If it hadn't been for my foodie friend flying in from Tennessee and requesting Huarachis for her birthday lunch, I probably would've still had this place sitting on my "must try" list. But the second she said Huarachis, I was like... YES. Let's go. And wow -- it absolutely hit the spot. First off, the warm flour tortillas and butter they brought to the table instantly took me back to my childhood. Standing patiently by the comal waiting for fresh cemait (tortillas in our native language) while my grandmother had a stick of butter ready to lather them down. But that little extra heat on the tortillas here? It elevated the butter to another level. And I can't leave out the homemade salsas they bring to the table -- each one had its own unique flavor profile with different heat levels to fit whatever mood your tastebuds are in. So good. The creamy beans with cheese and spice paired with the homemade corn tortilla chips were perfection. And the elote? We definitely should've ordered two. My son and I both loved the carne asada tacos -- those alone are worth coming back for. The homemade jamaica was so refreshing. My son said it tasted just like Tata's, which is saying a lot because he only gets that when we visit Tata in Payson. If you're looking for a truly authentic experience that feels like being welcomed into the home of someone who learned to cook with love and tradition passed down through generations, this is the place. Now next on my list: Bacanora. From what I hear, it's incredibly hard to get into -- and it's another concept from James Beard award-winning Chef, Rene Andrade. Hopefully I can actually score a reservation. Just a casual spot to enjoy authentic food. read more

Chef Rene does not miss. I've been here a few times, including the Kino Bay Sundays. This is a legit tasty taco spot. But it's more than tacos. Everything on the menu is a hit so you can't go wrong. The atmosphere and loud and lively, and the staff is what really makes this restaurant great. They're genuinely friendly and just not fake like some places. If you're looking for some late night eats and some awesome drinks, you can't go wrong at Huaraches. Can't wait to go back. Secretly the best thing on the menu: tripas tacos. read more

Lively atmosphere, wonderful service team, and authentic Mexican food!. I enjoyed every part of my dining experience here. The staff was super friendly, sharing history about tortillas and butter something I had never had or heard about. This is the appetizer Nana would make for you on your visit while she gets the rest of the food ready. I loved it. Just like bread and butter but Mexican style! If you get the Carne Asada fries beware...it's a super large portion. This is a shareable entree or have some leftover for later. I didn't try a cocktail this time around...I'm going to have to get a Lyft when I'm ready to do so because they have quite a few intriguing drinks that were calling me. read more

5/5 starting with the warm welcome from the staff. Cecilia (whose name I hope to be spelling correctly) was phenomenal! My guest had 1,000,000,000 + allergies and Cecilia was patient, professional and extremely accommodating. I would have lost my mind. lol! The food was delicious! I had the tacos (potatoes, fish and mushroom) and the sauces on the side were great! The ambiance is quite cute; a reflection of Mexico and Arizona combined. I also had the jicama beverage that was refreshing. Definitely a great stop for a first stop. The three tacos were more filling than I thought they would be, but that's great! Check them out and enjoy! read more

Was on a walk with the girlfriend when we passed this place, and boy oh boy what a hidden treasure we have found. This place exceeded every expectation, I'm completely blown away. For starters, the environment feels so vibey; everything feels so disco punk from the passport menus to the custom stone plates and wall decor. I could spend all day in this restaurant just working and sipping margaritas. Secondly, the most friendly staff in the world. They were so quick to get us seated, cracking jokes with us and making menu recommendations for each of us. I wanted to be friends with everyone there. Finally, the food. As if this place couldn't get any better - probably the single greatest carne asada taco I've ever had, and I don't say that lightly. I have a favorite taco spot and I'm pretty loyal to it - this kind of thing is a big deal in Phoenix. But I swear I finished that taco and was considering if I had to change up my go-to spot; the asada tasted so fresh and the tortilla cooked just right. I also tried the Crispy Papa taco but just wasn't a huge fan personally, my girlfriend thought it was great though. All in all, a very easy 5 stars. Huarachis just scored another regular customer, and I'm sure they'll be seeing a lot more of me going forward. read more

