Great food and generous portions. The aguachile felt fresh and they weren't stingy with the shrimp. Strongly recommended

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. read more

We went here fir the 1st time. We got the the 3 taco platter and chips and salsa. The queso taco was my favorite. The chips and salsa were flavorful and warm. The salsa bar was running low because it was very busy. Tried a few salsa and all of them were good. The margaritas were small but mighty in flsvor snd tequila. I will be going back again. read more

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! read more

Love this place! My husband and I ate there last night and it was delicious. It was very easy to order and you should definitely get drinks to go with the food. My husband got the taco plate (Al pastor, barbacoa, and quesabirria) which came with a side of beans and cilantro rice. He devoured that plate in seconds. Omg the beans were amazing! He also hit the salsa bar, he got the arvol. Spicy but so tasty. I got the Birria taco plate that also came with Beans and rice and the amazing consommé! We ate by the oak/outdoor bar area and our server found us easy. It did take a few minutes to get our food but it was so beautiful outside we didn't care and sipped on our drinks. It's a very chill spot definitely putting this place in our date night rotation and budget friendly. read more

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. read more

El Taco H - Birria Plate - Tacos Near Me - Denton, Texas

Whenever I'm in downtown Denton, I'm most likely coming here. I always feel welcome when I come in and the people who take your order are always helpful. The tacos and burritos are top tier. The birria tacos are chef's kiss. The aguas frescas are refreshing and my favorite churro is here. That churro is bomb! This place is an all around YES! There's so much space to sit and enjoy. They have outdoor seating and a good bar. Very comfortable and delicious spot. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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.

El Taco H - Birria Plate - Tacos Near Me - Denton, Texas

What a great Taco hangout place. This is a fast casual restaurant where you order at the counter and they bring food to you. First off the vibe is outstanding and it was filled with university students, as well as families. Spacious inside seating area and an equally big outside seating area. Drinks were outstanding, though the bar was a little slow. The food was exceptional for a taco joint. My wife had flautas and they were jammed with ingredients and cooked to crisp perfection. I had a taco plate with an Al Pastor, a Suadero and a Choriqueso. Look them up for photos and you will be impressed. I forgot to take any. The cilantro lime rice and charro beans were perfect as sides. We also had a side of outstanding elote which was about as good as I have had. Although I ventured out a little on my taco choices, next time I will go a bit further since I have a positive experience behind me. Perhaps try the beef tongue or stewed cactus in my tacos. The tacos are not soft, but also not in commercial shells. Everything felt and tasted very authentic. Really good place. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

Came on recommendation of some friends. A bit confused on how you order and no one greeted at door. But with that being said you walk in and menus are at door. Then step to counter and order and then seat yourself. Very open eating area and bar in the back as well as a salsa bar. Cute decor as well. Birria tacos were very tasty. Loved the cilantro lime rice and the beans. Chicken flautas were packed full and the crema on top was delicious. The best aguas frescas I have had in a while. read more

If you're looking for a place with great Mexican food and good vibes in downtown Denton then this is it. El Taco H is one of my top spots when visiting downtown Denton. They have a great salsa bar to get you started before your meal comes out. I love their tacos I feel like they're always on point. The staff is always vibrant and helpful from when you enter till you leave. If you're looking for a great margarita this is your place. Definitely will come back for more!! read more

This place is off the Denton Square by a block or two. You walk in, place your order, and they bring you your food. The ambience is adorable. It was clean, open, they had an air conditioned area in an outside sitting area. You got to sit wherever you want. They had a relish bar with all kinds of salsa, limes, and all the accoutrements that go with street tacos. I did get the El Diablo margarita, probably one of the best margaritas I have ever had in a very long time. I also got the Carne Asada, barrita taco, with rice and beans. All of it was very good however I did prefer the Carne Asada over the burrita taco read more

So I took my wife here for lunch on Saturday, and honestly the food was so-so at best. The service sucked The staff at the counter sucked. My food was cold and dry. My wife's was just missing for a while Ugh. They sucked So it all started by my wife and I walking up to order and my wife ordered two different type of tacos and a Diet Coke and a chips/salsa, I also ordered two different tacos and a glass of water. Simple, right?? Two people, four tacos! The girl said something to me which I couldn't hear due to the amount of noise there. Btw, this was a very noisy place. So I said, yes, that my wife ordered two tacos and I ordered two tacos Weird that you get a plastic cup but have to go to the bar in a different room to get your coke. So we sat and waited. They brought my tacos chips and salsa and left. We waited And waited And nothing So I went back up to the counter and was told that I had only ordered 2 tacos. So I told her that my wife had ordered two tacos and was told I had to pay again. 4 tacos, chips & salsa and a drink for $24. Seriously over priced It's amazing she heard my wife order the chips and salsa and her coke but not the tacos!! Her tacos finally did arrived, (NOT the tacos she ordered) but she ate them as we were tired and she was hungry Overall the experience sucked. Over priced over rated I cannot recommend this place and won't go back read more

