Tortilleria La Sabrocita

If hole in the wall had a poster child, this would be it. I had a Cubano Torta with fries on the side. Saw they had chicharron con carne on display as well. Sat down and chips and salsa were brought out. Salsa was warmed up and tasted amazing (think 1990's Chili's salsa with more picante). Didn't open up a single ketchup packet because dipping my fries in the salsa tickled that ketchup and fries itch and then some. The place to sit down to eat is a bit on the small side so I would recommend grabbing to go, but the overall food quality (at least for my Cubano) is really excellent. Give it a chance, grab some breakfast tacos, a lunch item or two, and give this place an honest chance to prove it is authentic Mexican cuisine north of the border.

Omg!!! This place has great tacos, I love street tacos!! These have been the best since I recently moved here!! They tacos were so full of meat! I had the steak and Monday-Thursday I believe she said those days your meal comes with a drink!! I paid less than 11 dollars for 3 tacos rice and beans with soda!! I will definitely be back!!

This location is a little older with an awkward location with plenty of parking. The food is made fresh, and the tortillas, both corn and flour, were really good. The portions are bigger than most places where I have eating. Atmosphere is good, but our table wasn't wiped down where we sat. The employees speak both English and Spanish and are very customer friendly. Fresh chips and hot sauce. The salsa verde was good, as the red salsa with the chips was a little different. Good though, I just wish I knew where it originally came from (the recipe). I haven't eaten here in over 10 years, but it was good!

Had the menudo. A little spicy & no hominy. The corn tortillas were good. Had the chorizo/ egg breakfast plate. It was okay. We ordered coffee- they had to replace it- it was bad. Place needs a makeover. Staff was very friendly! However, I would pass on this place.

My husband just went and ordered the 5 tacos meal to go. He specifically asked for beef with solo queso. He got home and not only was there no cheese at all they only gave him 4 tacos. The meal should have been $12 and they charged him $16. When he called and told them they were extremely rude and hung up on him. I do not recommend this place at all and on top of it the meat was super low quality and barely edible.

Definitely Denton’s hidden gem if you’re looking for the best tacos with corn tortillas in the area. Fresh made tacos is what I’ve tried today. The hot sauce was great but could be a little more thicker and verde hot sauce options would be nice too if they offer it. Definitely will come back for more to try the Tortas, Enchiladas and definitely Fajitas…

I had simply 2 breakfast tacos. One bacon and egg, one potato and egg. The bacon and egg looked like it was hours before serving to me. The potatoes in the other were about half cooked. Not just gross but horrible enough to get to post this review. All the raves about this place are merely fairy tales.

Stopped by after finding this spot on google. My tacos were delicious my boyfriend had the asada fries deff would come back again! Small dine in area but its expected for the size of the establishment.

Don't judge the look of building (if it looks sketchy 9x out of 10 the food is the best) ...Friday and Saturday they are open 24 hours (the after hours club fix) I recommend pretty much everything on the menu

Got delivery through DoorDash. Fast and everything I would need was there. Chicken was dry. The salsas helped a bit, but both were red & spicy so that over powered the taste of the chicken. Lots of onion and cilantro, which I loved. Wish there was extra lime for 5 tacos; the 2 didn't go very far. I also got elote which was alright. It was kind of flat; El Taco H has a fantastic elote that's hard to beat and naturally what I compared it to. Some tajin and more cotija cheese would've made it much better; ratio was off. It wasn't terrible, it wasn't amazing. Wouldn't order it again. I'd like to try something else from here.

This small Authentic Mexican restaurant is a very small place in Denton. The exterior and interior are not fantastic but they prepare their food from the scratch and fresh too. They have the best Enchiladas . I recommend but don't expect a luxurious surroundings.

Good news is that there opens 24 hr on weekend now .yay talking about having a bit meal on your way back to work .

Como mexicana, pocos lugares con auténtico sabor mexicano. As a Mexican woman, few places with the authentic Mexican flavor.

First time here and it definitely a good taco shop. I had the three meat taco dinner with rice and beans. Had fajitas meat, Barbacoa and the barbacoa was definitely my favorite. But to be honest it not the tacos that will keep me going back. They had some amazing dolce de Leche cake and wow a fat kids dream... On Friday and and Saturday's they are open 24 hours so skip the fast food and get some late night tacos and dessert..