I really loved the food here! My coworker has been talking about this place for so long to me so I finally went. And twice in one day lol. I went for lunch and had the vampiro taco with chicharron and a carne asada taco. The tortillas were handmade and were so delicious and the chicharron was so crispy. They put a lot in my 1 taco. I also tried their famous beans but unfortunately it was too spicy for me, but my husband loved them and said they were the perfect amount of spice. When we came back again that night with one of my friends, I ordered the carne asada tacos again and we all shared the concha ice cream sandwich dessert. That was amazing. We also had micheladas and they said their michelada mix is made in house. It was so refreshing and delicious after a long hot day. After that we were pretty much in a food coma. I definitely would go back here again. The only that sucks is the parking. It's basically all paid street parking but that comes with the area it's in. Either way it's totally worth it to eat here. Everything is delicious! read more

Huarachis Taqueria - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is the infamous Bacanora's sister restaurant that opened about two years ago. Their menu is more fast casual and, unlike Bacanora where you almost always need a reservation to get in, you can just walk in and get seated or order takeout on the spot. This restaurant serves Sonoran-style Mexican food. I tried the carne asada taco ($6), which automatically comes on a flour tortilla. They had a DJ playing at 5pm on a Saturday, and the inside of the restaurant was very loud (too loud!) and lively. Upon walking in, it was hard to know who to speak with to place my order. I kind of wandered over to the bar and was eventually helped by someone. The taco itself was okay. It had beans on it, which the menu didn't specify. The carne asada was tender but could have been more flavorful. For $6 plus tax per taco, I likely won't come back for their tacos. I also only liked one of the salsas (the brownish red colored one) that came on the side. Parking is limited and, because the restaurant is situated in front of the Light Rail, you almost always have to park and cross a major street to get to it. They accept ApplePay. read more

I went here on the Saturday before Easter around 6pm. It was packed but didn't take long for me to be seated at the bar. Once sat though, it took about 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge me and provide me with a menu and water. The bartender was very apologetic and it was a little busy, but there was someone else working with him who greeted a couple that sat down next to me after I was seated. Anyway, I ordered the bacanora classic margarita, elote, escebiche, and 3 tacos (fish, carne asada, and pollo). The margarita was ok, nothing special. The elote was good but very wet and the ear of corn was tiny for the $9 cost. The sauce on it was SO GOOD though. Nice and spicy. The tacos were good. The potato one was my favorite. The fish one could have used a sprinkle of salt on the fish after it was fried, but it was still good. The carne asada taco was good and had plenty of meat. My only critique is that the last couple of bites of it were salty. The escebeche was good. I thought it was going to be a tiny side of it since it was only $3, but it was a humongous bowl lol I was able to take some home with me. My salsas didn't come until I was halfway done with my first taco. It comes with 3. 2 of them didn't taste like much (to me) but the green salsa was really good. The place is clean and the music is a bit loud. The bathroom is hidden just past the bar and is tiny. I'd come back. Especially because I want to try their beans. read more

You cannot miss Huarachis Taqueria where the ambiance and vibes are amazing and the food is top tier. Our server recommended we share so we ordered the carnitas plate and this can easily feed 4-5 people. We had a blast here and loved the music and the pink lights feels inviting. Our food came fast and our server was great at making sure we had everything we needed. The ceviche is probably one of the best I have ever had, so fresh! read more

Great experience: Atmosphere: Sat at the bar. Music was fun, with pleasing decor & vibrant music. Food & drink: La La Lengua taco was fantastic. Sometimes lengua is served too wet. Not this one! Hub had the fish taco. Very spicey with a flavor he loved. We enjoyed the spicey potato side dish. We had fancy cocktails, and they were higher priced, but we are willing to pay for quality. These were good. Let's talk the Concha Ice Cream Sandwich! The pan was moist, the ice cream good, and the sprinkles of berry topping gave the feeling of fried ice cream. Do this dessert! Bartenders: They were great, attentive & friendly. They were able to deal with a busy crowd, and still enjoy their job. We will return for the quality & fun vibe! read more

yummy food, good service, VERY cool spot w so much character. came here to celebrate mine and my brothers birthday w a big group of friends and everybody really enjoyed their food. however, the one complaint i seemed to get from everybody was that it was very weird to put all the tacos on one platter and have to figure out whose is whose (we were told before we started ordering that this would be the case tho). i got the lala lengua vampire (AMAZING, the meat was so tender and flavorful), a paloma, and a side of their beans (a must order!!!). i als tried my besties quesadilla which was massive, cheesy, and fantastic! i also finished her strawberry marg which was also great; they definitely know how to make a solidddddd cocktail round here. there were 12 of us and service was still quick and attentive, and they even gifted us a birthday shot! read more

