This place is definitely a local find. Very small place but it is the right place to go for breakfast tacos. Bacon, potato, egg and cheese tacos for $3.25 each. All the locals come here, this place was hopping when I came in to get a to-go order. Gotta try it! read more

Veronica's Cafe - Outside - Mexican Near Me - Denton, Texas

Veronica's Cafe at 803 E McKinney St, Denton, TX 76209 I have driven by this place so many times in the past and saw so many cars out there doing the morning time and some even at lunch. Today I stopped in for breakfast. I did not know what to order so I allowed the lady at the cash register to suggest what I should be eating for breakfast this morning. I want to say I ate a pupusa which was overflowing with warm beans and cheese. This was my favorite and when I go back to this establishment again I'm going to order at least three or four of these delicious savory breakfast meals. The customer service was kind and efficient for the small establishment. The people in the back were very focused on making the food and getting people on with their mornings. The parking lot is very small but people are coming and going in a very efficient manner. If you can order this online which I believe you can. You should be able to just pick up and go. Will definitely be trying this restaurant early in the morning once again soon. read more

Authentic as they get! The staff only speak Spanish, and the closer you get to closing time, the less likely you will be able to order much from the menu. When I arrived 15 minutes before closing on a Tuesday, they only had Barbacoa. That was fine with me! Their flour tortillas are fairly fluffy and soft. The meat was juicy and full of beef flavor. The red and green sauce were spicy but still bearable. They could have added more cilantro and onions, but perhaps they didnt want to cut up anymore as they were closing shop. I personally think Taqueria Guanajuato are still the best in town (and they are within eyesight from Veronicas Cafe. Based on other reviews and the menu though, this place seems to shine for breakfast. One day I will come back and actually try them in the morning time. read more

This tiny, authentic Mexican joint is the definition of a hole-in-the-wall gem. With their homemade tortillas and fresh salsas, they deliver delectability to your taste buds. Try this place out! You won't regret it! read more

Veronica's Cafe - Menu on the wall - Mexican Near Me - Denton, Texas

The spicy potato gordita and nopales taco are some of the best vegetarian breakfast options in town. The building is very small, but the staff is very efficient. Long live East McKinney food options. read more

This is a true hole-in-the-wall but what a great place. They only have three tables so be prepared to get it to-go. They have different types of tacos compared to most of the taqueria's I've been to in the Denton area. The kitchen is right next to to where you order so you can see the magic being created. The chorizo, potato and egg breakfast taco is quite good. I would have preferred more chorizo in it, I thought it was too much potato that took away flavor but each to their own. The tortilla was also very good. You can add green jalapeño sauce and red hot sauce. The jalapeño sauce was ok, I love the red hot sauce, really great flavor. I also ordered the Carne Con Chille (Spicy Beef) lunch taco which was awesome! The red hot sauce was perfect with it. Such great flavor. I got both tacos with beans but I will order them without beans next time. I wanted to try the Asado De Puerco (Pork Casserole) but sadly it wasn't quite ready when I ordered (around 11.30 AM) so I will have to come back and try it some other time. I ordered three taco's but two would have been enough for me. The service was great and it was really quick. Everyone paid with cash, I didn't think to ask if they also accept credit card. read more

Best tacos in Denton! The barbacoa tacos were so good my friend and I couldn't get enough. We were in Denton for a month and between us ate at least 30 of them! Lovely service & family-owned vibe. read more

We ordered 4 dozen tamales for Christmas Eve. They were ready when she said they would.be and they were fantastic

Veronica's is by far one of my favourite taquerias in Denton. They've actually replaced La Estrella as my favourite breakfast taco joint. Maybe it's just the seasons. The tacos here are a little different than say Monterrey or Guanajuato. They don't offer the standard carne asada, pollo, pastor, etc. They have barbacoa, egg varieties, and stewed meats that are amazing though. The flour tortillas aren't made in-house, but I've seen the workers walk over to a nearby location to grab the huge stacks of fresh tortillas. The flour tortillas they use are perfection, arguably my favourite in town. The chorizo, potato, and egg tacos are my absolute go-to here. It can hold its own without salsa, and I get at least one every time. I also tend to get the Carne Con Chille (Spicy Beef) and Asado De Puerco (Pork Casserole). The spicy beef goes really great with some of their salsa, but the pork casserole doesn't need any. Worth noting that the spicy beef really isn't that spicy, assuming you're a Texan accustomed to taquerias and a medium level of spice. The barbacoa is good, just a little too fatty on its own. It doesn't come with lime, cilantro, or onions, and I wish they offered it. That might just be out of familiarity, but I think it's a nice counter balance to the fatty nature of the meat. Truthfully they might have lime, cilantro, and onion ready to go, I just didn't ask. I've only tried one of their gorditas, and I wasn't much of a fan. That might be all my doing though, considering I ordered a papas con chile (spicy potatoes) gordita. It was overwhelmingly starchy, but I'm also the kind of person that doesn't like potatoes inside of other carbs (ex. samosas). To each their own. If you're a vegetarian, there are a decent number of options. This is assuming you can eat eggs or cheese and all of their seemingly non-meat items don't contain lard or meat broth. If it's a concern, I'd double check. As far as I could tell, there was no meat or dairy in the papas con chile (spicy potatoes). It's also worth noting that they do offer bean and cheese tacos, despite it not not gracing their menu. This place is really small with a minimal amount of workers, so that comes with it's own discomforts. They're quick without a line, but can take awhile during peak hours. It's a hit or miss, so I'd aim for off hours if time is a concern. With the small space comes limited seating, so aim for to-go if possible as well. Either way, the space can get uncomfortably crowded real fast. There isn't a whole lot of room to hover while waiting for a to-go, so buckle up. More often than not you'll have to get real cozy with the table goers. Embrace the awkward coziness, the tacos are more than worth it. read more

