Absolute hidden gem- You have to try their quesadillas. Service was great and food came out fast. Really good food

I'm so done with this place. The customer service is absolutely terrible every time and there is zero pride in their business. The cashier always has had an attitude but we were always able to ignore it due to the good food. My husband previously had an al pastor that made him never eat pork again. It had a foul taste and he vomited. Mind you, he had eaten this dish for many years at this location. I encouraged him to return and choose a different meat. Tonight did it for me... I ordered a chicken burrito as usual. The cheese was hard and cold, the tortilla was also hard, dry, and flavorless and not wrapped well. The meat quality has declined and it was overall inedible. I am not a picky eater. The restaurant was cold (possibly saving on energy- I get it) BUT my food was just waiting in the carry out and I had to wait an additional 5 mins just to pay for my food because the register was unattended! Why? Shocker, the cashier was outside hanging out with their girlfriend. Lastly, they charge stupid extra for salsa and they didn't even give it to me. Not to mention the price has significantly increased over the years but the quality has heavily declined. Will never order from here again. Take the trip to El Taco Yummy or Taqueria El Molcajete who appreciates your business and serves phenomenal food. read more

Poor service; not friendly, not very helpful almost as if she was bother by me being there. They had loud music and nobody was at the front to take the order. The actual food; definitely ok/good food but not worth the prices, far better prices for the same or better quality food in other places around. read more

Ordered carry out for a burrito and guac on a Saturday night. It was made quickly and the portion size was good, but they got my order wrong (I asked for black beans, didn't get any) and both it and the guac were meh taste-wise. read more

This is it!! I'm from California and I've been trying to find a solid quick service, non-chain Mexican food for years. The food was so fresh, delicious and authentic, we loved it! Many menu options. Clean and pleasant inside with several tables with comfortable chairs. The prices were also decent. Definitely coming back! read more

Off the beaten path taco spot. Good marinated pork tacos A burrito they were making looked humongous. Clean, fresh, Latina. Give em a try. Tell the Miguelito sent u. Haha read more

I really had high hopes for this spot after seeing the high Yelp rating but unfortunately I was extremely disappointed. We started off with an order of chips and salsa .. what could go wrong right? The salsa looked amazing but it tasted like an entire bag of sugar was dumped into the salsa. I've never experienced salsa tasting so sweet but it just wasn't good. For my main entree I ordered carne asada tacos, everything just tasted off. For some reason there were carrots on my tacos .. I ate half my taco but just couldn't get through the second. The meat was not good and the tacos were very soggy. Maybe it was an off day but I don't think I could bring myself to try anything else. read more

The food was great, the service was great, and the restaurant was beautiful! If you're in the area, you should stop by!

The bean and cheese pupusa was amazing and fresh. The tacos were okay, I look forward to trying the other ones. And you MUST try the hibiscus water, so freaking good!! read more

Hidden gem alert! Super satisfying, super legit tacos! And these tacos are huge! They require you to order a minimum of 2 tacos of the same meat, which is a little annoying, but they are worth it! For $3 a taco they arent the cheapest or the most expensive, but they're def value! For a normal person, 2 tacos will prob suffice to fill you up. But hubby and I of course want to try all the meats so we ended up getting 4 different types of tacos (for a total of 8 o.o). We are 2 each and were really full! We got Al pastor, lengua, cabeza, adobada (marinated pork). All were good, but=The best was probably the adobada: great flavor in the marinade and the meat was cooked well. Lengua and cabeza were super tender and meaty in flavor (but just a little more plain in terms of seasoning). And Al pastor was just ok - not the best flavor, but cooked well (not dry) and had pineapple chunks. The only negative we had was that you can only add 4 toppings for free - yes, onion, salsa, lime, salsa are all 4 separate toppings. Additional toppings are 50 cents each I wish they would have a toppings bar! But their green sauce was really good, one of the best we've had thus far. We would highly recommend getting it! (We also really want to try their red sauce) We also got 2 pupusas to go: cheese/pork and cheese/jalapeno (will update when we actually eat them) Horchata was also good and a good size cup! Another negative was that service was meh. The lady taking our order wasn't the most welcoming or nicest and she seemed annoyed when we tried to ask her questions about the food to help us pick which tacos to get, but it wasn't anything that would make me stay away. I definitely wish this was closer to where I lived! We would definitely eat here a lot if we lived closer. For ~$35, we probably got 2.5 meals worth of food for 2 people! Value and delicious food! read more

