I love the service and food. I gave it 4 stars because it was cold inside. I did not say anything to the owner, so that was on me. I am sure that they would have tried yo accommodate. Seriously fantastic mango margaritas! And everything I've tried is delicious. If you are in a hurry order ahead because it is made fresh. Otherwise, order a margarita and stay and enjoy.

The ambiance was good, the services quite quick and attentive. I ordered a Carne asada burrito which we ate before I could even take a picture....as it was delicious. The carne asada torta was quite good as well. I was craving pupusas and that is the reason we tried this place, I'll have to try to.ordered it with easy cheese as it was quite salty, but the beans and pork in it was delicious. Overall it was a pretty good experience. I'll recommend it and come back to try another dishes

Had overall a bad experience. Terrible service and slow. We had a table of 6 people and they gave us a small basket of chips and Salsa. We asked for more and they ignored us. We asked again for more and they gave us the same salsa container from the previously, and only a quarter was filled with Salsa. I had the fried quesadilla and it was mediocre , also tried the pupusa revuelta and it was by far the worst pupusa ive ever had. Kind of my own fault for getting pupusas at a Mexican restaurant haha. The only good thing about this place was the salsas. I just wish they weren't so stingy with it.Lastly we had a torta to go and they forgot to put the order. Then when the torta was ready they never mentioned it and it just sat there. We had to go ask again and they said oh yeah here it is. Absolute terrible service, and it wasn't like packed or anything.

I don't know about their other food, but the chicken tacos I had were extremely dry. Really the only thing here that I would recommend is the pupusa's.

Had food delivered for Mother's day.Had decent reviews.Decided to try them for the first time.Ordered a Tri color Burrito.Looked like a specialty of the house.Web site was priced at $13.95Charged us $17.95.Mother's day.Looked beautiful when received our order.Took off the plastic top and noticed black on one of the 4 skinny slices of avocado.Flipped over another then another all large black spots.Looked good though.Cut into 1/3 of the large appetizing sauced Burrito.I ordered Carne for meat.Saw 1 little oversized crumb of beef. Tons of rice a few beans and completely non eat able all chewy grizzal just like a rubber band got stuck in my teeth.I don't know for sure but as split the Burrito length wise to search for meat :(carne): Looked some little pieces all grizzled like cut away pieces of a cheap piece of meat. Thin like paper. Or cut away leftovers from a Carne plate kept and reused.2 tortillas one on top of the other smothered in nice tasting red sauce.Ordered guacamole used a little bit and looked like the black avocado was stirred in this delectable dip.Oh well.Maybe it was Mother's Day and the staff didn't really want to be at work.Anyway,My stomach is gurgling.I hope this isn't because I ate the rice inside with red sauce.Pealed off the massive amount of tortilla.Salsa seamed okay.! Yeah!Chips like store purchased but still crispy and tasty.I apologize for the poor review after seeing almost 5 star reviews.With Mother's day and no complaints allowed was the table rule.I had to sneak away to write this.Not the best Mother Day food but after all chalk it up to things not to order on Holidays.Signed,Dissatisfied and a little bit frustrated and hurt...P.S.No disgusting photos were added to this review.

Service is bad waiters are rude nasty and give side eyes I needed service and one of the waiters were on their phone and said don't ring the bell I'm on the phone . Even tho I was trying to order my food

I would give this four stars until tonight. I ordered my usual tri colored burrito and it was covered with cilantro. Cilantro tastes like soap to me. I had very little left after I removed all of it. I won't order from them again.

Huarache Xpress is a must try! The location is very spacious, neat, and has nice lights outside. The owner is so very sweet, accommodating, and friendly. They make everything hand made and even use family recipes. I was surprised there were vegan options available and were also aware of veganism. I ordered the mushroom and potato tacos with refried beans. The tacos were delicious and so was the handmade salsa. The mushroom was particularly my favorite. It was seasoned so deliciously. The refried beans are fried with oil instead of lard which makes them vegan as long as you don't get the cheese on top. They were so yummy and I hadn't tried refrained beans in years since they are typically fried with lard. Such a great place and can't wait to go back.
