Great food will order from them again and they have great customer service I love there burritos.

Very nice atmosphere sitting in the back patio on a nice day. Service was very fast and the food was excellent. Chips and salsa were included so we definitely left full. The chimichanga is fried to have a very crispy outer shell that maintains its structure. read more

Huaraches Moroleon - Chino - Mexican Near Me - Urbana, Illinois

Big fan of the food here! So many delicious burrito options that we usually get! Just wanted to highlight the Fajita Moroleon Platter, it is the best value here by far and comes with 5 tortillas! Was stuffed with sharing it with two people but probs not enough food for 3 people. The chips in the unlimited chips and salsa are crispy! Horchata was great and not too milky. Small narrow restaurant with limited parking at the corner of an intersection. Heads up that it is hard to fit more than a party of 6 at a table! read more

The food was mid. I had it recommended to me so I ordered a burrito but I was dissatisfied with the meat quality, freshness and variety in the ingredients, and overall quality of my experience. It was average for Champagne and way below average when comparing to authentic Mexican food that I eat in Chicago. read more

I am all for supporting small, diverse owned businesses. I am Mexican American and know authentic Mexican dining. I ordered a chicharrón in green salsa huarache. Before my food was served my waiter - a very nice and courteous young man- brought chips and salsa. Chips were excellent. Warm, crisp and fresh. But the salsa??? Pace makes it better. It's extremely easy to make an authentic salsa. Why serve something so bland and tasteless? The huarache... they basically threw in some chicharrón (very likely from a store bought bag - and kind is sprinkled a little green salsa. Because I was hungry I forced myself to eat as much of the chicharrón as possible. The huarache/tortilla bread could have been better too. Great service, food - not at all. read more

Unexciting food, served in a lively setting. Dishes were under-seasoned and meats were overcooked. We ordered enchiladas and tacos with chicken, al pastor, and nopales. I don't want to belabor the negatives so I'll give just two examples. 1) The al pastor was tough. It had a modestly peppery flavor but it spent far too long on the griddle. 2) The enchilada's individual ingredients were bland, so the plate relied totally on the sauce for flavor. The red sauce tasted like a ketchup-y barbecue sauce, which was just not very interesting. No one at the table was excited about their meal. The server brought chips and salsa when we first sit down, and they are competent family-style restaurant items. The same was true about the guacamole we ordered as well. The one notable dish was the nopales. They had been marinated with citrus and each bite popped with flavor. Maybe just order a side of nopales to eat with your chips then? The other bright spot is the interior design. The space is brightly painted in a variety of colors. It is a pleasure to sit there! read more

We love this place!!! The tacos are delicious and the service is friendly everytime :) i would also recommend getting the spicy green & red salsas on the side, they're a game changer read more

Love this place! The interior dining room is very colorful and fun, and I've also sat outside on the patio, which is lovely. Most recently, I brought my parents and we ordered a burrito, taco dinner, and fajita loca. I got the fajitas and you can pick up to 3 meats to include, yum. All of the dinners were huge, and the food was all hot and fresh. Parking was a little sparse, but it's like my fave Mexican place! read more

Ate there last night and it was amazing. Real Mexican flavors and spices. Will go every time I'm in Illinois.

Mostly Bland food (I would not expect this from a Mexican place) - fine service - average ambiance. We ordered the below Taco Bell Dinner - 2/5 Enchiladas - 2/5 Spicy Fajitas - 4/5 Spicy Margarita - 5/5 Mimosa - 2/5 read more

I am kinda disappointed about how the flavors in the food went down hill. I used to go with my father a lot to this location and I remember it having a very nice flavor, I've been telling my significant other that he should try it so we recently went in and first impression not so good with the chips and salsa, especially the hot sauce which was very bland and had a taste of ketchup first bite in, the carne asada is very chewy, huaraches are very very bland on the flavor as for beverages I think they could to better on the horchata and a bit more flavor on the dishes. My main point in this review is that i wouldn't recommend it at all it is not money worth. read more

Thank Goodness for yelp. This was a winner. Headed home from Casey, Il my kiddo and I were hungry. Since we were in unfamiliar territory I hit up trusty yelp and was not disappointed. The quesabirrira tacos were fire. I'm so glad I opted to ask the waitress what she suggests. She definitely steered me in the right direction. It was a Thursday night and place was packed. There was a group waiting for a table. So that alone should tell you it's good. read more

Amazing food. Best chips and also. Their chips are my absolute favorite of any place.

