Great find for tacos in Denton. Enjoyed everything that we ordered, and we had a good sample of the tacos on the menu. Did the same with the salsas. There are so many selections. This is great since each type of taco will be enhanced by specific flavors and heat. I had three tacos: nopales, barbacoa; and beef. Liked all of the flavors put forward. I had cilantro-lime rice. We had the chips and salsa and enjoyed the warm salsa that was served. Very good read more

I keep coming back because their food is delish and priced well. Thank you for not being like other places and charging $17 for a mediocre burrito. My favs are the pastor tacos and queso birria. They have the best Guacamole. My kids love the chicken tostadas. And we love Wednesday Loteria night. Oh and a great salsa bar and sangria. One of my fav spots at the square. read more

The food has good flavors, the service is super friendly and fast and they have great music for ambiance if you like an authentic Mexican feel with Banda music and Spanish music of all genres. Be prepared to wait in line to order your food before you seat down if you go during rush hour times but their salsa bar is awesome and I heard during the weekends the back patio turns into a big party so I will have to go try that out in the future. read more

El Taco H - Their ranch water is poured straight into the topo chico - Tacos Near Me - Denton, Texas

It has been a while since I visited this place. At least a year since I was last here. This time around I went with my son and ordered two 3 tacos meal. Sudadero & Al Pastor. Both flavors with only onions. The tortillas were falling apart. Perhaps too much dipped in oil (as MXN street tacos tend to be). The beans had a strong cummin & black pepper taste. Perhaps may be canned sourced. The white Mexican rice was ok (arroz cilantro y limón flavor). Uncommon for a Mexican kitchen vs the tomato rice that's mostly dominant in Mexican food. Suadero meat was ok. Fatty as suadero should be. Al Pastor meat was overcooked. Horchata water (rice water) was ok. Just too sweet. This maybe sourced through a vendor. Customer service was good. Food is overpriced for the quality provided. read more

If you're looking for a great ambiance & hangout spot to munch on Mexican food, this will be your place. The food is okay, why because it's lacking flavor on most plates. The agua chiles did not have any taste or spice to it. They included a bag of salsa chips which gave it the spice. The birria tacos were savory but felt like there wasn't enough meat in the taco. The only taco I would recommend from here is the el pastor taco. Drinks are really good & enjoyable to drink at the outside patio. read more

El Taco H - Painting outside - Tacos Near Me - Denton, Texas

Okay I'm sad that this is all the way in Denton and I live in Fort Worth because this was sooooo good. I was getting my hair done down the street and my stylist told me to come here for lunch so I did. I ordered to go but got an Agua Fresca de Fresa and the taco plate with rice and beans. Did not disappoint. The Birria, Carnitas, and Tinga all had amazing flavor. Definitely will be back to eat on the patio because it looked super cute and it would be perfect on a nice day with a margarita yes I'll be back read more

Delicious as usual! Ate at the restaurant before the Luchador match they were hosting. Got Al Pastor, Barbacoa, and Carnitas. All delicious. The barbacoa was less greasy this time. Rice and beans are the absolute best I've ever had. Margaritas were perfect. Service was also fast as usual. The bartenders were great; we came back over for a drink after the match and my friend requested a creative drink inspired by the luchador mask he bought at the match. It was yummy! They were all super nice. Always a great vibe here. Love the brick walls and decor. The music is always fantastic. Feels like I'm back in Mexico! read more

Found this place when in town visiting my son at UNT and was looking for a place that served food after 10. Big open space with indoor and outdoor seating. You take a menu, find a seat, order at the counter or bar when ready and they bring it to your table! I got the seasoned chips and guacamole.. we all agreed some of the best we'd ever had. They have a huge salsa bar which includes at least 6 types of salsa, pico, onions, cilantro, limes and jalapeño....AWESOME!!! My son and his girlfriend got the birria plate and finished every morsel! I had a Modelo draft, kids said margaritas were good! They said they will definitely be back! Fun, cool relaxed atmosphere. read more

El Taco H - Seasoned chips with guacamole and pico and salsa bar sides - Tacos Near Me - Denton, Texas

We came as a group of 15 after an event on the UNT campus. Our organizers ordered some guac and chips for the table -- the guacamole was off-the-charts excellent and the chips were fine too. I got a taco plate with the three least common tacos that I could find on the menu; all three tacos were wonderful. The taco plate came with a small bowl of rice that I liked a lot and a bowl of beans that was good enough for the purpose. We drank some Shiner bock and then some more Shiner bock. The beer was most welcome, and pretty tasty to boot. read more

El Taco H - Taco plate - Tacos Near Me - Denton, Texas

It a fancy place with cheap food near the college. Nothing was bad, but nothing made me want to ever come back again since I make a lot more money than when in college in the 90s. read more

