Reviews For El Huarache De Dona Chela Restaurant

My family and I tried El Huarache and loved it so much that we ate there three nights in a row! Everything we tried was delicious: the chilaquiles, the cheese enchiladas, and the huaraches especially. Truly authentic and divine. Everyone who works there is so kind also. We plan on returning!

Amazing food, especially the chilaquiles. Always order a side of fresh chips on their own. Drove by today for breakfast but it was closed. Hope everything is OK. Excited to go back soon.

I had chilaquiles rojos with eggs. Very good flavor, they're made using queso fresco, which what you expect from a Mexican restaurant. It's a smaller place, which may not be ideal for larger groups. Attentive service. I will go back to try their Menudo and Pozole. Overall a solid 4.6 rating!

There are so many Mexican joints it is difficult to attempt to persuade you to come. I cannot do that. You just have to take a risk. I am certain you will not be disappointed.

It's a small little family own Mexican restaurante. At the most you can sit 20 people inside. However, the food here is delicious!! Me and wife have been going here more than 7 years and we love ordering the Huaraches. If we get there in the morning she gets the Chelaquiles. This place is everything you expect from a small wife & husband food spot.
