Taqueria El Huarache - Michelada - Mexican Near Me - Merced, California

Plenty of parking outside and an easy to reach location. The burritos are fantastic and the staff is friendly and always welcoming. Any request it seems they are happy to oblige. The inside is a typical Mexican fare appeal with plenty of seating for larger parties. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. This is a great place when in a pinch and is sure to fit the bill in a jiffy. I will definitely be going back. read more

I used to love the bean and cheese burritos from this taqueria, but that was a few years ago. I stopped by tonight for a bean and cheese but it was no bueno. Not sure what happened but something changed. Maybe they put some weird salsa in it because it was spicy. I specifically ordered a bean and cheese burrito for a spice less meal. The service was great. The food was out quick. The ambiance is nice, taqueria decor. read more

I ordered the veggie breakfast burrito. It was supposed to come with grilled veggies, onions, beans, potatoes, cheese and egg. All I got was beans, egg, potato and cheese. Also, the beans looked and tasted like they were leftover from the day before. So disappointed. read more

I got the supreme nacho and it was delicious. The guacamole tasted fresh, and the variety of sauces they offered was very nice. The place was clean with plenty of seating. The prices were also reasonable for the portions. I'd recommend it read more

While I like the ambiance. You really have to be ready for the delicious food. The service is regular and the menu is self explanatory. They have a list of the meats offered. They have a condiment bar for you. It's a must try spot for Taco Tuesday. read more

They had the series one time that were either SIDEWINDER or CRISSCROSS fries with cheese, chili beans, meat & DELICIOUSNESS because it's made with LOVE. Come on everyone knows BROWN people throw it down anywhere in California where we are ONLY judgmental of Mexican Restaurants because we're comparing to our Grammies, Grandmas & Nanas. Sometimes Tatas, sometimes only though. Fun little space that's great for take out or a beer and the service is always amazing. I thought I wrote that already... dunno read more

I love the Veggie Burrito at lunch - it's packed and huge! Tastes fresh and clean. I love that their veggie burrito has beans and rice inside - with lots of avocado, pico, and lettuce. I love the salsa bar, theirs a ton of options - spicy carrots, jalapeños, different salsas, juicy lemon and lime wedges, delicious raddishes, onions - I like stopping and eating inside. The service is excellent, It's a chill spot playing great Spanish music. They make awesome nachos, tortas, and micheladas. read more

Mmmm easily one of the best burritos I have ever had, it even rivals San Diego's burritos. The food is fresh, fragrant and go together quite well. It also had the perfect amount of moisture and crispyness with every bite without the dripping, soggy-inducing oils that make the bottom of the burrito challenging to enjoy. read more

Taqueria El Huarache - Carne Asada Burrito no beans. - Mexican Near Me - Merced, California

Stayed the night in Merced and asked a local for the best Mexican food in town. This place actually wasn't recommended, but the reviews interested me. I'm glad I picked this place! Ordered a grilled chicken super burrito. I was a little concerned about the price, but the concern went away after 1.) they gave a side of chips, 2.) I saw how HUGE the burrito was, and 3.) I tasted how delicious the burrito was, really good flavor. Definitely the largest "super" burrito I have ever seen from a restaurant; I had to save a piece for a snack later. I also liked the thickness and flavor of the tortilla chips. If I'm in Merced again, I'll definitely go back. Try it out! read more

My favorite local restaurant. Legit Mexican food. Cant say enough about it. Breakfast burritos are the best. Tacos and burritos are amazing. They're quick to get your food done whether you dine in or pick up. 10/10 for me. read more

I'm not going to lie I was a little scared eating here at first the outside does not look appealing and the inside is not any better but it was my first time in Merced and was on the search for good food. They had music playing and looked busy music helped to keep me in, the service however was a bit disappointing costumer service does not exist here. Food wasn't too bad I had an asada torta and al pastor taco paid $23 The torta was good bread was warm and soft the meat was a tad bland not much seasoning for my liking but was much better than expected the salsas helped to elevate the taste. Taco was tasty al pastor meat was seasoned nicely it had a kick to it regular size tortilla read more

Ordered the garlic shrimp plate (because they don't offer a shrimp fajita plate???) and was pretty disappointed with both the garlic and shrimp. Garlic was obviously minced garlic from a jar and the taste is just all wrong. There were about 5+ shrimps that were not cleaned/de-veined. That made me not want to eat them and I had to cut off a majority of the shrimp to consume. There were also random big square pieces of onions which I didn't care for. Beans/rice/guac were pretty good. If I dare to go back I will stay away from that dish altogether. Chips were lacking as well; they gave us a maybe 1/4th basket full of hard chips for 2 people to share. Stingy! read more

Worst service I've ever had. Went for taco Tuesday with nobody in the store and I ordered only 6 tacos. People came flocking in and out after me with their food and orders bigger than mine. I waited 30 minutes waiting for my food after going up twice. The second time I went up they had to take my order again because apparently they forgot it. After I finally got my food they didn't even say sorry for the inconvenience or anything, just "here you go". They need to step things up and get somebody other than the guy with the mustache at the front. read more

1-29-2023 I ordered the carnitas plate today. I was not happy with it. The carnitas were hard with a leathery texture. So, I downgraded my review from 5 stars to 4. I will definitely be back. I just won't order the carnitas again. read more

Wasn't happy with the food. The Tacos were very greasy and overall just not good. I Don't think I would come back.

I ordered a Burito it was hella nasty. They put lettuce In it. Was a Burito for an old white person.