I am OBSESSED with this place!! Not only does it never disappoint, but it continues to exceed my expectations. I always go in expecting whatever I order to be good but somehow I'm never prepared for HOW GOOD it always ends up being. Also - the service is always immaculate!! Everyone is so kind and helpful!! This time around, I decided to try one of their Tuesday specials, the Nacho Libre. My sister was raving about these nachos awhile ago so I was pumped to finally try them. These are hands down some of the greatest nachos on the planet! The carne asada was so flavorful and tender, queso was on point, chips were fresh and top tier as always, the vegetables and all the toppings were fantastic!! 1000000/10 would absolutely get again!! read more

I do not enjoy giving one star reviews to local establishments, however, when I do there is always a reason. With that being said, I've gone to El Taco H with friends and family several times since they opened here in Denton. I've never had any issues, food has always been consistent and the staff and service have been friendly. With that being said, I've never ordered any drinks from the bar. Last night a close friend of many years was visiting from out of town and a group of us (5 total) excitedly decided to take my friend to this establishment. We made our orders, found out we couldn't order drinks at entry (which was totally fine) we go to the bar to make our orders. My friend ordered and received her drink. I give her my and my partners drink orders, she asks for ID and my partner handed the bartender his and my id. I took out my credit card ready to pay. The bartender looks at our id's tells me mine is expired and cannot serve me. I asked her "really?" And she responds with "really." With an attitude, but then looks at my partner and repeats the wrong order back to him and asks him if he's still wanting to order. I asked the bartender how is it that she's unwilling to serve me, but she's ready to serve my partner and willing to let me pay? I decide to go ahead and renew my ID right there, and show the bartender my renewal receipt. She proceeds to bring back the manager and I'm told again they can't serve because they don't have a copy. Your manager and bartender should be aware that this copy of the receipt is a valid document for renewal and serves as a substitute until the actual card arrives in the mail. I was a bartender for 10 years, I still keep my TABC updated even though I'm out of the industry. This could have not even been any sort of issue if your manager stated "this is our private policy" but instead she stated that she had to HAVE a copy, which legally stating isn't true. With that being said, your bartender overpoured my friend's drink. To the point it was not suitable for drinking. There's some massive inconsistencies here in terms of awareness of TABC law at your bar. I don't like making a big deal of things, but I really didn't appreciate feeling like was a teenager trying to get an illegal drink when I'm 36 years old just trying to have a drink with my friends lol. I felt incredibly unwelcome and it killed the mood for all of us who were having a great evening catching up until that point. Even worse was hearing how your bartenders were talking to other patrons, which my friend also pointed out to me. I don't think any of us will be returning, which is pretty unfortunate. read more

Wow!! I totally loved this spot. Everything we ate was delicious and we even went for seconds. We had asada taco, quesabirria taco, campeche quesadilla, horchata, consomé, and elote. The meat is tender and rich, nothing was greasy, the salsas are full of flavor and controlled heat. The consomé was flavorful, served very hot which I appreciate, and not greasy. I was visiting from LA and would be extremely happy to have a spot like this back home. And that means a lot because tacos in LA rock! Service was great, place is clean. They have a great salsa bar. They have a full bar in the back, pario seating, ample seating inside. Clean restrooms. read more

The food here was absolutely fantastic! 10/10 in every category. The employees were all very nice, the inside was clean, and the food came relatively quickly. Just visiting the area this time around, but once I've officially moved closer, this place will definitely be a go to for date night with my husband. Cant can't to try the rest of the menu! read more

El Taco H - Chicken Burrito HUGE (it was cut in 1/2) - Tacos Near Me - Denton, Texas

Sooo glad my friend took me to this taco spot. I really love Denton and what it offers!! And this spot is definitely one of them. They had a variety of tacos to choose from, and I went with the classic plus something different. I chose the Al Pastor, Carne Asada and the cactus with potatoes! AMAZING CHOICES! And the salsa bar is TOPPPP NOTCH!!!! The elotes had all the right flavors- although I did wish I got more as the serving size a little. I cannot wait to come back with more friends! They have a huge indoor and outdoor space. The weekends I heard are crazy here. 5 stars for good vibes and good food! read more

I ordered carne asada tacos. They were standard. My husband ordered beef flautas and those were amazing!!! Probably the best I've had. We shared a watermelon agua fresca. It was very good and they have quite a few flavors and you can sample them before buying. The guacamole was chunky and perfect. The side of chips and salsa were tasty as well. I didn't know whether we would be seated or not. Then a worker said the menus were behind me. Then you order at the counter. I was a little confused about this at first but once you know, you know. I noticed that the restaurant smelled strongly of fabuloso cleaner. It was overwhelming. I'm not sure if they had just cleaned or what. That being said, the restaurant was very clean. read more

