Taqueria Hernandez

Things finally thawed enough that I decided to try driving, but there were very few places open - Taqueria Hernandez was an exception.The ambiance is classic, old school taqueria.Their prices were excellent and right in line with other taquerias ~$2.50 per taco with the tacos being Mexican street style with 2 corn tortillas, cilantro, onions, radish and lime slices. I ordered pastor, barbacoa, bistec, chorizo, and lengua tacos as well as a gordita and a sope - everything to go.While I had taken orders from my family, it all fell apart once they started trying the tacos.The bistec was for my granddaughter as she is a picky eater, but before I had a chance to explain that, she grabbed the chorizo taco and would not relinquish it (I only got to try a few chorizo crumbs - which were excellent).I was thinking that with 7 pastor tacos, I should be able to claim my 3, but I only got 2 as they were quickly wiped out - very tasty! Fortunately, I got one of the barbacoas and that took care of me.The wasn't fast enough with my camera to capture the lengua before all 4 of them were devoured.The sope and gordita (pastor of course) were huge and an excellent value. I liked them, but my wife was not a fan of the gordita as it had some yellow cheese on it.The service was excellent and they made sure I had water while I was waiting. They also had beers and other things, but I couldn't partake as I had to drive.Taqueria Hernandez was full of nice people, and had great food at a very good value. I would like to go back and try some of their other offerings. If you like authentic Mexican food, you should try it - highly recommended.

Great street tacos! One of my favorites street tacos place.We had lunch during my son's visit. We had taco de lingua, & barbacoa sopes. Loves their sauces, too.

This hidden gem of a restaurant tucked away north of downtown mckinney is my new favorite authentic taco spot. Their sauces are so flavorful and the spicy orange one has some heat! The al pastor and steak tacos are my favorite. The service is good however a little difficult since I don't speak spanish. There was a nice man at the counter that spoke english and took our order though. Will come again as the quality, authenticity and price were great. Did not take pics of the food since I devoured them so fast!

Authentic food and awesome service!! Ambiance is what you expect from a taqueria and we love it!!

Great Mexican food at great prices. I personally had a little trouble ordering as I don't speak Spanish but that speaks to the authenticity.

Great authentic tacos. Wonderfully priced. Warm tortillas. Great presentation. About 2.19 a taco. Highly preferred over gourmet tacos; these at taqueria Hernandez are fulfilling but I would say order 4+ if you're hungry fr fr. They have fruit too so I believe they double with a fruiteria. I haven't tried that yet. My new fav taco spot & I'll be back soon. I bought a jarritos, 7 tacos (chicken and bistec) & spent $20 ($16 before adding the jarrito). The food came up quick enough while I waited. I can't wait wait to go back.

A winner the Taqueria Wars. Always friendly and delicious from this clean, hole in the wall. A good lunch with your coworkers or family. I keep coming back for the tacos with the top being: *Barbacoa delicious, moist and a little sweet *Pastor is fantastic. Lightly crisp and perfect flavor. *Lingua is very light, moist and easy. Not crispy. Menu is big enough with tacos, gorditas, tortas (only 3 meat options) , and even menudo, YUM!Nothing fancy with food your family would make. It's that delicious and I enjoy each visit. Gracias

Terrible customer service and way to expensive for what you get, the food was not very good and the portions are small.Ghetto ambiance, it looks like they live upstairs and they have like 5 tips/donation boxes, really money hungry i even got charged a service fee just to eat here.

Food is wonderful Service is nice Their lengua was especially good. Place feels homey.

I've been coming since a child, I recommend this place for the horchata and bistec tacos, they're getting pretty stingy with how much meat they put in. But everything is good.Definitely should give it a go!