Just a solid little Mexican food joint that you could easily drive by and miss - but you'd miss out on some great tacos and regular Mexican staples. The service was good and the atmosphere very local and down to earth. A definite great place to stop if you're in the area!

Tortillas La Sabrocita may not look like much from the outside but WOW the food here is delicious and fresh! The best hole-in-the-wall Mexican spot in Denton that is open 24/7! Homemade tortillas and chips make the nachos the BOMB. They load the nachos up with meat, cheese, guac, sour cream, beans, and jalapeños. Highly recommend trying something new and not a "traditional sit down Mexican restaurant". You won't be disappointed!

Beautiful mouth feel Go try it It's worth it Reminds me of my brother He recommended it to me

Like Authentic? Eat where the Locals eat? Get treated well? Demand great food and large portions? Easy off road parking? And the feel of real Mexican? Then look no more. I stop there anytime I am in Denton. I also buy food to go to give the workers at Gohlke pool that help me care for my pool. Great two stop trip.

If you're looking for solely good authentic Mexican food this is the place. The places to sit are not that great and it's a little crammed, but if you want good hospitality go to mi cocina or something.

This restaurant is one of my favorite places to eat in Denton and its surrounding areas. The food is absolutely delicious and authentic. Highly highly recommend.

The food looked good. Tasted ok, but I could not get over the big nasty hole in the wall of the booth we sat at. The rest of the place was not the best.... Also, the overpowering smell of fabuloso. I will never come back here.

Got Carnegie asada burritos it comes with three great bang for your buck they also deliver

Por un Tiempo estuve comprando tortilla y Guisados aquí pero ahora la calidad está muy mal, no se que les pasa pero creo que el problema son el constante cambio de cocineros y la comida tampoco es del día, compre un plato de chiles Rellenos de fajitas de res sin sabor fresco, Tamales recalentados resecos y negros salados. Que tampoco eran del día, para terminar un medio pollo disecado negro con sangre grasoso que no era más ni nada menos como sobras este (Pollo) era remiendas de pedazos, Lastima y que Robó no pudimos comer nada, es una lastima que nuestro orgullo de Restaurantes mexicanos nos vendan esta (Comida) de baja Calidad.

An amazing hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. Their meat is seasoned well and the food is consistently good. The nachos mexicanos are by far the best nachos I've ever had (they use real cheese!). Everything is very reasonably priced. The should charge more honestly

I'm not changing the rating, but I have a lot more to say than I did in my last review. There are a lot of great taquerias in Denton that have my favorite of one thing or another. I'm actually obsessed with keeping track of who has the best pollo or barbacoa or carnitas. In truth, this location doesn't have the best of any of the meats. However, everything here is very, very good! So instead of having awesome al pastor, but terrible barbacoa, you'll be pretty satisfied with everything you get here. In addition, this place has the best overall price AND they have the BEST chips and salsa in town! Really, they could be 5 stars if it weren't for the extremely different experience you get on the weekends (3 star) versus a weekday (5 star). Almost the entire menu is between $5.99-$7.99 with only a couple of items being higher. They also sell meat by the pound and a la carte items, which I take advantage of when I want a snack. They have pretty decent agua fresca, but the only other beverage options are cans of soda. In my opinion, the best deal is the weekday taco special. For $5.99 you get 3 tacos, rice, beans and a coke. I usually get this and dine in, so I also enjoy the chips and salsa. It's such a good deal and I always leave full. I always get 3 different meats so I have some variety. There is an upcharge for flour tortillas (but the corn is good) and there is also an upcharge if you get this special on the weekend. The chips are their tortillas (which they make in house, of course) that are cut into pieces and fried up. They are thick and hearty, which are my favorite type of tortilla chips and have the best crisp to them! The salsa is delicious, it's served warm and is a bit spicy and has great flavor. It's not overly sweet or heavy on the tomato flavor like a lot of places, it's just flavor and heat. I think this may be the only taqueria in town to offer complimentary chips and salsa to dine in customers, and they really are my favorite in Denton. Weekday afternoon and evening service has always been quick and polite here. The quality of the meats have always been on point during these visits as well. It's more likely that you will find an open table or a table that will open soon so you can take advantage of dining in. Considering it's 4 booths and 4 tables, that's great! Everything about my weekday visits have been perfect. I've only been here on the weekends a handful of times. You would think the line wouldn't get too crazy since they are 24 hours on the weekend. That would make me think people would spread out their visits, but nope! No matter what time I come- morning, afternoon, late, off peak there is a long line during the weekend. Additional weekend notes- they are always short handed, it's less likely you will get a table (a lot less likely), if you do get a table it's 50/50 that they will have time to bring you chips and salsa, wait times are a little longer (though not unreasonable). My biggest issue with the weekend visits is the quality of the meat. I want to make it clear that they are CONSTANTLY banging out orders non stop when I come on the weekends, so I get it and I understand, but it's just not the same. I have had chunks of fat or gristle and sometimes the meat has a chewy texture on these visits. It's not every time by any means, but when it happens to me, it's only on the weekend. It's still a good meal, just less enjoyable. To be clear, I have had weekend visits that are just as good as a weekday visit, but I don't come on the weekends too often because I know there is a chance I will come across the above mentioned issues. However, I don't even think twice if I'm coming on a Wednesday, because I know everything will be great. Hey, if this place was only open Monday through Friday, I would definitely give them 5 stars for the quality of the food and drinks and it being such a fantastic value! I would give 6 stars for the chips and salsa! Unfortunately, that's not the case, so I have to factor in the 'still good, but not fantastic' visits as well. It's still a great spot for a meal regardless and I will continue to give them my business. This isn't in my top 3, but I would say it's in my top 4 for being good overall, and my top choice for overall value (and chips/salsa) because I love a good deal! Check them out!

