DELICIOSO!!! 10 out if 10 recommend for their Birria Taco’s! My husband’s burrito was enormous and the flavors are amazing! All the meats were seasoned really well, cooked to perfection. Loved trying all the different sauces! Definitely gonna be a new family favorite for us! Great food, cute atmosphere and friendly staff. Will be back often!

El Taco H is our favorite place to get street toco's. They are so fresh and packed with flavor. We love the quesa birria, el pastor and carne asada. I'm sure the others are good as well but we like those so much that we haven't given any others a shot. Their rice and beans are solid, the beans have a smoky flavor that I love. My favorite thing there is the guacamole. It's honestly the best I've ever had. It has a light fluffy texture, almost like it's whipped. It's not bland at all like a lot of guac, it has a nice lime flavor and some spice. They top it with pico which just adds to it. They have a huge salsa bar so I get more pico and keep adding it on top. Their elote is wonderful too, they top it with a lot of cheese so as you eat it the cheese keeps falling inside and you get cheese in each bite. Their margaritas excellent as well! My favorite it the mango. Do not leave there without getting dessert. Their filled churro's are straight from heaven! I would stop there just to have that alone.

El Taco H has great flavors with their tacos. And get that guac! I am a fan of their horchata and the Al pastor was my favorite taco. Head over to El Taco H downtown Denton just off the square.

So I took my wife here for lunch on Saturday, and honestly the food was so-so at best. The service sucked The staff at the counter sucked. My food was cold and dry. My wife’s was just missing for a while Ugh. They sucked So it all started by my wife and I walking up to order and my wife ordered two different type of tacos and a Diet Coke and a chips/salsa, I also ordered two different tacos and a glass of water. Simple, right?? Two people, four tacos! The girl said something to me which I couldn’t hear due to the amount of noise there. Btw, this was a very noisy place. So I said, yes, that my wife ordered two tacos and I ordered two tacos Weird that you get a plastic cup but have to go to the bar in a different room to get your coke. So we sat and waited. They brought my tacos chips and salsa and left. We waited And waited And nothing So I went back up to the counter and was told that I had only ordered 2 tacos. So I told her that my wife had ordered two tacos and was told I had to pay again. 4 tacos, chips & salsa and a drink for $24. Seriously over priced It’s amazing she heard my wife order the chips and salsa and her coke but not the tacos!! Her tacos finally did arrived, (NOT the tacos she ordered) but she ate them as we were tired and she was hungry Overall the experience sucked. Over priced over rated I cannot recommend this place and won’t go back

When you walk down Hickory street, you’ll see Taco H and Rusty Taco across from one another. Turn toward Taco H. They have a lively, inviting vibe, a very friendly staff, and gorgeous tacos. They offer an impressive selection of proteins (I got the pastor, cabeza and carnitas) and a wonderful salsa bar with many different varieties. My tacos were tender and flavorful. But the highlight? That RICE!!! So fluffy, bright and satisfying. The sangria beat my expectations 100%

We came for lunch to celebrate a birthday. There is plenty of free street parking around the establishment and there is a free parking lot in the rear as well. There are multiple ramps through out the restaurant and around it. When you walk through the front door there are menus on the wall in holders you order your food and beverages at the front desk and they give you a number that you take with you. They have glass soda bottles that you order at the front. As you walk through the restaurant they have plenty of decor on the walls and near the rear is the bar area where you can order mixed cocktails or beer. They have a salsa bar that you can help yourself too and a water area with ice dispenser that you can help yourself too. When your food is ready a runner brings it out to you according to your number you got from the front. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and guacamole was amazing and had a slight spice to it.

WOW! Absolutely incredible food! The birria taco plate will knock your socks off. The charro beans will make your day. Hands down the best tacos, beans, even the rice, you will ever have. And I am not saying this lightly. If you live within 3hrs, Drive here. If you live further, fly here. Awesome atmosphere, salsa bar. Amazing service to top it all!

