Huarachis Taqueria

During a recent visit to Phoenix, we had the pleasure of dining at Huarachis Taqueria, located at 814 N Central Ave. This establishment is the brainchild of Chef Rene Andrade, renowned for his work at Bacanora, which has received accolades from The New York Times and Esquire.   The ambiance at Huarachis Taqueria is both playful and authentic, featuring vibrant décor with pink hues, an array of houseplants, and eclectic touches like religious iconography and automotive accents. This creates a quirky yet comfortable setting that feels like a lively backyard gathering.  Our meal began with the quesadilla accompanied by a special bean dip, which was a standout. The quesadilla was thin and crispy, providing a delightful contrast to the rich, flavorful bean dip. The combination was so impressive that it left a lasting impression on our taste buds. The menu at Huarachis Taqueria is concise yet diverse, offering a range of traditional Mexican dishes with a contemporary twist. In addition to the exceptional quesadilla, we sampled the shrimp ceviche, which was bright and spicy, prompting us to savor every drop of the broth. The tacos, served on grill-blackened flour tortillas and topped with cabbage, white onion, and cilantro, were equally impressive. The charred chicharrón and tender lengua tacos were particularly noteworthy, bursting with robust flavors.  For those seeking a more substantial meal, the pollo asado platter is a generous offering that includes a whole grilled chicken, esquites (creamy, chile-spiked corn), crispy potato disks, frijol dip, tostadas, tortillas, and roasted onions and jalapeños. This feast is designed to serve two to three people and is a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to hearty, communal dining experiences.  Complementing the food is an array of agave-based cocktails, creatively mixed with variously flavored Jarritos sodas. The spicy El Valle and the tiki-tinged End of Summer were both refreshing and well-balanced, enhancing the overall dining experience.

My favorite place from now on. Everything was delicious and the service was 100/10, the vibes in this place are just perfect! we had beans dip, ceviche, tacos and micheladas!!! It was amazing, congratulations to the whole team! I didn’t took pictures of the tacos, they where too good that I forgot

Wow! This was an incredible meal! If you’re in Phoenix and you love tacos, come to Huarachis Taqueria. The flavors were absolutely fantastic! We ordered the Carnitas Platter and additional tacos. We all loved the various flavors of the meats in the tacos. The platter included beans, potatoes , elote, roasted onions, homemade flour tortillas, fresh salsa, sliced limes, homemade tortilla chips, & the most delicious carnitas we have ever eaten! The restaurant has a beautiful style, and a cool vibe here. The service is excellent. It was a bit loud, and hard to hear the people at our table. We look forward to returning to Huarachis Taqueria soon! 5 stars!

I saw this place on Instagram a few months ago and made reservations for my post birthday trip. Everything was so good! That frijol dip is still calling my name. It was just the right amount of spice added and our server was great!

Love this place. I have been for lunch and dinner and been impressed both times. Love the tortillas and butter to start. Elote is so tasty! Potato taco, carne asada taco, fish taco were all good. Quesadilla was awesome with the crema and beans!

This is a real gem. If you want some good authentic Mexican cuisine here you go. Drinks were spot on. I got the "don't sleep on it" and please don't. Wifey got the vegetarian tacos, a mushroom taco and the potato taco. The carne asada was great. I highly recommend stopping here.

We went for an early dinner on Saturday. The place was pretty full by the time we left, so reservations are recommended. The place has a very lively casual vibe. The service was very good. They were able to accommodate my wife’s allergies with no questions and a good attitude. It was also nice not having to order everything all at one. Food was great. We had high expectations given the place’s association with Bacanora. We were totally impressed. Highly recommended.

I stopped by Huarachis in Downtown PHX and instantly fell in love with the place. The pink building makes it super easy to spot and gives off such a fun, welcoming vibe. The food tastes so authentic — you can tell everything’s made fresh and with love. I had a torta that was packed with flavor, perfectly balanced with fresh veggies and tender meat, and it hit the spot. The sides were just as good — especially the salsa and warm tortillas. It felt like a real neighborhood gem where the food and atmosphere both stand out. Highly recommend if you’re looking for legit, flavorful Mexican food and a cool, laid-back vibe in the city!

