Taqueria Hernandez: The Hidden Gem of Authentic Tacos in McKinney

I had a great experience at this taqueria! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for grabbing a casual meal or hanging out with friends. I especially want to mention the waitress with brown hair she’s so sweet and really takes great care of her customers. She’s kind, attentive, and makes sure everyone feels comfortable and happy. I’ll definitely be coming soon !!

New number 1 taco spot! Came in for lunch with the wife. Keep in mind its a 1 hour time crunch. Parking was easy. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and took a seat. Within 2 minutes a server came by and fot our drinks on the way. For drink we ordered fresh waters a jamaica and horchata. Thats the forst thing i judge right if the bat. The waters were really good , no disappointed there at all. Took a look at the menu which was full of great selections. From taco , mortar, flats enchiladas and gorditas with some soups. We ordered 5 tacos , 2 gorditas and a plate of rice and beans with a plain cheese quesadilla. 10 minutes later our food was served. The food looked really good with large portions for the meat on the tacos. Even the gorditas were large to my surprise. The cheese quesadilla was full of melted cheese l. I hoped the food tasted as good as it looked and it did not disappoint at all. 100% authentic Mexican taste. No texmex here!. This is now my top 2 taco spot in mckinney. There's alot of competition but this is one of the best!. Don't hesitate to stop by and eat here !

Visited Taqueria Hernandez in McKinney, TX, with a good buddy I hadn’t seen in six months. He’s been a regular since 2008 and knows the hardworking family behind this gem. The restaurant was spotless , and our waiter was attentive, recommending specials and options—spot on! The food was phenomenal; it felt like grandma’s cooking . I’ll definitely be back with my family on the weekend to enjoy authentic handmade Mexican food . Highly recommend!

I ordered to go, and the food was out quick. The staff were quick and friendly. The tacos were very good. Al pastor and barbacoa were my favorites.

I recently moved to mckinney and i don’t know any good spots , this one was down the street BUT THIS ONE was honestly the best taco place ive been too ! a lady from the front welcomed me felt like i was at home with my mom 10/10 i recommend this spot !

A nice little hole in the wall with some tasty food. My burrito had a nice flavor, stuffed to the brim to where it fell apart. I will say I asked for no tomato but from the photo, there was a big chunk of it inside. My family enjoyed their chicken tacos and enchiladas. The elote had just a tad too much mayo throughout. The drink selection wasn't much, I ended up with water. The Service was nice and friendly. There seems to be only two servers at night, and the rush was a lot. They got everything out one by one, but in a timely manner. The parking is pretty bad though. We parked across the street at the pawn shop. Overall it's a nice sit down place for a quick bite.

My favorite place for sopes, tortas and Mexican steak plate. A family owned Mexican restaurant. For me, their food is the best in the area. Homemade tortillas, sopes, and gorditas. Their salsas are the best. The prices are very affordable and the service is always excellent. The chocolate and fresas con crema ice cream are delicious!

Ordered fajita sopes and tacos (fajita, barbacoa, al pastor). Went next door and ordered mangonada and fresas con crema, and when we got back, the food was already ready. Didn't have a chance to get pictures since they were so good. Green salsa and red salsa were both good. (Red is hotter than green) Overall, would definitely go again.