This place is incredible. Had to head up to Denton for jury duty and was fortunate to find Veronica's Cafe just down the road from the courthouse. read more

The best hole in the wall that ever was. Very authentic food. If your looking for Tex Mex, this isn't it. Everything is great, and reasonably priced. Her beans are some of the best in Denton. The fresh salsas can't be beat. On the weekends, they can tend to sell out if popular items quickly, like most breakfast items. You can always call ahead and check for availability of items. As posted in other reviews, it's very small in here, but don't let that turn you away! read more

Veronica's Cafe is wonderful, locally-owned, and authentic. Breakfast tacos hit the spot, Barbados tacos are delicious, too. Anything she makes is great! If Veronica happens to be making tamales, you can't pass them up. Amazing! She is a gem! read more

You cannot get a better breakfast taco. The workers there are some of the kindest people I have ever met. 6/5

After a week in Denton I unpacked, got cable and found Veronica's. The menudo seasoning is AMAZING - onion-y and garlic-y, comino, Mexican oregano and a nice salty heat kicker. It takes an experienced hand to develop tasty, bright flavors in a heavy, slow braised tripe stew. Seriously. Most cooks end up closer to bitter and salty than happy deliciousness, and did I say just the right amount of hominy? The two breakfast taquitos - meh, but I was pretty full already. Fantastic tortillas - next time I will definitely get some to go. Twice while I was there they asked "anyone here for a phone order?" so you don't have to wait to get to the front when your order is ready to go. The few tables are more for waiting than eating. Highly recommend. read more

It's good but some of the stuff I've had here I didn't really like, it's better to me at other places. I really like how small the place is and it's not been too ridiculously busy for me when I've gone in depending what time. read more

Excellent food and service! I don't speak much Spanish and ordered in English no problem- I even ordered a combination not listed on the menu without trouble. It is small but it's clean and homey- only complaint is it was about 80 degrees inside. I will certainly be back! read more

Great food and the people are nice. There are only three tables, so you're lucky to get a seat. It's mostly Spanish speaking though i get by fine with only English. Both the lunch and breakfast tacos are delicious, and I enjoyed the tacos here much more than at Taco Lady. read more

I give this place 5 stars for the food. The breakfast tacos are awesome! But, the place is tiny, has no air conditioning, and little seating. Plus, it is only open until 3pm. read more

Small hole in the wall near twu campus near the train track, nice service with some of the fastest cooked food I know of. Food was about $7 for a plate of breakfast with rather large portions. Only issue is that the place is tiny, but the food is worth it. read more

One of The best taco shops in town sure it may be small but take em to go and your set. You definetly must come here if you're into authentic Mexican food with a homemade twist, personally I recommend the barbaqua or bean and eggs tacos ((((: read more

Simply delicious home-cooked Mexican food. Best to have Spanish speaking skill when going in, and know that there are only three tables and it is truly a dive with no place to stand and wait. Reasonable prices. Great for take-out, breakfast tacos, simple lunch, etc. Four stars for the food and friendly people, loss of one star for the dive nature of the place and logistics of being busy. read more

Great caldo de res soup. A little crazy at lunch but worth it. (If you don't want to wait a long time or have to take the food to go, get there early.) read more

This place is about as authentic as it gets. Small menu selection but everything on it is AMAZING. I would highly recommend the barbacoa tacos, the meat is extremely moist and is an excellent combo with Veronica's verde sauce. The only down side to Veronica's is that there are no set hours and you never really know when it's going to be opened or closed. read more

Made a quick detour for lunch this morning and was very impressed with the flavor of their lunch tacos! The green sauce is delicious! Will definitely be back soon! read more

Awesome food, great prices, best tortillas you can find... Check out the Carne Con Chile, it is amazing. Only 3 tables, but usually can get a seat decently quick. Once you eat here you're addicted. If you want to just grab to go breakfast tacos you can't go wrong either. read more

This is the type of place I love! It's clean, local with GREAT food and super reasonable pricing. My boyfriend and I got 4 burritos under $10. It doesn't get any better than that. Mother and daughter ran and very friendly with quick service! May visit while in Denton. read more

The food is excellent just two issues they don't give any cilantro or onion with your tacos which is blasphemous when it comes to mexican food and if you ask for you might get yelled in Spanish lol read more

We bought our Christmas Eve tamales from here and they were so so good. This is a small kitchen but she knows her stuff. Won't go wrong in this place, but don't plan on dinner there. Take it out since there is only one table. read more

The tortillas were incredible. Also tacos and hot sauce was great. I would actually give 4.5 out of 5. Would have been a 5 if the service was friendly and acted like they wanted us there. Will try again the food is worth it. read more

Veronica's is awesome for authentic Mexican food made by Veronica herself! Breakfast tacos are the best in town as far as I'm concerned. Lots of filling choices for tacos. Very friendly service and reasonable prices. The place is tiny and lunch crowd can be pretty big but service moves quickly and it's worth the wait if you want the real Mexi deal. Clean and well run little place and food is always fresh and flavorful. Great! read more