Stopped here and picked up some burritos and Boy where they good Service was excellent. Got there and no problem. It's a nice location.

Loved Huarachis! Five stars for the mushroom and potato tacos alone. These are my favorite veggie tacos I've had since moving back to AZ, and probably one of my top 5 favorite mushroom tacos ever. Everything we had was so well crafted, thoughtful, and tasty. The quesadilla was good, but the bean dip it came with was great. It was spicy and bold. I could've drank the whole thing. Really loved the Duros. This was my first time trying them, but they were delicious - a perfect bar snack with a spicy salsa. The salsas were all amazing in fact. I do think the escabeche was meh. The portion was huge, but it was like half pickled. The onions, carrots, and jalapeños were solid though. As far as drinks, the house marg was also just okay to me. It was too sweet, but that's definitely my personal preference. The spicy pineapple marg was awesome and much, much better. My friend loved the strawberry mezcal marg as well. Service was good - they didn't crowd us and paced everything well. The staff were all super nice. It is very cute inside, nothing fancy, the vibe fits the menu really well. I can't wait to go back! This is a perfect spot for everything from beer and tacos at the bar to a proper feast featuring one of their platters, which I gotta get next time.

Came to check out Huarachis in search of tacos recently with some friends. I like the location - on Central Ave, relatively close to Roosevelt Row but not in the craziness that is that DTPHX neighborhood. Parking can be a bit of a drag but they are steps from the light rail if that suits your fancy. We had a reservation and didn't have to wait since all of us showed up on time. I wish anyone luck who thinks they can dine in without one at night- speaking with the hostess they rarely have space unless you come alone and are down to sit at the bar. Unfortunately they don't have a lot of tables so waiting is a thing. The biggest turnoff with Huarachis is how loud it is- it felt darn near impossible to have a convo with my friend across from me and immediately next to me. The music (while enjoyable/good sounds) was just too much. We got sat and were warmly greeted by staff- didn't catch his name. Most of what they serve is done in a family-style setting - so if you and someone else at your table order a couple chicken tacos, they're gonna all come out on one plate together. We started with a quesadilla and some ceviche to start. The 'dilla wasn't bad but the bean sauce that came with was uhhh-mazing. Same with the ceviche- I would have gladly ordered that for a meal. A couple people ordered a platter which had A LOT of food, so much that some was offered to those who us who just ordered tacos. Tacos were pretty solid - I appreciate that their tripas were super crispy, but the big winner was the fish. I ordered some "World Famous" beans and they were ok. Heavy on the tequila drinks (duh), you're able to sub a liquor out if you ask -- on mine I definitely did not want a spicy marg and they so kindly switched to plain tequila. A bit of a splurge but a nice evening out.

Nevermind the cool neon pink vibes, the loud sounds of hip music, The food is the star of the show. A unique twist on some authentic Mexican dishes. Never ever had a ceviche with a creamy spread. Even the side refried beans have a unique garlic aioli type sauce. It's really good. The quesadilla is rolled like a flauta with a bit burnt tortilla. Funny thing is my mother cooked hers the exact same way. The Hurraches are exactly the way I've had them in Mexico. This was the most original tasting item we had. Tacos are delicious fish was crispy as well as the mushroom. Josh was our server and he was essential with our dinner. He was knowledgeable, courteous and quick to recommend dishes & cocktails. We loved the Paloma style drink, forgot what it's called but get that one. Don't forget to Park in the back. Can't wait to be back here.

Huarachis has top notch service with incredible staff. The menu has variety, and you can't go wrong with any of the items that you choose. The cocktails are made with a lot of love and care from the bartender. Cute ambiance in general!

Stopped in for dinner for with some girlfriends on a Friday evening -- such a vibey spot! I appreciated all the pink accents and plants in the restaurant. Our server Chase was kind, patient and helped us decide our order and made our experience truly special. We started with the quesadilla, which is more of a large cheese roll-up, but was one of my favorite items we ordered. It was paired with a bean sauce which was amazing. For our main we opted to share the pollo asado platter, which was plenty of food for the 3 of us and might even be better suited for 4 people. The meat was marinated to perfection and you could make build your own tacos with the pairings on the rest of the platter. Drinks were good but the food was the star of the show!

