El Huarache Austin Reviews
Great friendly staff, excellent food, getting your money's worth and reasonably priced.
I’m very happy to have found this restaurant nestled close to where I live. My family and I definitely agreed that we would come again for dinner and we’re looking forward to trying their breakfast dishes. We were greeted immediately as we came in. Natalia was our server and she was very helpful in answering some of our questions. We asked if they served alcohol but they do not at the moment. I ordered the Gordita plate and other family members ordered the enchiladas plate. The Gorditas were fried to perfection and the beef fajitas inside were deliciously seasoned. The enchiladas were soooo yummy! The portions were ample and enough to save some for tomorrow’s work lunch! We are definitely coming back to try more items on the menu!
I was angling for some good molé and El Huarache did not disappoint. Although the chips were a bit stale and the Horchada was just okay, the chicken enchiladas and rice were fantastic. I wasn't expecting much from the beans, but they were superb and reminded me of a good sausage gumbo. I'll be back!
THIS FOOD IS SO GOOD! I work super close so I always drop in to pick up for lunch and might I say these are some of the best tacos I’ve EVER HAD
Authentic enchiladas and fajitas. Amazing salsas. Habanero pineapple was well rounded, and verde was fresh and vibrant. Served a party of 8 with warm family vibes at lunch. Chef Mario knows how to treat his guests. Please go support this family business and don’t waste money on a restaurant that is spending more money on furniture than the humble ingredients and skilled labor that it takes to make quality food.
A staple for us when we lived in the area. We went multiple times a week, got takeout regularly, etc. Highly recommend all the breakfast tacos, as well as the shrimp and campechano tacos. Chilaquiles also really solid. Really like their salsas too. We live across town now, but still stop in whenever we’re nearby to “meal prep” for the next few days. If you’re in the area, you owe it to yourself to check ‘em out. 👍🏻
The food was delicious — everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was just as impressive — attentive, friendly, and professional without being overbearing. You can tell they really care about what they do. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!
This is a true an authentic Mexican restaurant. It’s like eating at your abuelita’s place cooked with love and passion. To begin with the chips and three varieties of salsas to the mole and finishing with the best flan I have ever had. The service is super friendly and the owners make you feel like home. My favorite place in Austin for sure!
This place is definitely a hidden gem! I’m so glad we picked this over Papa John’s. The food was absolutely delicious! Serving breakfast all day was surely a plus for me. I tried the mole enchiladas and I can’t find one bad thing to say about them. The shrimp tacos were sooo gooood, but I could’ve done without the cabbage. Easily 10/10. Can’t wait to return.
We just had lunch here. What a hidden gem for mexican food! Our server Jerica was awesome and so friendly. The chips and salsa were so good I was pleadantly surprised. I had the chicken enchiladas in red sauce with rice and beans. They taste was so good! Chicken was tender and juicy and the red enchilada sauce was delicious. My wife had the huarache de carnitas, she said it was delicious and the meat so tender also. My wife is a regular, this was my first time here and now I will be coming back for more enchiladas and to try the rest of the menu. Highly recommend to give this place a try.
The moment i walked in, i knew i was in for a treat. The waitress was attentive and sweet and made it felt like home. I ordered the mole enchiladas and the presentation of the dish was beautiful. As soon as i took a bite i felt a sense of euphoria as if i had transcended to a different world. I truly was in awe of how delicious the food was and needless to say i will be back.
❤️This is our favorite neighborhood Mexican restaurant! I absolutely love them. We found them fall of 2022 and after each visit, after each occasion of new food and revisited plates & tacos, we've loved everything. They have very fresh food, and the fajitas are awesome. Al Pastor tacos with the habanero pineapple salsa are 🔥🔥!! They make great gorditas, and make sure you try their horchata, as👏🏼well👏🏼as👏🏼the👏🏼FLAN!🎉
A wonderful hole in the wall joint in the Wells Branch area. The service is amazing and the food is delicious. I personally got the gorditas with carnitas. The meat was tender and it came out fresh and hot. The chips and salsa were so good too. I also enjoyed the horchata! It wasn’t too sweet. My friend got the menudo and al pastor tacos. She mentioned that the al pastor was sooooo tender. She also fully enjoyed her menudo and couldn’t stop raving about her selections. Overall, a wonderful place and a must try. The prices are really decent too. We felt pretty good about the amount we spent for our meal. They know what they’re doing here for sure.
First time there. Salsa and chips were good, as were the Quesadillas. Surprise treat was a complimentary small plate of queso. Service was exceptional!! Prices were higher than they should have been for a little hole in the wall place. Prices are all that could affect my returning.
Lady helping us was very friendly. It’s a nice environment. The food weren’t up to my standards of good authentic Mexican. Felt like it was microwaved plates.
In response to the delayed reply from El Huarache: Perhaps you should double check that the correct order is being packaged. Deben de tener mas cuidado. Con el simple hecho de que no acepta responsabilidad por el error, no vuelvo ordenar ni comer alli. I placed an Uber order for Carne Asada. What I received was a chicken huarache. I called the location and they were willing to make the correct order if I wanted to go pick it up. However, had I been able to leave my office, I would have gotten something else. I don't like chicken, though it looked appetizing, the lettuce was soggy and and the runny water just made the huarache soggy. Plus it was not even tepid warm. The flour tortillas they sent were hot though. So the salsa and tortilla was my lunch.
I ordered Caldo de Pollo and a hamburger for pick up on uber eats. I got the notification that my food was ready I came down here and I was told by the owners that my order was already picked up. I was like ok… like how is that possible. Long story short the cook slash owner acted like I was trying to get over on him and made me pay for them to remake the order and take it up with door dash. I paid for my order to be remade and I swallowed that disrespect. I feel like because I’m black he thought I must’ve been trying to trick him and there was a language barrier. I was patient and held my tongue and still supported his business because I didnt want to curse out this old man and his wife who might not be trying to make me double pay and it might have been an honest mistake (doubt it) . I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN.
It takes over an hour and thirty minutes to make a simple bean and cheese burrito. With an order of fries. This happened just the other day with the same order. But I actually received my food and it was cold. I’d like to support this local restaurant. But. Terrible service. I will not order again