I had heard this is where you go after a night of drinking, but I am here to say it is good any time of the day. They have the best tortas. They are so juicy and delicious. I also like their chips and salsa. Their eating area is small, and it usually fills up with construction works at lunch, but I often will just get it to go. There is usually plenty of parking. It is the true definition of a hole-in-a-wall restaurant, but it is so worth the visit.

I discovered this place after reading my friend Manda C's review. She lives in Denton so I knew she wouldn't steer me wrong. After leaving the movies, I drove straight to Tortilleria La Sabrocita. I skipped the popcorn and candy and saved my appetite for dinner. All I could think about were tacos while watching the movie. LOL The lady at the counter was very friendly and while looking over the menu I peeked into the kitchen to see another woman making fresh tortillas. They also make their tortilla chips from scratch. I completely forgot to order chips and salsa but will do so on my next visit. Chips and Salsa are complimentary for dine in but I actually ordered my food to go. They have at least a dozen or more combo meals, family meals and meat by the pound. Not only do they have freshly bagged Tortilla Chips on display, they also sell Salsa, Queso Cheese, Crema Mexicana, Pico De Gallo and Guacamole. After browsing the menu, I decided to get their Beef Fajita Nachos, Beef Burrito dinner and the Jamaica drink. I love Jamaica but it's hard finding a place that sells it. When I walked in my house, I dropped my purse and devoured everything. Well not all in one sitting. The meat was seasoned well and very juicy. They put so much meat on my nachos but maybe it's because I only wanted beef and cheese with the veggies on the side. The beef burrito dinner was also very good. Overall, their food is delicious, prices are very reasonable and their customer service is excellent. I'm definitely coming back again soon.

Great mom and pop authentic Mexican restaurant in Denton. The food was delicious and staff were friendly. I will be coming here again when in Denton. It's not too busy on Sunday evening. The tacos are excellent, especially the Pastor tacos. If you are looking for a great Mexican joint, hit this up.

I only had the horchata, but it was delicious and the service was super quick!! I'm definitely going again to try their food.

THEY HAVE VEGAN OPTIONS!! They make vegan al pastor tacos out of soy meat so freaking good!!! Authentic!! Fresh tortillas, tostones, salsas and guacamole. Oh and the Jamaica is bomb try it out!!

Real deal place right here. Pretty small inside so I can peak times can be a challenge. The food was fresh. My flautos were fresh and amazing. Refried bean and rice so good. So to the salsa...amazing warm temperature but awesome spicy. Service was wonderful. Appreciate going to a real deal place and easy English. Not required but nice.

