After so many years of living in Northridge, I can't believe I'm just now finding out about this spot! Honestly, it's kind of my partner's fault for not putting me on sooner but I guess all good things come late, so I'm not too mad. Huarache Veloz is a hidden, authentic gem for homestyle Mexican cooking. They offer a variety of Guisados, but what I really came for were the huaraches and they did not disappoint. So good! Their agua de Tamarindo is my favorite. Everything is reasonably priced for the portions you get, and the salsas are spot on. Parking can be a bit tricky since the shopping plaza is on the smaller side, so you might have to get lucky to find a spot. Seating is also limited. read more

Great food and the employees are really nice eating in is a little cramped since they only have a couple tables but it's still nice.

My favorite location if I ever want a huarache or their other items pre-made items they have in their buffet. read more

Don't let the outside fool you, it's what on the inside that counts. Claudia is the absolute best! She pours her heart and soul into every plate that's served. The sandwiches are so amazing, you get a thin piece of steak laid across a bed of tortilla bread with beans in the middle. Then you sprinkle the cheese with the green salsa and BOOM. " there it is " One of the best huaraches I have ever tasted. I have been working in the area for a few years now and frequent this place. Please give them a try as your mouth will give you many thanks. read more

Pricy piece of place in the middle of Pacoima. Food is ok, nothing too special but I will go again.... In a year or two Quesadillas

Great food and they expanded way better flow. Seats and space is way better. Especially the food always great tried many dishes now. None have disappointed. read more

This place has very good food at a good price. Some things are made when ordered so expect to have a wait when ordering.

The food is great and fresh made. I normally would've gave it a five star but due to customer service it's horrible!!! I would recommend but just expect these things when you go in haha The lady that's on the register always in a bad mood or has a smart remark to say back to you. Like I had asked nicely if I could get one Salsa verde and she said " ya tiene salsa en tu comida , pero te cobro " . Like are you serious ?? Haha Then there's this you g employee that's usually eating by this table and has this bad starring problem when your making your order or standing on line . I kid you not she stares instead of welcoming you. read more

Chorizó Huarache is something you must try and you will be forever hooked and greatful. Very clean place and nice people.

I have never had something quite like this. I had a job up in this area and my coworker found this place. All around it, the area is completely run down. Lots of apartment complex and motels around, doesn't always make for a nice neighborhood. We came in, its a small establishment. I got the Huarache estillo D.F. with carne asada. It looked like a very simple meal, yet the taste was spectacular. One of the best meals I've ever had in my life. My coworker said its a traditional Mexican meal, I can't believe there aren't more restaurants that serve this type of food. If this restaurant was closer to home or my work I'd definitely be going here often. This restaurant, such a simple small place, simple plating, but everything is absolutely delicious. Looking forward to coming back here if I ever have work to do around here again. read more

El Huarache Veloz - Huaraches estilo D.F. with Carne asada - Mexican Near Me - Sylmar, California

I called in for a burrito to go. I was on my way to work and found this spot. It only has 3 tables so More of a spot to take out. They have food set up like Chinese fast food does. The layout at least, just not as much food out as you would think they should. It's in a little square that doesn't have much else Other than a liquor market. My burrito was $7.25. A bit steep for a hole in the whole Joint. Looks like that at have a buffet for $8.99. My burrito just about that much. I should've had that if I had the time read more

I love this little hidden gem in Sylmar. Everything is so tasty. Mon. Wed. N fridays I order my mom her fAvorite tamales. Since I over did it on the carne Assada taco I have ventured to try about everything. It's so yummey. read more

I don't really know where these people are eating but to be honest it used to be good but know not at all specially with that lady infront has no people skills im not sure if she is the owner the way she claims to be cuz that's what she said last Monday now food gets pretty much tossed at you we could even sit in to eat there was 6 of us and mentioned that due to covid but I don't get it I went to other one on glenoaks and the service is much much better all I can say is that I will not be eating here any time soon she can eat shet read more

Two tacos de asada with their green sauce! That's all you need the portions are really generous so be warned! Did I mention home made tortillas? read more

Leaving this review because I'm disappointed it says they're open on Sunday & they're NOT OPEN ON SUNDAY please update your hours on here so people won't come when it's closed . Heard nothing but great things about this place so hopefully I can come back another time . :( read more

Now I wouldn't say this is the place to go to have a sit down meal, I ALWAYS take out from here. I work just down the street from it so my coworkers and I frequent here. Their huarache is absolutely delicious. The one I usually get is the asada huarache with salsa verde. It fills me up, but I could probably eat 2 of them. The other thing on the menu that I absolutely love is their quesadillas. Now, these aren't your typical quesadillas. These quesadillas are deep fried yuminess in their home made maize dough. My favorite is the cheese and potato one. I'd never imagined potato in a quesadilla, but these are just divine! I love this place and I love how the lady that works there always remembers my name. read more

Great place to get your Huarache fix. If you don't know what a huarache is it's pretty much fried masa with beans inside with your choice of meat or cheese on top coated with a red or green sauce. It's delicious. The fact that it's about a block away from where I work definitely boosts its rating in my book. From what I've seen on the menu the prices aren't too bad and you'll definitely fill up with one of these bad boys. Decor isn't great inside (they may have like 2 or 3 tables max inside) but since I always pick up and take it back to work it doesn't bother me much. read more

Amazing authentic Mexican food. Great service good prices for the portions well served. Always an enjoyable visit with the family and friends read more

My first time to try huaraches and quesadilla and I was really impressed at how fresh the food is. Love it!

Best food in Sylmar! Thank You El Huarache Veloz for having the best tacos of carne asada with handmade tortillas in the valley. I also recommend the huarache de asada with their very special green sauce! Their service is also very quick. I appreciate their hard work. read more

Good, fast food. Have only had their huaraches- I devoured that thing! Red salsa is great! HOWEVER... CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS!!! Lady at counter very rude. I've ordered about 6-7 times, try to be friendly always but when I ask for extra sauce the lady lectured me about the dish already having enough salsa (shouldn't that be up to the customer???) last time I went I asked again for both the red and green salsas, got lectured and the lady picked which salsa I would get (she chose the red for me). Not going back read more

Very good authentic Mexican food. Not enough seating but food prices are reasonable and you get a free drink refill.

I get breakfast here allot when I'm in town on business and my girls eat lunch here all the time. I love the breakfast burrito and have had the quesadillas they are not normal they are deep fried very nice take on it. They speak very little english at the counter read more

The food is really good the staff is alright. It's a small with a few tables. The reason for the 4 stars is because it literally takes forever, like the food is great but I don't think it's worth that kind of wait. read more

We found this place the other day as we were waiting for our customer to load our freight on the truck. This place was amazing! The food tasted great. This was the best authentic Mexican food I have tasted in at least 20 years. The only place that come close is Abuleos in the Dallas TX, area. Anyway, this small mom and pop establishment serves food that wakes up every part of your taste bud pallet. The the corn tortilla--I have never tasted such freshness and flavor--good enough to each by themselves. The pento beans, scrambled eggs, green peppers, onions with some kind of seasoning were just fabulous! I only hope we have an opportunity to visit another one of these restaurants to see if the taste is consistent across all of their restaurants read more

Lover all their food is really good fresh and yummy and they have fast service highly recommend it

A great place to eat, pleasant environment. Even though customers are 99% are Spanish speakers, clerk Betty speaks adequate English to English speaker customers. Huaraches and quesadillas cocidas are very healthy and full of taste. Great portions full of flavor! read more