First time. It's small and I went their before the Laker game. I got in right away but the hostess told me my table was reserved at 545pm. This is on a Thursday. I asked the hostess and she suggested the carne asada taco. I also got a quesadilla. The carne asada taco was fabulous. I wish I had ordered three of them. The quesadilla was good and it came with a small container of beans that was spicy and good. read more

My friends and I ate at Huarachis for the first time while celebrating a birthday. We live in the west valley so I made a reservation to be on the safe side. I'm glad we did - it was a Saturday night and the place was pretty full. TOP TIP: look for parking behind the restaurant first. The next closest parking lot was $30 for two hours, which is absurd. Parking behind the restaurant is free but limited and first-come first-serve. The food was all excellent. We started with the Quesadilla and the Tortillas & Butter. The Quesadilla was excellent - super cheesy. The star of the dish is the Frijol Dip however. Delicious with just a hint of heat. The Tortillas and Butter were good, but they aren't kidding when they say 'charred'. They were a tad too chewy and well done for a couple members of our group. For mains the 4 of us shared the Bistec Ranchero. We didn't know if it would be enough food for all of us, so we also got a taco each. It was definitely enough food. The Bistec Ranchero is definitely enough food for 4, especially if you start with a couple apps to share. For tacos the groups favorite was the Lala Lengua. Someone in our party has lived in Mexico and says these are some of the best lengua she's ever had. The Bistec Ranchero was phenomenal. The meat was cooked to perfection. The sides were all delicious. The salsa ranchera is not to be skipped. 10/10. Definitely recommend getting an extra side of escabeche. It was a great palate cleanser and added the perfect acidity to the meal. Do not skip on this place. We will definitely be returning! read more

At first look the place didn't strike me as a particularly delicious place but looks can be deceiving. As soon as we sat we had a waitress that was helpful and got us drinks on a timely manner. The ambiance was decent but nothing to rave about, felt more old school. I and around 5 others shared two of the 28oz steaks as it says it can feed 4 people each, which I would hope so considering they are $100 each. They came with sides and such which I must say were seasoned quite well and pared nicely with the steak, I'd also like to mention that the steak was cooked to order. However, the steak itself was fairly salty and when you pared this with all of the others the salt levels were a bit too high for my liking. read more

For our third meal in Phoenix, we made our way to Huarachis Taqueria, Chef Rene Andrade's latest creation, which opened in December 2023. Think of it as the laid-back, no-reservations sibling to the acclaimed Bacanora - with just as much fire, flavor, and flair. The vibe? Pure energy. Imagine a backyard party fueled by sizzling grills, cumbia and R&B pumping through the speakers, and a menu that pays homage to Sonoran street food. Tacos, huaraches, tortas, and shareable platters fill the room - and the air - with mouthwatering anticipation. With four of us at the table, we went big with the Bistec Ranchero Platter, and it delivered. Nearly two pounds of tender ribeye, grilled to smoky perfection, surrounded by more sides than we knew what to do with. It's the kind of meal that silences a table - until the first bite, when the chorus of "oh wow" begins. If you're hungry and looking for bold, no-holds-barred flavor, this is your move. Our only critique? The volume. The high-energy environment is part of the charm, but be prepared to lean in--or yell across the table - if you want to keep the conversation going. read more

Can you tell Huarachis for lunch, and left very happy. It's near Roosevelt Row right on Central, and we lucked out and found meter parking pretty close. I really love the aesthetic of this place. My favorite color is pastel pink and this place has tons of it. The color scheme of a light sage green and pink is awesome, and the mirror tiles above the bar go perfectly. There are shelves with lots of interesting tchotchkes, and stool seating that looks outside onto the sidewalk. There's a lot of pink neon, and I imagine this place looks pretty cool at night. We ordered: *Jamaica aguas frescas *Chicharron Vampiro *Carne asada taco *Pescado Taco *Frijol dip Everything was absolutely delicious, and I could not stop eating that Frijol Dip, even after I was full. By the time we left, this hip little place was full. All the seats were taken at the bar, and most of the tables were taken. I guess the word is out on how good the food is here! read more

