I had a really good fish taco there. A big piece of perfectly fried fish, on a corn tortilla with a simple sauce and cabbage. A bargain at $8.00! read more

My company orders food from them often and we like it so far the minus star review is because this is the third time they forgot my soda can. I know it's just a 4.00dlls soda and I'm not even paying but, seriously, you never send the sodas or the driver keeps it? Please be careful with the order drinks! read more

Loved that it was so close to where we were staying in a cutesy shopping area. They had indoor and outdoor seating and loved the decor. The service was great and they were able to explain the dinner items but on the menu they had what every item came with as well. I did not like that everything like the tortillas and chips and salsa was all at a separate cost. The plate sizes were pretty good and most everything had decent flavor. The chile verde enchiladas had a lot of flavor the fajitas were not seasoned enough. The pozole was good and was filled with a lot of hominy and chicken and pork. I just wish the toppings came on the side so I could put as much as I wanted instead of it all being plopped on top and would have preferred the onions to be chopped instead of sliced. We got the watermelon margarita which they make with agave wine which was still good and had good flavor. They also have aguas frescas so I got the horchata which was good a bit on the sweeter side for me but good. Overall not a bad place to stop for a quick find. read more

I tried this place after years of seeing it and not making it happen. I asked out of curiosity, it's been here for over 14 years! It was OK. Not bad in any way, but it was good-enough. I ordered the tacos dorados with chicken, it was barely above dry and it didn't seem the chicken had any flavor. Was it boiled? Tasted like it. It came with two sauces, one habanero salsa and a guacamole which was nice. Meh, everything tasted like it needed salt or flavor. My litmus test is al pastor at any taco shop. Their meat is stewed. The flavor was good but... stewed. I hate leaving bad reviews. There were good experiences such as the staff was super friendly, pricing was decent for amount of food. Handmade tortilla for the taco. If I was in a pinch I'd try something else there and give it another shot. They make a corn tortilla quesadilla which is a treat for gluten free folks like me. read more

El Huarache Loco - Tacos Dorados and an Al Pastor Taco - Mexican Near Me - Larkspur, California

Service was Great, Ambiance of the Marin Country Mart was wonderful, only problem was the food was very average in taste and expensive in cost. Got 2 Birria tacos and a bowl of Tortilla Soup with a drink and it was almost $40. The taste of the food wasn't all that great either, wasn't spiced all that much. Was obviously cooked for those that dont eat much in the way of ethnic foods with lots of spice. read more

The best enchiladas I've had so far. I don't know what they put in their green sauce but it's fantastic. I would say it's probably the most affordable sit down restaurant in the area that is worth your time. Staff is always friendly and restaurant is always clean. I usually order ahead and have never had issues with waiting for my food to come out. Highly recommend read more

Staff and Service: - Order at the counter and the cashier will give you a number - The cashier helped answer questions we had about the menu, which was helpful Food: - Enchiladas: not your typical enchiladas - this dish was more of a layered enchilada instead of rolled. The flavor was good, the chicken was moist, and there was a good amount of rice and beans - Tacos Dorados: I wouldn't call these tacos, but more like crispy taquitos. The chicken in these was pretty dry - Soda, water, beer, margaritas, etc. are available as drinks for purchase Miscellaneous: - There is indoor seating, as well as outdoor seating that is shared amongst the other restaurants in a courtyard - The outdoor tables are large and good for big groups - Bathrooms are communal to the shopping area - Parking is available via parking lots surrounding the shopping area read more

I have been contemplating coming to this place every-time I walk larkspur landing but just couldn't get myself to pay $8 a taco. I finally decided to just even try! I went in on a nice day and decided to get a michelada and a fish taco, the person I was with ate a taco de asada and also had a michelada, for that I paid $35. It took around 15-20 minutes to get our beers and tacos. The michelada was very tasty but the beer was room temperate so it was a bit dissatisfying as it was a fairly hot day. The fish taco has absolutely no flavor and it came with an orange salsa but that also lacked flavor. The taco de asada also lacked any seasoning and not much cilantro or onion on it either. The price tag of $8 is extreme especially for what they delivered. I cannot say much about the main courses as we just had the tacos but I personally would only be back if it was again a hot day and was craving a michelada (and if I was in the area otherwise I'd go somewhere else). read more

