My parents met in the Bay Area and one of their favorite restaurants excelled at chili rellenos… they have been searching for something that comes close the past 40 years they’ve been living in Washington. And Taqueria El Huarache has delivered! Best chili rellenos by far - egg batter that tastes like egg, non-mushy chili, filled with copious, toothsome cheese. And the three taqueria salsas are so good (and you can buy done to bring home with you ) - the habanero is my favorite. The service…

I always get the regular tacos but decided to try a different kind this time - Taco Al Carbon. Glad I did as it proved to be quite the dish. A type of taco that has marinated meat and shell then grilled and covered nicely with special sauce. Need I say more?

Amazing food, fast service and great friendly staff. They have an actual person playing the guitar which makes it that much more personable. Alberto our sever was amazing and on point always getting us refills and making sure we had everything we needed. I will be back here more often for sure. Thank you for the great food and service!

Yes. That sums it up. Great authentic food, fantastic drinks and fast friendly service. The chips and salsa were yummy and tasted fresh - they even give you refried beans! Owner was on top of things.Took the order and was always hustling the help while being very attentive. Large selection of entrees, you can't go wrong.

I ordered the wet Colorado burrito. Lots of meat, and a nice thick spicy sauce. You know it's a good sauce when you feel the burn! Most places put too much rice and a watery sauce. This was a nice change.
