Huarachis Taqueria is the vibrant sister restaurant of Bacanora PHX, founded by James Beard Award-winning Chef Rene Andrade and his talented team. This isn’t your typical taqueria—it’s a place where authentic flavors meet creative cocktails and a diverse menu featuring tacos, huaraches, tortas, and hearty platters. Here, you can even treat yourself to our fun twist on dessert with concha ice cream. Huarachis Taqueria is more than a restaurant; it’s a gathering spot for the community, designed to feel like you’re at a friend’s backyard hangout. With a soundtrack of cumbia, corridos, merengue, salsa, rap, and R&B, it’s the perfect place to unwind, savor great food, and enjoy good company.

    The food was amazing, with more of a Mexican comfort food offering compared to their highly acclaimed sister restaurant, Bacanora. Flavorful, unique, and pleasing to the eye. The signature drinks were strong, complex and satisfying. Be warned, if an entree has a higher price, it’s for good reason. We made the mistake of ordering carne asada fries, 8 tacos and a few starters/sides and ended up going home with 3 boxes of food for the four of us to indulge in the next day. The jicama salad was a highlight of the meal while serving as a great palate cleanser with its refreshing yet spicy flavors. This restaurant has become a top contender on our list of local spots around Phoenix for special occasions and showing visitors what our amazing city has to offer for gastro culture. Do yourself a favor and get in here ASAP!

    Food was excellent. Just as good as Bacanora, but more casual vibe (and you can actually get a table).

    I almost never post reviews on social media. But this place warranted an exception. We finally got a chance to try Bacanora several weeks ago and were eager to try this new outpost of Chef Andrade with some guests from out of town. Here are my takes. Food: Our apps were the quesadilla (comes rolled in a tube, that's different) and the jicama salad which greatly exceeded expectations; it's a must try. Dinner consisted of the chicken (whole bird) and the carnitas platos. These come with a slew of side dishes and salsa to eat family style. Two platters barely fit on the table. Definitely on the spicy side, but in a good way. Presentation and flavors are unique to virtually all other Mexican restaurants in town. Lots of leftovers to take home. Service: Professional, attentive, helpful. Food comes out of the kitchen quickly. The menu isn't extensive and what they serve is really well done. Value: Good value for money. Noise: Very high energy. Also, very loud. Clearly, the house likes it that way. Strongly recommend Huarachis for a really tasty and special Mexican food experience. Next time, I will Uber to the restaurant. Parking is not easy and navigating around that part of Central Ave is a puzzle if you don't do it regularly (which I do not). Only suggestion for the house is to consider serving tongs with the platos to facilitate getting at all the goodies.

    If you haven’t been, drop all other plans and go now. This is cuisine with flavor and flair and fun - all at the highest levels. Our server, Andre, was knowledgeable and gave us great advice as first-timers. Of course, we’ll be back.
