About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Innovative
  • Good for groups
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.

    Perfection honestly. It was amazing food in a non pretentious environment. We shared the carnitas platter. The meat was delicious and the perfect amount of crisp to the carnitas. I don’t typically like beans but they are so good. The eloteeeeee was my favorite. Can’t wait to go back

    Food was great. No one got cocktails but they looked good. We went around 5:30 and the music was quite loud and lights very bright. But they seemed to turn both down as we wrapping up and that was very nice.

    Very few North American eateries do the heavy lifting – taking those extra steps and pouring genuine care into delivering authentic Sonoran cuisine. This place is absolutely magnificent from beginning to end. My only worry is that their excellence will soon make it impossible to get a table.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    This was, quite literally, the greatest meal either my husband or I have ever been fortunate enough to experience in our lives. The service, the drinks, the food— I wish I could get it all 50 stars. We fly in from West Virginia four times per year to assist an ailing relative and thanks to Kamala and Tim, had seen Huarachis Taqueria and thought it would be fun to give it a try solely because they had been there… we were blown away, not only was it “fun,” the dining experience and food as a whole were out of this world. We will 100% visit Huarachis Taqueria every single time we fly into Phoenix. Thank you for the recommendation, Kamala and Tim! We’ve never had a meal so extraordinary in our lives. It’s also important to recognize that despite rhetoric fact that this is nothing short of a Michelin Star worthy restaurant, the prices are such that anyone could dine there; this levels of inclusiveness and making options available for everyone is so special, especially now. It is clear that Huarachis Taqueria doesn’t just care about delivering delicious food and exceptional service, they care about people and community— which is so wonderful. The only negative was that they were out of pink shirts and wouldn’t let me just buy the one off the wall— which actually isn’t a negative because being sold out means they’re so wonderful everyone wants to rep their merch!

    Exceeded expectations from all directions. Craft cocktails, delicious food and energetic ambiance. Everything we had was delicious - highlights elote, disco papas and quesadilla.

    Food was borderline great, but the service was average and the vibe just isn’t for me. Not to mention, it was loud af.

    Go now! What an outstanding place. Chase was an exceptional server and very knowledgeable about the meat-forward menu. Make sure you get the taco special of the night (whatever it may be) because that’s where you’ll taste the chef’s inventive ingenuity. We had the Carnitas Plato. Chase said it was a very large serving of smoked and confit pork, potatoes and grilled veggies— and it was! Bonus: leftovers for the morning. The frijoles were the best I’ve had in years. Also! Try the ceviche— a deliciously unique twist on a menu staple. We were there on a weeknight, but the place was hopping!

    Food is very good and reasonably priced. We especially enjoyed Elote, Papas Al Disco and Tacos (Pescado & Carne Asada). Drinks are unnecessarily fussy, overpriced and forgettable. Our server was not especially helpful and came across as more bothered by serving us than not.

    The Drinks and Food was delicious!!! The noise level is loud like mentioned in the comments. However, the only problem we had was the table was too small for all the amazing goodness. We are definitely coming back.