Came here for a girls night out and was thoroughly impressed. The earlier reviews had me a little worried about prices and quality but I am so glad we gave it a try! We got a few margaritas and the quesadilla to start and while it doesn't look like much it was perfectly crispy and we devoured it in seconds. Next we shared the pollo asado platter. The chicken was super flavorful and it was served with many toppings to build your perfect taco. Our server was friendly and amazing at making suggestions! I definitely recommend making a reservation as this place gets busy!

We met some friends for a birthday celebration. They had eaten at Huarachis once before, but this was our first time. We started with the tortillas & butter as well as the frijol dip. Both appetizers were outstanding! I tried three tacos: carne asada, pescado, and crispy papa. I took a piece of my husband's chicharron taco as well. All the tacos were very good but I would have loved some salsa to accompany them. My first drink was Jesse's Margarita. It was fantastic and very citrus-forward. My second drink was the Magia, and the licorice flavor from the absinthe was a bit much for my taste. The atmosphere is lively and bustling. Everything is intentional and specially curated to create the vibe they are going for. Our server was on top of things even though it was a busy Saturday night. She kept our waters full, and the cocktails flowing.

The food was good, but insanely overpriced. We went here with a large group, and were charged $80 for carne asada fries (they were listed as market, but WHO pays that much money for fries?!). We also were charged a 30% group tip, and the servers did not split up our bill - we had to Venmo each other ourselves. This was appalling since they charged so much! Would not visit again, and would not recommend.

Awesome spot in Downtown Phoenix for tacos + more! To start, the ambiance is very cool. Pink lights, funky decorations and bumping music makes it a super trendy spot. You can tell they paid attention to details in the space. Service wise things were standard. Went in during a first friday around 6PM and only had to wait a few minutes for a table of 5 (no reservation) which I was pleasantly surprised by. Food came promptly and waiter was attentive. Food was outstanding. Tried a variety of tacos, margaritas, papas al discos, and the bacanora beans. This is the perfect spot to go to if you want Bacanora quality flavor without dealing with the tricky reservation. Favorites included the papas al disco (must try) and the pescado taco. Tacos were on the pricier side, but were quite large + full with toppings-checks out for a trendy spot in downtown. Looking forward on returning and next time hope to try the huge pollo asado platter + more cocktails!

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Great food. Great service. The carnitas platter was a great value for the amount of food you got. I definitely would come back.

Terrible all around. Loud af. Had to ask multiple times for the "server" to repeat themselves. So I tell myself, "be patient. The food is probably good." The food was NOT good. I ordered chicharron and potato tacos. The chicharron was dry. There is a difference between dry and crispy. Dry, not crispy. Maybe this potato taco will be better! It was cold. How was I served a cold fried potato taco?! I had to ask some mean blonde lady for my drink that was wrong. She slammed it down on the table. I thought it was me and my friends were like "what is that about?!" This place is hot garbage. If you want poor service, overpriced terrible food AND to be treated like trash, You are in luck. This is your spot. I could go on, but all of our food (except the beans) were terrible. My buddy ordered a tocino (bacon burrito), which HAD NO BACON. Also, $28 for a torta. On the way out, the mean blonde lady (who I think is the manager) gives a fake passive aggressive smile and says "Have the day you deserve". Rene man, check your staff. They are ruining the great reputation you built with Bacanora.

Brought my boyfriend in to try Chef René's new concept! We started with a mexican coke and a paloma.. The paloma was good flavor not too sweet and not too sour. I wasn't a fan of the nugget ice I felt like it watered down my drink fast. I wanted to try the Day Dreams but they were sold out of it. We started with the frijoles dip, 10/10 I am not much of a bean eater but these were flavorful with the cotija cheese and spices! We also had the quesadilla which came with 3 salsa sides. I loved the quesadilla the cheese pull was on point, tortillas were fresh and had that crunchy texture. The green salsa was my bestie for the rest of the dishes we got. We also decided to get the Papas Al Disco which my boyfriend loved. I was getting busy on the frijoles dip! Now for the tacos we each got a Pescado taco, and a Chicharron tacos. My boyfriend also got a Carne Asada taco. I've had the Carne asada before so I decided to try the Pescado and Chicharron! My boyfriend loved the Pescado he said it reminded him of a Cod fish which he used to eat a lot growing up. I wasn't much of a fan of the Pescado but the Chicharron was flavorful crunchy and paired with the green salsa I was in heaven! Parking is limited although my boyfriend and I live in downtown so it was super easy to walk to! Music is a vibe, maybe a little loud for some people but we had a great time! Servers are so friendly and each have their own style which I love to see! Our server recommended the Chicharron and Papas al Disco (Shoutout for the awesome recommendations) Definitely will be back with my girlfriends ‍‍ My boyfriend even said it was the right amount of food to fill him up!

