El Hidalguense Mexican Restaurant serves authentic Mexican cuisine that's a step above Tex-Mex. Their seafood dishes, such as the shrimp meatball soup (albondigas de camarones), are a highlight. The Caldo de Res and Quesadilla de Harina de Camaron are also highly recommended. The menu includes a variety of options, such as the Enchilada Mixta con Cecina and Birria Tacos, which have received great praise for their delicious flavors. Fresh, homemade tortillas and exceptional salsa enhance the dining experience. Friendly owners and attentive service create a welcoming atmosphere, with traditional music and live bands on Sundays. Although some dishes like barbacoa may not be available every weekend, the restaurant remains a hidden gem for those seeking authentic, fresh Mexican food. Guests have reported satisfaction with their meals, including the Fajita steak quesadilla and sopapillas, making it a place worth returning to.
