Went with a large group during a tournament weekend in between Soccer Games near by. When we first got there we were worried that there wouldn't be enough space... wrong! Tons of space for our group of 16. We ordered Sopes, Pozole, Tostadas, Tacos, Gorditas, Carne Asada. EVERY SINGLE THING THAT SAT ON OUT TABLE WAS DELICIOUS! The Agua de Pepino AMAZING! Is it bad that we can't wait for our next soccer game near by, just so that we can go back?! The service was also great! Side note: the bill is slightly cheaper if you pay with cash. 10/10 would recommend read more

From a chef, thats been eating and preparing authentic Mexican food on the border from Baja Norte & Baja Sur, to San Diego, to AZ, to TX: Just plain awful and beyond bland al pastor burritos: - No salt in anything so no flavor pops at all - Meat has next to no flavor - Salsa is literally flavorless, tastes like water mixed with capsaicin - Burritos are tiny for $9 even though menu says $8 - No cheese in burritos even though it's listed - Beans are pinto as if they're out of a can, not cooked down and refried with spices and fat as they're supposed to be - Guacamole is literally, I kid you not, significantly less than 10% avocado. Its just tomato, onion and cilantro with no more than a wisp like wipe of avocado. You literally cannot get any avocado on a spoon out of it if you tried- I tried- it was impossible - Spanish Rice is sorely lacking enough tomato - Scant amounts of each mediocre ingredient per burrito An absolute crime against Mexican food. How on earth this place sells anything, let alone to the Mexican community is utterly beyond me in a way I will never understand. I want you to know, this review is not written with any measure of anger- this is purely emotional unfathomable disappointment. In fact, I tried not to write any of this, because the staff are truly some of the absolute kindest and most endearing people I've ever met. But it had to be said. The food is nothing short of a tragedy. If staff reads this, please know I mean this all with no animosity towards any of you or your business. And to be frank, I would come in and provide recipes, demonstrations and training to the chefs completely free of charge, for no other reason than one, it honestly needs to happen even if Im not the one doing it, and two, I must restate that the people working here are some of the friendliest people on earth, and I would truly love to see all who work here succeed greatly, because people that wonderful deserve all the success in the world. Good luck guys. read more

Great, quick service and consistently delicious food! I ordered the chicken fajitas, which come with handmade corn tortillas that really elevate the dish, along with a steak quesadilla. To drink, I had aguas frescas de sandía y de pepino, both perfectly refreshing. Always a reliable spot for a tasty meal! read more

Taqueria Hernandez - Tacos, Chile Relleno plate and a large Horchata to cool it down. - Mexican Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Everything was good my only complaint really is that they were out of tortas (I'm assuming the bread) and the Al pastor didn't taste like anything but oil other than that the people were nice and everything else was good! They seemed to have a lot of regular customers, it seemed like every person that came in they knew by name which I liked! It's a little more run down than most places but like they say to never judge a book by its cover! Would have wished they had some sort of music playing it would get awkward in silence at times. read more

I am from the West Coast and I have been trying to find anything similar to West Coast Carne Asada, and they absolutely killed it here!!

Me and my friend came here for the first time today. The food was great but I ordered a michelada asked for dos xx in it when it came out it was dark and just straight tomato juice... I had to order another dos xx bottle and pour it in it just for it to taste like a actual michelada the waitress was looking at us crazy as soon as we got there and the whole time we were there. read more

Things finally thawed enough that I decided to try driving, but there were very few places open - Taqueria Hernandez was an exception. The ambiance is classic, old school taqueria. Their prices were excellent and right in line with other taquerias ~$2.50 per taco with the tacos being Mexican street style with 2 corn tortillas, cilantro, onions, radish and lime slices. I ordered pastor, barbacoa, bistec, chorizo, and lengua tacos as well as a gordita and a sope - everything to go. While I had taken orders from my family, it all fell apart once they started trying the tacos. The bistec was for my granddaughter as she is a picky eater, but before I had a chance to explain that, she grabbed the chorizo taco and would not relinquish it (I only got to try a few chorizo crumbs - which were excellent). I was thinking that with 7 pastor tacos, I should be able to claim my 3, but I only got 2 as they were quickly wiped out - very tasty! Fortunately, I got one of the barbacoas and that took care of me. The wasn't fast enough with my camera to capture the lengua before all 4 of them were devoured. The sope and gordita (pastor of course) were huge and an excellent value. I liked them, but my wife was not a fan of the gordita as it had some yellow cheese on it. The service was excellent and they made sure I had water while I was waiting. They also had beers and other things, but I couldn't partake as I had to drive. Taqueria Hernandez was full of nice people, and had great food at a very good value. I would like to go back and try some of their other offerings. If you like authentic Mexican food, you should try it - highly recommended. read more