Today we were driving through Denton en route to Kansas at lunch time. I attend school here nearly 30 years ago, so wanted a little lunch with my nostalgia. More importantly, I wanted authentic Mexican food, since it is non-existent in Florida where we live now. The place I used to eat Mexican here is no longer in business, so we decided to check this little place out because of the reviews on Yelp. It is nothing to look at from the outside (or inside for that matter), but is definitely worth a stop! There were quite a few foods waiting for their takeaway orders but only a couple of folks eating in. That was prob a good thing since seating is limited to three tables and maybe five blocks both. It's an order and pay at the counter kind of place. Service quick and food was out before we could finished the delish homemade chips and salsa. Hubs had chicken enchiladas with salsa verde. I had theTrio Antojito combo platter with Gordita, sope, and street taco...Al pastor was the meat for all three. It can with bean, rice, sour crema and sliced avacado ...also couldn't resist and added a tamale de elote on the side. Everything was absolutely amazing, well seasoned, not to hot or spicy. Washed it down with a mandarin jarritos soda. The price was unbelievable inexpensive...definitely the one$ on yelp is accurate. We were stuffed but we ordered 6 homemade churros to go anyway- half cream and half caramel. We were just too full to eat them, but they looked and smelled delicious. Absolutely everything was homemade except the soda. Chips, tortillas, churros, sides, meats....all homemade and killed it!!!. This stop definitely made the quick trip so worth it. I would have been in real trouble had it been open when I was in school here. I would definitely be a regular if I lived here!! Sorry there are no pix. I even got my phone out to take them, but the food looked so amazing when it arrived at the table, we dove right in before we thought of pix.

Sabrocitas really falls in the middle with all the other options in Denton. There's a couple things I dislike about them, but when I find myself on this side of town, or hungry for tacos at 3 AM, I still stop in. I've had a couple different meat options here, and have always had some bits of gristle or fat on it every time. However, if I get something with just beans and cheese I can make it work. The beans are a little bland, but I really like the salsa here so it defiantly helps spruce it up. I like that they give you free chips and salsa when you are eating in, I don't think they do that at many other taquerias around town. The chips are really thick, and delicious. However sometimes they do forget to bring them! I also really like the rice here, and the tortillas are of course awesome! Sometimes I stop by just to pick up a dozen corn or flour. Overall, not my favorite out there but defiantly pretty good!l

So walking in the doors were a little confusing but that just might be us lol, walking in was met with a family owed type of vibe. The customer service was very good and welcoming. You get a good price for what you're getting. What we got today was a Taquiza, 5 tacos, 4 carnitas and 1 barbacoa de res. The barbacoa wasn't as juicy as I would have hoped and could use a little bit more flavor. As for the carnitas, in my personal preference I prefer more meat than cuerritos or fat. With that being said, the carnitas had a bigger fat/cuerritos ratio than the meat. If you prefer cuerritos then this is may be the taco for you, otherwise had pretty good taste. The chips and salsa were really good, the salsa was warmed. The salsa verde was more chunky then liquidity. The rice was also very good and the beans were a little bit salty but otherwise made a great combination of rice and beans. The limon and cilantro were fresh, and everything was nice and clean. We will be coming back to try the rest!

I am in town from Kansas City getting my son settled at UNT... what better place to try authentic Mexican food then Texas? I used yelp and decided to try something new and I am glad I did! The restaurant is brightly colored on the corner so you can't miss it. Inside is very small for dine in... With Covid only four tables available but much of the traffic was carry out and I had no trouble finding a table. I got the number 12 taco special with Carnitas, Pastor and Cachete. It came with rice and beans, homemade tortilla chips and an amazing spicy salsa...Not to mention a can of soda for 7.99!!! The place was very busy for lunch and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Although I finished everything on my plate, it was far more than I needed. The portions I saw go by were huge and it was one of the most delicious meals I've had in a long time. If I lived here this would be a regular stop. I will definitely be back and highly recommend

Great job being covid aware with being a small shop. Phenomenal tacos. Great chips, guac, salsa, everything! I love this small spot. The only thing I could see them fixing is the order line and people waiting to pick up their order. A little confusing for those trying not to "line jump". Overall I'd say 94/100.

Big Tortas, size of my hand! Had taco plate which comes with rice and beans. Kinda sad they didn't have enchiladas though, maybe once they open completely. Overall good authentic food!!

