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. read more

Taqueria Monterrey - 1 carne asada taco on corn and 1 chicken taco on flour. - Mexican Near Me - Denton, Texas

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... read more

Taqueria Monterrey - Mexican Near Me - Denton, Texas

Horrible service. No "plates", all al la carte, so had to pay $8 for a spoon of rice and beans. The bathrooms were nasty. The food wasn't anything impressive or memorable. Very minimal flavor. Just all around a bad experience for a 1st impression. read more

No fresh made tortillas, beans were off, rice is not good, the fountain drink don't try it, and the aqua fresca lemonade to strong. Not a good place to eat , I am just shocked they make carne guisada was not gravy it was more watered down juice like calavasita. Not expected from a place with this name. Definitely don't go here if I could I would put ZERO STARS . IDK WHO PUT FOUR STARS YALL NEED TO COME DOWN TO SAN ANTONIO AND EAT REAL CARNE GUISADA. read more

Fantastic spot for delicious food and friendly service. Whether you're craving tacos, enchiladas, or something fresh off the grill, they deliver bold flavors every time. The staff is welcoming and attentive, making the experience even better. Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

If you'd asked me before today, I'd have said they're always a solid 4 or 5. But it seems they've raised their prices between %35-%50 and lied about the kids' burgers. I know... a burger from a taqueria, but it was more for myself and the wife. Anyways, OUR food was okay but not worth 10+ per plate. This is a taqueria, folks, not a sit down dining restaurant. Chips and a bowl of salsa was 4 freaking dollars. The top of it all though was the kids burgers. $10+ each. We asked for meat, cheese and ketchup only. It came out drowning in mayonnaise and ketchup. They insisted that it was mozzarella cheese. They straight up lied in our face, even as we were showing them the burger. VERY sad to say that I won't be returning. Not at those prices. read more

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

OMG I was looking for some breakfast tacos in the area, & since I was working on Labor Day I called to see if they were open. Once I arrived I ordered 5 Chorizo Tacos, they were so flavorful & some of the best breakfast tacos I've ever tasted!! Can't wait to go back!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Steak fajitas were overcooked and tough, and a very small portion. Enchiladas were mediocre at best. Refried beans were tasteless. The Tostada Siberia was skimpy on guacamole and chicken but under a glob of thick sour cream. The prices were way too high for the quality and the portions. read more

Thank you Gabriel. You all nail the orders each and every single time and are always pleasant and smiling. It is wonderful to see that people come for the food and stay for the service. read more

Foods good. Great portions. Best Mexican food I've had in Denton. (Not saying much). Still, the nachos are really good. They charge for pico, though?!? That's a 'head scratcher'!? Anywho.... Check them out. Just don't ask them to "change things" within your order. It's likely they'll forget something. read more

Just got back from picking up take out. This was our go to place. Well the Gorditas were way too thick and hard. I ordered 3 different ones and all 3 were the same meat and the meat was too chewy to eat. My husband ordered his usual bistek a la Mexicana and the meat was also too chewy. I'm so disappointed I don't know if it's a new cook but I think we'll drive a little further to the other one on University. I just hope this is a fluke and doesn't become the norm read more

A diamond in the rough! You can barely find this place on yelp or even walking by it's hard to spot but if you do find it EAT HERE!! The food scissor kicks your taste buds! My kids ate everything we ordered. Fajitas, tacos, street tacos, and yes sadly I have one kid who ordered chicken nuggets but those were even ok. Salsa is FRESH! Food is fantastic. Traditional Mexican food. Sooo very good. read more

We had the panbazos and churros and everything was bad, I don't know which one was worst. The churros were dry and hard they tasted horrible, the worst we've had so far. The pambazo tasted nothing like an authentic Mexican pambazo. I had previously gone there and the sopes were okay no where near as bad as today. This was my second and last time there. read more

Dude... DUDE. This place is awesome. I got the 3 taco combo with beans and rice and added an extra taco. Both Barbacoa and chicken were amazing, hot, and flavorful. Salsa was amazing too read more
