Martha's Taco Shop

This is a great spot, especially for happy hour. The cocktails are excellent, the food is…read moredelicious, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. What sets this restaurant apart is that the menu feels a bit more refined and elevated than the typical Tex Mex offerings in the area. The dishes are thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor, making it a nice change from the usual options. We have only dined at the bar, where we've always received great service, but the restaurant appears to have a large dining room with plenty of seating. Between the quality food, creative cocktails, and attentive staff, this has become one of our favorite places to visit. We look forward to coming back again soon!

This small, strip center cafe is decorated authentically and the music is a nice touch. There is really a Mexican vibe. The service was outstanding as it should have been with only one customer.

But each one has fantastic flavor. This place will definitely get a return visit.

Menudo: was a little to greasy for my liking and the flavor was not 100% there like it was missing flavor - it wasn't nasty or anything it was just missing something i can't pinpoint but I love the chucks of meat in it . Sope de chicharrón: it was good! Chicharrón was not the greatest but it was good. The salsa needs to be a little more spicier Taco de cabeza: the meat was actually good! But the taco was a ay too small for the price! Taco size is for like a baby ! Little baby tacos! Street tacos tortillas are small but these are XS !!! Either bigger tortillas for the price or make the tacos a little cheaper! Guanajuatense taco: it was good! The grilled onions needed to be grilled more and the meat was good!

Sometimes it's just my husband and me grabbing a seat at the bar, and every single time the service is great and the food is consistently delicious. It's comfortable, welcoming, and always hits the spot. My husband always orders the beef fajitas--every single time--and my younger son does the same. My older son is all about the brisket tacos and swears by them. I usually go for the veggie fajitas, but sometimes I keep it simple with the bean and cheese nachos, which are oddly comforting and always so good. We've been coming here since the original location off 377, and when they moved to the bigger location, we happily followed. That alone says a lot. The quality has stayed consistent, and it still feels like a place you can count on. Like I said... I truly don't think I've ever said no to Los Mocajetes--and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Everything we ordered was delicious. The guacamole tasted super fresh, the queso was flavorful and came in a generous portion, and the salsa had just the right amount of kick without being too spicy. The only small hiccup was the chips situation--they give you big portions of guac, queso, and salsa, but the chips come in a tiny bowl. (Literally 10 chips) very sad for 6 people to fight over so little of chips. Not a huge deal, just a bit surprising. We also tried the margaritas--they had great flavor, though they tasted absent of tequila. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would definitely go back...maybe next time we bring our own chips! :)

If I could give La Fondita Mexican Restaurant six stars, I would legally change the rating system…read morejust to make it happen. Let me set the scene: I walked in expecting a casual meal and maybe a decent taco. What I got instead was a borderline spiritual awakening wrapped in foil and served with rice and beans. First of all -- the giant piña colada. When they say giant, they are not messing around. This thing arrived like it had its own gravitational pull. I'm pretty sure I saw a small family of tourists orbiting it. One sip and I was transported to a beach that doesn't even exist on any map -- coconutty, icy perfection with just enough kick to make me briefly consider texting my boss that I've moved to an island and won't be returning. Then came the beans. Listen carefully: I don't throw this word around lightly -- perfect. These beans were so good I genuinely paused mid-bite and just stared into the middle distance reevaluating my entire life. Creamy, rich, seasoned like someone's abuela whispered ancient secrets into the pot. I would trust these beans with my taxes, my passwords, and honestly my emotional well-being. And the corn tortillas... dear lord, the corn tortillas. I have had tortillas in many places, including at my own abuela's table -- and saying this feels like confessing a sin -- but these might be the best I've ever had besides abuela's. Warm, soft, slightly charred in all the right places, like they were handmade by someone who has been perfecting this craft since before I was born and possibly before electricity was invented. If I could build a house out of these tortillas, I would. I would live there. Happily. And then--just when I thought things couldn't escalate further--the huevos rancheros arrived. Eggs cooked to that perfect sweet spot where the yolk still has a little rebellion left in it, laid over a bed of everything that matters, all tied together with a sauce that refuses to be anything less than unforgettable. It's the kind of breakfast that makes you question why you ever settle for anything less in life. Comforting, bold, and somehow both rustic and wildly impressive at the same time. Everything else on the plate? Outstanding. Rice that actually deserves to be eaten and not just politely ignored. Salsa that sneaks up on you like, "oh this is nice--OH okay there it is." Service? Friendly, fast, and somehow emotionally supportive. Atmosphere? The kind of place where you immediately feel like a regular even if it's your first time. Final verdict: If you are anywhere within a 50-mile radius of Denton and you are not eating at La Fondita Mexican Restaurant, you are making a series of deeply questionable life choices. I came in hungry. I left changed.