When researching restaurants in Phoenix, Chef Rene Andrade's name kept coming up, so Huarachis Taqueria was at the top of my list! Food - The elote was grilled beautifully with a solid char. It was a bit heavy on the mayo for my taste, but the seasoning was on point. - We ordered huaraches with carne asada, but it turned out we got chicharron instead. It's pretty loaded so we didn't realize until we started cutting into it. That said, it was absolutely delicious. Huaraches were new to me, but I really enjoyed the texture it adds. One easily fed two of us since we wanted to try other things. - The tacos were excellent -- we had the lala lengua and chicharron. The lengua was super tender and flavorful. - The standout: the huarachis beans, which were one of the most flavorful bean dishes I've ever had. I can see why they're famous! It is on the saltier side, suited for those that like salty food. - Also worth noting: I'm not big on cilantro, but their use of it was balanced and didn't overpower anything. Ambiance - A little bit loud and tough to hold a conversation, but it seems like it's designed more for a quick, casual meal or bar-style experience rather than a long, sit-down dinner. Lively, no frills, and bustling. Service - Decent overall. Nothing standout, but nothing negative either -- things moved smoothly. Cost - Just under $60 for two people (we did not order drinks or dessert as we were very full), which felt like a great value considering the portions and quality of the food. Conclusion I visited about a month ago, and I've found myself thinking about this meal. I would definitely visit again if I find myself in Phoenix. read more

Amazing. Delicious. Highly recommend. You think you've had tacos before, but you haven't until you've had them from here. We tried the elote, the side potatoes, carne asada tacos and vamprinos, the mushroom tacos, potato tacos, and the carne asada fries. Every bite was a delight. The spice level was just right and whatever that sauce is that's on the potatoes, straight from heaven. We were too focused on devouring the food. Can't wait to come back! Oh and the server was great! Very attentive. Loved that it was served family style as dishes were served as delivered. It was a little loud so not great for deep conversations.

the service is good. The ambience is not the best, its very pink, but the music is way to loud, you cant hear eachother when talking, dont reccomend bringing kids here. Its also quite busy, and theres always a bunch of people blocking the door making it hard to enter and exit. they have one tiny bathroom, and you cant even tell who works here. The food is overpriced, $8 (excluding tax) for a tortilla with some butter, i can make that at home for cheaper. and the menu is very limited whether its food, or drinks. its only alchohol other than some jarritos which arent even good and the drinks arent cold, though the food did look good, and came out decently fast, it coulda tasted better, huarachis can hit themselves with their huarache. read more

I wish I could give it 3.5 stars. The ambiance was a big issue. It was so loud. There was some sound dampening issues or something, I couldn't hear my husband or the server. I did hear the chopping from the kitchen, but barely heard the music. We got the frijol dip and that was good, a little spicier than expected. We also got the papa, carne asada, and pescado tacos.

Loved Huarachis! Five stars for the mushroom and potato tacos alone. These are my favorite veggie tacos I've had since moving back to AZ, and probably one of my top 5 favorite mushroom tacos ever. Everything we had was so well crafted, thoughtful, and tasty. The quesadilla was good, but the bean dip it came with was great. It was spicy and bold. I could've drank the whole thing. Really loved the Duros. This was my first time trying them, but they were delicious - a perfect bar snack with a spicy salsa. The salsas were all amazing in fact. I do think the escabeche was meh. The portion was huge, but it was like half pickled. The onions, carrots, and jalapeños were solid though. As far as drinks, the house marg was also just okay to me. It was too sweet, but that's definitely my personal preference. The spicy pineapple marg was awesome and much, much better. My friend loved the strawberry mezcal marg as well. Service was good - they didn't crowd us and paced everything well. The staff were all super nice. It is very cute inside, nothing fancy, the vibe fits the menu really well. I can't wait to go back! This is a perfect spot for everything from beer and tacos at the bar to a proper feast featuring one of their platters, which I gotta get next time. read more
