Mexican staple serving huaraches, fajitas, breakfasts & aguas frescas
"Try a classic Mexican Huarache, it's really really good! A Huarache is like a flatbread made from fried Masa that is topped with all the good stuff from Mexico. This is a unique dish and Highland Park is where you should get it. The corn and mushroom and squash blossom toppings are some of our favorites." - Friend of a Friend
"This decades-old Mexican spot on York Boulevard has a full antojito menu with everything from tortas to tostadas, but coming here without ordering one of their namesake huaraches would like going to the La Brea Tar Bits and not seeing the woolly mammoth. The sandal-sized strips of fried masa come with smooth refried beans in the middle and topped with crumbly cheese, a slightly bitter crema, and a choice of meat (we like the pleasantly greasy cabeza). Order it super-style and they'll pour on a big ladle of salsa verde or roja, too." - brant cox, sylvio martins, andrew ryce, cathy park
"The Mexico City-style antojitos or “little whims” served at this neighborhood gem are perfect for any meal of the day. The namesake huraches are wonderfully filling deep-fried rafts made of masa dough and topped with things like huitlacoche (a sporous fungus that feeds off corn before its ears fully develop), head cheese, and chorizo, never fail to satisfy. If at Huaraches Azteca in the early hours, opt for chilaquiles verdes or huevos rancheros" - Mona Holmes
