Taqueria El Huarache

The food was good but not great. We ordered the enchilada plate and a burrito. The standard meat is ground beef or chicken and $1 extra to chose your meat. Most dishes are around the $20 mark. The service was awesome and super on point. I'd probably try another restaurant since I've eaten here once, but wouldn't have any issues eating here again.

I love this place but this time our waitress blatantly ignored us while happily helping others. She didn’t bring us requested items and waited until we were done to even come to the table, and then it was only for the check. Elvia is the name that was on the check. I understand people have bad days but she was kind and attentive to everyone but us. We’ve been here many times and never have had this bad of an experience.

Very inconsistent.
It's a hit or miss.
Today was a definite miss.
I ordered a jalapeño margarita.
It taste more like lime, okay just lime.
No jalapeño flavor.
It wasn't muddled....
Jalapeños were just thrown in on the top.
The bean dip tasted off, I mean really off.
I didn't have a second bite.
Our meals came out within 5 minutes of ordering.
This tells me chef Mike was involved.
Again, our food tastes off.
I've never spit food back out in a napkin before tonight.
But it tasted that bad.
We've had good meals their before, but tonight was so bad, we won't be going back.

We got the veggie burrito, very tasty and filling. Friendly staff and great service. They bring you salsa and beans with the complimentry chips. Would definitely eat here again. ???

Everything was great. Only complaint would be chicken was a bit Blane. Might have well been me and did not get through right sauce. Would definitely go again.