The store itself is pretty small. Food was decent, but I've had better here in Denton. 5 tacos for $6 is the way to go here. I got 2 pastor tacos and 3 barbacoa tacos. Pastor definitely tasted better. My friend got the quesadilla meal with chicken. I don't know why but the chicken was super red, however it still tasted good. The quesadillas were pretty basic though. I feel like I could've made it at home.

Found this little gem. Let me say if you know, you know . I love their fresh made tortillas both corn and flour. Have a fiesta?? Say no more! I literally bought 3lbs of carnitas and 3lbs of fajita under $100 with tortillas. Feeling lazy?! Me too they have good size salsa as well. This is my go to place for my family. Thanks for staying open until 9pm for me.

Love love love this place! Amazing street tacos! Amazing price! Definitely worth! A must try! The meats are perfectly seasoned and delicious. They are never too dry like some places. I always get the chicken and pastor with flour tacos for my order and it's the best. The atmosphere is very authentic. Definitely not a ripoff street taco/Mexican restaurant. When in Denton, a must try if you're craving tacos! The service is also awesome. Very friendly, helpful people!

Food was okay nothing that made me want to come back but wasn't terrible either. But the goat tacos/burrito had small pieces of sharp bones that were way too frequent. I get one to even 3 times but every other bite I had to make sure I wasn't swallowing it, was a mess.

It's ok. Good food if you're drunk. Great food if you're really too drunk to know the food is basic. I'll go here before going to Torchys Tacos or any other "chain" though. I want to give them a 4 but the service sucked. They literally let me stand there talking to each other for 10min before even acknowledging my presence. Training an employee ID no excuse to look at me and not at least say "Hello"!?

First let me start off by saying that I am not from Denton. I was there passing through, hungry and wanted tacos so I googled and this came up as my third option (because the other options were closed) so I gave it a Go when I got there the menu seemed very interesting they had everything but at the same time I was very indecisive because now I wanted everything that was on the menu the smell of the place is great as you can tell everything is made fresh.. the beverage selection was your typical bottled soda but the food is what made it amazing!! the cashier (a tall blonde) had the most outgoing energy and was ready to explain every dish on the menu.. I asked her for a recommendation she said "how heavy do you w ant it or how amazingly delicious do you want it?" (With a great smile) I said "both" she proceeded on suggesting I try a Hawaiian torta and a taco of fajita to keep it safe. so I told her I wanted to be more adventurous because of the flavors and the smells that I was experiencing.. she suggested the taco combo.. it has 4 tacos I got Barbacoa, tongue, tripe, and chicken they were all amazingly delicious!!! I cannot believe such a delicious establishment was hidden so well in Denton I will definitely go back just for the tacos alone I can't wait to try the rest of the menu too.. I would have taken a picture to show this place off but I dove right in and before I knew it I was done .. (don't judge me.. it was delicious)

Been here a couple of times but it is my first check in because I am horrible at yelping. The store itself is very small but still has that feel of authentic Mexican food as you can see the food being cooked. I would say the prices are also good for what you are getting so that is why I have rated this store a 4/5. However, I would not get the gordita because it taste pretty bland in my opinion. The best bang for your buck is the 5 tacos for $7 which is a steal in my opinion. Also, flour tortillas are much larger then the corn version, so if you do not really mind, I would get the flour! Overall, a good restaurant to check out and try if you are craving tacos.

Came for the first time and ordered street tacos to go. Was on taco 3 of 4 when i found a long piece of fried plastic in my food. Probably won't go again after this experience.

Yummmmm A+ food! Probably best Mexican food in Denton. Don't misss out on the goods (:

Really great and authentic Mexican food! The staff was nice and friendly and helped us go over the menu. They have a lot options, and pretty much any type of Mexican food you can think of, including lots of torta options. We ordered veggie tacos, a veggie sope, and a veggie gordita. It came with a basket a homemade chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were great! The chips were thick and perfectly cooked. They sell bags of their chips and I will buy some someday. The salsa is spicy and served warm, which I love. So good! The rest of the food was really good, tasted fresh and homeade. It came with a green sauce and another red sauce, but they were not real flavorful. The restaurant itself is pretty small. You order and then find a table instead of having a waiter. To be honest, it's not super clean so be ready for that. It has the feel of an old authentic restaurant. Food is really good though. Will definitely go again.

