Well, Taqueria Monterrey can bring you the flavors you are missing and while you can't quite escape to explore an exotic location you can take a culinary trip down memory lane and enjoy some fantastic food from very friendly people. My favorite location is off Mayhill and I35 read more

I ordered the whole fish and it was dried out and tough! Way over cooked, could barely eat it. The rice was salty and the beans had no flavor. What happened. U use to have good food. I would highly recommend getting a cook that takes pride in their work. Won't be going back anytime soon. If I didn't get it to go I would have sent it back and requested a refund. read more

This is my favorite place to get flautas in Denton. The salsa verde is very good slightly spicy but nothing unbearable. I don't like their rice it's a little dry so, I opt out of order them. The service her is great and everyone is friendly. The only thing is they are a little pricey. read more

Taqueria Monterrey - 16. Flautas de Pollo - Mexican Near Me - Denton, Texas

how was i missing the asada in my asada burrito im irritated every thing else was good but that really blew me

One of the best taquerias around. They never miss with the taco plate. The rice is delectable and should be a crime to eat. The wait is never long with accurate service. I will always recommend this place. read more

I keep getting bored eating the same thing and the menudo was not fresh ! The service is great i think... i havent been there in a while :(

Perfect place for an authentic lunch or dinner. Very casual. No drinks. A lotta food for the price.

For a cold day I ordered a caldo de res just right for the time. To my surprise the caldo did not have a good smell. All the meat was so greasy and had more fat than meat. Caldo was the worst I have had. Not satisfied at all. read more

Always a great option for legit Mexican street food. Tacos are always good and the carne asada is probably my favorite. Th rajas are a close second. Normally I like nopal tacos but these are doused in a red sauce that I just didn't dig as much. On our last visit I ordered the hawaiana torta which has tons of meat and is huge! I only ate half. Had a side of beans and rice and it's perfect. I think the rice is very well done. We've been here three or four times now and every time it's been very consistent. read more

I got super drunk here. I had a nice night with my hubby. Would come back here to drink more

This taqueria is amazing. They always have good service, the quality is always consistent, it's surprisingly affordable considering how good it is and there has never been a long wait even when they are busy. So far I've only tried various tacos, you can get them with either flour or corn. I typically don't like corn tortillas but their corn tortillas are amazing. They also ask if you want cilantro and onions. It's no brainer to me but there are some that apparently don't like cilantro like my wife so I'm glad they ask so you have the option to get it without cilantro. I have tried most of their tacos, my favorite by far is asada. Al pastor, barbacoa and chorizo. I haven't had tacos this good anywhere else and I have had a lot of tacos. I tried the huevos rancheros while it was good it didn't wow me like their tacos does. This is a must-try restaurant if you like tacos. read more

Grabbed some tacos, quesadillas, a torta and some drinks. Ordering was super easy and quick. Food came out relatively fast and service was awesome. No issues with missing or wrong items. The tacos came with a potato, cooked pepper, grilled onions, likes and salsa. Which was a nice surprise. I enjoyed every bit of it. Food was very filling. Location is in a mini mall behind a gas station. Very authentic food, and you don't have to speak Spanish to order. Very much enjoyed everything we got. Prices were decent and food was filling. read more

Taqueria Monterrey - Mexican Near Me - Denton, Texas

Because it was National Taco Day, we decided to celebrate by coming here, however they didn't really have any deals going on for it. I decided to get two tacos, one chorizo and one pastor. Both were good, but I think I've had better. The tacos were kinda overpriced too because my total for two tacos was $3.72 which isn't worth it. I tried their elotes and they make it different from what Im used to. They didn't add any mozzarella cheese and it was kinda liquidy. They have churros and cheesecake which I would probably want to try if I came back, but overall the price isn't worth the food. read more

Taqueria Monterrey - Pastor & chorizo tacos on corn tortillas. - Mexican Near Me - Denton, Texas