Honestly this place is hella good... took a minute to come out to try them but we chose to go for Taco Tuesday and it was worth it! Service was great the cashier we had was nice and attentive which makes the first experience everything!!! We ordered tacos lengua, pastor, buche, and bomb every meat had good flavoring and honestly you can't beat the Taco Tuesday price! Prices were reasonable which is another big plus. Ordered an asada super burrito wet with green salsa and man was that burrito hella big and well made! Had aguas frescas we chose Jamaica and Piña which both were amazing. ...and did I mention the wall art I love seeing the classics Maria Felix and Pedro Infante beautiful representation of our Mexican culture! Definitely will be back! read more

I feel very disrespected by this restaurant. For them to know I would be sitting 2 feet away from the counter and have the audacity to serve me the most expensive and worst tacos I've ever had. The driest asada I've ever had in my life. Mad disrespectful. From the first bite I knew I wasn't fucking with Taqueria El Huarache. 1 star cause I can't do 0 read more

After a night of drinking i was looking forward to a breakfast burrito. I ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and what i got was a damn fries burrito! This burrito had about 2 strips of bacon if that.. barley any egg.. stuffed with an enormous amount of fries.. the chile rojo was bomb af but it could not save the terrible burrito. I was disappointed and will not be getting a burrito from them ever again.. I would rather drive to Pedros in Chowchilla for a fire ass bacon burrito. read more

My usual go-to taco shop. They always give chips and they're pretty fast at making the food. For college students, they give a free drink!!! Tacos are usually so goooddd. Way better than Maria's and Victoria's. Worth the price better than Los Reyes. Restaurant floor could be a bit cleaner. Cashiers are pretty nice and provide good customer service P.s wash your hands and use the bathroom before coming here. There bathroom stinks and oddly has a large ladder. read more

Taqueria El Huarache - One of the best any meat you can think of - Mexican Near Me - Merced, California

This place is pretty good for the most part, it's been better over the past two years as far as the quality of the food. Here's where the two stars comes in, it would have been one, but because the food is good, I'll give it two! CLEANLINESS/SANITATION I just went last night with my family to order food and while we were waiting we were watching the cooks, casually. One of them was on his phone for quite awhile and then proceeded to handle the food without washing his hands, no gloves or nothing. I almost didn't want to eat my food after this. Your cell phone that you hold to your face, that you take into the bathroom with you, that touches hundreds of surfaces a day is one of the most unsanitary things we use daily. Anytime you touch your phone, you should wash before touching tortillas and peoples foods with bare hands! read more

This review is solely for the tacos! First impression is that the restaurant is very clean, which is a huge plus already. The floors and tables were cleaner than other authentic taquerias I've been to. SALSA BAR & CHIPS: - Chips: OMG, SO GOOD. The best tortilla chips ever! They're thick and crispy, but not to the points where it's too hard. They're so perfect I could probably eat 3 basket fulls. The downside is that they charge you for extra chips; from what I remember. - Red salsa: just enough spice and a little chunky, definitely my favorite! - Orange salsa: also good, perfect amount of spicy and a little "creamier". - Green salsa: not the best, it tasted a little bland. TACOS: - Lengua: so tender and flavorful, I can say it's one of the best lengua tacos I've had from a taqueria! Definitely recommend this. - Pastor: good flavor, and paired really well with the red salsa and grilled onions! - Carne Asada: I didn't try this, but my boyfriend did and he said it was good! Can't ever go wrong with carne asada :) - Carnitas: my least favorite of the tacos that I ordered, the meat could be softer and it was a bit too salty for my liking. - Buche: soooo good!!! Chewy and delicious. I can't find that many taquerias that have buche, and El Huarache definitely makes it right! This might just be my new favorite place for tacos in Merced! Another plus is the bathroom is super clean as well, very impressive haha. read more

Mexicana Torta, it looks better than it tastes. The meat had absolutely no flavor. I also ordered a burrito and that freaking thing fell apart, who taught them how to roll a burrito? Or maybe it's because it has nothing but meat and dry rice with absolutely no sauce, or guacamole. I spent $60 on 2 burritos, this torta and some fries and the fries had the most flavor. So disappointed. Waste of money and the $8 tip I left them. If you go here, get the fries. read more

Had a great experience at Taqueria El Huarache. We were driving back from our property in Mariposa to Oakland, a trip we do often. It was late (9:45 pm) and most places were closed. We needed quick food, but not typical "fast food". We looked up taquerias still open to grab a burrito and found Taqueria El Huarache was open until 10pm. When we arrived, they were in the process of cleaning and closing up, but the cashier stopped cleaning and greeted me with a nice hello. We ordered a Chili Verde and Pollo Asado super burritos and a horchata. They had a nice selection of salsas and pickled spicy garnish. When the cashier handed me the bag--it was HEAVY. These were HUGE burritos. Once we got back on the hwy and opened up the burritos, they were DELICIOUS! The chicken was really good, but the chili verde was EXCELLENT--super flavorful!! They also had a clean bathroom, which is always a plus! Next time we need a quick bite while in Merced, we will definitely take the short drive from 140 or 99, to Taqueria El Huarache--friendly staff and delicious burritos. read more

I made a very simple clear and loudly started request of getting pollo asado fries and that's it. Not very complicated, and screw all my excitement cuz after a 15 min drive home I find out it's carne asado...??? Really not that difficult of a job. And even after driving back all they did was replace it. Not type of compensation for such a stupid mistake. Also pollo asado fries were trash, the chicken was so over cooked I thought I was chewing on sand paper. Fries were good, but they're probably bought frozen in bulk. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION!!! read more

My husband and I LOVE the food here. The biggest friggen michelada I've ever had with fresh grilled ship on the rim with a seafood stuffed grilled pineapple they call the Piña Loca is my favorite. Prices are reasonable. Restaurant is clean, and for those concerned with stupid face masks everyone was wearing them. read more