My friends and I were walking around town and tasting a few things from different restaurants and bars, and decided to stop by Huarachis. We arrived @ 6pm and the restaurant tables were all full but they quickly sat us at the bar. They waited us relatively fast and the food was served within minutes. We ordered 3 asada tacos, 1 tripa, and 1 lengua. Asada: 5/5 - it's a really well done carne asada. Well seasoned, well grilled, overall great taste. Tripa: 4/5 - I wasn't expecting the tripa to be as crunchy as it was. It was pretty much tripa chicharrones. I'm not complaining, but it was unexpected. The flavor was pretty solid, but I think if it was just slightly less fried the tripa flavor with their salsas would be a million times better. Lengua: 3/5 - The lengua taco wasn't bad, but it was just kind of bland. Cooked to perfection, but flavor wise, there just wasn't much there. To conclude, I think this is a great carne asada taco spot considering you're down to drop $6 per taco. I think that's pretty high considering other comparable taco spots in downtown that have tacos for $2.50-3.50 and are also pretty great. But don't let this sway you away from trying this spot! Even if you think it's expensive, I suggest you give it at least one try, the asada won't disappoint.

So glad I found this place on instagram. My husband and I celebrated my birthday here this past weekend and it was such a great time. The location is a little difficult to get to but it's totally worth it. I would suggest getting there early since they make everything from scratch and avoid waiting a long time. We sat at the bar and Moises was the BEST. He gave us great recommendations and was super perdonable. The food - the best part! Hands down the Sonoran hot dog was 20/10. It was delicious and paired with the most delicious potatoes topped with tajin and chipotle crema. The lengua tacos were so tender and full of flavor, the tripa tacos were fried to perfection and the fish taco was not to breaded. The portions are very generous and I'd recommend ordering a few things to share. Their "huaraches" beans are a must try and are a tad spicy but oh so delicious. Now for dessert we enjoyed the arroz con leche, which tasted like an almond pudding - it was phenomenal. If you order drinks I'd recommend their Paloma. It's classic and very refreshing.

Literally love this place from the vibes, drinks, and food. Everything here is soooo good! I've been a handful of times. I've gotten the pollo asada plate, carne asada fries, asada taco and papa taco. I also had the quesadilla woth the frijole dip and it was alll so so good. 10/10 def recommend. Service is always great and food comes out so fast.

We gathered for a work lunch, marking our first visit to this establishment. The music was so loud that we struggled to converse. We ordered a jicama salad, a massive carne asada torta accompanied by their incredibly tasty crispy potatoes, and some tacos as well. My only criticism is that the chicharron taco was somewhat dry. The fish taco was quite good, but the standout was the Lala lengua taco - beef and tongue. It was tender and absolutely scrumptious! The food was fantastic, but I would definitely suggest getting it to go and savoring it elsewhere.

Went during their grand opening after walking by many times before and it was super packed(as expected). This is a sit-down restaurant so be mindful as it's not a typical taqueria where it's just order and go with ease. The wait time was 2 and a half hours so I thought I'd hang out with friends and come back on another day. As I returned the wait was 1 hour as expected. This is the sister restaurant of Bacanora and if you know, you know. The food quality was great, the taco portions were on par with the $6 pricing as I'm expecting bacanora quality. The papas Al disco are a must order as it's really good to pair with your tacos. I was very happy with the service as my allergy to avocado they informed me the tacos I ordered does not come with them. After a few bites they actually did and they comped me for them so thank you to them! I'll definitely be returning

The best spot both for weekend brunch and weekday dinner. The brunch menu everything was amazing with stars being the fries and the ceviche. The dinner tacos are amazing.. and definitely get the bean dip. It has a bit of a kick to it which makes it even better.