Stopped by El Huarache Loco for dinner and enjoyed it. It's a bright, casual spot with a chill vibe and friendly staff--perfect for a laid-back meal. The margarita was simple and refreshing--not too sweet, nice lime flavor, and just strong enough. Great pairing with the food read more

I ordered the quesa birria, and it was delicious! The tortillas were perfectly crispy, packed with tender, flavorful birria, and the consommé was rich and savory--great for dipping. The portion was generous, easily enough to feed two people. I also got a few extras, and with the tip, the total came out to $33, which is a really good price for the area. Definitely worth it for the quality and portion size. I'd order again! read more

I live this place. The number of choices and the taste of the food is of a quality that assures I will return again and again. The chips are warm and crispy such that we ate our fair share. read more

They assured me verbally at the register that the stuff was vegan and yet it came with dairy crema. :0 The jícama pineapple salad was 99% cabbage, and 1% jicama + pineapple. :( Freezing cold because the door was open. read more

First I should preface this review and say we were seeking healthy, fresh Mexican food which how this place promotes itself. Unfortunately, our $90 lunch at El Huarache was very disappointing. Lunch was 2 enchilada plates, 2 margaritas and chips and quac. The chicken enchiladas plates had one mole and one with red sauce. They came with luke-warm (!) tasteless grilled chicken on top (not inside) of a tortilla with VERY little (unremarkable) sauce, a bit of cheese and zero flavor. We ordered chips and quac which came with two small sides of two types of salsa which also had zero flavor. I'm not a spice fiend but I would like a bit of flavor!! The margaritas were fine if a bit on the sweet side. Maybe we chose the wrong dishes. ‍ On the plus side, The venue (Marin Country Mart) is lovely place to meet for lunch and sit outdoors in the sun. read more

Great Mexican food and flavor. Now days there lots of mix of flavors of Mexican food with other so it is difficult to find good and authentic Mexican food. read more

Decent Mexican food all the normal things you want are available and I liked the salsa a lot too

literally the longest i've ever had to wait for two tacos in my life, absolutely insane

The Country Mart parking can be insane, depending on time/day, but the center is beautiful to sit outside on a sunny day. Their chips are fantastic, and the beef quesadillas is a go-to for me. Their margaritas are divine as well! read more

The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious, with a great selection. They offer margaritas with options like watermelon or spicy sauce--we, as always, went with the watermelon and classic flavors. The meat is exceptionally tasty, and all the dishes we tried were fresh and flavorful. You can also adjust the spice level to your preference. read more

Ordered the quesabirria tacos and they're so delicious! The tacos had generous amounts of tender meat in large corn tortillas. The consommé was tasty. I would return and order more food. read more

Visited with my little one. We had the Ensalada Doña Luz with carne asada added and the children's cheese quesadilla. My little one's quesadilla came with rice and beans. After scarfing down his plate, he said if another quesadilla appeared, he'd eat that too. It's worth noting, that once he dug in, conversation ended until his meal was finished. My salad was excellent. The dressing was a tad sweet though. Next time, I might ask for salsa instead. I enjoyed the queso fresco and the crunchy pepitas. The carne asada was well seasoned and super flavorful. There's plenty of seating inside and out. We were quite comfortable on the picnic tables outside of the restaurant. I'm excited to try the tacos birria on our next visit! read more

salsas have no taste or heat to them. food was straight ass, flavorless . & they have a cockroach problem, as i was ordering one came out from underneath the register. read more

Food was not good service was good not impressed and over priced the sope I had the chicken was so dry and no flavor the Chile Riano was okay but definitely had better read more

Deeelicious chile relleno, tortilla soup, pozole, and guacamole. The corn tortillas are fresh and the real deal. Service is fast and efficient. Delicious choices of drinks for your meal ranging from Jarritos brand to the local Juice Shop tonics. The salads have always been fresh. I have been here several times and will continue to visit. read more