This is by far the most authentic and best Mexican restaurant in the DC area. I am surprised that we do not have more authentic Mexican restaurants in the DC area. Most of the restaurants I have is no where close to this one. So I am very glad I was able to have my dinner from here and try out their authentic food. I ordered Al Pastor (Pork Tacos) which is my favorite taco or all time. Spicy pork was well cooked and the juicy spicy flavor blended perfectly with my other toppings (lettuce, Mexican cheese, green habanero sauce, onions). You have to order a minimum of two of the same tacos and you get 4 toppings free. Extra toppings and sides are for an additional cost. Each taco is just $2.99. So price is very nominal. Since I had never heard of Papusas, I wanted to try it out from here. It's like a pancake but stuffed with meat and cheese. I am a huge of pork so both my Papusas had pork and cheese in it. They give you a cup of cabbage and sauce to along with it. Absolutely loved it! It looked similar to a Korean pancake from the outside. The best part was that it was not too greasy and hence pretty healthy. Each Papusa was about $2.99. Prices at this place is very nominal. No wonder this restaurant has an average rating of 5 stars. If live in this part of MD area or visiting MD, this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

Food was very blah.... I had the mixed fajita's that was served with rice and beans. Mother in law had pork carnitas plate also with beans and rice. No flavor at all. Quesadillas was good. Service was slow and music was so loud you could barely have a conversation. Soda machine broke but bottled drinks available $50+ read more

We used to love Del Huerto. Went today and had a terrible experience. Ordered 2 shrimp fajitas and a shrimp taco salad for $60 with tip. All the shrimp were way overcooked and super dry. I asked the cashier for a small side container of salsa as the shrimp were too dry. She argued with me and wanted to charge me 53 cents for the tiny salsa. I told her I wouldn't need it if the shrimp weren't so overcooked. She yelled saying, "so you want it for free, huh, here take it." I said no, I paid $60 for overly dry shrimp. You're lucky I'm not asking you to remake all 3 orders or ask for a total refund without eating. She was extremely rude and disrespectful over a 53 cent small side of salsa. Totally inexcusable. Never coming here again. read more

My first visit to this establishment. Tried several items and everything tasted great. The portions are gigantic, one dish could easily feed 2-3 people. Staff are efficient and the service was fast. After you eat you can go next door to the small grocery. Prices felt like they were on the high side, but you are taking lots of food home. Definitely a place to come back again. read more

Came here for the tacos. I got the carnitas and al pastor. The tortilla was smooth in mouthfeel yet maintains the corny complexity of a traditional Mexican street taco. The carnitas were juicy and cooked to a proper temperature, but failed to exhibit crispy pork peaks. The al pastor was smoky and tasted complex with light undertones of pinnapple accenting the pork. However, the meat was slightly tough on the bite. Del Huerto is a good taco joint and certainly worth a try if you're in Westminster. read more

Del Huerto Mexican Grill - Carnitas and Al Pastor Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

Decided to try this place since the reviews were so high. Very authentic with indoor and outdoor seating. Portions were HUGE (definitely enough for two meals each of you wanted) and everything was delicious. I ordered the chorizo tacos and barbacoa nachos supreme. The chorizo wasn't too spicy and was crisped perfectly on the grill. Great street tacos made to order with double corn tortillas. One thing to note about the tacos is there is a minimum of two and they must be the same meat. The nachos were also enough to feed an army (actually served three of us, but still great value). Really fresh ingredients with a TON of the barbacoa on it. It was honestly a mountain and every chip had plenty of toppings with each bite, unlike places were the bottom chips have nothing left on top. I will 100% be returning and trying something new. Definitely recommend! read more

Great closest authentic Mexican food i've had. The service was great. No complaints at all.

Excellent food, good prices. Menu items not avail in other places we will be returning soon.

Eating the best Mexican food while waiting for your laundry to get done. Horchatas are worth their price. I usually get tacos al pastor y de Lengua. Ursula and the rest of the crew are really nice people. Always try to say "gracias" when leaving so they know you really liked the food. read more

THE BEST AUTHENTIC TACOS IN MD! I found this little spot about 3 years ago and have moved from Frederick County to Harford County and still try to come here at least twice to 3 times a year!

Very good restaurant. Authentic Mexican food thoroughly enjoy everything I've had from here.

