Saw this place on local eats YouTube and wanted to come and see if it's really authentic Mexican FOOD!
Cabrito and barbacoa are not easy to make and the love and time that it takes shows so let's see how it goes!!!
First off!! My husband said "Está solo!!" Which means "empty spot" for us lol but I said nahhhh let's give it a try!! It's good that it's not packed lol so we can enjoy. We could see the lady "server" from the window getting ready with menus for us so...read full review
Very good, authentic, friendly. Loved all the dishes we had, especially the nopales salad.
Horrible place, the chairs wiggle, the tables are sticky, they charge an arm and a leg for drinks, the flautas were hard, the meat was dry, they didn't have enchiladas, they didn't have queso fundido, the waitress had an attitude and the A/C wasn't working. Remind you it was the first time trying this place.

El Hidalguense offers a variety of authentic Mexican dishes, with the lamb barbacoa being a standout choice. The restaurant features a lively atmosphere with live music and karaoke on weekends. The birria quesadillas and barbacoa de borrego are praised for their flavor, while the flautas are noted as being dry. Customers have also highly recommended the barbecue and consommé, suggesting to add more sauce and lemon. Despite some issues with rushed service and decor, the overall experience and food are satisfying. The homemade tortillas, queso fundido, and savory cabrito and barbacoa are highlights, with the consommé being described as heartwarming and the nopales as a delicious addition. The attentive and friendly service adds to the homey, relaxing ambiance. While the prices may be a bit high, El Hidalguense is a place worth visiting for its flavorful and authentic Mexican cuisine.
