El Huarache Veloz

Very authentic and delicious. And who doesn’t love a Salsa Bar. But watch out, some are very hot. Great place. Will be back.

I might have eaten here 100 times now. Every time it’s delicious. I love this place. My favorite thing is the tortilla. It never breaks. It’s not a big chain mass produced tortilla. It’s authentic. Made in house. Or at least I think so. Second favorite thing they offer is the Salsa bar. The price is spot on. And they have always been fast to fill orders. Be ready to hear your numero called after you order as they call you back for pick up. They have aguas frescas horchata, Jamaica, and tamarinado. Lunch specials. A really nice size covered patio. This place is run very well. The manager and staff are friendly and helpful and I’ve never once witnessed anything negative since coming here. As I type this message I see the kitchen making fresh tortillas. The aesthetics are not the greatest. It’s not Buckhead or a brand new Chipotle, but they are always cleaning and keeping up with the dining room. I truly love this restaurant.

Wow I really like this place. The sauce and salsa bar alone is worth coming here for! Tacos were incredible and the tortillas seem like they’re homemade. Will be back

Cannot get any better than this place. I'd love to post pics but I can never let that food sit in front of me long enough for some. Absolutely delicious I try NOT to eat here three times a week 😂 wish they'd open up for breakfast. I bet an egg steak chz and potatoes burrito from these guys would be heavenly.

Especially loved the chicken and al pastor tacos! Nice outdoor seating.

I can't believe we've lived in the area for 8 years before getting here. Fresh is the name of the game here. Everything was delicious. The salsa bar top-notch. We will be come regulars for sure.

Fantastic tacos here. Flautas are amazing and crunchy! Lots of good sauces available. The “cheese dip”/queso was good for Georgia. TIP - Order a plain chorizo taco and dump half of it into the cheese dip and stir. Delish. When trying to modify my order there was a bit of a language gap, but I found the tacos terrific just the way they came. My favorite was the chorizo. Nice outdoor covered patio. I’ll be back! Friendly staff.

Soooo good! I’m not really that fond of Mexican food but went with my husband and daughter and I can honestly say I couldn’t put my burrito down! It was so flavorful with the perfect mix of spices and seasonings. I wanted to buy another one to take home and eat for lunch the following day! This is authentic, high-quality, REAL DEAL MEXICAN FOOD. They have a pretty cool salsa/toppings bar as well. We have all started planning our return trip already!

Amazing authentic Mexican food. Really quick service and really flavorful food. Tacos were all made perfectly and had so much flavor. They have a salsa bar with different salsas that pair very well with anything you order. The torta campesina was delicious. Cooked perfectly and a fair portion size, absolutely mouthwatering. The consomé was also really good and had so much flavor. Definitely need to go back - would recommend to anyone in the mood for authentic Mexican cuisine.

Amazing. The place to go 10000000% Authentic Mexican food. And right off of the exit. Fast. And they even have a salsa bae for add on to the tacos

Good food and fast service. Best authentic Mexican food in the area. Burritos and tacos are the best

Became severely ill. I didn't know you could ruin Mexican food. Huaraches were not good. Service was fast. We sat outside with a lovely view of I-75. They kept the outside benches clean.

The tacos, sandwich, guacamole and chips I had tasted all fresh and super yummy!!! Ambiance wise very very casual, great to become a regular customer during the week!! Service was very nice :) (you get to choose some sauces for your taco!).

One of my favorite authentic mexican restaurants in Atlanta. The salsa bar with the variety is great. I recommend the tacos, huarache, burritos, flautas.

Incredible! I will definitely be back to this place! They also have a drive-thru but you'll need to know pull up the menu before.

I didn't find anything special about this place. I have had better Mexican. The flavor lacked. Portion size was good but not enough for me to visit this location again.

Legit tacos with a fully-stocked salsa bar. The cabeza is very tender as expected. Barbados could be chopped a little more for a taco, but the flavor and tenderness were spot on. Will be going back soon.

The asada torta OMGGGGGG one of the best sandwiches I've ever had (and I'm hella picky about sandwiches). Also the papas & queso... of course the salsa bar is delicious too! Seriously one of the best spots. I've gotten it like 3 days in a row before

After cooking professionally for 30 years now, and as a chef ‍ owner my self, I just love delicious food.. glorious food is my passion! At this taco place El Huarache Veloz , I find it to be a religious experience! This is THE BEST MEXICAN in ATLANTA! I would know, trust me.

