Great food and service! Best Tex mex in Denison! Been eating here for years! Love the chips and salsa too

Saturday we went over to Kent's Tex-Mex. And it was very good. There was a young man that waited on us that was one of the nicest servers I have ever had wait on our table. He was so friendly and waited on us as if we were the only people there even though it was very busy. All of the staff were very nice and friendly. The food was great and you will not be hungry when you leave there as the portions were huge. And the restaurant was crowded but even with the crowd it was not too loud and I had a great time. read more

WOW!!! 10/10. Amazing service, food was the best TexMex we have had in a long time! You won't be disappointed! I would have taken a picture but it was so damn good we inhaled it before I even thought twice. The Guacamole is literally the best ever! read more

Food was amazingly awesome! Service was excellent and fast. I must go back for the sopapilla bites, unfortunately my grandson ate all of them. We got him a takeout order but the sopapillas was for sharing. read more

This place is awesome. I had your typical cheese enchiladas with queso on top and they were great. My friend had their chicken fried steak and he really liked it. I am getting that next time back! Also the service was great!Definitely recommend! read more

Stopped by this location for my daughters birthday with party of about 18 to 20 people. This is probably one of the hardest reviews Ive done to this point. The only reason for the three stars is the food and the staff. Food was absolutely delicious and not one person out of our party had anything bad to say about the food. We even had a KAREN in our group and she was bragging about the food... Staff was very nice and helpful and did an amazing job with our group. Drinks stayed full and the chips and salsa stayed full. Ok now that you have heard the good let me give you the not so good. The A/c in this place was nonexistent ( yea I know it's Texas and I'm a fat guy but wow it was hottt). We asked the staff to turn on one of the probably 20 ceiling fans and they stated it would only make it hotter. Then the bathrooms OMG, no A/C had a floor fan to keep the heat down but wow close your mouth when you walk in... Jokes aside it was bad from the walls having poop or chocolate pudding smeared down the wall. Place has great food and friendly staff but the overall is not great, owner should definitely step up and fix the cleaning of the restrooms and do something with the A/C you don't want to spend the money you work hard for with sweat running into your food. read more

Food was decent. Ordered a Crown & Coke $8, sent it back. Small drink and tasted only fountain coke!

Great Tex Mex!! enchiladas delicious and nachos are loaded! Really good margaritas! Wish they were open on Sunday

KENT'S Has the best Tex-Mex food in Texoma. Ask for Evelyn she is excellent at taking care of her customers.

Food is delicious. Keep coming back for the chicken fajita quesadillas! Chicken tortilla soup is some of the best around!!

It was totally amazing service. And Food was GREAT ....PLACE CLEAN waitress was very on point with everything .looking very forward to taking my family and going back read more

Has good salsa and servers are super sweet! It's a family atmosphere! I have eaten cheese enchiladas and their tamales and recommend! My daughter got the a quesadilla and said it was the best one she has had in Texoma read more

I upped my star rating because, this has became our favorite place! Service is exceptional and so is the food. This place gets crowded for a reason! read more

This is true Tex-Mex. I've never been disappointed here. The food is good and fresh, and the Service is excellent. Lily is my favorite waitress, and you can't beat the price. read more

Excellent service, our waitress was attentive and pleasant. The menu has a good variety of entrees. My daughter ordered the chicken quesadilla dinner , my wife the chicken enchilada dinner, my mother-in-law ordered the Laredo entree. I had the cheese enchiladas meal. Our drinks were basic, water or tea, though I ordered coffee. We did not wait long, our meals arrived very hot! The food was plentiful too, quite tasty too. My only reservation was the carne sauce on my enchiladas, next time I'll ask for a traditional red sauce. This was our first time back in a long while, as we live 400 miles southwest of Denison, though we have frequented this establishment for nearly forty years at all of its locations! read more

Kent''s is the old Garcias, an institution in Denison. Same great recipes. Food is quality and Lily is the best sever in town - an institution herself. read more

