Description:
El Huarache Azteca 510-533-2395
3842 International Blvd. (between 38th and 39th avenues); (510) 533-2395. Open 8 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, until 10 p.m. Friday-Saturday.
From the SF Chronicle: "Otaez's original site, a few storefronts north, now houses the Chavez family's popular El Huarache Azteca, known for its weekend barbacoa de borrego (lamb) and its thick masa sopas and huaraches. The two storefronts, with their colorful paint jobs, make this a neighborhood focal point."
"Up the street at El Huarache Azteca, Saturday and Sunday are the days to order the platillo de barbacoa ($12) at El Huarache. Be sure to take meat-eating friends, because you get a huge pile of shredded, slow-cooked lamb to pile on tortillas with rice, beans, nopales, cilantro and salsa."