This might be controversial but I actually liked this place more than Bacanora. Don't get me wrong both are great but I think going to this place was an easier experience. Getting a reservation at Bacanora is hard whereas here you can get the same tasty food without the struggle lol. I had the carne asada tacos and they were sooo good. The best asada tacos I've had. Surprisingly they put beans on it and I usually don't like beans but the flavor was so amazing that I don't mind it. The papas were also good but beware they are a lil spicy. For dessert we had arroz con leche and also delicious. I came with a group of 3 on a Friday night and we waited a little bit for a table but nothing outrageous. I don't drink but they have interesting cocktails. I definitely want to come back and bring my friends from out of state here.

Met up for a work lunch and it was our first time trying it out here. Food was very good, and service was also however this is absolutely not a place to go and talk which is very disappointing to me. Food is designed to hangout and have conversations with others around a common thing which is the delicious meal. The music was so loud we could barely carry a conversation, and I suppose if I knew that I may have had a different expectation but when it comes to food I don't like feeling like I'm at the club. If I want to dance and have a good time and talk very little there are plenty of places for that. Restaurants shouldn't be that place. Food was great though definitely recommend get it to go and enjoy elsewhere

Restaurant is loud, but I just wear earplugs. Food is on the expensive side. Drinks are on the cheap side. Reservations are good to get. Torta carne asada - excellent. Great bread, great meat, well seasoned and made. Probably one of the top tortas. Fish tacos - excellent. The toppings make this stand out. Bean dip- hard to beat this secret recipe. Really! Margarita - the one I got had a float of the mix on top of the tequila. It was excellent. Bat drink - great

Overall rating: 4.5/5 Wait: 4.5/5 Arrival time: Saturday 12pm Food: 5/5 Order: carne asada taco, chicharon taco, pescado taco, elote, ceviche Service: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Definitely coming back Huarachis Taqueria is a culinary gem that serves up a fiesta of flavors with every bite. The carne asada taco is a masterpiece of tender, juicy meat, while the chicharon taco is a crunchy delight that dances on the palate. The pescado taco offers a fresh oceanic twist, and the elote is a charred, creamy concoction that's simply irresistible. The ceviche, paired with light and airy tortilla chips, is a refreshing symphony of citrus and seafood. It's no wonder this place is heralded as Bacanora's sister restaurant; the quality and passion in the cooking are palpable. With attentive service and fair pricing, Huarachis Taqueria is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic and memorable dining experience. Definitely coming back for another round of their culinary delights!

We came to Huarachis to celebrate a birthday dinner and had a great time. We got the carnitas platter which was delicious -- it was a ton of food for two, in fact, we saw another table splitting it four ways. The platter was a great way to sample a little bit of everything. The restaurant was very loud, which could be a pro or a con depending on the vibe you're looking for. It was lively and a fun taqueria experience, but not a great place to have much dinner conversation.

