This is the original hole-in-the-wall local place with insanely delicious Mexican food. Whether you go at 12 noon or 12 midnight, the place is always packed. So you know the food is always fresh!!! The line moves quickly and it’s definitely worth the wait! Carne asada burrito is my go-to order which I take home because I live locally. Get a burrito while you’re getting your car hand washed right next door!

I've been coming here for almost 40 years and the quality has never been disappointed! Prices have fluctuated over the years, but that's to be expected at this time. Depending on when you visit, the parking lot in back through the alley may be full, and street parking may be scarce. But once you get in there and order, you'll be glad you did! All in all, it's a great taco shop that tastes great and won't break the bank either. You should try it if in the area.

Best burrito spot with really good salsa verde. Super affordable spot, and excellent tasting food. I always recommend everyone there and they always tell me that they always go back. They accept Apple Pay which is really convenient. Super friendly staff.

I had absolutely the BEST fish taco EVER at Humberto’s this afternoon! I’ll admit I was very hungry, but the tomatoes, onions, cabbage, and other ingredients were fresh and crisp, and the white sauce (crema) was totally cold and fresh, perfectly complementing the hot and crunchy white fish. Yummm… what a flavorful mouthful! Humberto’s may look like the typical taco shop, but WOW! What outstanding flavors and excellent attention to detail the chef delivered with a humble taco can’t be overstated. Humberto’s food is truly amazing! The restaurant itself isn’t much to write home about, but the artwork/murals that adorn the place are pretty special. It’s worth a visit just to check out the mural on the exterior restaurant wall. Very cool. Check this place out for lunch or dinner sometime soon. You and your family will be very glad you did.