1st time here and just hand a bad experience the moment I walked in. My order that I ordered was just completely opposite of what I ordered. I was charged for the plate that I didn't order . My margarita was supposed to be frozen and it was on ice. I think management needs to make sure the front isn't on there phones. Distractions just cause issues. I might try this place again some time and update the review but this will stay here. I didn't like the fact the salsa bar is over rated with flys. That needs some attention cause it shouldn't be like that

I came here for lunch recently and was very pleased. I had ordered ahead and my order was ready in the 8 minutes it took me to drive here. As soon as I walked in I was greeted. I had to order in person since I forgot to order a taco when I did it online. The cashier was very nice and my order was ready in less than 5 minutes. The service was really good. They have a large salsa bar that has water, ice, limes, jalapenos, and, of course, various salsas. I ordered the carne asada taco, the al pastor, and quesabirria. I was so hungry I didn't get to take any pics of all the tacos. The tacos were excellent. Now, they are small, as they are street tacos, but the flavor is potent in a good way as they're all well seasoned. The carne asada steak was grilled perfectly and had great flavor, and it was tender; it tasted great! The al pastor taco was also very good it was very tender, not dried out and tender and had a perfect pastor flavor. I like that they garnished it with diced pineapples. The quesabirria was very delicious, the meat was very tender and flavorful, and the cheese was just as delicious. The tacos are made of corn, and the tortillas were very high quality. I'll definitely be back! I

This used to be one of my favorite taco spots, but the last few times we've ordered delivery, the tacos are either incredibly greasy (Asada) or the tortillas are wet and soggy. They have also forgotten items in several orders - one of the sides on the taco plate or tonight, the chips and salsa were left out. I won't order delivery again...lesson learned. Now the good - The Asada tacos are really good, but watch for hard burnt pieces from the grill (I always check mine before eating). The cilantro lime rice is delicious. The beans are good, but have more of a smoked ham taste than I like so I usually opt for double rice. The elote cup is okay...I can't put my finger on what I don't like about it. The salsa is drinkable!! It is so good! My favorite besides my mom and grandma's by far! The tres leches cake is incredible! I usually don't like tres leches cakes, but I saw a picture of it and my son and I decided to try it...omg...perfection. Asada tacos: 4/5 Cilantro lime rice: 4/5 Beans: 3/5 Elote cup: 2/5 Chips and salsa: 5/5 Tres leches cake: 5/5

Outside of the hair wrapped around my lime, the food was incredible! I got tacos al pastor, cabeza, and carnitas! The meat was flavorful and where it needed to be. My husband got the birria and said the consommé was The BEANS!! I'll admit, a bean fanatic, but that with the added rice kind of reminded me of like a jambalaya situation. Only took one star off bc of the hair!

Flavor town is back in Denton! Located just off the square, El Taco H is dishing out supreme tacos with excellent flavors. I recently happened to stop by on Taco Tuesday and much to my surprise, El Taco H exceeded my expectations. Given Denton isn't known for its establishments, El Taco H is a reliable option for Taco Tuesday specials. Along with Taco Tuesday specials, happy hour is thing. The most unique thing about the restaurant outside of the flavor packed Al-Pastor taco, has to be their extensive selection of salsa. El Taco H won't disappoint, definitely worth a try if you're in the Denton area.

Food and service were good. Didn't have to wait long for the food to arrive, though it was weird that that appetizer came after the tacos. We ordered: Birria taco, lengua, chorizo/queso? (I think) and another one with pineapple. Overall, I enjoyed the birria and the chorizo one. Couldn't try the one with pineapple (as I'm allergic). The lengua was okay, a bit dry imo There's a sauce bar in the back as well. Good variety there, though personally, I wish there was a spicer sauce (Haberno wasn't spicy) Will be back if I'm in the area!

Very cool ambiance, lots of neat paintings on the wall and decor that feels like you're being transported to Mexico City. Everything was very clean and the staff was welcoming as soon as we walked in. There is a whole bar with many different hot sauces at all different heat levels along with all the toppings if you want extra, including limes cilantro and onions. All the food we ordered came out quick and tasted phenomenal! The chips were seasoned a d the salsa was steaming hot and packed with flavor. One of the best salsa's I've ever had that perfectly balanced heat and flavor. The Suadero taco could have been a bit more tender but still was very delicious. All the tacos were dripping with juices and VERY generously piled up with meat and toppings. The margaritas were flavorful and not too sweet like a lot of places tend to be. We will make this a new staple when we're looking for street tacos. It felt very authentic and tasted incredible

Came on recommendation of some friends. A bit confused on how you order and no one greeted at door. But with that being said you walk in and menus are at door. Then step to counter and order and then seat yourself. Very open eating area and bar in the back as well as a salsa bar. Cute decor as well. Birria tacos were very tasty. Loved the cilantro lime rice and the beans. Chicken flautas were packed full and the crema on top was delicious. The best aguas frescas I have had in a while.