Despite the friendly waitress, this was a disappointing experience. Everything seemed like it came off a steam table. Soggy texture and fake tasting cheese. No thank you. read more

I was SO EXCITE to try Kent's. I've passed by multiple times and it seems like they usually have a pretty decent amount of cars in their lot, so I was expecting something good. I was pretty durn wrong. The chips are bland, seriously like cardboard. The salsa has to be Pace Picante, has to be. It's a jarred salsa of some type (it's Pace, gotta be). Our meals looked great, but taste was a different story. Rice was bland, beans were ok, but kinda bland. The beef quesadilla was good, flautas were bland. The guacamole seems fresh, so there's that. Overall, a pretty underwhelming meal. I guess at least is wasn't greasy, like most Tex Mex in Texoma. :( Our waitress was super nice, but not super attentive. We didn't go without drinks, just mentioning it because some people want their waitress to check on them every 10 mins... we are not those people, she was perfect for us. The clientele seems to be an older crowd, so maybe that's why things don't have any salt? LOL! I mean, Matlock was playing on their TV... so... If you're on a low sodium (or low flavor) diet, this place is right up your alley! read more

We really liked this place. The enchiladas are great. The service was excellent. We will go back.

The hostess sat us at a table where the AC was leaking and spitting out water on us. They allowed us to switch tables. Ordered queso but the waitress forgot and we had to remind her...our food got there before the queso showed up. The food was a little bland and not much taste to it. The fajita chicken meat had a good flavor to it but that is about it. Took a while for a drink refill. Not really impressed by this dining experience...probably will not return. read more

Food great and service was exceptional. Tex-mex and Chicken fried steaks! Go and enjoy

My wife and I were looking for someplace we had not tried before. Going from TMC and heading back to OK we went through Denison and saw Kent's. Looks like an old building, but there were several cars in the parking lot so we decided to try it. We are so glad we did. My wife had the chicken fajita quesadillas and I had the beef fajita enchiladas, both were very good. The service was fast and attentive. The only issue we had was with the chips and questions. The chips were thicker than we like and very small. The queso was just so so. All in all we were very pleased and will be back read more

A definite hometown favorite, as my family and I have been eating here since I was a youngin'. This is the third installment of what was once Garcia's. It's good, but not as good as it was the first go-round (in the old El Chico on Austin Avenue/Business 75). With that said, everything on the menu is fresh and tasty. Enchiladas, quesadillas, tacos, fajitas... you're good with any of those. And the chips and salsa? They're a must! Great for to-go orders, too! read more

Pace picante was aiight. Kept my water glass full, so that was appreciated. Otherwise, no. Just no. read more

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! Thanks Gomer for the intro .... well, it was a surprise to eat at Kent's again. We had eaten here a few years ago and were underwhelmed. We ate there Sunday with a large group. Everyone was impressed not only with the service and atmosphere but with the food. The cheese enchiladas were perfect, cheesy, right amount of chili, really good. Taco salad was huge, shareable. Saw enchiladas with eggs on a couple of plates and it looked great. Only plate that was lacking was what looked like a chicken finger salad without any dressing. The diner who ordered it said "never ordering it again and it was not what was expected". I'm thinking they meant to order chicken fajita salad. All in all a good, reasonably priced meal served to a large group, handled very well by an accomplished wait staff. read more

As far as Tex-Mex goes, Kent's does a pretty good job. Good, greasy greatness. However, the most annoying aspect of this restaurant is its propensity to be randomly closed. I've been once and liked it. Two other times I've tried, they've been closed. Once was a vacation. This is the problem with being from the Dallas area and moving up here. So many of these local restaurants are either closed on Sunday, Monday, sometimes Tuesdays, or randomly for vacations. As this area grows with Dallas suburbanites, and the older local crowds die off, the expectation for these restaurants will be that they're open every day except holidays. read more

Good Tex-Mex, they offer nice size portions and it is great tasting food. Friendly staff also.

Very decent place, good food and better than most Tex-Mex restaurants in the area. Try the three enchiladas.

