    Let's start with the positives- It is BEAUTIFUL inside. Like GORGEOUS. The vibes are amazing. The music is awesome. They got the nuances down for Mexican culture in this way. The drinks were also good! Now- the food. I hate to say this but it was very white washed mediocre Mexican food. And I had such high hopes because of how beautiful the inside was. The queso fundido was the best thing we got. But everything else was just "meh". Then we got the tres leches for dessert and it wasn't even wet which sealed the deal for me. It's acceptable, but you can go two blocks around the corner and get GOOD Mexican food.

    We stopped in for drinks and chips and salsa, so I can only speak to that part of the experience, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. Cooper (Coop) was a fantastic bartender, very friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. He kept the water, chips, and salsa coming and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. I ordered the blackberry frozen margarita and it was incredible, topped with a fresh blackberry. My husband tried both the house frozen and the spicy margarita. The spicy margarita was tasty but seemed a little small for the price. The frozen margaritas, however, were larger and definitely worth it. The chips were hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The salsa had great flavor with just the right amount of kick, and the warm, creamy black bean dip was a nice bonus. Although we didn't order food, the shrimp fajitas at the bar next to us looked absolutely delicious, with huge shrimp, fresh vegetables, and all the fixings. The decor is beautiful, and the space is large enough to accommodate a lot of guests. Prices are a bit higher than our usual Tex-Mex spot, but the atmosphere, service, and quality make it worth a visit. We'll definitely be back, especially for happy hour or food specials. Every employee we encountered was warm and welcoming. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!

    I went here with a few friends for a happy hour Mexican spot and I'm so pleased by my experience! I got the blackened fish with veggies and rice, which was absolutely delicious. Our server was so kind and there were plenty of places for us to take pictures as well. The chops were very flavorful and the portion sizes were very big! I absolutely loved the interiors of this place. They had so many spots where you could take pictures with friends or enjoy the scenery of Denton. I look forward to coming back here soon!

    Chimichanga with mole sauce

    Excellent food. I had the chimichanga with chipotle beef and mole sauce and it was fantastic. Chips were great, salsa has a chipotle flavor that was great. Highly recommend and will come back.

    This spot hit all the high notes for me! Location is great: you're right on the square in downtown Denton. There's plenty of surrounding parking that's a quick walk from the restaurant. The vibe inside is immaculate and extremely photo-worthy! It was decorated vibrantly and really made the atmosphere fun. We were seated quickly and had a great server. She was friendly and attentive and really made our experience that much better. When we were sat, the host provided our chips and salsa, so there was no delay. The salsa had a fair amount of heat and was really tasty overall. The chips are seasoned which always elevates it for me, especially when you can get chips and salsa from just about every restaurant that serves Mexican food. These were definitely above par! My fish tacos were delicious. I especially loved that they were grilled and came with pineapple. The black beans and rice were also a great addition to the meal. Overall, we were really happy with this spot and will definitely be adding it to our rotation!

    This is all I got a pic of. It was so good I didn't get any pics lol.

    The mango margarita is very good and the chips are addictive. I'm sharing a plate with my husband .. annachera fajitas - medium rare. They were so good I forgot to take a pic. Then we had the quatros leche cake and it was divine. If you don't consume a lot , sharing a fajita plate here is the perfect amount of food. It was diving. Will be back.

    Crudo del dia
    Christy G.

    Mexican Oak is a beautiful restaurant! It is a Dia de los Muertos theme. They offer authentic Mexican food. That being said, (unlike most authentic Mexican restaurants) they do offer complimentary chips, salsa, & bean dip. Reservations are accepted, but not required. We were promptly greeted and seated. Service was friendly, professional, and attentive. Our table ordered the crudo del dia, tortillas soup, and enchiladas de short rib w/a mole type sauce. We also ordered a Tex-Mex queso, which was just a test item on their menu. If you want authentic Mexican cheese dip, they do offer queso fundido. The rice was mushy, but everything else was delicious. All of the food was nicely presented. It was Dallaa prices in Denton (read pricey for Denton). It's a great place for a date night or outing to impress.

    drinks and queso
    Ralph B.

