Taqueria Monterrey

We only tired breakfast tacos but they were good. The place was packed. If you order take out call ahead- they have quite a backlog on Sunday mornings.

I've been to soooo many taquerias and while the food here wasn't too bad, there were a couple of things that were really odd to me...1 if you love tacos (like me) they don't sell individual tacos...I go for the tacos and don't care about the rice and beans and only options were $11 for 3 tacos, rice, and beans.. Or $13 for 5 tacos... They have flan that I would have gotten instead of all 5 tacos, but this is the only one I've seen that doesn't sell tacos individually (my usual order is 4 tacos of different meats and some sort of dessert or elote).They did let me pick 5 different meats for the tacos, at least. The pollo was a bit bland, but the carnitas were so juicy it squirted liquid all over when took a bite, so that's good, though the barbacoa was kinda dry. I wasn't a huge fan of the Al Pastor, though the Asada was pretty good. One thing I found odd was that they put a small chunk of potato in with the order as well.Overall not worth the $13 since the tacos while good flavor, were small and that's upwards of $2.50 per taco which is even a little high for the current economy and they need to sell individual tacos and not just 2 plates with tacos (as I mentioned earlier)

SUMMARY: For people who live in the "tonier" parts of town who say "There's no good Mexican food in North Dallas", well get out of your bubble and come to Denton. There's plenty of quality Mexican eateries out here!BACKGROUND: Consider this particular TM one of my go-to places for good Mexican food. While the parking is a little tight, the food is worth it.FOOD: Really good. Quality ingredients, always hot, never had a bad meal here. Reminds me of and what I'm used to eating back in LA. They serve up tacos (doubled corn tortillas) with cilantro and chopped onions. Their asada is my favorite but their al pastor and carnitas is pretty good too. I wasn't impressed with their lengua as the time I had it, it tasted like it had been sitting too long (mushy texture). What's nice about this place is that they give you some sliced cucumber, a lime, but also a nice little potato wedge AND AND AND! A grilled green chile :) This is the only place in the area so far that gives you this nice bit of value add. Also they have no issues giving me double rice vs rice and beans. While I like refried beans, most days I try not to eat it lest I smoke out my coworker haha.SERVICE: The people who run this place are great. Much better than the other TM down near the Medical City off I-35E (south of Buc'ees). ATMOSPHERE: Typical, nothing fancy.PARKING: Be careful parking in the parallel spots that run parallel with University. While I haven't seen an accident, I've seen big trucks almost hit cars parked in those spaces. RETURN VISIT? More than I care to admit :) This place is great and I highly recommend you give it a try.

Very good value for you get; try the the best beef tacos Al Carbon in town. Don't forget the cerveza!

Worth a visit for authentic Mexican food.Parking a little tight out front. Bring the smaller car if you have a choice.Basic fare, on styrofoam plates with plastic utensils. But the tacos I had were excellent with well seasoned carnitas topped with chopped onions and cilantro. Two pieces of lime. Provided a nice citrus finish. Refried beans all they have, as well as the rice, were nothing to write home about.But surprisingly the platter was garnished with grilled onions, a roasted potatoe and a delicious roasted pepper! Really well done.Chips and salsa also goodDefinitely recommend this spot and a steady stream of diners, many Mexican, apparently agree!

The Wife and I like the Menudo, is always good. But the bacon egg breakfast tacos are too expensive and to small

Do you like a side of attitude to go along with an incorrect order? If so, this is your place. The young woman behind the counter with the fake lashes is rude. I just asked if they were still serving breakfast tacos and was met with attitude. Fyi, apparently they are all premade and sold all day. She didn't convey that, I figured it out here. I ordered two different tacos to go, with green sauce. Apparently it doesn't matter what you order, you're getting chorizo. Also at $2.77 a pop, even in these pandemic times, that is a lot for a premade breakfast taco. And they should update their website with the price increases. The tacos tasted ok, nothing remarkable about it. The green sauce was a winner, though. Also, they have a sign when you walk in asking you to please wear a mask inside. Yeah, I was the ONLY one wearing a mask and it was just me and the employees there. I don't know if this was just burnout from New Year or what, but this experience sucked.

This was my first time to this location after being to the Mayhill location many times. My first impression is that the parking situation is much worse at this location than the other one. I ended up finding parking around the side of the building next to Pizza Patron. The interior of this location also seems smaller and less roomy than the other one. There was a long line when we walked in that went fairly quickly. The food here is on par with the other location, which is a good thing. I got the #21 Bistek a la Mexicana with corn tortillas, which is my usual order at the Mayhill location. We had about 10 orders in front of ours but we were able to get our order in less than 10 minutes. Our food and tortillas came out very hot and fresh. While this location is much closer to where I live and work, it seems much busier, which would push me more towards the other location if I had a choice. If you've never been to either location, I highly recommend going and trying out their food!

This place was shit! 1. The menu on the wall DOES NOT match the menu taped yo the counter by the register. 2. They skipped my order and it took the 30 freaking minutes. 3. The food was cold as heck. 4. I ordered the carne guisada..a traditional Mexican dish made with beef...they served me some shit pork with nasty salsa. NEVER IN MY 48 YEARS have I been served carne guisada made with pork! Which I freaking hate BTW!! 5. I took the plate up..told them and they REFUSED to change my plate....if I could I'd give it ZERO stars!ALL AROUND BAD!

The service is excellent, food even better! The hot sauces are the best I have ever had. Sufficiently spicy and very rich in flavor. The refried beans are so good I buy extra for the next day. The menudo is good but be careful it stains from the chili oil. Delicious every time!!! Wish they served beer :)
