Reviews for El Huipil in Maynard, MA
The people that work here are great. Food is authentic and tasty. Only issue is the owner Alonso is a full blown a** hole and... rude to customers. Read more
Service was adequate, my margarita not to my liking, My beef and chorico tacos not warm and not a lot to talk about. We enjoyed... sitting outside, and it was a beautiful night. My friend says it's usually much better, and I'm willing to try it again perhapsthey had a bad night. There's one in Acton too. Read more
Discrimination. Racism. How is this possible? Tried to have a margarita and they denied my form of ID (passport) saying that... they only take Massachusetts IDs. Asked the server why if they always take my passport at every MA restaurant I go. He said areMassachusetts rules. I told him that? then tourist or non american cant drink in Massachusetts ?? and he didnt respond. Then myhusband ( american) showed his vermont ID and the server did allow him to order alcohol. Lets remember the server said firstthat he would only take MA IDs but then he didnt mind that my husband?s ID was from out state. So why did he only denied MEservice? This place says is mexican, with mexican food and decoration. But if a real mexican wanted to buy a beer or anyalcoholic drink wouldn?t be able to.. So they want the food and culture, but not the people. Read more
When we got there we went inside and were told that we should wait to get a table outside. And when we went outside we were... told to get a table inside! Because it was less crowded inside and that they had a shortage of outside staff. And we got a tablethat needed to be cleared a little. So when the table was cleared and ready for us. ANOTHER group of people took the table. Wedid get the table back and had to ask 3 TIMES. To get chips and salsa. Very long wait to get the food, but overall the food wasreally good. Read more
Really good. Excellent outdoor seating options. Seems to be a local favorite. Food was tasty. A very relaxed atmosphere -no... rushed service to leave and turn the table over. We will be back. Read more
I hired them for catering for a 40th anniversary party for around 60 people. We had a taco buffet with chicken, pork, and veggie... tacos, empanadas, spanish rice, chips, salsa, and Mexican salad. They were reasonably priced, did a great job setting up anddelivering, and we kept getting so many compliments for the food! Would definitely use catering with them again! Way better thanMoe's or Chipotle in terms of price and quality of food. My only concern was that it was a little difficult to get in contactwith them. The form on the website must not have gone through, because I waited a few weeks, tried to call and leave a message,but the voicemail was full, and then got through via facebook messenger, where I got the direct email address of the person incharge of events that way. Adriana was awesome to work with once we started communicating though! Definitely recommend, and alsorecommend getting in touch with facebook if the form/phone doesn't work. Read more
Possibly the most authentic, and oh so tasty molé in New England. You must experience this place for yourself! You cannot go... wrong with their tacos or ANY of the house specials. Refreshing and delicious margaritas as well! Read more
Whether Mexican restaurants want to own this or not, they are considered safe spaces to eat out for celiacs. When you first sit... down, you are offered chips and salsa like every other mexican restaurant - but these are fried in with a bunch of gluten. Comehere; get stealth bombed like me. It kind of affected the rest of the experience. Read more