Service was good, food was delicious. I would have preferred salsa and utensils but other that that it was good

I cannot believe I didn't take pics of food! Basically because I started eating ASAP. Crunchy chicken taquitos with rice and beans. Wife had tacos asada and el pastor. Delicious mango aqua and all flavors of Jarritos' There's a salsa bar with fun stuff like macaroni salad and pickles onions. Very family and community oriented. Order at counter and then listen for your number. Fast service.

Very good! I had the Tacos lunch portion. Authentic and delicious! Would definitely dine here again

Love it for my first time! The food was amazing 10/10 definitely will be coming back soon

Delicious authentic Mexican food. The tacos are incredibly good. Best place to eat mexican food. Price is affordable

The tacos were pretty legit. The pastor in particular was really good. $3.50 for chips and salsa is kind of a rip off though, most places give chips and salsa for free.

I really like the food here. My favorite is the Al pastor burrito it's so delicious and has so much flavor with it. I always get a side of Mac n cheese. Even tho it's cold i think it just makes it taste much better.

R and I came here after a night time Braves baseball game. We had intended on going to a different Mexican restaurant, but found that it was closed, and El Huarache Veloz Mexican Taqueria was not too far away and it was still open. Parking was very easy to find, since El Huarache Veloz Mexican Taqueria has its own parking lot. This place looked pretty popular with the take out group, since most of the people who came in ordered, got their food all bagged up and then left. This was fine with us; this left many tables open so that those of us who wanted to eat here (I counted maybe 7 people total at the most at any given time) could do so and be socially distanced. All of the employees wore face masks and gloves; unfortunately, not all of the customers did. I estimated that about 60% of the people coming in here wore masks. Most people socially distanced while waiting in line and while waiting for their food. Although there was a line of about 5 people ahead of us, the woman at the cash register taking orders was very quick at getting the line moving, and it took us about 4 minutes to get to the front of the line. R ordered two carnitas tacos and sides of rice and black beans. I ordered the "flautas gigantes" or giant flautas. We staked out a table away from everyone. While waiting for our orders, we checked out the nice big salsa bar and filled little plastic cups of the hottest green and red salsas available, along with some jalapenos. I forgot what other condiments they had in the iced down salsa bar. To make things more sanitary, this business provides boxes of plastic gloves for customers to wear when self-serving their salsas and other items. Most of the customers wore gloves, but then there were the other customers that couldn't be bothered by wearing gloves. Within 15 minutes, the number on our receipt was yelled out. The carnitas tacos, rice and black beans looked great, and the giant flautas were really large! I knew what I ordered, but, just by looking at it, I would've thought that I had ordered a lettuce, shredded cheese, tomato and avocado salad, but, no, that was just most of the toppings place on the flautas. Flautas look like taquitos on steroids. These things are long, rolled corn tortillas, filled with beef, fried until they're crunchy on the outside, and very delicious. I actually ate my "salad" toppings first, and was already satisfied before I even started eating the flautas, which I thoroughly enjoyed from the first crunchy bite to the last taste of the meat, skillfully dipping the flautas into the hot sauce before each bite. I was kind of sad when I took my last bite. :-( R said that his meal was very good, and the carnitas had very good flavor. We each drank a bottle of Jarritos bottled soda - I had lime; R had pineapple. The prices are certainly very reasonable for the amount of delicious food provided. No wonder there were a lot of people coming in here late at night! The employees here looked like they're very quick, efficient and hard working. They were constantly coming around to clean the tables, sweeping the floors and checking on the trash can levels.

Just an update. These guys are open and making awesome food as always. Had an amazing huarache with steak there Thursday. I would love to share a photo but it smelled so good that by the time I remembered to take a pic it was mostly gone!! Yum!! It is always a joy to go here, the food is great and these are the small businesses that I really feel could use some love right now.

