Something that is bothering me and it isnt their fault. Its yelp and other delivery services. When I go to the restaurant my delivery is $18.89, when I order through yelp for delivery it is $25.23, when I use DDash it is $24.29. When I go to the restaurant the drinks are $3.50 when I use either on of the apps the drink is $8.50. What happened, because the drink didnt get any bigger or more special. Anyway people check the prices because it is more worth it to go get the food. These companies are scamming. read more

One good thing is they open 24/7. I just get my regular carne asada burrito. They originally doesn't come with rice so it's perfect for me. Service was good and outdoor eating area was clean. The meat is not the best, it tasted more like roasted meat than grilled or cooked on griddle. Without the time convenient, I would rate them 3 stars. read more

Edit: Initially I gave it a 5 but after eating the second burrito it was so badly rolled everything fell apart. Usually falling apart is a sign of an authentic burrito but in this case it wasn't enjoyable. The bites were uneven. More beans than pastor. Just not good. Best burrito is the street vendor at the end of 28th across from Starbucks right next to the atm. The sauces are more fresh. You can taste the love. So I gotta downgrade this spot to a 2. read more

Great burritos! This was my second time visiting, first one was quite a few years ago. We had the fajita burrito and chile relleno burrito. Both came out within 3 minutes of ordering and were piping hot. The burritos were a very good size. The red salsa with the burritos was hot and had a great flavor. I especially enjoyed the pico inside the burrito. Nice, clean sitting areas, even late at night. This is a very good spot for some quick mexican food. read more

Ordered a chile relleno burrito and they gave me regular asada burrito a With a tiny chili a rudely turned me down when I asked for new one read more

The burritos (carne asada and chile relleno) were dripping all over the place and didn't taste as good as others I've tried elsewhere. Tasted like there was more pico de gallo than beans or actual asada/chile relleno which made the food taste sweet overall, instead of savory. I wanted to like it but sadly, I wouldn't come back. I did really enjoy the horchata though! read more

I ended up at El Huero on one of those cold misty LA evenings where it feels like the universe is giving you a complimentary facial and every outdoor chair is just moist enough to make you question your life choices. We wiped ours down and honestly it didn't even matter because the vibe here is immaculate. The lady working the front was incredibly sweet, the kind of person who makes you feel like you're about to eat something special. She set the tone for the whole experience. Now let's talk tacos. Los Angeles has officially decided that five dollars for a taco is the new normal and I've stopped resisting because the tacos at El Huero make it easier to accept my financial destiny. They were genuinely great, the kind of greasy deliciousness that makes you forget you said you were going to start eating "lighter." I can't complain about them at all. The agua fresca was not perfect, but the tacos carried the entire meal on their back. We only tried the tacos so I can't speak on the rest of the menu, but judging by the crowd, this place is clearly doing everything right. There were USC students everywhere, and plenty of people who weren't Latino absolutely devouring their food with enthusiasm, which honestly tells you its own story. If you can stay busy near USC with a mixed crowd like that, the food is legit. The wait was totally fine, but it is one of those places where you have to stay alert because they call your order like a low-key mission briefing. It adds a little adrenaline to the meal. The real win, though, is the parking lot. In LA, finding parking is usually a full psychological battle. El Huero actually has a lot and there were spots available because so many people walk in. That alone felt like a blessing. Overall, El Huero has everything going for it. Great tacos, great vibe, super friendly staff, and parking that doesn't make you question your life decisions. I would absolutely come back, and honestly I probably will because once you find a taco spot that makes you forget you paid five dollars for a single tortilla of joy, you don't let it go. read more

In the USC area on Fig. The drive through window is on the passenger side window. The parking lot is small so you have to be careful parking and driving around. It's a Mexican food restaurant but they sell hamburgers also. I ordered a Hamburger Special- a hamburger, fries and a soda for $13.69 which included tax. Not bad. The hamburger was a 7/10, kind of bland. The fries were undercooked and the soda (root beer) was fiat and not strong. I would go there again if I ordered Mexican food. read more

We haven't been here in awhile. Coming down from Bakersfield to visit family this was so embarrassing. I will never eat here nor I would recommend it . The gentleman was nice at the window.This was a waste of food even for them to even serve this to anyone. This is not what it use to be. TRASH read more

I came here because thinking it would still be good as there was a line and plenty of customers dining. I also came because I use to eat here as a child but it was called Chanos at the time. How times have changed. I got a regular burger which almost 10 dollars but I was hungry. The burger was so thin and not the best tasting but they were quick and got my order within 10 min. The parking is limited but they do have a drive thru read more

Great 24hour option for Mexican food by USC or DOWNTOWN LA. Use to be Chano's years ago. Might be a tad better nowadays. Quite often, I get the Signature Burrito with carne asada, al pastor or sometimes chicken. But you can build your burrito here too. Seems like a pretty solid choice at Midnight or 3am since they are open 24 hours. Beef Tacos were pretty good also. They have many vegetarian options on the menu as well. Small parking lot if you want to park and eat at the few tables but the drive thru is my go to. Grab and go is how I roll from here. read more