I haven't been to this location in about 3 years or so. There are two simple and innocent reasons for why I don't come more often. First, I'm usually on my way somewhere and not hungry when I'm at this intersection. Also, their second store is much closer to my usual route and I've been content with frequenting that spot. However, stopping by on a Saturday morning just after 10am reminded me of all the things this location has to offer! First, for those of you passing through, this location is super easy for getting on and off I35 without disrupting your trip too much. It's next to the Care Now and behind the Dickey's in the corner of the strip. Second, this taqueria has a better layout and is less crowded with their seating, so it has a more relaxed atmosphere. Also, they have about four tables out front in a patio area. It's not covered, so that will depend on the weather. It is shaded in the mornings due to the height of the building. This location is extremely fast and that's actually harder to find in a taqueria setting, so they get major props for that! People had to go orders ahead of me and I still got my food within 5 minutes. I ordered the taco plate, which is my go to at both locations, and a medium agua fresca. With tax, this came out to exactly $10. I ordered the asada, pastor and carnitas. All 3 are executed a little better here than at the one on University, but it's just minor things. The asada is less chewy, the pastor is less greasy and the carnitas aren't as dry. The seasoning was on point for all 3, as I would expect from either location. Even the potato that comes with the plate is a little more flavorful. The beans, rice and agua fresca are about the same, which is to say very good and flavorful. I regret not getting the barbacoa. As we had stopped in on a whim, and a very nice lady was immediately ready to help me, I ordered off the top of my head as I scanned the list of meats. What I should have done is ordered the barbacoa. The barbacoa at the second location is the best I've had in Denton and I've never had it from here. Judging from everything else on this visit, I bet it would have been just as outstanding if not more so! They had 6 agua fresca's ready to go. I went with the Jamaica and it was quite good. They also had breakfast tacos stocked on the counter for grab and go. They have fountain drinks and bottled drinks and ready made desserts available as well. This Taqueria Monterrey is extremely organized and clean, I really like it a lot. It's a great stop for solid food and I'm glad I got a nice reminder of that with delicious agua fresca, yummy rice and above average, well seasoned meats. A 4 1/2 star experience that deserves to be rounded up for speed and service because you can see they are more prepared than many of the other local taquerias around. read more

OK, so If you want a HUGE menu of options, this is your place! If you are looking for delicious, authentic, Mexican food, this is Definately your place! And if you are looking for a friendly, fast service restaurant to grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner certainly stop in here. I will admit, I passed by many times before I finally stopped. For no other reason than........ well, I don't really know. I just never stopped. I wish I had. I pulled in here hoping to grab some tacos that I could eat on the road and what I walked in to find was like a food Disney Land! I couldn't believe the options they had. Service was extremely prompt so I recommend looking up their menu ahead of time otherwise, you may make a quick decision and just tell them to give you one of many things ( I almost did this but stopped myself and stuck to the tacos on the road plan)..... and because I love pastries, I had them throw in one of those churros too. I topped it off with a cup of the aqua frescas de pina. I chose my old favorite tacos, Al Pastor. I was shocked at how fast my order was ready. There were so many customers coming in for pick up orders as well as patrons coming to dine in yet it seemed like I was the only one because I was in and out so quickly. I got out to the car and was extremely pleased with what less than $10 got me. Wow! Refried beans and rice, three tacos stuffed with onions, cilantro, grilled onions. a roasted jalepeno, even a potato. Everything was about as perfect as you could get. The tacos came with two sauces, a red and a green. The red had a little kick to it but wasn't overpowering. The green was very flavorful and added a nice finish to the tacos. Oh, and with the spritz of lime that they also provided, those tacos tasted like I was on the streets of Mexico. And if you've never been, you must experience this culinary journey someday. I will say, I have a favorite taqueria in East Texas that I have frequented for nearly 2 decades now and I still have never found one that I like better, but this one is REALLY good. And close to as good of a value. Now to the best part. The Churro and the Aqua Fresca. Both were heavenly! The Aqua Fresca tasted just like homemade and the Churro, well, I'm glad I didn't dine in because I most certainly would have gotten a few more to take with me. If you have done as I did many times and drove by here without stopping, don't do that any longer. Stop in and grab a quick, quality bite to eat. You won't be disappointed. read more