This restaurant serves filling and tasty tacos. The portion sizes are generous for an authentic Mexican taqueria. El Huarache Veloz opened in 2015 in a freestanding building near the Big Chicken and one of the I-75 Northwest Corridor Express Lane exits: SR 3 (Roswell Road) to SR 120 - Marietta. It replaced Presto Colombian & Mexican Grill (https://www.yelp.co.nz/biz/presto-colombian-and-mexican-grill-marietta) which replaced Napoli's Italian Restaurant (https://www.yelp.com/biz/napolis-italian-restaurant-marietta). Yeah, there have been a few different businesses in this building over the past 10+ years. I think El Huarache Veloz is a local Mexican chain, similar to El Taco Veloz. The building looks like it was an American fast food restaurant a long time ago. You can see where the drive-thru used to be. You can't miss this place as the top of the building is painted in bright green and the side of the building says "TACOS" in large print. There's ample parking around the building. This is a casual joint where you order and pay upfront at the counter. Condiments, including a salsa bar, eating utensils, napkins, etc. are self-serve. Next to the register, they have a self-serve freezer filled with frozen treats from Paleteria Michuacana Ice Cream. The dining room is that of an old fast food restaurant with TVs (not great quality). The kitchen is semi-open and you can see a spit of meat (al pastor) rotating in the back. The menu features over 20 different tortas ($5.99-6.50 each), 12 kinds of tacos (most at $1.99 each), custom tacos, consommes (soup, $3.75), flautas gigantes (giant taquitos at $5.99 per order), burritos ($5.75 each), sides like queso fundido and chips ($4.25) and guacamole ($5.25), huaraches ($5.99-6.39 each), quesadillas ($5.75 each), and pambazos (Mexican wet sandwiches, $5.99 each). Drinks include aqua frescas like horchata, jamaica (hibiscus), and tamarindo ($1.99 each), mango juice ($2.25), and Jarritos Mexican soda ($1.75 per bottle). There's also a lunch menu with over a half-dozen offerings, from a taco combo ($5.75) to fajita-style skirt steak (arrachera, $12.99). The salsa bar, on ice, is sizable and includes sour cream, pico de gallo (mild), salsa verde (medium), molcajete (medium), chipotle salsa (spicy), arbol (spicy), guacamole salsa (spicy), chely ("hot" - I take this to mean spicier than "spicy"), aceite (chili oil, extra hot), and toreados (hot green chilis). There are also lime wedges, sliced radish, pickled carrots and jalapenos, sliced cucumber, onion, macaroni salad, and more. They have some good taco (and torta) options like cabeza (cow head/cheek), al pastor con pina (marinated roast pork with pineapple), and queso fresco asado con aguacate (grilled fresh white cheese with avocado and lettuce). Three tacos should be enough to fill up most people for one meal. I ordered four and it was one too many (and I can eat a lot), but I still finished them all because they were yummy. I had the chicharron en salsa verde (pork rinds in green sauce, $1.99), suadero (marinated beef, $1.99), lengua (cow tongue, $2.99), and tripa (cow tripe, $2.99). All the tacos were served on double-layer corn tortillas, each with a generous helping of meat. I requested the customary cilantro and white onion. Typically, the onion comes chopped, but here, the onion is served in longer slices. All the ingredients were fresh, tasty, and decent quality for the price. My favorite taco was actually the tripe taco. It was one of the best tripe tacos I've had. The tripe was seasoned well and appetizing; juicy, almost. I was impressed with the lengua. When I go to taquerias, I order lengua tacos often and this was one of the better ones I've had. The tongue was cut into some nice, thick chunks. The suadero taco was good too. The beef was more of a pulled barbecue-style with both inner and outer edge meat and a nice smoky flavor. Finally, I thought the chicharron en salsa verde taco was flavorful as well. Again, large portions of meat, which was appreciated. Hearty. I visited for lunch with my coworkers. They ordered a variety of food including the lunch taco combo, flautas gigantes, queso fundido and chips, and quesadillas. Everything looked good and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Service was fine. They call out order numbers (primarily in Spanish, but also in English) on a microphone when they're ready for pickup.

Yummmmmmm. This is my new go to place for cheap, tasty, filling Mexican street food. I love the salsa bar; there is a plethora of salsa options as well as veggie condiments. I'm a huge fan of the lengua. It's tender and not chewy at all. I like to get onions and cilantro added to my tacos. The rice and beans in this place are tasty tasty. Tip: the "lunch specials" can be ordered all day long. I love the food here and will certainly come back a

A hole in the wall spot that I passed by for YEARS, literally a decade never looking twice until the small authentic taco spot I used to go to closed down during Covid... and I'm glad it made me try this place because the menu is reasonably priced! Especially for lunch specials! I normally get the steak burrito lunch special, which comes with rice and beans on the side. Really authentic and the best bang for your buck (~$9). The same meal outside of lunch is closer to $16! Nonetheless, I crave their salsa bar and all the super spicy sauces they have available so I went during dinner hours this past weekend and decided to finally try the Huarache and it was GREAT! Still a ton of meet on an open tortilla with onions, cilantro, pinto beans, and you better believe I doused it in spicy salsa. So so good!

