Taqueria Hernandez

Okay, so this place is a must. Great food, excellent prices, and quick service in a causal dining atmosphere. I won't say Spanish is required for visiting, but it will certainly enhance the experience. There is a bar for smaller parties, and a variety of table sizes for larger groups. TVs are located on the walls for watching soccer, etc. Food ranges from tacos, tortas & quesadillas to a few full plate options. Side items are very limited, but trust me, portions are generous enough you won't need sides. And there's a condiment bar with salsa ropa and verde, onions, cilantro, limes, etc., to enhance your food. You can choose from agua frescas like horchata, Jarritos sodas, Mexican Coke, and there's a pretty good selection of Mexican beers available as well. There aren't many tables in total, so the place can fill up, but it's totally worth a visit!

this was my first time here and as soon as you walk in it smells like authentic Mexican food!! I tried three different tacos and they all were great. I found a new taco spot.!

Great food ! And authentic taste too! 100% recommended, amazing service I’m in love with this restaurant.

What can I even say, such an authentic Mexican experience it was beautiful and almost made me shed one tear on some movie type shit. Overall the food is amazing and I will come back to this place in the near future.

If you have not eaten here, I strongly suggest that you do!! I had the tacos (Beef and Brisket) and they were amazing! The staff was very nice and welcoming. My wife and I will be back for more!

my first time here….when you walk in the smell is wonderful. Smells like authentic Mexican food I tried three different tacos and all of them were great!!!

The service here is quick and to the point. These tacos are delicious and I’m so glad I took a chance on eating here. The ambiance is basic, but the flavors make up for its simplicity. I like how I can see the cooks preparing my food. The salsas are amazing! I had the Al pastor and asada tacos, they were out in 5-7 minutes. I was in and out of here in 20 minutes!

Most authentic and bursting full of flavor. Definitely a 5 start location.

Can't believe I am the first one doing a review on Taqueria Hernandez? Anywho, actually went to the Pizza Hut across the street one day, and thats when I noticed the Taqueria Hernandez sign and said I would give them a try. Decided to go on a Saturday, around 2 pm. They were steady, not too busy. The staff was nice and courteous, and greeted me upon entrance. Decided to order a Burrito with Asada (Steak) and Pollo (Chicken) with double meat, told them I didn't mind paying extra for both. Positives on the location - it was clean, and I love their condiment bar. My wait time for the burrito was so/so, and I say that considering what I paid for it, what I received portion-wise, and the quality of the wrap. I paid around $16 for the burrito, so I was expecting a nice stuffed burrito that was wrapped tightly. To my dismay, it wasn't. In regards to the wrap, it was comparable to something I would receive from Taco Bell - so that caught me off guard, considering this was supposed to be an authentic taqueria. Back to the positives. Now the taste of the burrito was spot on - the asada and pollo were well seasoned, and the quality of the ingredients was spot on. I just wish there was more bang for my buck for the portion I received, and the wrap of the burrito was better. Ambiance - average considering this is a taqueria-type establishment. So the ambiance is not bad, but no need to dress up in a tuxedo to get some tacos and/or a torta. I will close out on this. We have a lot of cantinas/taqueria that have opened in the Jackson metro area, and that is a great thing. However, I grew up in Chicago and Cleveland, where our taquerias/cantinas make mean burritos, and it appears that many of the cantinas and food trucks down here are not trying to wow us in that regard down here. Not saying I won't go back, but I think there's room for improvement. The taste of the food was phenomenal, I hope they can step their game up in the future. I would give them 3.5 stars - but since yelp only lets you give whole stars, I will give them a solid 3. Taste of the food is excellent, what keeps me from giving 5 stars - the portions for the price.
