    Burnt Nachos -
    Neil T.

    Terrible Experience at Huffman Taco King, first of all the nachos i had, was a very small portion, maybe a layer of chips, and than the chips were burnt to a crisp, nasty! The chimichanga had a 2" bone in it! Could have choked on that. This place has gone down hill over the past few years, prices have gone sky high and the service? Well each time I put a tip in the bowl, they see it, but never a "thank you" or "gracias". unappreciative. When I called to complain about my order tonight, the guy was like "oh" "ok". Didn't even apologize. You think I'm going back here?

    As soon as I walked in to this Taco King, I was immediately hit with a scent of 'clean!' Off to a great start! The employees were extremely hospitable and friendly. They actually seemed genuinely happy to have guests coming in. That was refreshing and appreciated! The guy in the kitchen even called everyone "amigo" as if we were friends visiting his home. Our food came out extremely fast, and man oh man... when I tell you how good this food was!! The meat was moist and packed full of flavor as well as the beans, rice, and salsa. Great restaurant!!

    SOPE. Get this.

    We needed a quick, fast and light lunch. This place in a little strip mall fit the bill perfectly. FINALLY - what I ordered was voted best of the table. Whenever I see a "sope" on a Mexican menu - I generally get it. This one was freshly fried - more crispy than the ones I usually get, and I topped it with Carnitas - which were surprisingly a little spicy. A perfect light lunch. Hubs got 2 soft tacos, a carne aside and a chili colorado I think. But what I thought looked delicious was the gringo tacos someone else ordered. (just basic taco bell style but better shells) The menu above the counter is a little scattered and a bit difficult to navigate, everyone wondered where the "sope" was listed on the menu - Hint, it is on the far right! Service was fast and efficient. Good selection of fountain sodas.

    Ordered extra sauces.

    These guys work super hard. First time trying this location. They are super friendly. And the place is clean. And smells super good right when you walk in. I ordered a lot so we can have leftovers. Went home and had a super yummy meal. Thanks guys!

    This is simply a great Mexican restaurant. We stopped by the other day after having not been here for a while. And wow, were we missing out. I opted for the carnitas special while the SO got two cheese enchiladas. Quick sidebar: one thing that should be noted is just how awesome their salsa bar is. The pico de gallo is arguably the greatest choice due to its simplicity. Don't skip out on the pickled jalapenos though. While a bit on the lean side, the carnitas packed a ton of flavor. Accented with a helping of raw onions, cilantro and a squeeze of lime, it's easy to see why Mexican food is one of the world's greatest cuisines. It certainly helps that the majority of these dishes are laden with cheese. With the nachos, it's clear they freshly fry their own chips. And I cannot emphasize enough just how richly flavorful everything was. I'm definitely throwing this up on my list of favorite places to eat in Anchorage (the list is very small).

    Just as delicious as the other two Taco kings in town. They were super packed which is always a good sign and they had a great flow to get out the food fast. If you eat in they will bring the food to you which is awesome. We ordered a deluxe burrito, chimichanga and two tacos and they were the best. I love the chicken burritos and get it every time I come. The chimichanga outer shell was so crispy and tasty I wish I could eat (and have room for) both the burrito and chimichanga. My son has never had fried ice cream and we've never tried the fried tortilla with cinnamon sugar and honey so I ordered both. They were so delicious we will be back to have all of the same things very soon. Not bad on prices too, about $40 for 3 orders and two desserts. We will be back for sure very soon, it was also a plus the staff was so friendly and happy. Always a good sign when the cooks/cashiers are happy.

    Burrito  deluxe yummy!

    Delicious desserts!! We were in the 5th Ave Mall and stopped by for some sweet treats. The…read morechocolate pecan bar was DELICIOUS! I can't wait to go back for another one. The chocolate chip cookie sandwich was also very yummy. It had chocolate buttercream in between 2 big cookies. Very tasty! We will be back!

