This used to be my go-to for Mexican food in Byram prior to the pandemic! Located in a strip off…read morethe Main Street, you really would not know it was there. This was literally my first visit back since the pandemic and I was a little excited to go, especially since it was Cinco De Mayo. We were a party of 4 and sadly the service wasn't good. We placed our order well before some larger parties and others who came after us and after watching them get their food, we asked about ours. Our server never came back out of the kitchen until much later but we did finally get our food. They did apologize but never said what the issue was. Despite the issue with service, our food was good. I ordered the spinach enchilada Suizas which had a spicy kick to them. I liked them. Would have loved them if it wasn't for that extra kick. The spinach was also not wilted as it is when I've ordered this dish from other restaurants. The drinks were ok too. Nothing to get excited about but I'm willing to bet they were just a little watered down due to the special day. I am going back because it's a local spot that I've enjoyed in the past.

A shrimp enchilada, a tamale and a crispy beef taco. Let's start with the chips and salsa. Chips thin and warm. That a bonus. Salsa was ok. Husband asked for salsa picosa twice and we never got it. His steak was boiled meat. No flavor. The server asked lots of questions for details but none of the details were met. My Tamale had no cheeee sauce that was requested. The taco had no lettuce and cheese that was requested. The shrimp enchilada was as ordered. All tasted ok. The tamale was moist so I'm counting that as a victory. Mike ordered one chile toriado (spelling) he got a full order of 4. We just rolled with it. The shrimp were a nice size and tasted pretty good. Overall the flavor was lacking today. We will return and get the chicken fajitas in hopes that their food quality did not decline with the interior changes. The decor is very modern and feels like a sports bar with lots of TVs. The colored lightbulbs over each booth are very pretty to look at, but making reading a menu impossible. We had to use the light on our phone to read the menus.

My client recommended here for a lunch meeting and it was abundantly apparent that he is here frequently. It was kind of like Norm walking in Cheers. The place has a pretty good atmosphere and the food is good. I went with the Super Burrito and was impressed with it. We also started with a chorizo quest dip and while a bit salty, it was good. I would definitely recommend here.

If you do muss out on this place, it is your loss. Thanks to Yelp and the overall positive reviews, I was seeking out El Cabrito and I still drove by it, lol. Oh well, not a big deal and in no time, I was parked in their parking lot and walking in. I was seated and the overall ambiance was what you would expect from a Mexican restaurant. Nothing fancy, but that's okay. For me, I have always found the best Mexican food in these mom-and-pop, more humble type places. My server was friendly and I opted to go with one of the burritos. I believe that they called it their grande steak burrito. I enjoyed my burrito and for ten dollars, it was competitively priced. I would definitely recommend El Cabrito.

I would not want to come here again. The salsa was very watery and didn't have a good flavor. Also…read morethe refried beans tasted metallic, like they'd been sitting in aluminum foil or the bottom of the warmer. The "chihuahua" cheese also tasted a bit odd. Everything, except for the rice, just had this sort of off flavor about it. Also it was very dark and the lighting inside was harsh with cool tone spot lights shining right in my eyes. The AC was just a huge open duct that blew across the whole room. So the overall atmosphere was not my favorite. The menus seemed dirty too and had a faint smell.

Can't believe I am the first one doing a review on Taqueria Hernandez?…read more 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.
