We absolutely adore this place. Incredible food, made by wonderfully personable folks. Authentic food with a bistro-y type elevation that's just so so so good. We've been coming to this place for a couple years. Often we forget it's here, and tonight we remembered we live this place and swung in for pozole and flautas (our favorites).... And somehow, this place has gotten EVEN BETTER than any other time we've been. The man behind the counter today, who we haven't seen here before, absolutely knocked it out of the park. He put together a chicken tinga lettuce wrap, but on naan for us that was arguably the best damn thing we've ever had out of there. The tinga was great, the salsa was great, even the freaking crema was great. Excellent. And per usual, our pozole and flautas were killer. We'll be back quite soon! read more

This place is insane! Must go! Our son went to Baylor and he's moving tomorrow, best place to have our last dinner in beloved Waco. He had the torta, amazing, huge, great dipping sauce. We shared the nachos, also amazing. Two lettuce wrapped chicken tacos, and the prized pozole. Incredible meal! Thank you Huaco Eatery, Waco and Baylor! All so special. read more

I recently visited Huaco Eatery and tried the grilled chicken lettuce wrap with yuca fries. The presentation was absolutely beautiful, making the meal feel like a truly elevated dining experience. The chicken was perfectly cooked and well seasoned, while the tomatillo brought a bright, flavorful touch that tied everything together. Every bite had a great balance of flavors, and the yuca fries were the perfect complement to an outstanding meal. read more

Pozole is a must-have! Huaco is located inside Union Hall. They offer an interesting take on Mexican cuisine. Our favorite is the Pozole, hard to come by but can't miss! Its a decadent green pepper based stew with fresh avocadoes, cabbage, and chicken. The broth consistency is just right and has a depth of flavor from various mexican peppers including anjo gụailo, and bell. The portion is quite generous as well for the price. The staff are quick to take your orders with your name assigned and will either do call outs or bring your food to the table if they're not too busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of seating arrangements all throughout Union Hall! Dont fret if you may not find a spot right in front of the food stall (although we've never had a problem with seating before).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Enjoy! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Absolutely amazing lunch inside the Union Hall food hall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Shockingly beautiful quality and presentation. Pozole is one of my favorite dishes and this one is outstanding. Chef Sebas was warm and helpful-- he's obviously very talented as well. The tuna lettuce wrap tacos were so fresh and vibrant. Someone in the reviews said the portions were small, but that was not my experience. I laughed out loud when the chef set a gigantic wooden bowl of pozole down in front of me, big as my head! What a refreshing and special experience in an unexpected place. Worth every penny, better than the last 10 restaurants I've eaten at. ¡Que rico! read more

This place is in a good court mall but seriously it's some of the best Mexican food I've eaten. The cook sometimes is running this place by himself but he serves beautifully placed food. Plus not only does it look good it tastes great. The chips r homemade. The queso is full of fresh herbs. My husband had the beef empanadas served with rice and beans. I had a bowl of posole. Everything was so fresh tasting and cooked there, not from a can. Service was very accommodating and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a food court so there is lots of noice, music and other eateries but the tables were clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restroom was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hands down this place serves great Mexican food. read more

The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious, and the staff were so kind and friendly, giving my 3 year old niece and nephew watermelon on a stick and nachos while we waited for our food to arrive. We will absolutely be back! read more

Huaco Eatery - Pozole - Mexican Near Me - Waco, Texas

Extremely rude cook. Didn't get what I ordered either. I asked when my food would be ready because they don't text your phone number or give you an estimate and he started going on a rampage about how "this isn't McDonald's and they don't have all the supplies etc." had I been aware of them being out of supplies I would not have ordered, but they did not let me know that until after I paid. He then continued to not answer my question about the estimated time and instead continued to yell about random things that didn't answer or acknowledge my original question of when my food should be ready The cashier was the most positive part of the whole experience. read more

DELICIOUS! Highly recommend stopping by and getting some amazing food here. The owner is fantastic and so nice and made our food super quick. My friend and I both got bowls and shared chips and salsa. I would get both again! The chips were thick and nicely seasoned and the bowl was filled with lots of good surprises (strawberries, pickled onion, sour cream, guacamole, etc.) read more

Huaco Eatery - Churros - Mexican Near Me - Waco, Texas

Holy cow, this was probably one of my top 5 favorite meals of all time, and that's saying a lot. I got the nachos with ground beef, and my mother got the flautas with flour tortillas. The food was very fresh, flavorful, and tasted homemade in the best way possible. We got our food within 5 minutes, it was very easy to order, the chef was hospitable, and when we said we had never been he gave us free homemade chips and sauce which was also incredible! The presentation was also very nice and better than I have seen anywhere else. 10/10! I am planning to come back from out of state in the summer so it is definitely worth it. read more

The BEST gem at Union Hall! I often visit this restaurant when visiting Waco and crave it when I'm not in town. The food is fresh, authentic Mexican and displayed beautifully. It tastes even better than it looks - and you can taste each flavor, which makes for an impressive dining experience. Don't let the location fool you - It's a beautiful presentation from the booth, to each plate, to the impeccable service. This could easily be a stand alone restaurant. We'll definitely be back! read more

Located conveniently in Union Hall, the ambiance is that of a community hall with many options to choose from. The staff is incredibly welcoming and interested in who their customers are. In other words, they care about who you are and enjoy conversation (if you're open to it). Upon expressing interest, they offer samples of their different Aqua Frescas. The mango is tasty! While I regretted not going for the Pazole, the torta was enjoyable. Staff recommended the steak over the chicken tinga (with no difference in price). After overhearing that I monitor my blood sugar, the woman grilling up my torta volunteered to cut out some of the bread in support of me. Such a sweet touch! Unexpected! read more

It was neat to see so many different food options in one place--very convenient. However, for the price I paid for the rainbow sushi roll, the quality was disappointing. The fish wasn't fresh or properly chilled, which was concerning. On a positive note, the jalapeño margarita was excellent--I'd definitely come back just for that. read more

EAT HERE IMMEDIATELY!!! No, seriously. Stop reading and drive here now! :) Sebastian is seriously talented and needs to win a Michelin star for his incredible, delicious, flavorful, beautifully presented and creative food! He's also hysterical on top of it. "Oh my gato!" :) I had two lettuce wrap tacos: ahi tuna and grilled shrimp. I cannot believe how much flavor was packed into these. My husband had pollo flautas. They both came with a watermelon slice, covered in a cinnamon sugar. And the green pozole sauce! Chef's kiss! We couldn't stop talking about how incredible the food was. And... the presentation also deserves a standing ovation. Definitely unexpected for a food hall. THANK YOU, SEBASTIAN!!! I hope you get discovered by Michelin or James Beard! read more