Straight rip off! Everything was expensive for what it was. Topping on the cake was to ad lettuce to a regular taco for $2, iceberg st that! LOL read more

We came to Larkspur for a few things that day, and ate here for lunch. Both of us were so happy that we ate here. We had a variety of tacos, most of which were great, and a taco salad. The plain/chicken taco was a bit dry. Otherwise, everything was excellent. They have a house salsa that's super tasty. I loved that everything was plated in traditional Mexican plateware. They have a great variety of proteins and a bunch of combinations to eat them. I think they could improve by offering more sauces out of the bottle. read more

Try the tacos! This place is quick and the food is tasty. They bring your food to the table, but its a casual spot. Portions are healthy and parking is super easy because its sits in a strip mall right next to the Larkspur Ferry Terminal. This is one of the few Mexican places around that I've seen that serves Huaraches. My favorite is the Huarache Loco Campechano. Its over a foot long! Its served with cilantro, onions, salsa, sour cream and cheese with choice of two toppings. I recommend sharing it with at least one other person, if not two. read more

Been here a number of times and it is OK, but there are so many other Mexican-type of eateries around. Larkspur Landing is convenient to our son's family and the shopping center at this location is just a popular spot were the kids can run around and adults have a number of eating options. El huarache Loco does pride itself in having Mexixo City/Districo Federal style of dishes and lists some on the big menu board. You order reading the board, take a number and sit at a table for your order to reach you. Limited seating, so go outside where there are a number of picnic tables. Convenient, but asi, asi or so-so for food. read more

The Marin Country Mart is always a great place to meet for a meal, coffee or a snack, and El Huarache Loco isn't an exception. There were so many tasty options on the menu, and I decided to go with the special of the day - the birria tacos with rice and beans. The birria tacos were juicy and savory, though the sauce it came with (along with the rice and beans) were on the bland side. There's ample seating in the courtyard and also plenty of seating indoors. read more

I was always a fan of this restaurant. The service was always good. BUT yesterday, our favorite fish taco had gotten smaller ; not crispy at all. The cabbage cole slaw did not taste fresh; was soggy & old instead of crunchy & fresh. Did the restaurant get a new cook since remodeling? read more

What a pleasant surprise to find these delicious tacos all the way up here in Marin County-- definitely surpassed my expectations for the area. Ordered the carne asada, al pastor, and chicken tacos. Loaded them up with some lime and hot sauce and they were bomb. read more

The food is more in 3.5-4 level. The service could be better. It's more of a 2.5-3 kinda level. They can be rude. My daughter enjoys their Mexican rice. And we go there often. The prices are great! Seating is nice too, inside it's "coco" feels! Seating is nice outside too since it's at the Marin county mart in Larkspur. It's a beautiful area. read more