We were a group of 4 and were told that the wait was that of 1 - 1.5 hours. We didn't mind since we were already there so I put my name down. They texted me about 45 minutes in and we made it on over. We were seated and our table was set. The table set up reminded me of what a prison set up could look like. The chairs were flimsy, the table was all metal, and the plates and dishes were all metal as well. It looked and felt cheaper then Ikea products. The server came over and gave us water. We could barely hear her as the music was blaring loudly so we told her we were still looking over the menu. We looked it over and decided on what we wanted. We ordered: Appetizers: 1 order of Duros 1 order of Corn Entrees: 1 Torta de Carne Asada 1 Torta de Hongos (mushrooms) 1 platter of Pollo Asado - It came with tortillas, pico de gallo, beans, tostada, potatoes, 2 pieces of grilled corn, grilled green onions, 1 jalapeno, 1 serrano chile, and the grilled chicken. Drinks: 2 Cokes 1 Cocktail drink - Was very good Th Duros came out right away and they tasted nothing different then if you were to buy them from a street vendor. It was topped with some stinky cheese which didn't do much to help with flavor. The salsa it came with was super spicy, so beware. The corn we got as an appetizer was hard and was not fully cooked. My friend wanted a mushroom huarache and the server told her that couldn't be done. Although on the menu it says you can pick any protein, so not sure what that was all about. She ended up getting a mushroom torta instead. She wasn't too impressed and felt like they barely put any mushrooms in it. Not worth the $18 price point as it was way too plain. My other friend had the carne asada torta and he said the meet was too chewy and had several pieces of fat. The flavor of the meat was good though. But again, not worth the $18 they are charging for it. It doesn't even come with a side and you can't count the few pieces of pickled carrots they accompanied it as a side. My sister and I had the grilled chicken platter and we were surprised to see how big this platter actually was. I started off with the beans and those were delicious! I would've preferred for them to be hotter though as they were served lukewarm. I ate my beans with the tostadas and it was pretty good. The pico de gallo tasted like any other pico, so nothing to rave about. The tortillas were hard af and had definitely been sitting out. They were way too hard and just a tip? Maybe just microwave them instead of grilling them so they are edible. Our corn was good - flavor wise, but they were also hard and burnt. The outside was too burnt but the kernels were still hard and not cooked enough. Our potatoes were way too salty, but they have potential. Th grilled onions and chilies were good but how hard is it to mess that up? The chicken wasn't bad and it had a unique smoky and spicy flavor. I couldn't really tell if it was cooked well enough though because the purple lighting inside was not helping. There were some pieces of chicken that still looked pink inside. Blah. Our server was non existent after the food was dropped off. When done, we sat waiting for the check for a while so we flagged another server down. We had no idea that we couldn't split the check and so we asked if we could. This other lady very rudely answered us that it couldn't be done. Guess you cant ask any questions here..... We were surprised to see that the tortas were $18 each. The torta itself is $12 and if you want a protein it is $6 more. The Pollo Asado platter is reasonably priced but it is not listed on the menu. It's $58.00. We were sitting right next to the bar so we had to deal with the smell of the bar. They must use incense / fire for some of the drinks because every so often the strong smell would come to our table. It definitely did not mix well while we ate our food. The service could be better and the food too. The concept is pretty cool.

So far my favorite Mexican food in the city. Been here for 14 years! The food came out crazy fast, but still the quality was top notch. Not sure how they did that. Drinks were creative and tasty. Will definitely be back to try the carne asada steak fries. Only negative was the music was too loud and not in a cranky old person way. It's just it's a family style place where you share food and you can barely communicate.

I have to say- I've rarely seen a restaurant this poppin 5 minutes after opening. Somehow at 5:05, people had drinks and were munching on small plates. I had to scuttle inside and take pictures later to secure my seat at the bar Vibe- great. Food- great. Drinks- good (but limited.) This place is trendy af- down to the living monsteras and vibrant pink decor. The owner and award winning chef Rene Andrade did not dissapoint us with his first solo venture. I, personally, was more impressed with Huarachis than I was with his other co-owned establishment, Bacanora. Everything was very reasonably priced, which was a pleasant surprise. Per usual- I wish there were cheaper cocktails and a happy hour menu, but overall I'm happy. Only a 5 minute skateboard ride, so I know I'll be back to @huarachis.phx

An amazing, accessible reprise by the Bacanora team. Succulent tacos, beautiful and delicious cocktails, and a cute casual ambience. Service is friendly. The tortillas with butter are an underrated gem. I've brought many friends here for birthdays and just because.

5/5 for food, service and ambiance! I fell in love with the Magia cocktail. Tequila, rum, pineapple, lemon, allspice, Curacao foam, absinthe . So good! Pretty much a Now and Later. This is one of my new favorite places! It screams nostalgia. Bringing me back to growing up in AZ in the 90s Also get the tortillas+butter AND the asada fries!! I will say that it can get pretty loud but I like that sort if thing

Very nice food served in an industrial style venue ... the quesadilla is served rolled up like a parchment ... very tasty. Ceviche was excellent too with a little spicy kick. But be warned, it's very noisy ... music turned up way too loud, nothing acoustically absorbent anywhere (concrete, steel and glass), and tables set very close to each other ... really made it hard to converse, and detracted from what was otherwise a terrific meal.