We stopped in the other night and the food was amazing. We got the three enchiladas and some tacos. I loved getting to try different sauces in one go. I don't think I could choose a favorite. The patio was lovely. We got lucky, the weather was perfect. I also had a spicy margarita and it was delicious. Our server was great as well. He got us taken care of quickly. read more

What an amazing treat to find this neighborhood treasure! I'd never had a Huaraches before but am now a fan! Schweety chose his usual carne asada and end his mammoth plate of food as well. After a long day of traveling, the immediate service of chips and four salsas with large margaritas was immensely appreciated read more

Huaraches Moroleon is probably my go to Mexican restaurant right now. I ordered my go-to tacos: lengua, cabeza, al pastor. Al pastor had great flavor, and cabeza and lengua were tender. I just wish they had homemade tortillas. Chips they fry in house and salsa they make from scratch. Guacamole had more of a creamy texture, but yummy nonetheless. Huarache was made differently, as it's usually served like an oval tortilla flatbread and not like a quesadilla. Despite the presentation, it was tasty. Will be back again! read more

Since I've only been there once (today, on the way home from voting) I'll only go with 4 stars. This place was recommended by a co-worker. The fact that a crew of hispanics from the company that recently roofed our house (they had work jackets on) were here indicate that we are getting the right stuff. The house-made chips were warm with 4 tasty salsas. One looked like salad dressing but had a smoky heat. The chipotle sauce was good but pretty hot (& I like it hot). I went for Huarache. It came on a plate sized handmade tortilla, a tad on the thick size which I don't mind since I make my own tortillas & sometimes they are a bit thick. My spousal unit had a burrito enchalada which is just a Flintstone sized burrito dressed with a red sauce. We also got a side of Mexican rice which was good. The food is good & a good value.

The salsa was fresh and the plate was delicious. We ordered 'Mini-quesideas' and 'Huevos Rancheros'. Everything was as good as we expected and the service was rapid and complete. The prices, moderate. It was a delicious meal. read more

I am all about supporting minority owned businesses and love me some Mexican food. The review is average solely because of the food. We came to this place when we dropped off my sister at school and the entire family, 8 of us, where looking for some comfort food and this place had great reviews and a patio for Social distancing. Service was great. Location is great too. Only a short 10 min or so drive from the campus. Their patio is spaced out and covered; however, as my 8 yr old nephew said "food is decent, but you can't concentrate on eating with the flies around you". Most of us were surprised with the huarache because we were expecting them to be made of corn, not some type of flour. My mom even said it tasted like gelatine. Perhaps we're being too critical because we're Mexican, but I haven't heard these many comments from my family about food. Usually, we eat, it's good and we go on with our day. I do wonder if all the other reviews with high marks are made by folks who really haven't experienced Mexican food like I have my entire life. There's a hole in the wall place in Chicago who has really put my standards high when it comes to huaraches. Hey, if you love this place, I'm sure I won't change your mind. Just my humble opinion on your average Mexican food restaurant. read more

Food was great, as close to authentic as you can get in Champaign, could tell the tortillas were fresh and the entire restaurant had a very cool ambiance seemed like it would be a good experience from the start. Service is fine nothing crazy but you get what you need from them, and the starter chips are delicious. Overall will be coming back. read more

Great Mexican Food Restaurant, I ordered a Poblano Omelette and it was just awesome! The service is first class, the waiter was at all times available and very polite. It is the typical Mexican atmosphere with bright colors and just the perfect music volume.

