Tonya, Highland Park Resident, Lincoln Heights Adjacent Resident
Lumis Fesitval 2015

El Huarache Azteca has been in the neighborhood for years, and for many still living in the neighborhood, despite whatever rating is posted in the window, is still a spot to go for delicious Mexican food. Tony and friends, no matter the time past and distance that separates them, remember it fondly but haven’t been back because of the changing times.
