, we grabbed seats at the bar and had a great experience from start to finish. The place is decked out with brunch esthetic and the bartender was friendly as can be. We started with a Million Dollar Bloody Mary and a Spiked Watermelon Wake-Up, both of which were made perfectly. For food, we ordered the Chipotle Steak & Queso Hash and the Power Wrap, and both were excellent. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and was served quickly despite how busy they were. If you've been debating whether the wait is worth it, I'd say yes. Great food, great drinks, and a staff that handled a busy Sunday brunch like pros. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

The lemon ricotta pancakes were super fluffy, and the lemon curd on top added a fresh, slightly tart twist that made them stand out. The steak chimichurri hash was packed with flavor -- bold, savory, and balanced with a subtle sweetness that tied everything together really well. And the barbacoa bowl? Easily a 10/10. Great flavor, great balance, and incredibly satisfying. Overall, every dish hit. Definitely a spot worth coming back to if you're in Denton.

    I've been coming here for years. It's the best breakfast spot around, by far…read more Food: delicious. Lot of options. There are corn cakes, for those eating gluten free, if you're still wanting pancakes. They're decent. The cinnamon rolls are huge, & not a typical cinnamon roll, as they're made from scratch. Covered in icing! Biscuits are layered, & delicious. French toast is really good, but it's also the same dough used for biscuits, so it isn't like your normal slice of bread French toast. The coffee is from "Avoca," a local roaster in Fort Worth. Sooooo good. Lot of options for the fancy coffee drinkers, at the coffee bar BTW Prices: about $10-20 a plate. Pancakes are pretty big, so you will be full. Everything is reasonable for portion size, compared to price Environment- hipster. Open, can be loud if music is loud, making everyone else talk louder Service- you walk up to the register & order. Menu is on wall, as well as some handheld menus if waiting in line. So you don't have anyone coming to your table, everything is self serve, which is great I used to come here weekly, every Friday morning lol it's well worth stopping in and trying.

You seat yourself, but we had some trouble finding a clean table. Not sure what was going on, but it seemed like the people who bus tables were busy doing other things. Maybe expo? Then I was confused by how to get our drink orders (they give you one of those table numbers, and then the drinks area has a matching one they put out when your order is ready). So a little of a learning curve, but let's get to the good stuff: the food. This menu is unique and has something for everyone. I lean vegetarian, so I was looking for something on the lighter side. I got the caramelized grapefruit and a Bee's Knees, which is granola, honey, berries and warm milk. I chose the oat milk. I also got the blueberry latte with oat milk, which was actually a tea drink. It was a delicious combo. My partner got the loco moco with sausage and jalapeño butter, scrambled eggs and hash brown. He ended up wanting more than one sausage patty, but I feel like we will know for next time. His other wish was that the jalapeño butter would be more spicy. I will want to go back next time we are in Denton, because I appreciate any restaurant that spends time finding unique flavors and menu offerings, especially for people like me who are not into the typical heavy breakfast menu items. Give it a try!

The buttermilk pancakes, of which I barely finished half, were very delicious. The sausage patties were equally delightful. The same could not be said of the syrup which congealed as it poured. Although the fried eggs had a pleasant taste, I failed to be more precise on how they were to be cooked as the yolk was liquified. When I ordered the Holiday Brew drip coffee, I wished the cashier had suggested the Bottomless Drip. As I usually drink more than a single cup, I could have saved some money. Regardless, the coffee had a very pleasant taste. When gratuity was requested, it would have been very beneficial to know for what I was tipping? When I ordered off the breakfast menu, the price was not for the raw ingredients but the cost of it being made. The same with ordering drip coffee. When I saw the silverware by the cream and coffee sweetener, I expected to grab my own utensils. As it was my initial visit, the sign to bus my own table was totally unexpected. It definitely explained why there were a lot of crumbs on the table. Since the sign was near the back, it would have been easily missed if I had not visited the restroom.
