Taqueria 3 Carnales - Denton

The elotes served in a cup with Hot Cheetos quickly became a favorite; it’s hard to find good elotes! They use real corn, not canned, and the taste was excellent. This is the closest I've had to the elotes from Mexico—not exactly the same, but it doesn’t pretend to be. The nachos were the only item that didn't stand out; I would recommend skipping them to enjoy more tacos or gorditas. The quesabirria tacos were fantastic—don't forget to use the sauce they provide, as it adds a wonderful depth of flavor. I will definitely be returning to try more items and explore their breakfast options.

Once I reached my destination, I opened my elote only to find that there was no mayo in the cup, just a half-full cup of water instead. The Cheetos were soggy and the cotija cheese was watery. The only mayo present was a small amount on top (as shown in the picture). The corn itself was okay, not mushy, but overall, I was really disappointed with my food. I also tried the barbacoa burrito, which wasn't very good; it was mushy and the vegetables weren't of high quality. The other two dishes we ordered (five birria tacos and five steak fajita tacos) were delicious, according to the person who had them. I really love Mexican food, especially elotes, but unfortunately, this place didn't meet my expectations.

The food was absolutely fantastic! I tried four different types of tacos—pastor, fajita, chicken, and lengua—and loved each one of them. The quesadilla was excellent, and the corn was fresh and flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised to find Hot Cheetos used as a topping, which was a game-changer for me. This is a genuine Mexican restaurant with authentic chefs and a wonderful atmosphere. Plus, it's BYOB, which is an added bonus!

First time here and we loved it! We tried taco plate, quesabirria tacos, and a Gordita. All was super good!! Staff was very nice and friendly. We will be back soon to try more things from the menu.

I had the torta de fajita and the quesabirra plate about 2 days ago and it was amazing. David was a really nice person and a fast worker. really good service there. it’s a clean place and a place you could hang out with friends. 10/10 would recommend if you ever want to try a new place out.
