Juarez Tacos doesn't look like much from the outside, (it's in an old Chinese restaurant…read morestorefront) but once you step in, the food tells you everything you need to know. 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.

Everything, except for the rice, just had this sort of off flavor about it. Also it was very dark and the lighting inside was harsh with cool tone spot lights shining right in my eyes. The AC was just a huge open duct that blew across the whole room. So the overall atmosphere was not my favorite. The menus seemed dirty too and had a faint smell.

I ordered the chicken fajitas, and they were just bland, barely any seasoning, which is kind of the whole point. But the real issue was the sides. The rice and beans portion was noticeably small, maybe half of what you'd expect at most Mexican restaurants. Even worse, it was served cold, and not just slightly cooled off, but refrigerator cold.

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.

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! I would come back here just for this, it was absolutely 10/10!! I bet their tamales are amazing foo, but those are seasonal so I'm getting me a dozen when they start offering it again. Included a menu for yall.

We both got a margarita. They were way too salty. We didn't like them at all. My friend ordered the crunchy tacos and 6 piece wings. I got the birria burger with fries. She had to send her tacos back because they were not the crunchy ones but just regular corn tortillas. When she got the correct ones, she said they were awesome! She enjoyed the wings too. My burger was really good. The bun was toasted just right and the burger to birria meat ratio was on point. Curly fries were fresh out of the grease. Overall, we enjoyed it. It's a very relaxing spot with good food. I can't wait to go back and try the crunchy tacos next.