Nothing ever comes correct, the last 2 times we have ordered and PAID for food we never received. Even asked the guy at the front if the elote was in there and he said yes. Go to Chilito Rojos instead, they don't forget your food every time and are actually amazing! read more

Went with a group of 6 and really enjoyed the food! Very family atmosphere and my enchiladas tasted freshly made! I'm not a refried beans person normally but these were excellent! I have no complaints and the owner was very welcoming and pleasant. Yes, I will go back again! read more

A winner the Taqueria Wars. Always friendly and delicious from this clean, hole in the wall. A good lunch with your coworkers or family. I keep coming back for the tacos with the top being: *Barbacoa delicious, moist and a little sweet *Pastor is fantastic. Lightly crisp and perfect flavor. *Lingua is very light, moist and easy. Not crispy. Menu is big enough with tacos, gorditas, tortas (only 3 meat options) , and even menudo, YUM! Nothing fancy with food your family would make. It's that delicious and I enjoy each visit. Gracias read more

Great authentic tacos. Wonderfully priced. Warm tortillas. Great presentation. About 2.19 a taco. Highly preferred over gourmet tacos; these at taqueria Hernandez are fulfilling but I would say order 4+ if you're hungry fr fr. They have fruit too so I believe they double with a fruiteria. I haven't tried that yet. My new fav taco spot & I'll be back soon. I bought a jarritos, 7 tacos (chicken and bistec) & spent $20 ($16 before adding the jarrito). The food came up quick enough while I waited. I can't wait wait to go back. read more

This hidden gem of a restaurant tucked away north of downtown mckinney is my new favorite authentic taco spot. Their sauces are so flavorful and the spicy orange one has some heat! The al pastor and steak tacos are my favorite. The service is good however a little difficult since I don't speak spanish. There was a nice man at the counter that spoke english and took our order though. Will come again as the quality, authenticity and price were great. Did not take pics of the food since I devoured them so fast! read more

Found this hidden gem thanks to Yelp and am very glad I did! Located in east Mckinney, it's a small little restaurant next door to a gas station. My husband and I both enjoyed the red enchilada plate, with rice and beans. Only complaint was food wasn't hit when served, just slightly warm. Warning cheese inside enchiladas isn't melted, it's crushed cojita cheese, but they were very yummy. We also enjoyed a few tacos, all pastor and barbacoa, both were good as well. We shared a bistec Gordita and all though it was crunchy (which I love) it was a bit on the bland side. Definitely a place to try and already looking forward to our next 7/15 Tried the fried potato tacos, they are amazing. read more

Great Mexican food at great prices. I personally had a little trouble ordering as I don't speak Spanish but that speaks to the authenticity.

Authentic food and awesome service!! Ambiance is what you expect from a taqueria and we love it!!

I've been coming since a child, I recommend this place for the horchata and bistec tacos, they're getting pretty stingy with how much meat they put in. But everything is good. Definitely should give it a go! read more

Terrible customer service and way to expensive for what you get, the food was not very good and the portions are small.Ghetto ambiance, it looks like they live upstairs and they have like 5 tips/donation boxes, really money hungry i even got charged a service fee just to eat here. read more

The best authentic Mexican food in town affordably priced and the food is super fresh and delicious. I recommend the enchiladas