The food is GREAT! The service is totally trash. The young lady in the front needs an attitude check because that funky attitude she wears on her absolutely SUCKS ! She has no respect and her customer service sucks . Overall food is good but I won't be coming back after today. read more

I'm sorry but this place was not good. I got a variety of meats in tacos and gorditas along with an elote. I got barbacoa, asada, carnitas, lengua, pastor, & guisada. Out of all the meats I ordered, the barbacoa was the only good one. I can't even say the elote was good either. Just overall disappointing. read more

This is my favorite place for authentic Mexican food. Their chicken chile rellenos are beyond amazing! I've recommended this restaurant to many people. I absolutely love it! The only reason I'm rating 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service is not as friendly as it used to be. It used to be really great! It has been reported to me that the employees do not get to keep their tips (owners keep them), so I'm sure that does affect work ethic. The bathrooms are also really gross. Women's toilet doesn't flush. Men's bathroom floor has pee everywhere (come on men..... you're old enough to be potty trained). read more

I work nearby TM and have always wanted to try their food in the past, but they always seem to be too busy to visit. During a late lunch break and my 2nd time at TM, it was peaceful and quiet and I was the only customer there... I ordered 2 items. A Bistek Mexicana w/ corn tortilla and 3 Tacos. The Bistek was marvelous and delicious. I like that TM cuts their meat to bite size and the seasoning was right on. Their prices weren't too bad either. This is my new place for a quick lunch break from now on. I've also tried their sopas with beef and corn (delicious). Will definitely return during my breaks. read more

I've had Taqueria Monterrey bookmarked for quite a while and I finally stopped in for lunch. I've since been back a second time so I am ready for a review: Getting anywhere in Denton these days is always a factor in where I decide to eat. I am happy to say that getting to Taqueria Monterrey is relatively easy now that traffic seems to be a bit better around State School road. There is plenty of parking available in its location behind the Quick Trip gas station across from Regional Hospital. I was impressed at the spacious size of the dining area. I expected there to be only a few tables with most of the business being take-out but its actually a good-sized eating area with plenty of tables and booths in a very comfortable setting. You walk in and head towards the back to a counter with a large menu on the wall that shows images of all their offerings. Both times I visited there was no line at the counter and about half of the tables were occupied. I was greeted as I approached the counter by very nice employees who were pleasant and in no rush which allowed me to consider all the menu options. The menu has a good range of options to choose from with a good variety, from fish to enchaladas to soups. They have self-serve fountain drinks and a refrigerator/cooler unit with canned sodas and Jarritos bottles. They also have a few dessert items at the counter such as honey buns and packaged pastries. On both visits I ordered tacos. They have a three taco plate that comes with rice & beans and a five taco plate with no sides. You can also order single tacos. You pick your carne and flour or corn tortillas. The corn tortillas are double-layered and the tacos are on the smaller size so don't hesitate to get a few extra. My taco varieties: #1 : Carnitas = shredded roasted pork. It's basically like pulled pork. I think this is my favorite. The pork was extremely tender, juicy, and flavorful. It was great with a bit of salt and salsa added. #2 : Barbacoa = shredded beef, similar to chopped brisket. This was a close second to the carnitas. It was very tender and moist with a distinct beef flavor. Definitely a must-try. #3 : Asada = basically it's diced up beef fajita meet. Very good. I will order at least one of these every time. The meat was nice and almost chewy/crispy since it had a lot of surface area due to the small bits of around the size of a jelly bean. I also tried Al Pastor and Pollo which were pretty good but I would not choose them over those three ^ on a three taco plate. They are definitely worth getting on a five taco plate. I also order chips and salsa which were probably the best chips and salsa I've ever had since eating chips at Julio T. Garcia's house when I was a kid. The chips were super fresh and still warm from the fryer. The salsa had the perfect amount of kick with a great balance of flavors. I poured the extra salsa on my tacos and I ended up eating the rest of it straight with a spoon. I am definitely making this my default place for Mexican food. It's so good, the price is great, and the dining experience is quick, easy, and comfortable. Plus, there is so much on the menu that you look forward to going back many times just to try all the options. I think I'll try their guisada next time or maybe the asado de puerco. read more