    UPDATE: Well, folks…read morewe have heard back from the bakery's "Will M" who takes NO responsibility for the unusual and unheard of practice of hiding plastic straws in the cake and covering it with frosting. Has anyone ever bought an 8-inch cake with 3 thin cake layers and found plastic straws imbedded in it? Yeah, me neither. Nice try Willie, deflecting from the truth with an attack about how I spoke on the phone with your rude employee Joe who got hysterical about my plans to note this experience on Yelp. I was never angry nor abusive when calling to inform the management about the cake issues. I had zero demands, just a request that a bakery manager or owner return my call --of course no one did. The facts are simple, I live in North Carolina and ordered this cake by phone. I had this small cake delivered by a florist who picked up the cake and delivered it with flowers to my 86 year-old parents, (for Mother's Day) one of whom is wheelchair bound and doesn't leave the house. This was noted at the time of the order and explained to the nice young lady who took the order as to why a florist would be picking up the cake. So how does one photograph transparent pieces of plastic in a cake slice, Willie? The cake was inedible. Periodt. Now, instead of recognizing the situation as an opportunity to repair the situation, keep a customer loyal and repair the bakery's reputation, perhaps even reevaluate or change your weird practice of hiding straws in cakes or even an offer to make good somehow, Willie M. chose to be defense and aggressive. I believe warning people about hidden plastic straws in desserts is exactly why we all read YELP reviews. Seriously, do not waste your time and money ordering anything from the AK cake studio. Not taking accountability for a self-inflicted screw up is a major red flag. Their immense number of negative reviews should have been my first red flag. Oh well. Go elsewhere , folks and enjoy a cake that doesn't require plastic rods to hold it in place. Those plastic straws shred when you cut into the cake leaving plastic particles through out the slices. What a dumb practice. Original post: Weird experience that resulted in throwing out the entire cake! Apparently this bakery inserts plastic straws called "supports" into their cakes to "stabilize" them. These straws are not visible and customers have no way to know these straws are hidden in the cake. My 86 year old parents received this chocolate cake and upon eating it found numerous plastic particles through out their slice. Of course they threw it out! They only let me know yesterday as I mentioned ordering another for my Dad. They were adamant I not use this bakery again. So of course I called the bakery today to describe the issue about a cake I ordered for Mother's Day. I asked to speak with the owner or manager and was told by "Joe" neither was in today. I explained the issue and Joe began a bit of a rant about why they use plastic hidden supports due to instability of the fillings and butter in the cake. I asked if there was anyway a recipient would know of these straws and was told there is a label on the box that say something about "supports." I don't know that any cake customer who would know that supports means plastic clear straws through out the cake and said so. Also told Joe that had I known these invisible cake straws were hidden inside the cake, I would not have ordered from them. I asked him to have the management call me with a plan to rectify this bad experience because my parents threw the cake out after finding plastic particles in their servings. Joe's attitude got hostile when I said if nothing happens I will go on Yelp to warn future customers about these plastic supports. He took that as a threat and said so claiming I was trying to "harm the business." I told him how is it harming the business to warn customers this bakery uses hidden plastic straws in their cakes? Again, these straws are not visible (they are clear plastic, do not protrude above the cake's surface and are fragile enough to be broken when cutting into the cake.) I suggested they not use these straws as any customer would be badly surprised by that practice. Of course he tells me no one has ever complained (to him) about it before. He refused to tell me the first name of any manager or owner! Who does that? He told me he would pass on my message but somehow I really dont think he will. I will update this review should this bakery fix this experience. I cannot believe how unpleasant "Joe" was and how irrational he became. Ugh. Do yourselves a favor and get a better experience and a "stable" cake elsewhere in Anchorage.

    Stopped by because my mother now has me completely addicted--and I can see why…read more I picked up a variety of their tarts along with a chocolate cake filled with raspberry, and everything was absolutely delicious. Each tart had its own unique flavor, perfectly balanced and not too sweet, which made it way too easy to keep reaching for another. The chocolate raspberry cake was a standout--rich, moist, and layered with just the right amount of tartness from the raspberry filling. What really surprised me was how satisfying everything tasted without feeling heavy or overly sweetened--and even better, it didn't spike my blood sugar the way most desserts do. You can tell there's intention behind the ingredients and how everything is made. They also have plenty of other baked goods like cookies, brownies, and more, so there's definitely something for everyone. The staff are friendly, and the bakery itself is so cute--such a welcoming little spot that makes the experience even better. If you're looking for treats that feel a little more thoughtful but still indulgent, this spot is definitely worth checking out.
