Hugo’s Tacos

Bland as a mother. Hugos might want to invest in some salt. I bet an armpit would taste more like a burrito. What a letdown.

REALLY over priced! They put some sort of red signature spice sauce blend all over everything, its not good. Vegetarian menu is OK. Ordered a tostada salad with chicken, what a disaster! Basically, shredded lettuce and ground chicken… GROUND consistency of a chorizo. I know that i will never eat there again.

GLUTEN. FREE. CHURROS.
Oh my goodness this place makes me happy. Having been gluten free for almost six years now, I can’t even remember the last time I had a churro. Then I found this place online, and it immediately went to the top of my must-​visit list. The churros were SO good! They’re sold in sets of two, but I honestly could have eaten ten. The breadth of gluten free options here is exciting and almost overwhelming at the same time. I’m not used to having so many choices! Just looking at the menu, I made a list of all the things I need to come back and try: tostadas, taquitos, tamales, breakfast bowls, nachos, and more. Mexican food is generally more gluten-​free-​friendly but there are so many items here I’ve never seen anywhere else!
Weirdly, the staple Mexican food items like the tacos and chips and salsa were super underwhelming. Borderline yucky… So when you come here, stick to the unique stuff. But my super sensitive stomach can attest that Hugo’s is completely celiac-​friendly. Bonus: vegan and vegetarian are marked on the menu too!
If you’re gluten free, this place is absolutely a must. I know I’ll be back an embarrassing amount of times to get more churros!

Quick and yummy Mexican style food. I like that they have a bunch of options for meat and vegetarian style meat like soy chorizo. They also have tilapia fish which I have tried and it is really good. Their chipotle BBQ sauce is what makes their food taste good. You can get a meal for under $ 10 so not a bad deal for quick food.

Had a soy chorizo tostada with spicy salsa. Soy chorizo didn’t taste like much. Salsa was spicy but also low on flavor. Too much lettuce. Portion was just right, though — not too big and not skimpy. I’ll try a different menu item next time.

I ordered a steak quesadilla. It was good but for $ 10 I could buy more food with the same taste if not better. In other words for food for my dollar. I guess if your vegan there’s is a wide selection. I’m for eating healthy but not for $ 10.

I love this place, I need to work my way through more of their vegan options. Everything is so good. It is not fancy it is just good, its about the food, that’s it!

I’ve always been surprised at the quality of tacos in Atwater. Even though Hugo’s just recently started serving breakfast, I’d still go across the street to Tacos Villa Corona. But if you need that post-​afternoon to late-​evening Taco fix in Atwater, this is the spot.
I’ve always appreciated the breadth of vegetarian options that they have here, including soyrizo (which I hold, is one of the best of the soy protein options). But the best thing about this place is the way that you’re able to vary up your sauces, and the best of the bunch is the mild, subtly sweet honey chipotle sauce. It’s thick, but you could dip anything in it and it’d be the best thing you ate all day.
Next time I’m in the neighborhood I’ll swing by here again. Just writing this review has me wanting another taco.

Been wanting to stop for awhile now, but finally made my 1^st visit. They have a surprisingly large parking lot for a small building, but so was parked across the street on Glendale; needless to say you won’t worry about parking.
On the other hand, The seating is extremely limited however. If you get there for a late lunch you may be eating while you stand.
Upon 1^st glance at the menu, The prices were slightly higher than expected, but I assume that the taste will make up for it. I just a Mexican place by their hard tacos (because soft tacos are just unfolded burritos); therefore I ordered the 3 taco special for $ 7.75. And since I had read about the Honey Chipotle Salsa on Unilocal,thats what I chose.
I was a little surprised that the tacos were so small and that the shells had plenty of remaining space which was a disappointment. The tacos were tasty and the salsa WAS as good as people claimed.
Overall, food is good, but I didn’t feel I ate a $ 10 lunch. I’ll come again and try heartier fare next time and see if that’s changes my experience.

I just had my last meal at this place.
Absolutely gross and disgusting. Had to get my burrito remade as it exploded when I tried to eat it, and was still gross after it was remade. Skip at all costs, go to Mixto down the street for a better version of what they are doing here with better hours.

Not terrible. Selection is decent, plenty of vegetarian options. Most things are from $ 5 – 8. The breakfast burritos are served all day and are pretty dang big for $ 5.25. Single tacos aren’t worth the price, tiny and not much too them.
I was sorely disappointed in the soy chorizo which was almost tasteless.
Not bad, service was quick. But it’s all outside seating.

Writing an unimpressed dad style review.
I paid $ 10 for breakfast burrito and soft serve.
The burrito wasn’t very big and it was COMPLETELY BLAND. no salsas! no spice inside! salsa is like $ 2 extra!
I ate half of the burrito there, and half at home under a coat of tapatio. the seasonings in the rice were nice, but damn… no heat at all.
Pretty unimpressed since I came to Atwater village for tacos villas coronas — $ 4 burrito that comes with as many salsas as you want. Hugo’s also had all their employees wearing dorky uniforms — not a clean and strong aesthetic like mixto (which accounts for their premium pricing).
The staff also forgot that I wanted my soft serve in a cone, and gave it to me in a cup. I ordered something called a Frozato (in a cone) and thought it might have some flair for the ~$ 2.50 it was worth. Nope! Just a non dairy soft serve machine farting into a paper cup :/​
I was going to ask for a cone, because the mixup wasn’t my mistake, but couldn’t get a response from the food dispatch window while the cashier window was already busy with someone else’s messed up order.

The food here is great, and almost every menu item is offered in a vegan version. The vegan menu includes tacos, taquitos, tamales, tortas, nachos, etc. I find the heavy usage of white beans a little weird, and I suggest they change this, but otherwise, everything I’ve had here has been really good. Stand out items are the soyrizo taquitos, churros, and frozato-​vegan soft serve! Delicious.
I don’t understand all these hater reviews that negatively refer to Hugo’s as «white people Mexican food». Yeah, it’s not traditional Mexican food. Is it bad Mexican food? No! It’s delicious. If you want authentic Mexican food, go to a pinche taqueria-​this is Los Angeles, they’re on every corner.

White peoples tacos. The medium spicy salsa was sweet and weird. Salsa for chips was pathetic, lacking flavor. Even their fries were awful — soggy and brown from reusing oil too many times over.
Not authentic Mexican food. Never again.

To day was my first day eating here at hugos tacos i got 2 burritos it was not worth the price I paid for it was very nasty I will not come back to this place taco Azteca in glendale is way better and better price