From out of town and went to dinner here last week. The place doesn't look like all that much inside or out but don't hesitate to go in. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was better than average Tex Mex fare. I'll be back. read more

Some of the food is good Tex- Mex and others taste out of a can... I see the failure of Kent's previous businesses are due to not hiring professional staff and retaining them and will doom this new venture... Rude high schoolers who ask you "How was everything?" and you respond with a comment about the beans being too salty...and the reply is "Well, I didn't make the beans!!... Never going back... read more

This place is good. Service is some of the most consistent I've had. With the mismatch chairs and seating it feels a little unfinished. Good menu with plenty of options for everyone. With queso usually being everyone's go to when first sitting down. Theirs leaves something to be desired. With that being the first impression it can start the meal off on the wrong foot. Salsa is quite good tho, just enough heat. This being said it has been able to stay in the line up of Mexican restaurants my family and I visit. Keep in mind there are ALOT of options in our area. read more

I wasn't expecting too much with the 3 1/2 star rating, but what a great surprise! Service was fast and efficient and the food was delicious! We had chicken quesadillas. I couldn't finish mine, but I wanted to. Chips and salsa were nice too. We'll definitely come back next time we're in Denison! read more

Went there for the first and last time today. Food was not well seasoned. Prices were on the high side for most dishes. Ate very little and relayed my displeasure to wait staff. No compensation was offered. read more

My husband and I ate at Kent's for the first time last week. Service was ok. Everyone very friendly, but absolutley was taken back when we tried our food. My husband ordered the Chimichanga with chili con carne sauce, I ordered cheese enchiladas with chili con carne . Our meal came out in sufficient time, presentation was good, but the sauce was so bland and it actually looked like spaghetti sauce without the tomatos in it. It was a very runny, greasy sauce. The cheese in the enchiladas was very hard, tough, and leathery. The chips were good, the hot sauce is Pace picante sauce. Not real Mexican food, or even Tex-Mex. read more

Loved the food. Perfect for what I was looking for. We went on a Sunday and they helped our big party (8) find a perfect seat. I ordered cheese enchiladas and they were amazing. Will definitely be going back! read more

This has to be by far the best Te x-Mex restaurant in Texoma. Great portions, fair price. The place is always clean the staff if top notch. Our waitress has been working here almost 30 years. All I can say you would have a hard time finding something to complain about. read more

1st time here. Excellent Service and the food was very good. Price was very reasonable. I tried a taco, cheese enchilidas, and flautas to get the flavor of the meat and chicken. Great. Taco meat was not too spicy, very simple with lots of flavor and the fixins for a taco. Thought I would be brave and try their margarita, I was pleasantly surprised at the cost and how great it tasted. I added Sangria to mine. Definitely a do over at this place. read more

I really loved Garcias when they were in Denison. And I'm so happy that Kent opened this place back up. Their queso is truly delicious and one of a kind. Their chicken fajita nachos are singled out on each chip instead of a pile on like most mexican restaurants in the area. My favorite dish here though, is the chicken fajita chimichanga, with queso and sour creme sauce. Food is always hot and served fast. Their salsa is good, but a little too much like Pace to me. But overall a great texmex place. read more

Kent's Tex-Mex - This is my favorite dinner there. It's a chicken fajita chimichanga smothered in queso and sour creme sauce. So good! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Denison, Texas

Best rellenos in the world! Every thing else is pretty much average. They're the only thing worth the price, but they are definitely worth it. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and got a chance at lunch today. I was disappointed. I think I had the Mexican Dinner but don't remember for sure. It came with a beef enchilada, beef taco, and cheese enchilada, with beans and rice. The beef enchilada was ok. The cheese enchilada was VERY chewy. The beef on the taco was very bland and the shell was a little stale. The best thing on the plate was the rice and that's just because I dumped a $5 cup of queso on it. Anyway, my lunch was almost $18. I'm disappointed because I walked in wanting to like this place! read more