I've been driving by the place for quite a while but didn't stop in until a few days ago. Glad I did! Great salsa bar, great food. Portion was plenty. Has a patio with picnic tables if you wish. I'll definitely be back. To clarify another review - they do offer carryout, you don't have to eat in.

Eat in only restaurant on Roswell Road near Big Chicken. Nothing special as far as building or inside decor. The food is fresh and more authentic Mexican. Prices are reasonable. There is likely to be a good many people there, so you will have to wait a few minutes to get meal. There is a salsa bar with roasted Jalapeño, pickled onion mix, all sorts of salsas in various heat assortments. I ordered a quesadilla tex, which had bell peppers added along with grilled steak. It was excellent especially with the pickled onions and salsa added. Next trip I will try their house special. I saw a patron with this order and wow it looked great. This is a hole in the wall jewel! Exciting to find this place.

We drove 40 minutes out of our way for a neighboring taco place, that closed 3hrs earlier from their stated times. We ended up here by accident, and it was such a good accident. I haven't had flavors like this since Cali! Cant wait to come back out here. The place was incredibly clean, too!!!! As soon as dine-in patrons left, someone cleaned the table. The salsa bar also had gloves for you to use.

I'm always traveling and looking for good homemade food and this is one of those great food

We were in the area and looking for a restaurant that was open for dine in. This restaurant was so we decided to give it a try. First I had lots of questions because there were a few items on the menu that were unknown to me. The cashier (this is a counter order restaurant) was very patient with me and described each item. My husband and I decided to try a steak huarache which we have never had before. We also ordered a chicken burrito (which we have had before). I was disappointed that there did not seem to be any veggie options on their menu for a plant based eater like me. I do have meat once in awhile so my we decided to split our entrees with each other. We both loved the huarache. The steak, lettuce, feta cheese? and maybe a couple more ingredients are placed on a long oval corn tortilla that is kind of thick and soft. It was really tasty and once we tried it we wished we had ordered two of them. We loved how they spiced the steak... so good! The burrito was a bit disappointing. It was very large but had lots and lots of rice in it with some nicely spiced chicken but did not seem to have anything else. I thought it was supposed to have beans also but none were found in it. I am not sure we would order a burrito again. It was not bad just not as good as the huarache. I would love to see a veggie version of the huarache offered on their menu. Overall we agreed that this seemed to be an authentic Mexican place and we would return again if in the area. Try a huarache if you have never tried one or another new item. It's fun to explore other cuisines.

For one, this place is way better than spending your bucks at Taco Bell. A little Mexican Restaurant, very clean and simple. We had a group of 10 and our tab was a little over $100. A pretty good bang for your buck. We ordered the queso and nachos for an appetizer but unfortunately the chips were stale. We asked for extra chips for our group since we had extra dip left over and that first they were reluctant to give us some. Each of our meals were delicious. Definitely will be back when I am in the Marietta area :)

We have been here twice so far, and we love it. We highly recommend it. Everything we have tried has been tasty. We also love the reasonable prices. The location is convenient. The inside of the restaurant is clean and somewhat utilitarian. We've chosen to sit outside on the few tables they provide on their patio. The young ladies at the counter are all wearing masks. Little effort has to be made to social distance since there were not too many families in the restaurant. Most customer seemed to be picking up take out and eating elsewhere. Next time, I will add to the review by listing specific items that you should consider.

Love the open atmosphere ...many seats to choose from. The salsa bar is different from the other taco places I've visited. The only thing I did not like about the salsa bar,is the lack of signs telling you what you are eating. We had to do a taste test to find out what they tasted like. The orange and brown one are super hot so beware!! There are many good choices and of course you can buy a lot with your money. That's always a plus these days.

Just another Yelp find heading back home from our mandatory evacuation due to Irma. This place is a little hole in the wall but don't let that fool you because these tacos are authentic. The menu is a little hard to navigate being that it was mostly in Spanish but don't let that stop you from ordering! A lot of words are universal when it comes to tacos! You know asada is steak, carnitas is pork and lengua is tongue, now besides that there were a few meats though I didn't know but if I get tacos I'm going for the carne asada. The Jamaica was amazing here as well, the horchata was average. But what put this place over the top was the selection of homemade sauces and salsas omg! Some of the best ever.

