Great spot in Denton! I’ve been here twice and had the chicken fajita with rice, refried beans, and corn taco — it came out fresh, steaming hot in the pan and was absolutely delicious. Paired it with a tequila and coke, and it hit the spot. Friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere make it an easy place to enjoy a meal.

Simple authentic Mexican food. The barbacoa tacos were the closest I’ve found to tacos in Mexico City.

Mom and pop place the guy serving the staff spoke little English but he knew the menu and he was very friendly and helpful! We didn’t get great pictures of the food because we started eating. It was really good! Prices were fair and the chips were amazing! I would go back! We ordered tostadas, torta, and nachos!

Amazing food! Went here for my brother’s 23 birthday. Food was amazing and we enjoyed every bite. If you’re looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant with good food then this is the place! Didn’t take much pictures but :,) it was good

If you're looking for a Mexican restaurant in Denton that is more authentic Mexican than Tex-Mex...look here! Their tacos are amazing (especially the al pastor) and the pozole is just like I had in Mexico City. The server and owner are as kind as can be and it's a fantastically authentic experience with amazing food.

First time, our waiter was very kind & it was a good time. Chips & salsa are yum. We tried 6 tacos w different meats: our favorite was the carne asada (which he recommended as his fav too), the pastor was solid (very good), the chicken was shredded & juicy, the barbacoa was actually one of my favs & I usually don't choose barbacoa, the chicharrón had good flavor & the texture was decent, & the carnitas = juicy. I really liked that they were not only topped with onions & cilantro, but also fresh lettuce & tomatoes! Both the red & green sauce had good spice & flavor, they had more of a watery consistency, but we used them on each taco. The ceviche was so different, the spice & flavor was unlike any ceviche we've had. The fish & avocado in it were perfect. This spot is well priced, I recommend! We will be back :)

We arrived at 6 on a Saturday evening so not real busy. Good reviews and a weathered, faded sign got us in. Our waiter was wonderful and we are watching now how he tends to his patrons. I suspect they are regulars. The food was delicious. Minimum of three tacos in an order. These in picture are tacos barbaccoa. Cooked perfectly with the right amount of cilantro. The carne asada was well seasoned and full of flavor. The restaurant is clean including bathrooms. Happy we found this restaurant.
