El Huarache — Restaurant in Durham

Finally! authentic Mexican food! Being from Los Angeles, I have been missing food like this the last 8.5 years I have lived here. El Huarache was beautiful inside, minimal decor, very clean and spacious. The bathrooms were clean as well. I loved the vibe and the service was great! I’m so confident I can order anything off the menu and thoroughly enjoy it.

Originally, I went in for a couple mediocre burrito to-go (not having viewed the menu beforehand) on our way to the museum. But we were so blown away by the environment and how the food looked on the plate of other customers eating that we decided to order meals and dine in. I’m so glad we did!

We LOVED our meals! Each meal came with a lot of food too.

We will absolutely be back!...

I went through the drive to with my fiancé and had to use the restroom. Upon walking inside, I realized we could’ve dined in. I ask the lady at the order table if there’s a restroom I can use. She said no. I asked “there’s no restroom with all of these people in here?” I then explained that my fiancé is still outside ordering food. That did not help. A gentlemen walked inside the restaurant into the back where she was and came back out. He asked what happened and I explained. He had no problem directing me to the restroom and said you’re fine. SMH my fiancé and I surely...

Really glad to finally get to try this new place! The people who work here were really friendly and helpful explaining menu items I wasn't familiar with. The renovations inside are nice and give the place a pleasant, open, sunny feeling. The tortillas are thick and have a nice texture, I assume they're made in house. I got tlacoyos, which I hadn't heard of before, and really enjoyed them. There were enough vegetarian options that I'll be happy to come back and try more. Great first experience, and glad to have some new and different Mexican options...