We were on the way to lake Ray Robert's and took a detour because everybody was hungry. My daughter had been here before and recommended it. We all ordered the taco plate. I had the carne asada, my wife had the carnitas and my daughter had the queso birria. They were accompanied by a cilantro lime rice that was very heavy on the lime that my wife and daughter really liked and some beans with a suspicious seasoning. Overall it was a good meal meaning my wife and daughter loved what they had. They had a large variety of salsas and sauces. Chips are extra here where most places if you are purchasing 3 meals they come free. I personally am a connoisseur of Mexican food so I would given it a 3. It definitely is worth giving it a try since two out of three gave them a 4. read more

Absolutely loved this place! The authenticity is beaming from the second you walk in. From the big jugs of Agua fresca to the music and the decor, this place makes you feel like you're in for a traditional meal. The food was delicious. I ordered a taco plate and some flautas. The tacos were good, I got 2 pastor and one steak. The pastor came with pineapple and that was a delicious treat. The chicken flautas were probably the top 2 or 3 best I've ever had in my life. Super crispy on the outside yet juicy on the inside. The Agua fresco was absolutely amazing must get if you visit. Service was friendly and helpful. I will 100% be back here. read more

I meant to take the picture before most of the food was gone LOL The Ramen was so yummy! I will definitely order it again.

The atmosphere was nice and casual and the servers were friendly and attentive. El Taco H has been added to my will return to list. read more

El Taco H - Ramen Birria Chips Guac and Salsa - Tacos Near Me - Denton, Texas

This used to be one of my favorite taco spots, but the last few times we've ordered delivery, the tacos are either incredibly greasy (Asada) or the tortillas are wet and soggy. They have also forgotten items in several orders - one of the sides on the taco plate or tonight, the chips and salsa were left out. I won't order delivery again...lesson learned. Now the good - The Asada tacos are really good, but watch for hard burnt pieces from the grill (I always check mine before eating). The cilantro lime rice is delicious. The beans are good, but have more of a smoked ham taste than I like so I usually opt for double rice. The elote cup is okay...I can't put my finger on what I don't like about it. The salsa is drinkable!! It is so good! My favorite besides my mom and grandma's by far! The tres leches cake is incredible! I usually don't like tres leches cakes, but I saw a picture of it and my son and I decided to try it...omg...perfection. Asada tacos: 4/5 Cilantro lime rice: 4/5 Beans: 3/5 Elote cup: 2/5 Chips and salsa: 5/5 Tres leches cake: 5/5 read more

Hand down the best tacos we've had while in Texas. This spot is a favorite of our cousins who live nearby. We were told they have great margaritas but don't try them this trip. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and when we had an issue with part of our meal not getting delivered the manager was quick to refund us for the missing item - no questions asked. There is a large outdoor seating area and the indoor seating is kept for good cold with AC. The decor is plentiful and tasteful. The quesabirria tacos were to die for. The meat was very tender and it had just the right amount of cheese. The consommme was so good and was super flavorful. I washed everything down with a cup of cucumber and lime aqua Fresca which was very refreshing. The cilantro lime rice was so good and the charro beans were amazing. I'm used to bland refried beans at Mexican restaurants but these beans were piping hot and full of flavor. My husband was raving about his carne asada tacos and said he wishes he would've ordered more than three. We will absolutely be back the next time we are in town. read more

Wow! It's not often that I'm blown away from the moment I walk into a new restaurant, until I leave. From the outside it doesn't look like something as great as it was inside. The menu was pretty easy to navigate and the only down side was I couldn't sample their great drinks because I was at work. We ordered the chips & salsa and loved that they came out warm. They give you a ton of chips and that salsa was soooo good! We couldn't even finish them. They bring your order to you and everyone there was friendly and we got our order pretty quickly. Just looking at my Birria taco plate I was truly hoping it tasted as good as it looked. Well....it was even better! That meat was tender, juicy and packed full of flavors. The beans were out of this world amazing. Even the rice was some of the best rice I've had at a Mexican restaurant. I will come back again with my wife so she can drive and I can sample the drinks !! read more

El Taco H - Chilaquiles with Asada. Outstanding. - Tacos Near Me - Denton, Texas

Went here with a group of friends and definitely enjoyed our time! There was great atmosphere - music, lighting, and temperature at the facility was fun, vibrant, and comfortable. When you walk in, you grab a menu and order at the counter + pay right in front of you. They'll give you a number and the food is served wherever you choose to sit. The food itself was a bit on the higher side but this place is a tiny bit more upscale than your average taco shop you'd find at a gas station. The tacos were pretty small for our liking (looked like a little under 5 inches) but totally stuffed with meat - which did make up for it. Everything was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed the dish. There is a free salsa bar (chips you have to buy at the counter) with a complimentary water dispenser on the side. There's plenty of seating and two separate dining rooms. Bathrooms were plentiful and clean. The entire place was just super clean. Parking is on the street but there is also a free lot across the street from the restaurant. read more

Great food and good service. Do wish they had iced tea and wish they would bring back habanero sauce!

Outside of the hair wrapped around my lime, the food was incredible! I got tacos al pastor, cabeza, and carnitas! The meat was flavorful and where it needed to be. My husband got the birria and said the consommé was The BEANS!! I'll admit, a bean fanatic, but that with the added rice kind of reminded me of like a jambalaya situation. Only took one star off bc of the hair! read more