I keep coming back because their food is delish and priced well. Thank you for not being like other places and charging $17 for a mediocre burrito. My favs are the pastor tacos and queso birria. They have the best Guacamole. My kids love the chicken tostadas. And we love Wednesday Loteria night. Oh and a great salsa bar and sangria. One of my fav spots at the square.

This place is off the Denton Square by a block or two. You walk in, place your order, and they bring you your food. The ambience is adorable. It was clean, open, they had an air conditioned area in an outside sitting area. You got to sit wherever you want. They had a relish bar with all kinds of salsa, limes, and all the accoutrements that go with street tacos. I did get the El Diablo margarita, probably one of the best margaritas I have ever had in a very long time. I also got the Carne Asada, barrita taco, with rice and beans. All of it was very good however I did prefer the Carne Asada over the burrita taco

Okay I'm sad that this is all the way in Denton and I live in Fort Worth because this was sooooo good. I was getting my hair done down the street and my stylist told me to come here for lunch so I did. I ordered to go but got an Agua Fresca de Fresa and the taco plate with rice and beans. Did not disappoint. The Birria, Carnitas, and Tinga all had amazing flavor. Definitely will be back to eat on the patio because it looked super cute and it would be perfect on a nice day with a margarita yes I'll be back

We were on the way to lake Ray Robert's and took a detour because everybody was hungry. My daughter had been here before and recommended it. We all ordered the taco plate. I had the carne asada, my wife had the carnitas and my daughter had the queso birria. They were accompanied by a cilantro lime rice that was very heavy on the lime that my wife and daughter really liked and some beans with a suspicious seasoning. Overall it was a good meal meaning my wife and daughter loved what they had. They had a large variety of salsas and sauces. Chips are extra here where most places if you are purchasing 3 meals they come free. I personally am a connoisseur of Mexican food so I would given it a 3. It definitely is worth giving it a try since two out of three gave them a 4.

I meant to take the picture before most of the food was gone LOL The Ramen was so yummy! I will definitely order it again. I don't usually eat guacamole but I couldn't stop eating the chips and guacamole. I really enjoy spicy food but their salsa was a little more spicy than I could handle. The atmosphere was nice and casual and the servers were friendly and attentive. El Taco H has been added to my will return to list.

Great taco spot in Denton. Lots of tasty taco options and cold beer. Prices are also good. They have a nice big patio in the back with the bar that offers shaded area and full sun options. The atmosphere and vibe was inviting... The staff was helpful and informative with all their food choices.. You can't go wrong with El Taco H.... Stop by, I know you'll be happy with your choice. Parking: You need to use the Denton parking lots. There is a small free lot across the street.

Absolutely loved this place! The authenticity is beaming from the second you walk in. From the big jugs of Agua fresca to the music and the decor, this place makes you feel like you're in for a traditional meal. The food was delicious. I ordered a taco plate and some flautas. The tacos were good, I got 2 pastor and one steak. The pastor came with pineapple and that was a delicious treat. The chicken flautas were probably the top 2 or 3 best I've ever had in my life. Super crispy on the outside yet juicy on the inside. The Agua fresco was absolutely amazing must get if you visit. Service was friendly and helpful. I will 100% be back here.

Delicious as usual! Ate at the restaurant before the Luchador match they were hosting. Got Al Pastor, Barbacoa, and Carnitas. All delicious. The barbacoa was less greasy this time. Rice and beans are the absolute best I've ever had. Margaritas were perfect. Service was also fast as usual. The bartenders were great; we came back over for a drink after the match and my friend requested a creative drink inspired by the luchador mask he bought at the match. It was yummy! They were all super nice. Always a great vibe here. Love the brick walls and decor. The music is always fantastic. Feels like I'm back in Mexico!

We came as a group of 15 after an event on the UNT campus. Our organizers ordered some guac and chips for the table -- the guacamole was off-the-charts excellent and the chips were fine too. I got a taco plate with the three least common tacos that I could find on the menu; all three tacos were wonderful. The taco plate came with a small bowl of rice that I liked a lot and a bowl of beans that was good enough for the purpose. We drank some Shiner bock and then some more Shiner bock. The beer was most welcome, and pretty tasty to boot.