    This restaurant on the corner of the square in Denton offers a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere and good food. We had not been here before but were in the area and decided to drop in. It was midafternoon, but the lunch menu was still in effect, although it was not given to us by the hostess. Our server suggested it and he ws right to do so because the prices are much better. My wife and I each ended up doing a three taco/enchilada plate combo for $14.00. Not huge tacos or enchiladas, but good size for the price. My choices were cheese enchilada (good), chicken enchilada (really packed full of excellent shredded chicken with an outstanding sauce, and shrimp taco (by far the highlight, full of flavor and plenty of shrimp). My wife selected shirt rib enchilada (excellent flavor and lean meat), shrimp taco, and chicken taco (the same well-seasoned shredded chicken as my enchilada). Both meals came with rice and beans. We also had a side of queso which was good but not special. I thought the chips that came with the meal along with the salsa were very high quality. They also came with an outstanding warm mole that really stood out. In the world of Tex-Mex everything was above average from ambiance, décor, service and food. I also had a Union Bear Mexican Lager (bottled but poured into a chilled glass, and my wife had a Frida Cuvee, a very nice drink from the menu. Would not make it a planned trip into Denton downtown to visit Mexican Oak, but would certainly go back if plans to be in the area and in the mood for Tex-Mex.

    This was my first time here and I absolutely loved everything. The service was amazing, the drinks were strong and not watered down, and the food *chefs kiss* I will be back.

    10/10!!... everything about this experience was really nice. From service, food, ambiance, and drinks. The service was really good. I hate that I forgot the server's name (something to similar to Sydney) but she was fantastic. The food was so flavorful and came out in a timely manner. The prickly pear margarita was yum!! I already began planning the next trip back before I left.

    Grabbed lunch here on a Tuesday. Nice decor indoors and service was pretty quick. I ordered the red fish and it was ok but not very flavorful. The rice and beans were good and so were the corn tortillas.

    My husband and I went to Graffiti Pasta for the first time recently...and OMG - it was so good…read more The restaurant has an unassuming storefront that is easy to miss when just walking by, but when you step inside - be prepared for a warm, colorful dining experience. We made reservations. They probably were not needed for the night we were there, but I could see this place filling up quickly on some nights. The restaurant has a cozy retro vibe with MTV videos playing behind the bar and splashes of color throughout. Our server was super friendly and attentive, and the speed of the service was fantastic! Graffiti Pasta specializes in unique, delicious cocktails. There are no beers on tap (just cans), and my husband would have liked to have Peroni on tap even if that were the only choice. I enjoyed two of their cocktail which were both excellent. Our food was delicious and just the right amount of food. We left the restaurant satisfied without feeling like gluttons. Their stuffed mushrooms with filled with a creamy ricotta, the Banksy's Baked Ziti was delicious, and the homemade spaghetti was a special treat. I loved the build your own pasta options, And OMG at their rolls! SO good! Everything was wonderful and truly made for a great dining experience. It might have taken a while for us to find Graffiti Pasta...but we will definitely be back soon!

    Carbs have never been this much fun…read more Graffiti Pasta is one of my favorite comfort food spots in Denton. The atmosphere is colorful, upbeat, and full of personality, making it just as fun as the food itself. The house-made pasta is absolutely worth the hype. You can taste the difference, and every bowl is fresh, flavorful, and the kind of meal that has you planning your next visit before you've finished this one. Great food, great vibes, and all the carbs your heart could ever want. What's not to love?

    Wild Cactus Cantina & Grill is a pretty cool spot to hang out, grab some drinks, and get some food…read morewith friends. We came here with a group, and the whole setup worked really well for just sitting around, talking, and having a good time. I probably wouldn't come here absolutely starving though. A lot of the menu is smaller dishes and à la carte items, so it's more of a place to grab some food while you're having drinks and hanging out. I had the beef birria taco plate with rice and beans, and it was enough to fill me up, but I definitely wasn't stuffed afterward. The chips and salsa were really good. The salsa has a decent kick to it, but apparently not enough to slow me down because I went through two baskets of chips and two ramekins of salsa. Our server was great. She checked on us regularly, made sure we had everything we needed, and kept the drinks from sitting empty for long. The atmosphere was probably my favorite part. They have regular tables and chairs, but also couches and comfy chairs, so it's easy to settle in and stay awhile without feeling rushed. Overall, Wild Cactus is a great place for some drinks, good conversation, and a little food along the way. Just don't show up expecting a giant dinner.