All good! I'm afraid if too many people find out then there will be a line out the door and then it'll be difficult for me to get the tasty authentic Mexican food to my face fast enough! Torta was HUGE! The kids taco was great! Quesadilla was good, my wife enjoyed her tacos too. I enjoyed the hot sauce variety at the table too. It's hard to decide on what you want to order because once you make your decision you'll see someone else with something else and think, "dang I shoulda got that!" read more

I had the chicken fajita not impressed very little flavor and didn't come with guac or lettuce for 15$ friend had the shrimp was like a rubber tire. read more

Delicious food. Unexpected location near the laundromat! Food is really good and seems authentic.

Tacos are absolutely excellent! Westminster has plenty of options for where to eat- this is one of my favorites. We got a bunch of different tacos (steak, pork, etc) with a bunch of different toppings and they did not disappoint. My favorite are the marinated pork tacos- YUM. I couldn't recommend enough. read more

Food here was solid. Could have used more seasoning. Im usually careful to avoid a lot of spice, but the dishes here were very mild.

My last five reviews have been positive, and it's time for a little negativity for a change...haha. Sunday night my girlfriend & I were traveling back from Lancaster, PA and took the scenic route through the south PA & north MD countryside. We decided to eat dinner in Westminster, the largest city in Carroll County, which isn't saying much. 3x larger than the next largest city, Hampstead. Although the Census Designated Place, Eldersburg is actually even bigger than Westminster. The only thing I knew in Westminster was the Arby's near the mall, which on a couple of very rare occasions in past companies I worked Carroll County and ate at that Arby's twice and recall they were super friendly. However, my girlfriend & I definitely didn't want Arby's. I parked in downtown, looked at my Yelp app to see what was open, and good nearby. We were only 0.2 miles away from Del Huerto, which had an average of 5-stars with like 32 reviews. This seemed to be a winner. We drove to this sketchy dark parking lot off an alleyway. Next door was a laundromat, which a doorway was connected to the restaurant from the inside of the restaurant as well. FOOD: The tacos and rice were very good. I've had better in the DC area and other areas of the country. But by Carroll County standards, this could be the best in that county. SERVICE: HUGE disappointment. My girlfriend asked for a burrito with extra cilantro, which was fine. Then, my order was unnecessarily difficult because of how they were. I wanted to get 3 tacos. I said, "I would like 1 carne asada, 1 al pastor..." The cashier interrupts me saying that I have to order the tacos two at a time, and it HAS to be the same meat. Surprised, I said really, so I can't get 3 tacos? I can't get different meats? The cashier, bad at communicating, couldn't even tell me. My g/f even correctly pointed out that it didn't say that on the menu. Considering that I would've been confined to one meat, I decided I would change my order. I look at the menu again, and quickly decided to switch to a Torta (sandwich), but I wanted to eat the refried beans separately. I didn't care for them mixed in with the sandwich; perhaps it still would've been good, but I preferred eating the refried beans separately. I asked the cashier, and he said, "I don't think we can do that. Let me check." After checking, he relayed back, no we can't do that. I'm thinking that they are being ridiculous, it would've cost no extra for them to put the refried beans separately on a plate. I switch back to the tacos this time going with two, both of them carne asada, since they were so inflexible to make two different kinds of meat. I got a side of rice too. Also, after my g/f got her burrito, she wanted to check if there was extra cilantro like she asked. The cashier said no, but the kitchen said yes. I found this to be another poor communication of the cashier. SIDE NOTE ON EXPERIENCE THERE: The other bad part about the ordering experience, which was not the restaurant's fault and has no bearing on me giving a 2-star review, was the kids running around the restaurant. I was getting VERY angry with the combination of the ordering and this kid getting in my way while ordering. WHERE ARE THE PARENTS?? WHY ARE KIDS RUNNING AROUND THE RESTAURANT?? RESTAURANTS AREN'T PLAYGROUNDS. THE PARENTS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES LETTING THE KIDS RUN AROUND, AND I HOPE THEY ARE READING THIS. ¿DÓNDE ESTÁN LOS PADRES? ¿POR QUÉ LOS NIÑOS CORREN ALREDEDOR DEL RESTAURANTE? RESTAURANTES NO SON PLAYGROUNDS. LOS PADRES DEBEN SER ACUSADOS DE SÍ MISMOS DEJANDO QUE LOS NIÑOS CORREN ALREDEDOR, Y ESPERO QUE ESTÉN LEYENDO ESTO. I will admit I was acting a little belligerent. One baby was crawling into the kitchen. I gave the mom a dirty look, and I said to my g/f I hope the kid gets burned; that'll teach them. My g/f didn't appreciate my anger, and she said you are turning red. I even made a Trumpian comment that my g/f's eyes got really big and was like WTF is your problem?! read more

