This used to be my go-to for Mexican food in Byram prior to the pandemic! Located in a strip off…read morethe Main Street, you really would not know it was there. This was literally my first visit back since the pandemic and I was a little excited to go, especially since it was Cinco De Mayo. We were a party of 4 and sadly the service wasn't good. We placed our order well before some larger parties and others who came after us and after watching them get their food, we asked about ours. Our server never came back out of the kitchen until much later but we did finally get our food. They did apologize but never said what the issue was. Despite the issue with service, our food was good. I ordered the spinach enchilada Suizas which had a spicy kick to them. I liked them. Would have loved them if it wasn't for that extra kick. The spinach was also not wilted as it is when I've ordered this dish from other restaurants. The drinks were ok too. Nothing to get excited about but I'm willing to bet they were just a little watered down due to the special day. I am going back because it's a local spot that I've enjoyed in the past.

Salsa tasted like ketchup and was apparently puréed. Not a solid chip to be found. Guess we got the crumbs in the bottom. Got the Pollo Fundido. Lot of peppers and onions but very little chicken. Just terrible all the way round. Even the side salad was just a lot of bell pepper and a few pieces of lettuce. I will say the place was clean and the service was okay.

The smell of grilled meat and warm tortillas hits before you even sit down, and it sets the stage perfectly. I started with tacos, of course. The tortillas were the kind you can tell are made fresh: soft, warm, and sturdy enough to hold everything together without falling apart. I went for al pastor and birria, and both came out packed with flavor. The pastor had that perfect balance of char and spice, while the birria was rich and comforting, dripping just enough to make you lean in over the plate. The real surprise was how much attention went into the small details. The salsas had actual heat, not just color, and they didn't drown out the flavor of the meat. The pineapple agua fresca I ordered on the side was bright and refreshing, a perfect balance to the heaviness of the tacos. Service felt easy and genuine. Nobody was rushing me, nobody was going through the motions, it just had that friendly, neighborhood vibe where you feel like they're glad you stopped in. By the time I finished, I realized Juarez isn't trying to be flashy or reinvent the wheel. They're just serving honest, flavorful food that feels like it belongs exactly where it is. It's the kind of place you think about the next day, when you're already planning what you'll order on your next visit.

I wanted to try something new, so the waitress recommended the beef tongue, cheek, and head tacos. They were okay, but a bit lacking in the flavor department for my taste. Unfortunately, no beer was served at this time due to a licensing issue, I was told. I hope they got that fixed . Maybe I'll stop by to grab a beer and some other tacos one day.

Ooohwee! Probably my new favorite Mexican spot in Pearl! I ordered Menudo which is a spicy tripe…read moresoup, he got the steak fajita chimichanga with cheese sauce, we LOVE the more traditional cuts of meats like tripa, cachete, Suadero etc so we ordered 5 different tacos to share, and because our eyes are bigger than our stomachs we also got the Gordita asada. Tripe in the menudo was thick cut which I thoroughly enjoyed, it was extremely tender and they even had tendon which I haven't seen in many menudos here.. Flavor was very mild though, but the great thing is you can always add more to your menudo, I love a ton of hot salsa/hot sauce, lime, cilantro and onions in mine. The chimichanga had a ton of steak and cheese sauce, so if you love your meat and cheese they give you plenty. Tacos were fire! Those home made tortillas were to die for!! I'm a hot sauce salsa kinda gal and I didn't need any of it. The tacos were topped with cilantro, onions and grilled onions as well. ...Now the star of it all, yallllllll go get you some gorditas!! My goodness, MY GOODNESS those were the best gorditas I've had in a while. The masa was so delicious, hot off of the presser, he doesn't like gorditas but ate most of mine!

Can't believe I am the first one doing a review on Taqueria Hernandez?…read more Anywho, actually went to the Pizza Hut across the street one day, and thats when I noticed the Taqueria Hernandez sign and said I would give them a try. Decided to go on a Saturday, around 2 pm. They were steady, not too busy. The staff was nice and courteous, and greeted me upon entrance. Decided to order a Burrito with Asada (Steak) and Pollo (Chicken) with double meat, told them I didn't mind paying extra for both. Positives on the location - it was clean, and I love their condiment bar. My wait time for the burrito was so/so, and I say that considering what I paid for it, what I received portion-wise, and the quality of the wrap. I paid around $16 for the burrito, so I was expecting a nice stuffed burrito that was wrapped tightly. To my dismay, it wasn't. In regards to the wrap, it was comparable to something I would receive from Taco Bell - so that caught me off guard, considering this was supposed to be an authentic taqueria. Back to the positives. Now the taste of the burrito was spot on - the asada and pollo were well seasoned, and the quality of the ingredients was spot on. I just wish there was more bang for my buck for the portion I received, and the wrap of the burrito was better. Ambiance - average considering this is a taqueria-type establishment. So the ambiance is not bad, but no need to dress up in a tuxedo to get some tacos and/or a torta. I will close out on this. We have a lot of cantinas/taqueria that have opened in the Jackson metro area, and that is a great thing. However, I grew up in Chicago and Cleveland, where our taquerias/cantinas make mean burritos, and it appears that many of the cantinas and food trucks down here are not trying to wow us in that regard down here. Not saying I won't go back, but I think there's room for improvement. The taste of the food was phenomenal, I hope they can step their game up in the future. I would give them 3.5 stars - but since yelp only lets you give whole stars, I will give them a solid 3. Taste of the food is excellent, what keeps me from giving 5 stars - the portions for the price.
