In a city with no shortage of excellent Mexican restaurants, Huaraches Moroleon manages to stand out. There are so many places that provide generic, bland Mexican food (e.g., El Toro, Dos Reales, Hacienda Agave) that it's refreshing to find a place that really delivers. Highlights for me: the spicy fajitas come with jalapenos and some genuinely hot chilis, the salsas (complimentary, upon request) are outstanding, and the service is always friendly and efficient. My wife is partial to the tripas tacos, and if you want other meats less common to the standard American diet, they have them here. You can spend a lot more and get a lot less elsewhere (again, El Toro). Plus, it has a cool hole-in-the-wall feeling as a neighborhood restaurant, well off the beaten path, with a small dining room. It takes a little effort to drive there (unless you're in East Urbana), but it's always worth the effort. Highly recommended.

Thank Goodness for yelp. This was a winner. Headed home from Casey, Il my kiddo and I were hungry. Since we were in unfamiliar territory I hit up trusty yelp and was not disappointed. The quesabirrira tacos were fire. I'm so glad I opted to ask the waitress what she suggests. She definitely steered me in the right direction. It was a Thursday night and place was packed. There was a group waiting for a table. So that alone should tell you it's good.

Great cheap Mexican place! They've recently revamped the menu. I got the Pollo rl Jefito which was a roasted and fried half chicken (all dark) with a grilled jalapeño, Nopales, a rice bean and veggie mix, and condiments. It was so good!! We are also a fan of their spicy margaritas!

This is a hidden gem for authentic Mexican food. Not a lot of seating, but great food and service. My wife and I stopped on a Sunday night and got a table right away. House made chips and flavorful red salsa were brought to the table. They had many margaritas and beers, as well as horchata. My wife ordered a fish taco plate that came with rice and beans. She asked for black beans, it was all amazing and fresh. She really liked the creamy chipotle sauce on top. We ordered spicy guacamole for the table and asked for some verde salsa. Both were awesome. I ordered three enchiladas, one red, one green, and one cheese with pastor, chorizo, and barbacoa. I wanted to try a variety, and they were all awesome, barbacoa was my favorite. This plate also came with rice and beans. Our server was very nice and helpful! We will be back.

Since I've only been there once (today, on the way home from voting) I'll only go with 4 stars. This place was recommended by a co-worker. The fact that a crew of hispanics from the company that recently roofed our house (they had work jackets on) were here indicate that we are getting the right stuff. The house-made chips were warm with 4 tasty salsas. One looked like salad dressing but had a smoky heat. The chipotle sauce was good but pretty hot (& I like it hot). I went for Huarache. It came on a plate sized handmade tortilla, a tad on the thick size which I don't mind since I make my own tortillas & sometimes they are a bit thick. My spousal unit had a burrito enchalada which is just a Flintstone sized burrito dressed with a red sauce. We also got a side of Mexican rice which was good. The food is good & a good value.