Love their street tacos! It's a little pricey but I was full. I liked their salsa bar and they had a bunch of seating.

AMAZING!! A must try! Stopped here for a quick bite and so glad I did. Everything was delicious and tasted fresh from the salsa to the rice and beans. My first time eating a torta (I got the chicken one) and I was blown away! It was just phenomenal. Definitely try if you're in the area.

I've been a regular patron of San Pancho in Alpharetta and loved, loved, loved their tacos. We've since moved, though, and my heart just about broke when I was hit with a craving for Mexican street tacos last night and realized our beloved favorite joint was now 25 minutes away. Not that the tacos weren't worth it, but that's just too much for a weeknight when you're already super hungry. I refused to be let down and whipped out Yelp and dug around my neighborhood a little. Enter El Huarache Veloz Mexican Taqueria. The heavens opened up and gifted me with this gem of a place. The kicker? I enjoyed their tacos even *more* than my regular go tos at San Pancho. And the bonus to seal the deal? Ten minutes from my front door. Score! Don't let the exterior deter you! It's a typical fast food Mexican joint. No frills about it, red and orange decor, and tables that look like they're sticky, but they're not. In fact, the space was very clean. I even smelled bleach as we were leaving, which yes, is not what you want to smell when you're eating, but it could be worse! There were three folks ahead of us when we entered, all waiting for to go orders. You place your order at the counter and then wait for them to call your number. The menu is easy to read and the woman who took our order was very friendly. We kept it simple: Three tacos each ($1.99 a pop) and we split a quesadilla. I got the chorizo, seasoned pork with pineapple (this one was a little over $2) and barbacoa. They were ALL delicious! I legit inhaled my food. The corn tortillas were warm and fresh and they did not skimp on the meat or toppings of cilantro and onion. For the quesadilla we went with chicken and it was straight up comfort food. Filled with tender, seasoned chicken and cheese and perfectly cooked. With two drinks, our tab was $19. The salsa bar was also great - stocked and clean, despite it being the end of the day. Lots of great sauce choices there, from wimpy to super spicy, and a sprinkle of garnishes like roasted jalapeños and salsas. I will be back before the week is over, justyouwatch.

Delicious. From someone who grew up in Texas around wonderful Mexican foods. This place is legit.

Great little authentic Mexican. The burrito with pork was delicious. The staff is very nice, food is great, what else could you want.

One of the under rated authentic Mexican restaurant in Cobb. What mouth watering . I had there lunch combo of chicken tacos with rice and beans. Street tacos with corn bread. There varieties of salsa were best collection.

Excellent tacos here with a salsa bar to boot. The only real negative was the salsa from behind the counter - it was WAY too salty. Probably an off-batch as the salsa's on the BAR were numerous and VERY tasty. GET THE QUESO - it's excellent. Friendly customer service makes me look forward to my next visit.

The tacos here are unbeatable! It is authentic and delicious. They are always so nice, and they keep the restaurant spotlessly clean! I would give it ten stars if I could.

We love love love this place. Tacos are the go to. Their homemade corn tortillas are perfect and no matter what meat you get it's cooked to perfection. The bar of sauces to choose from is great fun. The creamy orange sauce is the best but beware of the spice! Get a few cucumbers to cool your mouth after and you're set. Also at tacos for 1.99 you can get lots of different ones to try! They're a good size though I can never eat more than 2 or maybe 3. Service is great too! Everyone is sweet and willing to answer any questions you have about the menu! Lots of parking and quick service! If you want good authentic tacos this is the place to go. Hands down!!

A cheap and authentic Mexican restaurant with friendly service. I ordered the lengua (beef tongue) and pollo tacos, which were delicious. They offer a great variety of salsas and other sides dishes to go with your food.

Longtime favorite Mexican spot in Marietta! Everything is delicious and it is kept super clean. My husband and I usually get the steak burrito. It's massive for the price!!