We were able to snag seats at the bar during their grand opening. I loved the fun vibe of the interior with the pink lights. Unfortunately they had already run out of the agucate, so I will have to go back and try that at a different time. The papas Al disco were amazing. The tacos were full of flavor and heat and the quesadilla was extra cheesy. Great new restaurant in the Roosevelt Row area.

Let's seeeeeeee..... well we arrived just in time! Before late night menu began. We had the Carne asada tacos - good, average Chicharrón tacos - perfectly crispy, a little bland so the salsa was used. Speaking of, the light red is the best IMO Tripas - different but good! Pescado - DELICIOUS!!! The winner! Sides- papas al disco - Another winner! The cazuelas were a great touch to the theme, ate up the pickled onions, thinly sliced radishes, pickled carrots & jalapeños & crispy cucumbers! Drink: day dreams & Jarritos de piña - no drops wasted Service was great, check-ins were perfectly timed and appreciated the bottles of water at the tables for self serve. The hostess was super nice and accommodating since we got there just before the full kitchen closed. The vibes were vibin' as the young kids say nowadays lol it is definitely trendy, love the plants, art, the staff, and the music was never slow. Not a lick of Spanish music but still good to do a happy dance to when eating. This place is going to blow up, my taste buds can feel it! Haha

New restaurant concept from the godfather behind Bacanora. This new concept is just as special. Tacos are their specialty. Tacos are on the expensive side at $6 a pop but damn are they good and totally worth it. My favorite taco was the carne asada. Also tried the chips and guac and quesadilla, both of which were unbelievable. The restaurant is super trendy. Music is on point. This spot is going to be a downtown phx gem.

Love this place. It's got a unique vibe that adds to the delicious flavor of the food. We loved the quesadilla and the papas. Both are a solid choice for a starter. I tried the cabeza, pescado, and bongos tacos. All were delicious but the pescados was probably a slight favorite over the others. I can't wait to come back and try more of what they have to offer.

MEH! When I found out this was a restaurant of one of the top chefs in the valley I couldn't believe it. I had to send the salsa back because it tasted like it was expired and had an acid taste to it. The staff told me it was made yesterday and they accidentally put "too much vinegar." YUCK! A restaurant that doesn't have fresh salsa daily and uses vinegar in their salsa? NO THANKS! My husband loved his burrito. I got the enchiladas minus the dairy and it was good, I needed to add pico to make it better. The pico was really good actually. We did also order their version of an avocado toast and after eating half of it I found an eyelash on the side of the plate so I didn't finish it but also didn't complain either because I already complained about the salsa. Too bad Otro Cafe was closed and we settled for this, definitely wouldn't return.

My husband and I had an amazing early lunch here about a week ago! It's such a cute and trendy place with amazing food and drinks. My favorite was the elote and the friend mushroom taco. Lots of great vegan options. Our server was perfect and had great suggestions and timing.

Came again and was kind of let down. Drinks just need work, they are way too expensive given what's offered in the area and mine had more ice than liquor. It wasn't balanced either. The flour tortillas that come in every taco also need work. They are way too thick, and hard to chew, which makes the tacos just fall apart and therefore challenging to eat. The carne is still relatively flavorless especially when you can walk at any taco place across the street and it will be 10x better. I really want to like this place, but they haven't improved since opening. It's just not worth the price.

I have been so excited to try this place since they first started the construction and finally got to go and they exceeded all of my expectations! All of the staff were so friendly, we were immediately greeted and sat (Thursday night around 8:30PM). The server brought out 3 of their salsas and then an additional 2 after I told her how spicy I like mine! They were all amazing but the ghost one and their version of tapatio were my favorites. We started with esquites- so delicious, my only critique here is that it probably could've used some more tajin type seasoning but I still scarfed the whole thing down. Then we got the carne asada, lengua, and pescado tacos. Carne asada was perfect, just what you would expect. The lengua was amazing, meat was super tender and almost melted in your mouth. But my favorite BY FAR was the pescado. The fish was cooked and battered perfectly, I just have absolutely no critiques. They also brought a little bowl with cucumbers, pickled onions, jalapenos, pickled carrots and other garnishes which was another one of my favorite parts. I also want to stress one more time how amazing the staff was. They were quick, friendly, accommodating, and went out of their way to make it the best experience for us. I'm already excited for my next visit!! :)

