Taqueria El Cazador — Restaurant in Huntsville

El Cazador is not really about atmosphere or stellar service. It is a no frills, walk up and order, authentic Mexican eat and run Taqueria with a tip jar at the register. They then bring it to your table. The plates are ceramic and the silverware is plastic. You eat and then clean up after yourself as best you can, and then toss your plate in a bus tray on a cart and everything else in a garbage can.

The food is good, the service is adequate, and there is a "serve yourself bar" that comes with every meal. This bar is a really nice touch. Everything you need is on it - tortilla chips and several different sauces/salsas from mild to wild on the spicey scale, charro beans, pico de gallo, sliced radishes, cucumbers, pickled carrots with onions and peppers, etc. I LOVE the pickled carrots with onions and peppers. You have got to tryn them. They are almost worth the trip by themselves.

My most sreious beef with the place is the fact that their drink choices are limited to those super sweet, colored Mexican drinks in the clear fountain dispenser machines, and things in a cooler that come in cans or bottles - pretty much a few soft drink choices and bottled water. I like my Mexican food spicey, and want to wash it down with plenty of iced tea, and this simply isn't possible at El Cazador. If this ever changes I will gladly up it to 5 stars, but until then, 4...

Being from Colorado were we have a great selection of real meicam food I was excited from the other reviews but apparently they don't know what good Mexican food looks and tasts like IT WAS TERRIBLE!! Will never go back due to food and service. Meat was way over cooked, guac was extremely salty. Taco salad were below half full. Macho burrito was okay but not worth 9.00+ dollars. Plus who puts Parmesan cheese on Mexican food? SMH seems they just use whatever is cheapest to buy to make food. Also I ordered to go off wedsite and all thier food is priced good then I orderd and everything was 2 dollars more. When we went to pick up we told about this they got very rude and said they were too busy to talk to use! Never go back and will let all we know how horrible it was to got there...

In my opinion, El Cazador is the best Mexican food in HSV. There are over 50 menu items to choose from. VERY AUTHENTIC. For the common American favorites, best tacos, burritos, and quesadillas around. But be adventurous and try some lesser know Mexican dishes--haven't had a bad one yet! Mojara Frita (pan fried whole Tilapia is amazing)! They have a pico de gallon bar with a great variety of salsas--mild to hot. Also chips and pint beans. As for 'atmosphere'', this is a working man's hang out with a big crowd of blue collar workers during meal hours. They di a great job serving fast, but during peak hour the tables can get a bit messy. Overall, the keep it clean outside of the rush. Try El Cazador. You wont be...