Huaraches Moroleon - The inside of the Restaurant! - Mexican Near Me - Urbana, Illinois

My child and roommate were looking for some good Mexican food. Heard of this place and was excited for them to get it, since they were missing it. We went for breakfast and as soon as the salsa arrived, we knew it was not good. It was jarred salsa. Then the breakfast burrito was really small and had some red salsa that was just sour and bland. I ordered the huevos divorciados which have green and red salsa and both salsas were not good and just plain bland. The huaraches are typically large, not sure, but these were small and doughy. Mass seemed raw. Unfortunately, we didn't find that hole in the wall authentic Mexican restaurant we were excited to eat at. Will have to keep on looking, but this was such a disappointment. Felt so bad for the boys! read more

I know people love this place, and I have tried it a handful of times. It just really has never been very good to me and the service is almost always lacking. The chips are always excessively greasy, the cheese sauce on my burrito was cold, and the sprinkle of rice on my plate was kind of small (how it is shown in the picture is how it was received before I ate). I struggled on 2 vs 3 stars. read more

This is a hidden gem for authentic Mexican food. Not a lot of seating, but great food and service. My wife and I stopped on a Sunday night and got a table right away. House made chips and flavorful red salsa were brought to the table. They had many margaritas and beers, as well as horchata. My wife ordered a fish taco plate that came with rice and beans. She asked for black beans, it was all amazing and fresh. She really liked the creamy chipotle sauce on top. We ordered spicy guacamole for the table and asked for some verde salsa. Both were awesome. I ordered three enchiladas, one red, one green, and one cheese with pastor, chorizo, and barbacoa. I wanted to try a variety, and they were all awesome, barbacoa was my favorite. This plate also came with rice and beans. Our server was very nice and helpful! We will be back. read more

I really wanted to like this place because it's on my way home from work , I pass by this place every day and decided to stop in tonight . The service was fast , but the food was not good . I couldn't eat it. I ordered a carne asada burrito and it was so fatty and greasy and tasted like seafood. Apparently they are not cleaning the grill properly. Steak shouldn't taste like fish , wow just wow! The manager is obviously not doing their job of quality control. If you don't know any better about delicioso comida de mexicana then this restaurant can fool ya. I on the other hand , will not be back . Unacceptable and gross. read more

I can't imagine how this place got above a 3. Clearly I ordered the wrong thing. California burrito with steak. The blandest Mexican I've ever had. Zero flavor. The Queso dip came out and it was nothing more than heavy cream in a flat bowl. Would even stick to the chips. San had chimi, also bland. Wife had suizas and she said they were okay but not great. Chilis is more authentic. read more

In a city with no shortage of excellent Mexican restaurants, Huaraches Moroleon manages to stand out. There are so many places that provide generic, bland Mexican food (e.g., El Toro, Dos Reales, Hacienda Agave) that it's refreshing to find a place that really delivers. Highlights for me: the spicy fajitas come with jalapenos and some genuinely hot chilis, the salsas (complimentary, upon request) are outstanding, and the service is always friendly and efficient. My wife is partial to the tripas tacos, and if you want other meats less common to the standard American diet, they have them here. You can spend a lot more and get a lot less elsewhere (again, El Toro). Plus, it has a cool hole-in-the-wall feeling as a neighborhood restaurant, well off the beaten path, with a small dining room. It takes a little effort to drive there (unless you're in East Urbana), but it's always worth the effort. Highly recommended. read more

Great cheap Mexican place! They've recently revamped the menu. I got the Pollo rl Jefito which was a roasted and fried half chicken (all dark) with a grilled jalapeño, Nopales, a rice bean and veggie mix, and condiments. It was so good!! We are also a fan of their spicy margaritas! read more

Giving this place three stars because the chips, salsa, and guacamole were very good, as was the service. My three tacos were disappointing: Chicken was bland. Did not like the flavor of the al pastor at all. The barbacoa was tender but not well-seasoned - pretty much a pot roast taco. They all needed to have salsa poured on them to have much flavor. Maybe tacos are not the best thing to order here? Probably won't be back. read more
