HUMO COCINA MEXICANA: Reviews & Ratings
In a word: amazing. Drinks were delicious, food was incredible, service was awesome. 11/10 would recommend to anyone and I can't wait to eat here again. I would give this place 10 stars if I could!
The food and drinks here are fantastic. We ordered the chilaquiles with birria, matchaca omelette, humo margarita and humo mezcalita. Everything else was delicious. The bartender was adorable and the food and drinks came out promptly. Would definitely come back if I’m ever in the area.
The experience was great!! I love they have chilaquiles all day and the pozole is authentic Mexican style, everything was delicious, even drinks had great presentation, Mario was our server, so polite and knowledgeable on the menu, and overall the atmosphere was relaxing at the patio, they had a musician that thrilled us with his music during our stay.
YIKES!! A blast from the past when restaurant workers did that for a career, and not just a tempoary job. It became apparent quickly that Arturo and Paula were there to serve the customer....WITH GREAT SERVICE. This is not just an order at the counter place. Nope, it is table-service. And the quality of the dishes that the food is served on will give you a hint that Quality is their focus. The food you order will prove that. Enjoy....
6/30/2025: So fantastic on 6/23, I returned one week later to assess consistency. Not a single criticism. In fact, it may have been better – if that is possible. Only change to my order was inclusion of one of the menus specialty tacos, the ‘Lorenza’. Asada with melted cheese – absolutely delicious. Strong endorsement. 6/23/2025: Incredible Carnita tacos, Queso Fundido with Chorizo, beans, Rice & Salsa. Everything was so fresh and clean tasting, this place is a GEM! Let me foot stomp that salsa, a wonderful break from conventional fresco salsa - Nice ‘kick’ and so much flavor. I mentioned a moment ago the beans and rice...while these two items can be easy to overstep as a standard accompaniment on Mexican dishes, they were both extraordinarily good. I’ve been to other locations under the same ownership, and this location is / should be their ‘Flagship’. Incredible food - don’t pass this place up. P.S. Great service too.
First must be patient as it can get busy. Rose our waitress was hopping all over the place.. She is so friendly. The Chef came out and waved to all of us. The beans and salsa is delicious! Definitely will be going back.
We knew it would be good as soon as we got the chips and salsa! I had Enchiladas con Huevos with both red and green sauce...very good! The green sauce had a kick and delicious! The place is small, but very clean and inviting. I would definitely go back!
The Service was amazing! The food was delicious!! The place is tiny so you may have to go early to get a table! I would highly recommend!! The patio was the perfect spot this morning!! The food came out really fast! My little guy loved the rice!! Our server Oscar was amazing he did great with our kiddo!! Definitely check out this place!!