Great tacos, great margs, great salsa. Lots of tables, including some outdoors. There's cornhole in the back and the vibes are super upbeat and fun. I will definitely be back. read more

Everything was good. Food, atmosphere,service all good, very unique restaurant. Will definitely be going back

El Taco H is great and probably the best taco spot in Denton! I've tried most of the tacos now and will say the birria, Barbacoa, and carne asada are the best (the Al pastor is lacking). The Elote corn is delicious as well. The salsa bar has plenty of good salsas, plus lime, onion and cilantro. The space is pretty big and they keep it clean. The staff is great and super helpful. I've had food missed before, but the staff took care of it when I asked. The dining area especially by the bar can get quite loud if it's busy, but overall it's a pleasant place to be. read more

Definitely a go to place. Super fun environment especially weekend nights. Food always comes out fast and yummy. Drinks are amazing specifically, the strawberry Agua Fresca definitely go with the Small unless you're looking for an extra extra extra large drink read more

Great food. The adults had the Barria Tacos and our daughter had a quesadilla! Guacamole and chips was super yummy! Can't go wrong with the salsa bar! read more

The food was great. We went thru the line this time but we'll definitely go to the bar next time so we can have a few drinks before we eat.

Great spot to get tacos in Denton. I'm from a Mexican neighborhood in Chicago so I am not going to be fooled by any tacos. These however were delicious! Nice big patio outside where you can just hang out and have some cocktails. Awesome place for kids. read more

I had a great time at El Taco H. When I walked in there were 3 or 4 customers in front of me but I definitely see why. The cashier at the front will greet you with a smile and help you take your order. I remember having the big burrito and that thing was packed with some amazing food. I had not heard of any of the meats that the cashier listed but I'm glad I asked her to choose what she likes best. It was so good. The only thing that I noticed is that their tablet will automatically select 20% tip so you may want to watch out for that if you want to choose a different option. Also for the small things like a quesadilla, recommend that the customer buy two or let them know that it's a small item. You can definitely tell that the company has invested in technology. They give you a device that looks like the ones which vibrate when you're waiting for a table at a crowded restaurant. But you put the device on the table and when your food is ready the staff actually know where to bring the food out to. The design of the place is amazing. It's a wrestling theme that reminds me of Nacho Libre but they do it in a way where it's entertaining but also how a restaurant should look. Currently, if you go on the 1st or 3rd Friday you'll want to wait around. Because there's this nice guy nicknamed "Salsa with Jo" who gives a free dance lesson on how to do Bachata. The most memorable thing was how hard the staff work. I needed a to go box for my big burrito. The manager had acknowledged me and took the time to get me one. As far as cleanliness goes, there is no complaints. There's a taco bar area and because the dancing started I put my empty drink down as I didn't see any garbages that were out. Within 5 minutes it was picked up because the staff that is in charge of making it nice is constantly checking it for quality. I live 30 minutes away from this location but I look forward to spending more time eating at El Taco H. read more

Came to check out what the hype was all about. This is a really nice set up with ordering first then going to your table and there's a bar area in the back. Plenty of tables. There was live music on a Friday evening which was a nice touch. I had three tacos (pastor and carne asada). The tacos had lots of onions so if you're not a fan of onion - beware. I ordered a side of cilantro lime rice and it was okay. Didn't have much flavor and seemed a bit more like sticky rice. I ordered the sangria which was really good. I'd go back to try other items and drinks! I was disappointed that there wasn't much for chicken options/chicken tacos. Just like any where in downtown Denton... parking might be tough depending on day/time. read more

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

You order at the front counter and they bring the food to you. Service was great! Food was delicious. Music was a bit loud for us. But we are sound sensitive and one of us is blind. Food was brought out quickly. First delivered was chips and salsa. The salsa was good and warm. Very mildly spicy, if at all. The chips were served warm, fresh and crispy. We ordered carnitas tacos, carne asada tacos and birria tacos with the consummé. Two meals came with rice and beans. We all loved our food! Definitely a good little taco place! read more

Great food and atmosphere. The chips and salsa are amazing. The best birria tacos in the area.

Hubby and I were headed to Hoochies and eat crab legs and shrimp but we spotted across this new Taco shop and it looked dead but once you go inside the establishment is large and lots of sitting and it's real nice. You get greeted at the front menus by the door wall and order with a nice smile and some fresh waters which I tried and didn't enjoy but gave it a try for the spike horchata and that was like drinking pool water and loads of ice. Recommend just the orchata. Had the 3 tacos queso birria, steak and barbacoa. All taste bomb! Salsas amazing!! The corn in a cup tasty and so are the beans and rice. Also ordered a tres leches cake nice portion and taste good. All to say my poor husband got food poisoning and it was bad! We should have gone with sea food. But not gonna lie the food was good and great service but never going back. read more
