Humberto's Taco Shop

I grew up eating here every holiday break with my abuela living on island ave. Taste buds change but they are a little too heavy on the salt now. Went with family as we do on visits. I usually get the rolled taquitos but this time I got the chimichanga! It was bomb but my daughter's enchiladas were very salty.

There is a good reason for the line up. Line up and order, get a number and wait. There's tables available for dine-in but limited. Service as expected for these shops. Very friendly team. Food was hot! You get bottles of sauce to use as you wish! I ordered the fish and carne asada. Light coating on the fish, very juicy.

So, this place was pretty good overall. The vibe in here is a bit run-down and claustrophobic, but not quite hole-in-the-wall. It's fine enough. The cashier was less than friendly and seemed quite impatient to be taking my order. She had a condescending tone with me, and wanted me to hurry up and order when there was no one behind us in line. This is the reason I'm deducting a star. The food was pretty good (I got a bean and cheese burrito and a hard-shell chicken taco); the beans are good, the cheese in the burritos was half unmelted, half melted (which I prefer), and the chicken taco was great. Is it the best Mexican food I've ever had? No, not at all, but it was good and the prices weren't insane. I'm not a local, so I don't know what other places have to offer, but I wouldn't say no to coming here again. Give it a shot if you haven't yet.

Best Mexican food in town. But hey, of you don't think so that's ok. It's worth checking out if you haven't been. Best burrito, but they have so much more as far as their options. I love a toasty outside to my burrito and these folks always hook it up without me having to ask again to make it nice and toasty. Filled to the brim with meat and veggies, and no need to charge extra for guacamole. It's in there! Enjoy your next Mexican craving at Humberto's! 🌯
