  We decided to go here today because of the good reviews on Yelp. Unfortunately, I dont want to give even 1 star but Yelp is making me. We went  for lunch. I went to the restroom first, husband ordered us drinks and they had just brought the drinks chips/salsa when I got back. Then husband went to the restroom, came back and said *we need to leave, there is a very outgoing cockroach on the wall in the mens restroom. And if they are in the restroom, they are in the kitchen!*. So we promptly left. Does Hidalguense mean bug in Spanish?

  I sometimes chuckle at local non-Hispanics (of which I am one) who declare Mexican restaurants to be "authentic". How would we know, really? But if you find one that is frequented by mostly Hispanics, and find items on the menu that you don't find at any of your favorite burrito houses, then it's probably a good guess. So it is with El Hidalguense, where you can find things on the menu like the pumpkin flower quesadilla.
  
  Bottom line is, the food is fantastic. We had the pumpkin flower quesadilla, a very tasty giant tortilla loaded with the pumpkin flower/vegetable mixture. The gordita was both the largest and most delicious I have ever had - chicharron prensado, one of the very few local places you can get it, and it was awesome. And the alambres were the best I've tried yet.The menu has a lot of the usual favorites also, so anybody can enjoy it. But if you are looking for another adventurous and delicious Mexican food option, this is the place. I'm definitely going back to try more of the unique menu. Good margaritas too - bonus.

  I enjoyed the shrimp chimichangas with refried beans on the side and was very pleased with their salsa and service.   My waitress and I had to fumble a little through our language barrier as I kept asking for non or no meat menu items and she kept explaining and pointing to beef and chicken items....  then fish....   Sadly, like most places they lack a straight up black bean burrito or black beans at all, thank goodness I like shrimp!
