Taqueria Monterrey - Denton

We’ve been an avid supporter of the Taqueria for over 10yrs. The staff is always very nice and the food is always exceptional. My issue with the establishment is ownership. It has come to my awareness that ownership has always kept their tips that we put on our credit cards. That's frustrating to me (and it should be to the community) because we all know that times are difficult and every penny we tip should be hitting the pockets of those in the front of house and back of house staff, the people on the front lines . Not the ownership. It is NOT okay to take the tips and rather give them a daily allowance for food. What if I don't want to eat the food and I need the money??? Well you still don't get the food nor the tip money. I hope this isn't a case of ownership taking advantage of their staff due to their immigration statuses, to me that's what it sounds like. I encourage the community to inquire about this matter when they decide to support this establishment. I will file a report with the Texas Labor Commission so they can investigate the matter further. Again, the staff service and food quality is exceptional. Authentic Mexican food at its finest! Ownership standards, not so much. I will follow up on this matter every time I visit, which we are a frequent visitor of. In the mean time, tip in cash. We have been an avid supporter of the Taqueria for over 10 years.

This is a hidden gem! They've got the best service and very tasty food!

I ordered a small shrimp cocktail today and it was the best shrimp cocktail I’ve had in all of Denton I took it to go so it was the size of a medium drink filled with a lot of shrimp and avocado . The sauce was perfect !!! Definitely coming back!!

Convenient location. The barbacoa was amazing! But everything else was horrible. Customer service was awful. The cashier seemed annoyed with everyone. Not going back. Better places everywhere!

GOD BLESS THE STAFF FROM THE OWNER TO HIS CHEFS VERY EXCELLENT RESTAURANT I ORDERED POSOLE UN MENUDO AND GORDITAS AND EVERYTHING SUPER TASTY AND THE FRESH WATERS VERY GOOD I LIVE MORE THAN AN HOUR FROM THE PLACE BUT IT'S WORTH IT I WILL CONTINUE VISITING THE PLACE I GIVE IT A 10 OUT OF 10 THANK YOU SO MUCH ?
