I love The Taste in Denton! You really can't find much Korean food around here, so this place is…read moresuch a gem. I always get the bibimbop and it's amazing--super flavorful and always hits the spot. The side dishes are always fresh and delicious, and the whole place gives off a cozy, friendly, family-run vibe. Every time I come in, the staff is kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. As a TWU student, it's so convenient to have a spot like this nearby. The food is incredible, and I really need to try more of the menu, but it's hard not to stick with my favorite. Highly recommend if you're in Denton and craving Korean comfort food!

Highlights * Tacos bursting with the bold, authentic flavors of northern Mexico * Barbacoa: rich, tender, best enjoyed piping hot because of the high fat content. * Chicharrón: flavorful and perfect for adventurous palates (the consistency might not be for all, be aware). * True regional flavors may surprise unfamiliar diners Final Thoughts Veronica's Cafe is a hidden gem for anyone craving genuine Mexican tacos. One visit won't be enough! Too bad I live quite far from here!

The birria tacos may be the best I have ever had and I eat them all the time. I would have liked the tortillas to be more crunchy but the flavor the shredded beef made up for that! The consommé was delicious. I prefer a thicker, non-strained consommé and this delivered. It actually had chunks of beef in it. The wife had street tacos and one pork tamale. No complaints! The tamale wasn't dry and she loved both the chicken and beef tacos. I highly recommend this great little place!

Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and we ordered so much. I loved the concept of the curry sampler. They had so many different options and I'm glad we got to try a couple of them. Each curry was good. Full of flavor and loads of chicken and veggies. I loved the crab fried rice. The sweet pieces of crab went perfectly with the savory fried rice. My nephew loved everything they put on the table but he inhaled the popcorn chicken and the curry sampler. Customer service was great and all our questions were answered.

I consider Picone "Denton Italian" much in the way Komodo Loco gives me "Denton Japanese," & back…read morein the day Mr. Chopsticks was "Denton (broadly) Asian." To be clear, I celebrate the Denton fusion; it's one of my fave things about gems like Picone & Komodo Loco- the cuisine cannot be found anywhere else. Picone's chicken cutlets = mind blowing. The Piccata is my fave, but you really can't go wrong with any of their chicken parms. Their menu is fairly simple - no Cheesecake Factory novel to read. Check their website because they change their menu frequently. I love that they do this. Many things are staples but I've never been mad for choosing something new. Besides piccata, my partner likes the smash burger. I love the burnt carrots. Their focaccia pizza was outstanding. We like the potatoes and the Cesar salad, but they're outshined by the rest of the menu so we rarely get them. My recommendation: get a chicken parm of your choosing & one of their specials. Then share with one of your peeps. (The cutlets are the size of your head). Now let's talk staff and service. I have never ever had bad service there & have thoroughly enjoyed all interactions with staff. I feel like everyone really likes being there & cares about what they do. Go in with joy and joy will be returned to you. Ambiance: You order at the counter when you walk in. They'll give you a number and you sit wherever. It's super-casual, kinda small-ish hole-in-the-wall in the best way. It's always been doing a brisk business when we've gone. Be aware that the back room can get loud because of acoustics so keep that in mind if you're sensitive to it. There is limited onsite parking, but ton of street parking all around. I think that covers it. :) Enjoy!!

I'm visiting from Boston, and my mother-in-law offered to take my sister-in-law and me out to…read moredinner. We wanted Italian food so I checked Yelp for recommendations. People seemed to love Picone, so we went! Interesting place. Small and casual. There is a counter at the front, and on the counter is a board which shows the menu. We were told we could take a picture of the menu with our phones, sit down and peruse it, or just go ahead and order. We ordered, were given a number card to place on our table, and the food was brought to us. MIL and I got the chicken parm, and SIL got the chicken piccata. SIL and I thought our meals were delicious. MIL said her chicken was overcooked and she didn't enjoy it. (She also didn't like that there were no printed menus, but she's 87 and likes things how she likes them.) The chicken parm comes with "Sunday Sauce," which they told me is marinara. To me, it was spicier than marinara, and I really liked it. The portions were very large, and I took most of my food home with me. I didn't notice if they offered desserts or not. In Boston we have great Italian food, and I hadn't found that in Denton - until now. This was surprisingly good food and I would definitely return.

For the taco plate, I ordered two tacos al pastor and one cheese and chorizo taco. The al pastor was very good, though it would have been even better if the pineapple had been a bit riper. The cheese and chorizo taco was tasty and satisfying. The charro beans were fire and the cilantro lime rice was also really good. They have a really nice patio, which made it a great place to hang out, and the drinks are very reasonably priced. The only miss for me was the elote -- it had way too much cheese and the corn wasn't very sweet, so it just didn't hit the mark. Overall, I'd definitely come back, just would order something different next time.

Fajitas, enchilada, quesadillas. HOW were they cold?? Cheese not even melted. Zero seasoning. Meat for each plate. Seemed CHARRED and tasted burnt. Also tasted rancid. Ended up spitting out the chicken into napkins. Yes. At the table. Gagging. Cold inside. Sterile feeling. Bad experience. Bad. We have lived all over the United States and have traveled all over the world. Even in Third World countries we've had better street food.

One of the worst Mexican food experiences I've had. I hate to leave an all negative review BUT…read morethere really is not much I can say to balance out the negative experience. First, there was no line when we arrived but somehow it took nearly 20 minutes to get our food. Their soda machine was out of syrup and they couldn't figure out how to replace the supply so we had to ask if we could get a different type of drink. The food was cold including the queso which was already geling on top when they brought it out ahead of our meals. The fajitas were overly seasoned and the chicken not edible. The only hot item was the flour tortillas. We left more of the meal than we ate. Super disappointing and definitely will not be back.

BACKGROUND: This taco shop is fairly close to my work so easy decision to get food here if I'm short on time. Good Mexican food, definitely NOT Tex-Mex! FOOD Ok, being a recent refugee from CA to TX, I was told that Texas doesn't have good Mexican food. This is oft repeated in a FB group I'm part of, but one thing I noticed that most of these people don't live in the more ethnically diverse parts and getting their Mex at Tex Mex places. One of the great things about living in and around Denton is that there's a wealth of great mom and pop Mexican restaurants in the area. This place is no exception. I'd say my hands down favorite things to order here are the "street" tacos. Meaning they serve their tacos on a single smal chicanitas (small corn tortillas, maybe I butchered the spelling) and have a good choice of meats and vegetarian options. However there have been times some of my favorites weren't available, hence the minus star. They do though make one of the better al pastor tacos I've had in quite some time. And its consistently good, so there's a recommendation for you. I'm not too impressed by the lengua though. They also make a pretty good sopes as well. If you've never had a sopes, you're missing out. SALSA The family makes this excellent I mean EXCELLENT red salsa. I'm sure it has a name, but man it's really spicy (not gringo spicy) and has that nice semi chunky texture that I like. See my pic. GAS STATION While it may not look like it from the outside, you can drive around the back and get drive thru service. Never done it myself, but letting you guys know its available. If you go inside, its a decently stocked mini-market with adult beverages, soft beverages, and some general grocery items (no vegetables or fruit) like chips and other sundries. PO-PO JUST DOWN THE STREET/SAME BLOCK Pro tip: Don't do stupid s--t near this place. It is literally on the same block as the Denton Police station. They are always turning around the corner and down the street to park in their lot. RETURN VISIT? So far so good!
