    Huarache de chicharron
    Jazmin R.

    This place is tucked into a small strip mall that could easily be missed from the street. When you walk in, it definitely gives you authentic taqueria vibes. There's some neat art on the wall and a display of Mexican candy/treats in the front of the restaurant. I ordered a chicharron huarache which was perfectly made with warm beans inside the corn masa and topped with chircharron in a salsa verde and lettuce/cheese. So good! My dad had the chicken huarache and then ended up ordering a second because of how much he liked it. Service was attentive. One thing I did notice is that they could try to sweep between customers because there were leftover crumbs from previous tables all over the place, while the actual table tops were clean. Overall, would definitely come back for another huarache!

    Chips And Salsa. Spicy salsa.

    I have to say we were pleasantly surprised by Los Huaraches. We stopped here on a whim while craving Tacos. This is not a fancy place and it's location, nestled In a small strip mall, can be easily missed. But finding this gem is well worth it. We arrived after 6 PM on a Sunday evening. There are about seven tables and only two were taken. As we watched, they do a lot of take out business. Football (soccer) was playing on the television. And the few people there were with their children. Ordering was hard. It all looked so good. We ended up ordering much more than we could eat so we could sample as much as we could. Chips and Salsa: the salsa (red) was excellent. It was fresh and somewhat spicy. Guacamole: Avocados are expensive right now. It's difficult to know what you're getting when the menu says "market price." You can get a 4 ounce or an 8 ounce order. We opted for the small. They served more chips with it. It was very fresh. There was very little onions or tomatoes. We could see and taste the cilantro. Mostly, it was fresh avocado that tasted great. Tamales: some one told us we had to try these. There was one pork tamale in red sauce, and a chicken tamale in green sauce. We've had a hard finding good tamales in the area. We'll, we found them. Taco and Tostada dinners: we each had one. They come with refried beans and rice. I had one Al pastor taco and a Carne Asada tostada. Kerrie had an Al Pastor taco and an Avocado tostada. They use double corn tortillas for the tacos. The base for the tostada was crisp and flaky. The flakiness was a nice touch. This rounded out our meal, after which we rolled out the door. For the quality of the food, the friendliness of the staff, and the ambiance, I give my highest rating and a strong recommendation for anyone who enjoys good Mexican street food to try it out.

    Carne asada tacos on the left and right. Flank steak tacos in the middle

    This is one of the few Mexican restaurants in Prospect Heights and it does not make my list of good taco restaurants. I ordered carne asada tacos and a flank steak tacos and the tacos were not very filled, flavorful, or juicy. The most difficult taco to eat was the flank steak taco. It was dry and lacked beef flavor. I wouldn't recommend that one. For $3 each, none of the tacos were worth it to me. I want to give them another try, but my first impression of the everything was just not great. Maybe another day in the future...?

    The food is amazing. We travel for the huaraches alone, but the enchiladas are great, salsas are beyond good. Take cash to leave a tip, but otherwise worth the trip.

    9.50 lengua burrito
    Jose C.

    I was not a big fan of this place. I came for lunch and ordered a burrito with lengua. Most places will allow you to substitute their tomatoes and lettuce for rice without a charge, this place decides to charge without even letting you know their going to charge more. The burrito itself wasn't bad but I will most definitely not be returning. To be very honest, I don't think I should ever be paying more at a Mexican place than a burrito from Chipotle. $9.50 is just way to much for a burrito. The waitress was also eating her food in the back but still visible while she can watch the front entrance. And I want to believe it was the owner who just sat behind the counter where the register is just charging the customers. Whenever a customer would walk on, he would just stare at the waitress. Completely unprofessional and that is not how business is supposed to be run.

    Torta de milanesa

    The service was fast! The chips were hot and the sauce they provided as a dip was great! I ordered 1 asada and 1 chorizo taco. The asada was a 10/10 The chorizo a 9/10 in my opinion it was just a little too greasy, but was good! The green sauce was the spiciest in compares to the red. My husband ordered the burrito suizo with mole the mole was sweet. He loved it so much he finished it! The torta de milanesa was a 9/10 The meat was a bit hard to pull apart, but the bread was nice and crispy and warm and it had avocado and had jalapeños on the side for an extra kick!

    Pork tostada so good!

    Delicious, authentic Mexican food! Very good customer service. I had the pork tostada and chicken tinga taco. Both hit the spot! Highly recommend!

    Had steak taco and avacado tostada. Both were excellent. Small space inside, but food is fresh and good. We will return to this spot.

    Food is decent, service is slow. I walked in and ordered tacos and a burrito to-go...took 25 minutes before it was ready.

    The torta cubana is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Big enough for 2 people.

    Great food and reasonably priced. Lunch can get a little slow and there isn't a whole lot of room inside. Recommend the salsa's!

    Eataco hit the spot when we rolled in with four hungry kids and a strong craving for nachos. I…read moreoriginally picked the place based on pictures of their nachos online, and they did not disappoint. The presentation was spot on, and every layer was generously coated with toppings. The only minor drawback was that the added protein felt a bit sparse, so I would likely skip paying extra for that on the next visit. As for the kids, they completely devoured the chicken quesadillas before I even got a chance to try a bite, which is a ringing endorsement in itself. The tacos here diverge from traditional street tacos. Instead of a light balance, they pack in a much higher meat-to-topping ratio. We tried the barbacoa and chicken tinga, both of which were expertly prepared and packed with rich, delicious flavor. However, because they are so heavily loaded and juicy, the tortillas simply could not maintain structural integrity. It was impossible to pick them up and eat them like standard tacos, but attacking them with a fork solved the problem easily enough. A special shoutout goes to the house-made salsas. Both the red and green options were outstanding and elevated every bite. Overall, the atmosphere and quality land right in that sweet spot--an upgraded, elevated step above a chain like Chipotle, while still being more casual than a sit-down, traditional Mexican restaurant. Paired with exceptionally friendly staff service, it was a great experience and a spot we would happily return to. Great outdoor seating.

    I am very disappointed because on my most recent visit here, I found out that many of the items I…read morehad previously been told are vegan are truly NOT vegan due to their shared fryer. See my attached photo for the garden tacos (which one is vegan, which one can be made vegan, and the others that are not vegan) Sadly, I will not be returning.
