  Really good food! I wanted a regular tostadas with chicken and the guy at register was happy to have it made (it wasn't on the menu). Great customer service!
  I also ordered the tacos with rice and beans! It was sooooo good! The carne asada was tasty!  My husband had the menudo and said it was also good!
  Next time we're back in Denton we will be eating here!

  Great napoles Gorditas for a vegetarian option.
  
  I had 2 asada Gorditas as well. Highly recommend them.
  Great sauces come along with every meal and a grilled jalapeño.

  This taqueria is amazing. They always have good service, the quality is always consistent, it's surprisingly affordable considering how good it is and there has never been a long wait even when they are busy.
  
  So far I've only tried various tacos, you can get them with either flour or corn. I typically don't like corn tortillas but their corn tortillas are amazing. They also ask if you want cilantro and onions. It's no brainer to me but there are some that apparently don't like cilantro like my wife so I'm glad they ask so you have the option to get it without cilantro.
  
  I have tried most of their tacos, my favorite by far is asada. Al pastor, barbacoa and chorizo. I haven't had tacos this good anywhere else and I have had a lot of tacos.
  
  I tried the huevos rancheros while it was good it didn't wow me like their tacos does.
  
  This is a must-try restaurant if you like tacos.

  I haven't been to this location in about 3 years or so. There are two simple and innocent reasons for why I don't come more often. First, I'm usually on my way somewhere and not hungry when I'm at this intersection. Also, their second store is much closer to my usual route and I've been content with frequenting that spot.
  
  However, stopping by on a Saturday morning just after 10am reminded me of all the things this location has to offer! First, for those of you passing through, this location is super easy for getting on and off I35 without disrupting your trip too much. It's next to the Care Now and behind the Dickey's in the corner of the strip.
  
  Second, this taqueria has a better layout and is less crowded with their seating, so it has a more relaxed atmosphere. Also, they have about four tables out front in a patio area. It's not covered, so that will depend on the weather. It is shaded in the mornings due to the height of the building.
  
  This location is extremely fast and that's actually harder to find in a taqueria setting, so they get major props for that! People had to go orders ahead of me and I still got my food within 5 minutes.
  
  I ordered the taco plate, which is my go to at both locations, and a medium agua fresca. With tax, this came out to exactly $10. I ordered the asada, pastor and carnitas.
  
  All 3 are executed a little better here than at the one on University, but it's just minor things. The asada is less chewy, the pastor is less greasy and the carnitas aren't as dry. The seasoning was on point for all 3, as I would expect from either location. Even the potato that comes with the plate is a little more flavorful. The beans, rice and agua fresca are about the same, which is to say very good and flavorful.
  
  I regret not getting the barbacoa. As we had stopped in on a whim, and a very nice lady was immediately ready to help me, I ordered off the top of my head as I scanned the list of meats. What I should have done is ordered the barbacoa. The barbacoa at the second location is the best I've had in Denton and I've never had it from here. Judging from everything else on this visit, I bet it would have been just as outstanding if not more so!
  
  They had 6 agua fresca's ready to go. I went with the Jamaica and it was quite good. They also had breakfast tacos stocked on the counter for grab and go. They have fountain drinks and bottled drinks and ready made desserts available as well.
  
  This Taqueria Monterrey is extremely organized and clean, I really like it a lot. It's a great stop for solid food and I'm glad I got a nice reminder of that with delicious agua fresca, yummy rice and above average, well seasoned meats.
  
  A 4 1/2 star experience that deserves to be rounded up for speed and service because you can see they are more prepared than many of the other local taquerias around.

  OK, so If you want a HUGE menu of options, this is your place!  If you are looking for delicious, authentic, Mexican food, this is Definately your place! And if you are looking for a friendly, fast service restaurant to grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner certainly stop in here.  
  
  I will admit, I passed by many times before I finally stopped.  For no other reason than........ well, I don't really know.  I just never stopped.  I wish I had.  I pulled in here hoping to grab some tacos that I could eat on the road and what I walked in to find was like a food Disney Land! I couldn't believe the options they had.  Service was extremely prompt so I recommend looking up their menu ahead of time otherwise, you may make a quick decision and just tell them to give you one of many things ( I almost did this but stopped myself and stuck to the tacos on the road plan)..... and because I love pastries, I had them throw in one of those churros too.  I topped it off with a cup of the aqua frescas de pina.  I chose my old favorite tacos, Al Pastor.  
  
  I was shocked at how fast my order was ready.  There were so many customers coming in for pick up orders as well as patrons coming to dine in yet it seemed like I was the only one because I was in and out so quickly.  
  
  I got out to the car and was extremely pleased with what less than $10 got me.  Wow!  Refried beans and rice, three tacos stuffed with onions, cilantro, grilled onions.  a roasted jalepeno, even a potato.  Everything was about as perfect as you could get.  The tacos came with two sauces, a red and a green.  The red had a little kick to it but wasn't overpowering.  The green was very flavorful and added a nice finish to the tacos.  Oh, and with the spritz of lime that they also provided, those tacos tasted like I was on the streets of Mexico.  And if you've never been, you must experience this culinary journey someday.  
  
  I will say, I have a favorite taqueria in East Texas that I have frequented for nearly 2 decades now and I still have never found one that I like better, but this one is REALLY good.  And close to as good of a value.  
  
  Now to the best part.  The Churro and the Aqua Fresca.  Both were heavenly!  The Aqua Fresca tasted just like homemade and the Churro, well, I'm glad I didn't dine in because I most certainly would have gotten a few more to take with me.  
  
  If you have done as I did many times and drove by here without stopping, don't do that any longer.  Stop in and grab a quick, quality bite to eat.  You won't be disappointed.