12/13/20 This was one of the few restaurants open in this "shopping center" (not sure what else to call it?--not quite an outdoor mall, but sorta like that.) We originally came up to hike, and knew there were tons of nice hipster-type food here, so we figured we'd just find one we liked with outdoor seating... Well, first off it was raining, so that outdoor seating idea was a bit of a silly thought already, haha. But secondly, it turns out this whole Marin area is closed down for any public eating I think. So, most restaurants on this property were completely closed, and El Huarache was one of the few options. As it turns out, their food's actually pretty good, thankfully. I've been having a lot of luck with Mexican food lately. I will add that their staff isn't super nice. Their demeanor just ain't friendly, but they're not rude either, so it was okay. I think the part that bugged me was that they wouldn't give me any extra napkins when I asked and just pointed inside my bag which had a few. (As I knew we would, we totally ran out of napkins 1/2 way through our meal, the original ones soaked in Mexican goodness and baby slime.) Also, they wouldn't give me any water. Said they only sell bottled water. Sigh. Okay, so the food... 1. Watermelon Agua Fresca 16oz $5: One of the better agua frescas I've had! Usually these things have a watered-down taste. I always assumed that was the traditional taste as out of dozens I've had, they're all like watered down juice. Figured since it's called "agua" fresca, that agua must mean something right? But this one was nearly pure fresh watermelon juice! Very nice. 10/10 2. Fish Taco $6 "lightly fried battered fish w/ cabbage & avocado mayo dressing, organic corn tortilla": Fish itself was great--battered and lightly fried, flaky and moist insides. I think $6 is pushing it in terms of cost, but it was technically a good fish taco. 8/10 3. Chorizo Taco $4.75 "onions, cilantro & salsa, organic corn tortilla": Thye used good chorizo! Not that crumbled up, dripping orange crap. This was chunky, sausagy, flavorful meat! The tortillas they use are also better than typical store bought stuff. 9/10 4. Gordita $7.50 + $3 Meat "round-shaped organic corn tortilla filled w/ ground pork, source cream, salsa, onions, cilantro, cheese": Well, hmmmmm... so THIS is a gordita??? You mean all this time Taco Bell LIED????? So what was served was a round pizza-ish thing of a corn meal crust, about 1cm thick. It was tasty too--rustic enough, but enjoyable. I'm not sure what kind of meat I got, and it's not clear from the picture, but whatever it was, it was seasoned well and tasted fine. I think $10.50 is quite a lot for what this is though, so... if you want to try what an authentic (I assume) gordita is, given the lies perpetuated by Taco Bell, go ahead. 5/10 5. Huarache con Costilla (with Steak?) $13 "tender rib meat or grilled chicken breast": Well, it is their namesake. I had no clue what I would be getting except I had to get it, right? Turns out it's quite similar to the gordita--a heavy, dense bread of a lot of corn meal, but instead of shaped like a circle, it's more of a racetrack oval. I got steak (doesn't say it's an option on the menu, but the cashier mentioned it) and it was pretty good! Like real carne asada steak meat. Not the juiciest I've ever had, but quite meaty and juicy enough. Nice Mexican seasoning. I wasn't sure how to eat this... ......and oh yeah... they were nice enough to give us 3 tiny, crappy plastic forks, but no knives.... yeah, so wasn't sure how to eat this, but I basically folded it into a sandwich and ate it like that. Yummy! 9/10 Alright, so I think the food is between 4-5 stars if you get the right items, especially them serving legit Mexican! But... I do think they can work on their service a bit. 4/5 #larkspur #marin #mexicanfood #mexicancuisine #authenticmexican #gordita #huarache #aguafresca read more

The most disgusting chicken tacos I have ever encounter. ( see photos ) First of all they do not follow Proper COVID prevention. All tables were dirty. There was a guy that looked like an employee eating. He directed me inside for someone to clean the tables. A guy came with a dirty rag and started cleaning the tables spreading the dirt all over the table. Then came the two chicken tacos so gross. When I complained to the woman and the guy both Hispanics, they started arguing with me like I was crazy. They refunded one of the tacos reluctantly not the other one because I nibble on the corn tortilla and kept their tip. I would stay as far as possible from that place and the health department should pay it a visit. read more

I really don't understand why the main cashier man is so rude every time I've been in. I always say hello, and he seems almost cordial at first, but then his attitude ends up coming out anyway. I've been there 3 times now, will probably never go back. Food is mediocre and service is horrible. Food quality isn't that great either. If you want great food, great service, go to Taqueria Bahia. read more

This is my first visit to this place. I ordered burrito with steak for my son. I have never seen so terrible burrito. There were only traces of meat in burrito, the rest was rice and beans. I don't understand how this place can stay in business when there are much better options. I felt very deceived and will never come back again. read more

This is one of the best and most interesting Mexican restaurants in the Bay Area, surprisingly located in the very posh and upscale Marin Country Mart. Authentic huaraches that are amazing with the Costilla (rib meat) a lovely sopa azteca, and bomb tacos for $5. Super reasonably priced, lovely outdoor seating and never too busy. Check it out :) I don't mind hyping it because there is plenty of seating and they deserve to be well known like Sol Food down the road in San Rafael (yes I know that's Puerto Rican but similar in the depth and authenticity of the menu, and also nice colorful ambiance. read more
