Terrible customer service. Waited in line for twenty minutes to be told theyre out of multiple meats. How are you going to wait until I am at the front to say that? Ridiculous. Will not be back. 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

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

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. I don't usually eat guacamole but I couldn't stop eating the chips and guacamole. I really enjoy spicy food but their salsa was a little more spicy than I could handle. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This place makes absolutely delicious food. The chips and salsa bar AMAZING TACOS are all different kinds of meats and delicious The customer service was so great. The young ladies are so sweet.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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