I was seating across the street eating at hoochies; when the music kept bringing back childhood memories. We came in the following by week for the music; however will definitely return for the food and service. Carnitas tacos, the lime rice and the charro beans is something I can eat day in & day out. Let's not forget about the unlimited freshly made chips and salsa bar

Hand down the best tacos we've had while in Texas. This spot is a favorite of our cousins who live nearby. We were told they have great margaritas but don't try them this trip. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and when we had an issue with part of our meal not getting delivered the manager was quick to refund us for the missing item - no questions asked. There is a large outdoor seating area and the indoor seating is kept for good cold with AC. The decor is plentiful and tasteful. The quesabirria tacos were to die for. The meat was very tender and it had just the right amount of cheese. The consommme was so good and was super flavorful. I washed everything down with a cup of cucumber and lime aqua Fresca which was very refreshing. The cilantro lime rice was so good and the charro beans were amazing. I'm used to bland refried beans at Mexican restaurants but these beans were piping hot and full of flavor. My husband was raving about his carne asada tacos and said he wishes he would've ordered more than three. We will absolutely be back the next time we are in town.

It a fancy place with cheap food near the college. Nothing was bad, but nothing made me want to ever come back again since I make a lot more money than when in college in the 90s.

Wow! It's not often that I'm blown away from the moment I walk into a new restaurant, until I leave. From the outside it doesn't look like something as great as it was inside. The menu was pretty easy to navigate and the only down side was I couldn't sample their great drinks because I was at work. We ordered the chips & salsa and loved that they came out warm. They give you a ton of chips and that salsa was soooo good! We couldn't even finish them. They bring your order to you and everyone there was friendly and we got our order pretty quickly. Just looking at my Birria taco plate I was truly hoping it tasted as good as it looked. Well....it was even better! That meat was tender, juicy and packed full of flavors. The beans were out of this world amazing. Even the rice was some of the best rice I've had at a Mexican restaurant. I will come back again with my wife so she can drive and I can sample the drinks !!

Great find for tacos in Denton. Enjoyed everything that we ordered, and we had a good sample of the tacos on the menu. Did the same with the salsas. There are so many selections. This is great since each type of taco will be enhanced by specific flavors and heat. I had three tacos: nopales, barbacoa; and beef. Liked all of the flavors put forward. I had cilantro-lime rice. We had the chips and salsa and enjoyed the warm salsa that was served. Very good

extremely delicious sopas, we showed up on a friday night and it was incredibly busy but our food came out very quickly and was fresh! the aguas frescas are super sweet, i couldn't handle it but the coconut one we got was delicious nonetheless. they have a self serve bar area with salsas, limes, and water! music was good, space was clean and vibes were correct, deeeeefinitely recommend the carne asada. the beans were surprisingly spicy in a good way and the staff was very nice even though i was being indecisive! 4.98 stars

Went here with a group of friends and definitely enjoyed our time! There was great atmosphere - music, lighting, and temperature at the facility was fun, vibrant, and comfortable. When you walk in, you grab a menu and order at the counter + pay right in front of you. They'll give you a number and the food is served wherever you choose to sit. The food itself was a bit on the higher side but this place is a tiny bit more upscale than your average taco shop you'd find at a gas station. The tacos were pretty small for our liking (looked like a little under 5 inches) but totally stuffed with meat - which did make up for it. Everything was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed the dish. There is a free salsa bar (chips you have to buy at the counter) with a complimentary water dispenser on the side. There's plenty of seating and two separate dining rooms. Bathrooms were plentiful and clean. The entire place was just super clean. Parking is on the street but there is also a free lot across the street from the restaurant.

Big burrito was fantastic, not too busy for lunch on a Tuesday either. Very relaxed place with great salsa bar. The habanero salsa is so good! Get 1 or 2 of their el pastor tacos while you're at it!

The food has good flavors, the service is super friendly and fast and they have great music for ambiance if you like an authentic Mexican feel with Banda music and Spanish music of all genres. Be prepared to wait in line to order your food before you seat down if you go during rush hour times but their salsa bar is awesome and I heard during the weekends the back patio turns into a big party so I will have to go try that out in the future.

It has been a while since I visited this place. At least a year since I was last here. This time around I went with my son and ordered two 3 tacos meal. Sudadero & Al Pastor. Both flavors with only onions. The tortillas were falling apart. Perhaps too much dipped in oil (as MXN street tacos tend to be). The beans had a strong cummin & black pepper taste. Perhaps may be canned sourced. The white Mexican rice was ok (arroz cilantro y limón flavor). Uncommon for a Mexican kitchen vs the tomato rice that's mostly dominant in Mexican food. Suadero meat was ok. Fatty as suadero should be. Al Pastor meat was overcooked. Horchata water (rice water) was ok. Just too sweet. This maybe sourced through a vendor. Customer service was good. Food is overpriced for the quality provided.

