We tried: - horchata (a bit sour) - al pastor tortas (love it, good crunch on the outside, creamy and filled with delicious al pastor on the inside) - bistec a la mexicana (like it, flavorful cube steak in tomato sauce with rice, bean, and tortilla) It’s affordable with great portion and flavors

Genuinely delicious. The quesabirria was heavenly, and the skirt steak huaraches was great. Service was great, cool environment, but even if it was bad I would still come back just for the food.

First time at Huaraches, I ordered a pastor burrito. Very good, pastor was so good. Had an horchata and loved it. Not overly sweet but just right. Salsa 10/10 not too spicy with a good taste to it. Love the open atmosphere, the waiter was friendly and very attentive. Not too busy for a Saturday night. Found plenty of parking. Definitely coming back soon.

I love this place. My friend and I had dinner at this place. I ordered the chicken tampiqueña and my friend the carne asada tampiqueña. My friend said that it was the first tampiqueña with soft and well cooked meat he ever had. The enmolada tasted very good, and I ordered a pineapple agua fresca it was deliciously fresh. And as dessert, we had nueve frita. The customer service is excellent. The food prices are good. I think this is my new favorite place!

The crew is always top notch, they explain to you the menu and make sure you under what you’re buying. I come here often since it’s in my neighborhood. Their prices are reasonable and the quality of their food is great, from presentation to the mouth😂❤️😋

It was a nice place but the food is what you would expect to be good. But IT WAS HORRIBLE. The nachos I was expecting a little bit more for presentation and taste , the nachos were very disappointing they reminded me of school nachos with the taste. The torta was again bland no flavor or anything to the torta . The Burrito was also bland as well so overall the food was bland they could have added more flavor . The wait time for long especially since it was only us in there I thought we would have have the nachos out first but we waiting a long time .
