El Huarache Loco

Waited for my food for 20 minutes then on top of it the order was wrong ! Wish (a) they could hire more people (b) understand English and (c) get the order right. ?Not a place I will return too

We were nearby and I was in the mood for Mexican food so we thought we’d give it a try. I ordered the chicken enchiladas mole and chips and salsa bar (they have plastic baskets of chips stacked up which are not fresh, and a ramekin of salsa crudo so small you can only get a corner of a chip in - all for $4.50!) while she ordered the Huarache chicken. If it’s in their name she thought they should be good. She never found out.
When our food came out, I got mine, but she got a plate of chicken mole. That she did not order. She neither likes or ever orders mole. When we told the server that, she said that was what we ordered. Only I heard her order Huarache chicken. The one who didn’t was the guy at the register who takes the orders. Then in order to prove her point, the server brought out the ticket which only proves he typed in the wrong order. She told us she couldn’t and wouldn’t replace her meal. We sat there awkwardly waving flies away (both doors were wide open on a gloomy, cool day) while I picked at my enchiladas. The mole had a stale, musty taste, and the plate of food looked as gray as the sky. We got up and left $50+ of food on the table. It’s the first time I’d ever done that. I let them know I was not happy and would be writing a negative review. They simply did not care.
Not a good way to run a business.
Good news is that just a few miles away in San Rafael, Sabor a Mexico had a table for two just waiting for us. Unlike El Huarache Loco, this place is inviting and warm, service is friendly and respectful, and the food is appetizing, colorful, hot and delicious. And complimentary warm chips and salsa are brought out as soon as you sit down. Miles apart in more ways than one.
We will never, ever go back to El Huarache Loco and will warn everybody we like to stay away from it.

Just okay mexican.

El Huarache Loco is an absolute gem! Everything we've tried here is high quality and delicious. Our favorites are the steak tacos, huaraches, and chilaquiles. The atmosphere is wonderful and it's become a gathering place for our entire family to enjoy the food and each other's company. Highly recommend!

The Gordita lacked any crispness, as the shell was a dense pancake, and the raw onions and cilantro were topped by the pastor. The portion was serviceable, but it lacked the mouth feel without that crunch. And why are a small basket of chips $4.50?

I’m a proponent of supporting local businesses so I was anxious to try them out. And, they have biria specials, which I love! My first meal came with a bone and 2 bay leaves and were somehow in the body of the meat. I choked on one of the bay leaves.

So, I wanted to give them another try and came home to a Tuesday taco special order which was not my order. I was resigned to just eat it but I tossed it as it was completely flavorless. I could not tell you if it was chicken, pork, pastor or whatever other protein.

I phoned the restaurant and spoke with one of the owners and told her of the situation. I apologized to her and told her that I didn’t mean to be a bitxch but I thought for their prices that there would be more care with their food.

I guess she put me in my place and was offended that I said the word, twice. So much for giving them another try.

We got food poisoning here. Would not re commend it!

The nopales tacos and the asada tacos were terrific. They came out quickly and were served with a warm smile. This place is clean. I’d go again. The cafe de Olla needs more cinnamon and clove, but was made with quality coffee that tasted quite fresh and didn’t leave me jittery.

The tacos were very yummy and authentic. The service was friendly and prompt. The sangria was absolutely amazing, with fresh fruit inside at a great price. In a great location next to the ferry in a picturesque shopping plaza.