If you're looking for a great ambiance & hangout spot to munch on Mexican food, this will be your place. The food is okay, why because it's lacking flavor on most plates. The agua chiles did not have any taste or spice to it. They included a bag of salsa chips which gave it the spice. The birria tacos were savory but felt like there wasn't enough meat in the taco. The only taco I would recommend from here is the el pastor taco. Drinks are really good & enjoyable to drink at the outside patio.

I do not enjoy giving one star reviews to local establishments, however, when I do there is always a reason. With that being said, I've gone to El Taco H with friends and family several times since they opened here in Denton. I've never had any issues, food has always been consistent and the staff and service have been friendly. With that being said, I've never ordered any drinks from the bar. Last night a close friend of many years was visiting from out of town and a group of us (5 total) excitedly decided to take my friend to this establishment. We made our orders, found out we couldn't order drinks at entry (which was totally fine) we go to the bar to make our orders. My friend ordered and received her drink. I give her my and my partners drink orders, she asks for ID and my partner handed the bartender his and my id. I took out my credit card ready to pay. The bartender looks at our id's tells me mine is expired and cannot serve me. I asked her "really?" And she responds with "really." With an attitude, but then looks at my partner and repeats the wrong order back to him and asks him if he's still wanting to order. I asked the bartender how is it that she's unwilling to serve me, but she's ready to serve my partner and willing to let me pay? I decide to go ahead and renew my ID right there, and show the bartender my renewal receipt. She proceeds to bring back the manager and I'm told again they can't serve because they don't have a copy. Your manager and bartender should be aware that this copy of the receipt is a valid document for renewal and serves as a substitute until the actual card arrives in the mail. I was a bartender for 10 years, I still keep my TABC updated even though I'm out of the industry. This could have not even been any sort of issue if your manager stated "this is our private policy" but instead she stated that she had to HAVE a copy, which legally stating isn't true. With that being said, your bartender overpoured my friend's drink. To the point it was not suitable for drinking. There's some massive inconsistencies here in terms of awareness of TABC law at your bar. I don't like making a big deal of things, but I really didn't appreciate feeling like was a teenager trying to get an illegal drink when I'm 36 years old just trying to have a drink with my friends lol. I felt incredibly unwelcome and it killed the mood for all of us who were having a great evening catching up until that point. Even worse was hearing how your bartenders were talking to other patrons, which my friend also pointed out to me. I don't think any of us will be returning, which is pretty unfortunate.

Found this place when in town visiting my son at UNT and was looking for a place that served food after 10. Big open space with indoor and outdoor seating. You take a menu, find a seat, order at the counter or bar when ready and they bring it to your table! I got the seasoned chips and guacamole.. we all agreed some of the best we'd ever had. They have a huge salsa bar which includes at least 6 types of salsa, pico, onions, cilantro, limes and jalapeño....AWESOME!!! My son and his girlfriend got the birria plate and finished every morsel! I had a Modelo draft, kids said margaritas were good! They said they will definitely be back! Fun, cool relaxed atmosphere.

This place makes absolutely delicious food. The chips and salsa bar AMAZING TACOS are all different kinds of meats and delicious The customer service was so great. The young ladies are so sweet. Restaurant is very spacious/friendly with people and that part WON my business. My son attends UNT it was the best place for us to have lunch. Great for large gatherings and families, nice bar, and large back with heaters for cool nights. Great for kiddos

I am OBSESSED with this place!! Not only does it never disappoint, but it continues to exceed my expectations. I always go in expecting whatever I order to be good but somehow I'm never prepared for HOW GOOD it always ends up being. Also - the service is always immaculate!! Everyone is so kind and helpful!! This time around, I decided to try one of their Tuesday specials, the Nacho Libre. My sister was raving about these nachos awhile ago so I was pumped to finally try them. These are hands down some of the greatest nachos on the planet! The carne asada was so flavorful and tender, queso was on point, chips were fresh and top tier as always, the vegetables and all the toppings were fantastic!! 1000000/10 would absolutely get again!!