My brother in law swears by this place. My brother in law phoned his mother and asked her to specifically bring me to this place for some authentic Mexican Gorditas and Sopes. He said, "John, you have to try this place for yourself and the tell me what you think." I have tried this place several times and now I will share with everyone what I think. According to their menu (http://taqueriahernandez.letseat.at/menu), "a gordita is best described as a thick corn tortilla pocket stuffed with beans and choice of meat. A sope is a thick tortilla with beans, choice of meat, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Traditionally, both items are garnished with sliced lettuce, sour cream, and crumbled cheese (cotija)." As a disclaimer, every time I eat at Taqueria Hernadez, I will only order Sopes and Gorditas. Not because I don't want to try other things on the menu but because this is a specific dish that takes time and is done exceptionally well. The taste of both gorditas and sopes is out of this world. Both sopes and gorditas are consistently crunchy and soft at the same time. You try to describe your first bite and do it justice. Every single bite you take is packed with tons of flavor. Don't forget to be adventurous and try one of their three in-house salsas (light green, green, and red). I usually order three items and they are enough to satisfy my appetite (either two gorditas and one sope or vice versa, two sopes and one gordita). If you are skeptical, try either a sope or gordita individually for yourself. Finally, the handful of times that I have been here (late afternoon on a weekday, and early evening on a weekend), there is always a crowd. If you are starving, be prepared to wait. The service is not slow, good fodo takes time. Don't be impatient and miss out on this authentic Mexican cuisine experience. read more

I love hair in my food, workers who lie to my face and insult me in their native language thinking I don't understand. COVID concerns: No, the workers AND chef did not wear face masks, but customers are required to wear one upon entering. That should've been our cue to leave. I also noticed that the workers didn't immediately clean up a table once the party left. Tacos: I got my usual chicken and barbacoa tacos. Barbacoa was a tad too oily for my taste, it seemed like the barbacoa was quickly put together rather than sitting in the marinade, and it didn't pull apart as it should've. I had a hair in one of my chicken tacos so I tossed both of them. Environment: Skeeeetch..tooown Service: 3 main issues. (1) As we were waiting for our order, I heard the guy who took our order joke with another worker, calling me a "dumb Chinese" - first of all, what...the absolute...fck? On July 13th, 2020 at approximately 7 PM, Kacie's DNA has been verbally altered and the blood that courses through her veins is now 100% pure Chinese. Kacie is now and forever "dumb" cause she was a little indecisive while ordering. Even though she really wasn't given any suggestions. (2) After doing a brief check of my order, I asked if I could get more onions and cilantro on the side. The audacity - this man goes "we don't do that here. We can give you some for $5". Hold up, hold up, hold up. First of all, I've seen photos and reviews of this place, not a single person mentioned FIVE DOLLARS for something that always comes with street tacos? (3) We drove to our next stop and decided to eat the tacos in the car before finishing up our errands. I do my usual "the camera eats first" and noticed a short black hair all tucked underneath the pathetic amount of onions and cilantro on one of my tacos (photo provided). Haven't eaten somewhere this shtty in a very very long time. read more

Taqueria Hernandez - Bistec Taco - Mexican Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Great authentic Mexican food. The tacos are awesome. My wife loves the pozole. Turning into a Sunday tradition.

I'm honestly very disappointed and dissatisfied I took a chance and chose to try out Taqueria Hernandez I ordered pastor and bistec tacos but after trying them all I can say is the meat itself had little to no flavor! It pretty much tasted as if it was only seasoned with salt and pepper.... I received a red and green salsa I thought maybe they'd make the tacos taste better or at least give the tacos some flavor but all I can say is the salsa had as much flavor as the tacos. Overall don't bother spending your money here unless you like unseasoned bland food. read more

I ordered from this location for my husband's 30th birthday! We catered meat by the pound and it fed 20 people! Ordered in advance and their sauces are the bomb! This place is humble and my favorites go to when he gets off work! read more

food was good. The man who took our order was rude, rushed us only to take our order wrong. Also made a big deal that he didn't mess up our order when he did. I feel like he just wanted to argue. As we were leaving he was shouting at us that we owe him money for the missing food item that he failed to annotate correctly. It wouldn't have been a problem to pay, but he decided to be rude about it. read more