Have driven by this place many times, finally stopped in for lunch during the week. That was a great choice, legit tacos, hot, fresh, and very very tasty. #4 plate any 3 tacos with rice and beans and of course on corn tortillas, carnitas, barbacoa, asada for $7. Barbacoa was the best, then carnitas, but all were very good. Rice tasted very fresh, beans were a bit thin. The plate also came with grilled onions and a small potato, excellent additions. Lots of seating indoors and a few picnic tables outside with wide variety of customers; families, business people and tons of spanish speaking folks. This place is the real deal, a bit hidden in the strip center behind the QT, well worth the trip. read more

Love coming here, really authentic and great service. The bread next door is a great desert

Guilty pleasure? Authentic Mexican food found mostly in gas stations (think Fuel City in Dallas) or hidden away so well that this place has been open for over a year and I had not noticed it. The shame is that it is only a couple miles from my house and nothing but pho can beat a well done breakfast taco or bowl of pozoles for a low key brunch. When my hubby and I venture in, which has become once a weekend now, we are surrounded by other folks who enjoy real Mexican home cooking. The place is by the medical district, behind CareNow and is largely holding the retail strip mall afloat by its presence. It is clean and you have a very nice selection of Jarritos (my favorite is the tamarind) or Topochico to ease you into your day. I love the plain, deliciously flavored rice and beans that remind me of my first experiences with home cooked Mexican food. The beans probably contain lard or bacon grease and I have to get a side of them every time. I want to think the flour tortillas are home made, they taste and look like it. I've tried the street tacos, barbaqoa, some chili pepper variety and lengua. I liked them all. I tried the pozoles next but was slightly disappointed that it was topped with just shredded lettuce and not cabbage. The breakfast tacos are good, I've had the potato and egg one and a chorizo egg one (they forgot the egg). All, liberally dousing them with either the green or red salsa also tasty and homemade. I like that it is walk up counter service but you can help yourself to your beverage as you wait. Don't miss the dessert cooler with homemade cakes and other sweet treats. They do not have Tex-Mex queso and that is a good thing but you can get a side of the Cojita cheese to crumble over everything! I can't wait to go back and try more items. It is an extensive menu but all very well done, reasonably priced and currently is BYOB. So, for those mornings where you wake up a little groggy and need a good place to hunker down in, check it out. Go there, get some and enjoy the soap operas or bands playing in the dining area. read more

I wanted authentic tacos and wanted to try the new Taqueria Monterrey (behind the QT). I searched the web for their hours and Google showed they were closed today (Sunday). Boo. I opened up Yelp to doublecheck their hours and it showed open. Interesting. I then called the # listed on Yelp several times over 10 mins to triplecheck and it was busy the entire time. Wtf. I then decided to drive there to quadruple check. -1 star for that inconvenience. Upon arrival, I was glad to find that they were open Sundays. Inside was clean and menu was brightly lit. I ordered nachos and 9 tacos for dining in (I brought my neice and nephew with me). It took 26 minutes to arrive (I looked at my phone when they brought our food minus receipt time). -0.5 star for the long wait for dine-in. I would expect to-go orders to take longer. Food was decent and presented nicer than most taquerias. My tacos came with a roasted jalapeno and half potato. Green and red sauce (chilled) available from the fridge near fountain drinks. +0.5 star for presentation, extras. We didnt finish everything so asked for 2 large to-go boxes which was nice for them to have (+0.5). I also ordered a horchata to-go and said no ice, so that it wouldnt be watered down during the drive home. I had one of the kids carry the horchata. When we got into the car, guess what? It had ice. Wtf. That was the only thing on the order and the young lady at the register got it wrong. -0.5 star. Overall, this is a nice taqueria and a welcome addition to the area. They could use some help with their online presence (incorrect hours, no website, no menus) and simply managing the business hours would help a lot of people. 3.5 stars overall to be more precise. Since I couldnt find any indication of their menu or correct hours, I have uploaded them for any others looking for them. De nada. read more

I had never eaten in a gas station convenience store before, but this little restaurant tucked off to the side was always busy so I decided to give it a try. Glad I did. Love their tacos. $1.75 ea.