Great papusa's! Everything else just depends on the quality of meat that day. This place would be great on everything if they used better quality meat. Sometimes the meat they use here is inedible and tastes old. I end up getting chorizo because you can't really screw that up. read more

Del Huerto Mexican Grill - tacos :) - Mexican Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

Overall - Disappointing Came in around lunchtime, it was busy, not over crowded. The restaurant was clean, even though it was lunch rush. Price - a touch steep, but not crazy. Value - decent size portions for the money. Food - really the only part that matters. I had a couple of carnitas tacos, a side of rice and beans. Just under $15. Didn't love the price, but was ok with it. At first. The carnitas was probably the greasiest I have EVER had. Now add to that, the greasy carnitas had ZERO flavor. That brings us back to the overall score of disappointing. Maybe it was a bad day, who knows... I do know, I won't go there again. Why spend that kind of money on something that I have to hope turns out ok? read more

Just finished an incredible dinner at Del Huerto. I'm so full this post is hard to write! But it was so good I had to rave!! We lived in Mexico for a good time & the food here is as close we have found to authentic cuisine. The al pastor meat was flavorful, cooked perfect, tender & melted in your mouth. The carne asada tacos were the same & just plain DELICIOUS. A true delight. The beans are refried and yummy & topped with Mexican cheese, not American shredded cheese like so many other places. The prices are so affordable. The salsa is spicy. It is a hard place to find so keep your eyes peeled! We will back over and over again. So stoked to have found such a wonderful, authentic spot for Mexican food!!!! read more

We were in town for MD Wine Festival and read the reviews on Del Huertas. Gave it a shot. It's a bit out of the way, but we'll worth it. The tacos were excellent. The pupusa was good. Enchiladas del pollo Verde, super! Drawbacks, the girl behind the register needs a course on customer service. When they forgot to make my pupusa, she made me get both receipts, our friends had a pupusa, and got theirs, so she thought we had only ordered one. Eventually finding the receipts, they made my pupusa. Regardless, the food overshadowed the service and more tthan made up for it. read more

I'm mad because I can't believe it took me years to finally give del Huerto a chance. Best tacos in Westminster hands down. Also I tried the enchiladas and I'm absolutely amazed. I haven't had actual spicy enchiladas in about a decade. Only thing that sucks about this location is getting in and out of the parking lot. There's a huge blind spot getting out and a lot of people don't abide by speed limits. Even then it's still difficult to tell if anyone is coming around the corner until it's too late. It's like you better just pray you don't get hit. read more

Tucked away treasure. Super authentic food. Off the beaten path. Huge portion sizes. Great price and value. It's rare that I don't finish a meal but I got half way through and was stuffed! Highly recommend the green chicken enchiladas. read more

Del Huerto Mexican Grill - Green chicken enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

An unassuming location in a less traversed part of Westminster, this eat in/take out joint has tasty, made to order tacos and other culinary pleasures. At this casual and comfortable eatery, expect no frills, quick service, and something fresh and different that you'll keep thinking about well after the point of satiation. I noticed someone complained about the English/Spanish translation and communication with the server in another review. While I can understand the desire for the whitewashed caricatures of culture Disney has bequeathed to us, my response to that is: There's a Taco Bell around the corner if not being in a hollowed out, hyper Anglicized place makes anyone uncomfortable. For me, I relish the opportunity to see such a great establishment thriving, and experience a very small taste of their culture-and haven't had any problems understanding the menu (plus, Google is a ready source if you're not sure) or communicating my order to staff. read more

As somewhat of a foodie, I was incredibly impressed to find a quality Mexican restaurant in Westminster. This place is LEGIT. Fair warning: it's small, and it's next to a laundromat, and there are only a few tables - don't expect this to be a 5 star dining experience (also, this is more of a grab and go kind of place, so no alcohol). You order at the counter and then grab a seat. We tried 3 different types of tacos - carnitas, barbacoa, and al pastor (spicy pork with onions and pineapple). For $2.50 apiece, each taco was stuffed to the brim, with fresh ingredients. The meat was perfectly cooked, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. Definitely stop in if you're hungry and want a cheap, tasty lunch on the go. read more