Saw this place once when I was driving and I loved the name. I looked up the yelp reviews and they were promising. I was looking for authentic Mexican food and I was not disappointed in this place. I had 3 tacos- asada, barbacoa, and carnitas. The meats were cooked perfect and the corn tortillas were perfect for the tacos, didn't fall apart or anything. The tacos tasted like something out of my abuela'a kitchen. I also had the consomé de res which is a beef soup with garbanzo beans, rice, potatoes and bits of beef in it. It was seasoned perfect. Perfect for today's rainy day. I also had an agua fresca de Jamaica. It tasted homemade and authentic with just enough sweetness. The restaurant had a good salsa bar with a good variety of salsas. The atmosphere was really friendly and clean. The menu had a good variety. Can't wait to come back and try some different things on the menu!

I've been wanting to check this place out since they opened. Finally got the opportunity but when I pulled up I almost went somewhere else. The outside is not well maintained and the building looks old; as if it could fall down at any moment. But don't let that dissuade you. This place is great! It is very authentic. Really clean inside and they obviously take pride in their patrons' comfort. The service is friendly and appear to be genuinely happy. The menu is pretty standard for a taqueria. The only drawbacks I could find were how how they yell the number you get from the back of the restaurant. Several folks had trouble hearing their numbers. I recommend picking up the food before sitting. Also, no soda fountain. It's 2016; we shouldn't have to buy environmentally unfriendly soda bottles. And I survive on free refills. Oh, and if you're looking for a quiet place to eat, keep truckin' because they are happy and boisterous here. On to the food. Served on paper-ish plates comes delicious and authentic fare. I ordered the taco plate (one chicken, one steak) and an extra barbacoa taco (because who doesn't love barbacoa). All served with fresh soft corn tortillas, the chicken taco was excellent, the steak taco was flavorful, and the barbacoa taco was... well, meh. The rice was a bit different than I'm used to (had corn and green beans) but was pretty good. Those beans though! The black beans were absolutely on point. I will be back for more chicken tacos and black beans... With as much of that creamy jalapeño sauce as they'll let me eat!

El huarache veloz is a very nice and simple restaurant to enjoy some real authentic Mexican food in the Cobb parkway Roswell rd Marietta area. The restaurant has a variety of options that you will most certainly not or ever get at your local Taco Bell. The menu is very easy to read they have the Spanish name for the food along with the translated word next to it. This place is not expensive but watch what you buy it quickly adds up. They have a variety of meats to choose from to create your meal wether that is a taco or torta to the hefty burritos they have to offer. They have some option that are much better for lunch that is if your looking to save a few bucks on a fulfilling lunch I recommended the burritos it comes with rice and beans. This burritos is loaded with meat and they do not go stingy on their meat either. Also their tacos are very tasty! These are what real tacos should taste like. The tacos are made out of two corn tortillas along with your choice of meat with onions and cilantro. My third favorite dish there was the torta Mexican style burger or sandwich u can say. That comes with lettuce tomatoes onions avocados cheese beans and your choice of meat all on a toasty bun. Overall this place is very clean and with nice employees and the food was very tasty. I would highly recommend this place for real Mexican food.

The only reason I give it two stars is because it is priced low. The food is very bland. There is no seasoning on any of the meat. They have a great salsa bar, and you'll need it to add flavor to this food with no taste. I will say that bland Mexican food is par for the area though.

Eh...no. I really hoped this place would be like Tacos Del Chavo in Kennesaw: A real deal taco stand that didn't cost an arm & leg, but is right down the road from my house. That drive to Kennesaw, traffic and all, is sooooooooooooo worth it by comparison! Prices here are great but that's the only Pro. I had barbaquoa, carnitas, Pollo and asada tacos. All flavorless and bland. I'll look for another place for tacos here in Marietta.

Great tacos! Horchata is on point! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The menu is bigger than I was expecting for a little road side taqueria. There is also a huge selection of salsa and sauces. The chips and salsa were a little disappointing but over all everything was good I'll be back for sure!

See my check in -- it was perfect (so good that I ate 5 tacos and am now dying from the food baby in my stomach!). I always order tongue, stomach or head when I come to places like this to see how authentic they truly are. The tongue here is slow cooked, and then thrown on the grill for a quick char; this makes it succulent and juicy, while having a crisp edge... something I've never experience up until now... and for sure the best tongue I've ever had. Everything was very good, I'll for sure be coming back! Little strange with the decor (kind of 80's jazzersize-esque) but all that falls by the wayside with the first bite of food you have. If you are weird about eating tongue, brain or stomach liner, the Asada is just as good, along w the Barbacoa and Chorizo. They also have a patio for outdoor you can use (30 people minimum). It's quick and delicious, and worth it if you are in the area looking for something different for lunch.