This place is situated near the Felix Chevrolet & near USC. I got the wet chicken burrito with double rice. The food tastes great, with only outside seating. The knife they give you is so thin & flimsy, you have to ask for a spoon to hold the burrito. They don't have a bathroom for customers to use. In addition, there was an older Latino guy playing his music loud while I was eating my food. A it ghetto if you ask me but overall it was fine. read more

Used to be good, no more. $26 for a chile rellano burrito that had a cold rellano and dried out beans, order of 2 overcooked (burned) taquitos and a medium orange bang. Used to work around the block and often enjoyed this spot. It sucks now read more

Caveat- this is only based on cheese fries: Vegetarian review. Cheese fries were definitely cheesy, but the fries themselves were kind of undercooked. This is not because they were soft from the mountain of cheese- they were in it of themselves slightly underdone. Still good, but not great. The wait is pretty impressive. We sat at the drive-thru for so long without a response that I got out of the car to order at the window. It was a race to order- one person in the drive-thru and one person in line. Over the course of many many minutes, the drive-thru ended up winning. read more

I used to come here in the 90s when it was called 'Chanos'. Happy to report the name change did not change the food. My burrito was exactly the same and just as good as it was 30 years ago! Fresh, simple ingredients, well-prepared, tasty from first bite to last, good red and green sauces on the side. Drive-thru or order at the window and dine on the patio. Strongly recommended. read more

Every time I come here, I always go for the nachos fries. Big enough to share with someone else. Quality never misses.

Food is 4.5 stars! Service is 5+++ stars!! They're always friendly and helpful. I've been going there since the late 1990's and don't have any reason to complain. As far as ambiance, it's South Central adjacent, so you can decide for yourself! read more

Wellllll...it's Sunday, August 24, 2025. What happened El Huero? Did you change Cooks, staff, those who season and prepare the food? Something is OFF. Even the fountain drink machine is not tasting as delicious as it should. My family and I were just VERY disappointed in the taste of the food. What kind of cheese did you change to? I know things can't always be perfect at restaurants. It's hard work. Things happen. The prices are HIGH there. The food Should always taste Delicious read more

We got the Al pastor burrito and all we could taste was onions and beans. Not even sure there was meat on it. And it was so small compared to what we remember. My daughter's carne asada fries were better but barely any meat My other daughter's burger was good. She enjoyed the pickles. read more

I've been coming to Chano's/El Huero since I was at least 16, likely a few years before. I'm about to turn 37, so 21ish years. I've had more hits than misses in terms of food taste and consistency. Even after the new ownership. The taste stayed close much the same. But I've reached my final straw tonight, after having several other complaints before now. My final straw was going there tonight and realizing how much they've recently increased their prices. They have always been a little inflated compared to similar restaurants--- but I wanted a Potato Taco, and they have raised the price (of ALL tacos) to $6.00 each. I've never paid that much for a Potato taco. All of there prices have been streamlined, but drastically increased --- it is NOT worth it. I was so happy to see that there were no lines or drive thru waits, but I think the price hike is why. In addition to my last straw above, let me tell what else has gone downhill... - Customer Service: some of the staff are really great and reasonably friendly, others, not so much. I've never been in a drive thru argument until it happened here recently when the drive thru employee decided to yell and cuss at me because I asked for a manager when he would not allow me to redeem my points for their rewards program. - Rewards: Their rewards are a scam. Once you patronized them enough to get a free item, which is no easy task, the don't allow you to redeem. Sometimes they blame it on the time of day, other times it's "the manager has to approve it and is not here". Wtf? If you're a 24 hour restaurant, you should be able to honor your rewards 24 hours a day. Those are my 3 major complaints, and after the 3rd strike, I'm out. read more

I've been going to El Huero since 2002, when it was Chano's! I was first shown this USC tradition and Staple, by my Uncle, who went to USC. Coming from the Bay Area and the Central Coast, we weren't used to HOMEMADE Tortillas! Every SC game, required a trip to Chano's/El Huero's. The Chorizo Burrito's with Orange Bang were the order, always! Even traveled from Nipomo, CA to El Huero's and back, all for it! This is the hole in the hole in the wall, you search out! This trip, we pulled up to the menu and were greeted nicely. I ordered the Pollo Soft Taco, Orange Bang, and Pollo Burrito, with Rice, Cheese, Guacamole, and Sour Cream. The homemade tortillas were great. Soft, slight grit, fluffy, blanket of love. The Guacamole was slightly tangy/spicy, adding that fatty/acid to cut through the salty, peppery, juicy, grilled chicken. The rice was fluffy and cooked nice with good flavor. All finished by the beautiful taste of a Creamsicle, coming from the Orange Bang! *The chicken quality didn't seem as high as it used to be. It was a little dry and overcooked. That's why 4/5* Pro Tip: The Drive Thru window is on the passenger side, prepare for it haha read more

i loveeee a late night drive through and there's not many near me. this place is affordable and so so so tasty. i personally find the asada fries a little bland, even with the salsa given. I always take it home and put on some cholula and it makes everything so much tastier! will definitely come back! only thing is, the drive thru window is on the passenger side instead of the driver side so it can be kinda difficult to pay. read more
