Local + Small: A Denton Local Guide.

When it comes to eating dinner in downtown Denton, the choices seem endless. But what about lunch —especially during the week? Now, that's a different story. So I did some research to find out which restaurants are open for lunch most days of the week so folks who are near the Denton Square know where to go on any given day.

McKinney Street is considered taqueria district, but you can find them scattered throughout downtown and to the edge of town.  So how do you know which taquerias are best?  You're the judge of that.  Here's a few taquerias my husband and I visited on our self-proclaimed taco crawl, getting one taco each at each stop — and sticking to the same type of taco so we would know truly who had the BEST taco in Denton.

So rest assured, I will continue to add taqueria reviews to this list and update the blog if I determine there is a better taco out there than the one we picked.  Stop #1: La Estrella Rating: 5 stars What we got: One Barbacoa and one Carne Asada on a flour tor