Okay so I'm a super Mexican and love authentic Mexican food.. This is the place to go for gorditas, enchiladas, Tortas, chorizo, tacos de chicharrón etc.. Although I had the Milanesa and it was too chewy for me but by far everything else was authentic.. They have fresh corn tortillas and flour tortillas I bought a pack to go It's not a fancy restaurant .. Definitely a hole in the wall.. And limited seating. We luckily found an open booth for my family of six and put a chair at the end.. You just walk in and seat your self.. And order in the next room nobody waits on you.. We did dine there and I didn't mind it.. They have Mexican Coke, Jarritos and fresh juice I had pineapple it was Very good.

Best authentic steak tacos!!! Just well-seasoned tender steak, onions, and cilantro. Our Favorite!

If you're ever in Denton searching for authentic Mexican food and you're on a budget BUT you don't want to sacrifice good quality...THEN COME HERE! First off the parking is not the greatest i'll be honest. Once inside there isn't ample seating, i would say maybe 9 tables at the max, hence the reason most people take it to go. Secondly, my food review, I had the Quesadilla combo platter that comes with rice and beans, and lettuce and tomato all for $6.50!!! There is a variety of different types of meat you can choose, I went with my favorite "Borrego" or lamb. Ahhhh we live in a world where are common taquerias don't carry lamb these days, so for this place to have lamb it became my special spot. The lamb tasted so good, i gave it a pinch more of salt, and it was simply delicious. The quesadilla as a whole was big and filling for a guy like myself who eats a lot. Rice and beans were very good, and it tasted like home. Everything on this menu is reasonably priced. I would recommend ordering the combo platters, like the number 1 or number 2...... ordering up there and saying you want tacos and then you want something like a quesadilla... make a bit more expensive. So stick with the menu to get the most out of your money. Ultimately, Its hard to find places these days that will sell delicious food that will keep you full for under $7. Forget Chipotle and they're stingy chicken 1 scoops and come here and eat!

Best value for tacos in town. Barbacoa is delicious, and last time I checked, they had Lengua (not all places have it), which is also great. Nothing is really out of the ordinary, here. It's a taqueria that's open late and that everyone can afford to try.

I absolutely love this resturant. It is soo cheap and they give a good amount of food. When I come here I always get the 5 taco plate (about 7.60) and ask for flour tortillas because they make thier own and its soo good! They even sell thier tortillas in packets so if your tryna have a taco night at home and need some tortillas get it here. The restaurant is fairly small and lots of people togo from here. There is limited seating but usually it isn't too hard to find a seat. Since this is near the universities, you can find a lot of college students here sometimes. I always passed by this on the way to school and gave it a try when a friend recommended it to me and loved this place ever since. I wish it was closer because I would come here more often. They have a lot of options but my favoirte is thier tacos. I love thier brisket but thier chicken and steak is good too! The resturant is bright yellow so you can't miss it. Try it out!

For sure one of the best Mexican food places in Denton! The first time I walked in, there were two or three hispanic families dining in and I was the only white person in the building, so I knew I was in the right place to get some dang good Mexican food haha Upon entering, you walk through a pretty small and modest dining area to the ordering line. The menu has a few pictures if you're not sure of the dish, and you also get to watch the employees through a window making their super fresh house-made tortillas! Everyone I've encountered there has been super nice and helpful. Amazing food, and they're open 24 hours on weekends! Go to that little yellow place on Dallas!!!

Amazing, authentic mexican food with fast, friendly service. This place is a must visit! Especially if you love tacos!!

Tacos al Pastor estan deliciosos, but are really fatty, which may explain the deliciousness! Reliable quality & order a dozen pork tamales... Goodness in a corn husk!!! ¡autenticos!

This place is off the chain. I haven't eaten at any other Mexican places in town yet but seeing as this is in my neighborhood and this good maybe I won't ever have to. I mean, I will, but I'm in no hurry.

Best Mexican food I've had in dfw and affordably priced. Try the #13 with Barbacoa. Highly recommend this place if your looking for some authentic Mexican food.

Tacos tacos tacos!! Love this place!! I love the asada tacos!! Everything is so fresh!! The burritos are huge!! Complimentary chips and salsa when you dine in!! I heard the tamales are great although I have yet to try them. Last time I was there I saw the nachos for the first time and they looked amazing!!
