Down the street, around the corner, and up a tiny alleyway lies a little taco shop that we seriously dig. Flatlander's Tacos moved in just around a year ago as they made the leap from food truck to brick and mortar. Now that we don't have to track them down on twitter, we've been working our way through the menu, trying everything out just for you. (Okay, also because tacos.) Read on to find out what our favorite thing between two slices of bread is right now and why your life sucks if you aren't eating their churros on the regular.

Breakfast tacos from La Estrella are just one of the 15 best dishes in Denton.
THE 15 BEST DISHES IN DENTON
Denton's food scene has grown exponentially in the past decade. People drive from all over to come check out some of the newer (and older) restaurants that our town at the top of the triangle has to offer. We figured with all of the recent restaurant shuffling, we would highlight the fifteen dishes that we believe you should eat during your time in Denton. We've purposefully left out desserts (and drinks) because we will take a look at those in future posts, but believe us when we say we had plenty to choose from and nailing this down to fifteen was not so easy.

Welcome to What We Did, our photo round-up that is posted every Monday morning featuring photos from the past week - and what a week it was.
The Denton festival season is well underway now, y'all. Thin Line kicked it off in a big way. We aren't sure about y'all, but we had a great time (and we expect you did, too). In the middle of it, we ate way too much food at Juicy Pig so expect a post on that later on this week.
Below, are a bunch of photos tagged with #WDDI on Instagram (from both y'all and We Denton Do It contributors). Check them out for some instant nostalgia from the past week.
If you'd like to be included in What We Did, tag your images with #WDDI on Instagram, and check back here next Monday. Click the images below to be led back to the photographer's Instagram page where you can follow them and become BFFs.

T-minus one day until September, y'all. We're excited. Mostly because we're throwing a little end-of-summer shindig at the Civic Center Pool on Friday evening. We've got folks like Kevin Roden and Jamie Wilson cannonballing for a cause - the Denton Parks Foundation. We hope you head over to hang out with us and make a $5 donation. We're promising good times in advance.
What We Did is our weekly roundup of photos that WDDI staff and readers have taken over the past seven days. We've got nineteen of our favorite images from the past week in Denton, TX below. In this group, we've got plenty of scenes from the North Texas State Fair, new food, live music, and scenes from newer local oddities (because we love local oddities) .

Here's What We Did, our weekly photo recap of the past couple of days. Looks as if we spent a lot of time hanging out on or around the square. With Twilight Tunes kicking off our weekend early, we can't help but get those good summer vibes out and about. Follow that up with a Movie Night on the courthouse lawn, a Cinco de Mayo Parade, the Mudbug Boil, Free Comic Book Day, and a show from one of the best bands to ever come out of Denton, TX and you've got a pretty damned full week.