I ordered carne asada tacos. They were standard. My husband ordered beef flautas and those were amazing!!! Probably the best I've had. We shared a watermelon agua fresca. It was very good and they have quite a few flavors and you can sample them before buying. The guacamole was chunky and perfect. The side of chips and salsa were tasty as well. I didn't know whether we would be seated or not. Then a worker said the menus were behind me. Then you order at the counter. I was a little confused about this at first but once you know, you know. I noticed that the restaurant smelled strongly of fabuloso cleaner. It was overwhelming. I'm not sure if they had just cleaned or what. That being said, the restaurant was very clean.

Wow!! I totally loved this spot. Everything we ate was delicious and we even went for seconds. We had asada taco, quesabirria taco, campeche quesadilla, horchata, consomé, and elote. The meat is tender and rich, nothing was greasy, the salsas are full of flavor and controlled heat. The consomé was flavorful, served very hot which I appreciate, and not greasy. I was visiting from LA and would be extremely happy to have a spot like this back home. And that means a lot because tacos in LA rock! Service was great, place is clean. They have a great salsa bar. They have a full bar in the back, pario seating, ample seating inside. Clean restrooms.

Sooo glad my friend took me to this taco spot. I really love Denton and what it offers!! And this spot is definitely one of them. They had a variety of tacos to choose from, and I went with the classic plus something different. I chose the Al Pastor, Carne Asada and the cactus with potatoes! AMAZING CHOICES! And the salsa bar is TOPPPP NOTCH!!!! The elotes had all the right flavors- although I did wish I got more as the serving size a little. I cannot wait to come back with more friends! They have a huge indoor and outdoor space. The weekends I heard are crazy here. 5 stars for good vibes and good food!

I had a great time at El Taco H. When I walked in there were 3 or 4 customers in front of me but I definitely see why. The cashier at the front will greet you with a smile and help you take your order. I remember having the big burrito and that thing was packed with some amazing food. I had not heard of any of the meats that the cashier listed but I'm glad I asked her to choose what she likes best. It was so good. The only thing that I noticed is that their tablet will automatically select 20% tip so you may want to watch out for that if you want to choose a different option. Also for the small things like a quesadilla, recommend that the customer buy two or let them know that it's a small item. You can definitely tell that the company has invested in technology. They give you a device that looks like the ones which vibrate when you're waiting for a table at a crowded restaurant. But you put the device on the table and when your food is ready the staff actually know where to bring the food out to. The design of the place is amazing. It's a wrestling theme that reminds me of Nacho Libre but they do it in a way where it's entertaining but also how a restaurant should look. Currently, if you go on the 1st or 3rd Friday you'll want to wait around. Because there's this nice guy nicknamed "Salsa with Jo" who gives a free dance lesson on how to do Bachata. The most memorable thing was how hard the staff work. I needed a to go box for my big burrito. The manager had acknowledged me and took the time to get me one. As far as cleanliness goes, there is no complaints. There's a taco bar area and because the dancing started I put my empty drink down as I didn't see any garbages that were out. Within 5 minutes it was picked up because the staff that is in charge of making it nice is constantly checking it for quality. I live 30 minutes away from this location but I look forward to spending more time eating at El Taco H.

Great spot to get tacos in Denton. I'm from a Mexican neighborhood in Chicago so I am not going to be fooled by any tacos. These however were delicious! Nice big patio outside where you can just hang out and have some cocktails. Awesome place for kids.

Great afternoon lunch. Came here after our hike in the nearby Lake Worth Nature area. I got the chicken cheese steak. Very nicely cooked. Chicken was not dry or overcooked. The bun was the right kind of thickness. Our 13 yo got the one meat plate (brisket) with a loaded bake potato. The meat was fork-cut tender and very juicy. When we got back in the car he said everything was great. He added he would try the three-meat plate next time. The spouse got the loaded potato skins with a side salad. She said it was great but that everything had too much cheese. Clearly she's wrong because that's not a real thing. None of us had any leftovers which meant all of the portion sizes were perfect. We'll come here again after next hike. I'm gonna try the three meat plate too.

I've eaten here several times when visiting family in Denton and it never disappoints! The food is delicious, and it's so easy to order a la carte or a taco plate to try the different items available. We came with a large party on one ticket last night and the servers were very patient delivering the food for 20+ people. Everyone's orders were accurate too, it was impressive. There was plenty of space outside for us to eat, and it was an overall great experience. Sometimes going to a restaurant with a big group is a huge burden and El Taco H made us feel welcome and brought us some amazing complimentary churros as well.