Fantastic spot for Mexican food. Minimal interior with bright pink lights and eclectic tchotchkes. Walked in after a Diamondbacks game and promptly seated. Menu is small and concise. We got the carnitas platter and a lengua taco. The platter was massive and definitely could have fed more than 2 people. It came with a heaping pile of meat over some really tasty potatoes, salsas, charred onions, tortillas, pico, pickled onions, and the same delicious beans they serve at Bacanora. The lengua was by far a standout though. Super tender and probably some of the best I've had outside of Mexico. Highly recommend this place if you can't get into Bacanora.

They charged me $80 for carne asada fries. It said market price on the menu. Felt like highway robbery. Really should say something when you order. I would never come back here again. I just can't believe it. I had to do a double take when I saw the bill. Asked the bartender and with a straight face she said that's market price.

10/10 best taco place in Phoenix. The restaurant itself is a vibe, the service is fast and top tier, and the food is out of this world. The menu changes frequently so there's always something new and exciting to bring you back and some items can be prepared vegan upon request. They also offer a selection of cocktails and mocktails. This place is a true crowd pleaser.

Food here is absolutely horrible. Drinks disappointing. Service is non existent. It's more of a "instagram restaurant" no real substance here ! Other restaurants to choose from.

Huarachis is a super cool spot with a unique menu and great ambiance! Super casual and fast service. It's a great little spot to hit up downtown for a quick bite to eat with friends!

Trendy taco place in downtown Super busy even at 11 pm Carne asada tacos were good but I really enjoyed the potato taco Music it's a little loud so it makes it difficult to carry a conversation

We went on a First Friday, so it was very busy. Didn't have to wait long for seating. Appreciate how quick and efficient the staff were.The food was excellent. A lot to choose from on their menu. I enjoyed the laid back feel of the restaurant. The drinks were fun. The service was friendly! I will 100% go back. I need to taste everything on this menu.

Sat at the bar next to ... Chris Bianco. Everything passed the vibe check that night, obviously. Even got to meet chef Rene. It was just a lovely turn of fate and fun to be a fly on the wall. It was giving Miami Vice inside--neon pink, white walls, reflective surfaces. Transported me out of city. I'm still dreaming of the beans. Seriously the best bean you'll ever put in your mouth. Okay, I'm gonna move on from that statement. The shrimp tacos were juicy and creamy. Lord, I'm gonna stop describing this meal right now. I don't know how I got here. I left so full it hurt. That's when you know it's good.

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!! I am amazed! Even though this place is located downtown and has limited parking, I love the ambiance, food, and service here. It's truly amazing! The size of the place is also impressive, given the quality of the food. I can't believe it! This is just fantastic! I did ask for "dealer calls it" (it's my thing to go with only what the bartender recommends) I walked out happier than ever. I went for ceviche and tacos with Negro Modelo and tequila shots.

Stopped by Huarachis on a tip from my out of town friend who said this place was an off shoot of Baconora. Location used to be Rodiberto's. Service was quick and getting food on the go, it took less than five minutes (maybe less) to get the two tacos I ordered. The chicharron taco was one of the best I've had in the Valley and I would recommend if you like chicharron. Chicharron for those who are curious is deep fried pork ____. *Space is for pig skin or belly depending on the chefs. Being downtown, Huarachis doesn't have space for curbside pick up and primarily for pedestrians or anyone who doesn't mind paying for parking and then walking there. It's a hip taco spot and wasn't too crowded for a late Saturday night.

Popped in here on early Friday evening. Had dinner plans later so thought we'd get a small bite and drink but the food tasted too good... ended up having full blown dinner. Tacos were so dang flavorful, especially the carne asada... wowie!!! Just awesome flavors really. Drinks were nice and boozy, great vibes and ambiance. I could see myself spending many hours there. Will go back to try everything else on the menu. 5 stars y'all
