Some internet sources say Hector's is not open on Fridays or Saturdays. This is wrong, I was pleased to find out on a recent visit to Wauwatosa.This is a mom and pop type restaurant that's been open for a long time and would be a nice bar to watch a game at--a Bucks game was playing when I was there. Service is friendly, not slick or obtrusive.I enjoyed the chips and salsa--the salsa had a slight heat to it that you get when it's homemade and some of the peppers might have been spicier that day. I had the spinach and mushroom enchiladas. They were covered with maybe a little too much cheese but were alright. Prices are reasonable.While I wasn't wowed by the food it was a nice meal. The low-key atmosphere is a nice change of pace from the flashier style of the chain restaurants nearby. Not a bad detour.

This is about as average Mexican food you can get in a restaurant with an average patio and an interior that is quite unflattering.The chips and salsa are just ok. The fajitas and mole were nothing special. It's wannabe authentic Mexican food, but is more like what your mom probably made you at home on Taco Tuesday. It caters to the Tosa crowd, and that's probably why it's been around so long. It's not great, it's not bad. The whole experience is just, well, average. Go a few blocks away to Bel Air or Paloma for a fun atmosphere and creative twist on tacos and other Mexican fare. Head to the south side if you want legit, authentic Mexican. If you want something in between, you've found your spot at Hector's.

Not at all festive, tasty or a worthwhile experience in any way. Food, service and ambiance definitely far short of mediocre at best. It would be less than one star to be honest.

Not my favorite, but overall decent! Our tortilla chips weren't salted which was very disappointing. The ground beef taco was my favorite of the combo plate #1, but the enchilada made me feel ill because it was way too much cheese (however, it was a cheese and onion enchilada so I should have known better). Will definitely have to give this place another try another time!

Awful food. Spent over $100.00 and threw our meals away. I took 1 bite of my daughters seafood enchilada and spit it out, too fishy and too salty. Raspberry Margeritas were like water in that there really wasn't a raspberry flavor. I believe the only reason this place stays open is that it,s a place for the locals to hang out at the bar. I give Hecters minus 5 stars.

We love Hector's we used to come here often and I'm not sure why we stopped. We rediscovered Hector's this summer and we have been here several times since then. My favorite is the tostada, my husband gets something different every time and loves it all. Do yourself a favor and just try! Better than Bel-Air in my opinion!!

Hector's is a Mexican restaurant that has been in business in a Milwaukee suburb for 30 years. It is not a Mexican with a twist kind of place, it's an institution in Wauwatosa.They fry their own tortilla chips and make their own salsa. They put a lot of love in the food. We (2 people) split an order of steak fajitas and a signature salad (it had yummy grilled portobello mushrooms). It was a perfect lunch with a beer!The bar has that neighborhood bar feel and that is a great thing! Definitely worth a try if you can accept Hector's history!

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately the food was very underwhelming. I ordered the fish tacos which were unseasoned, drippy wet, and mushy. My husband's seafood enchiladas were ok but also tasted very bland. Chips were unsalted too.Our waiter was great! No complaints with service.Ambiance was nothing special - we sat in a dingy room off of the bar.Wauwatosa has several great spots for Mexican food, so we don't plan to go back here unless we hear that some major improvements on the food have been made.

Hands down the worst Mexican food I've ever had, and not inexpensive either. Combo plate was clearly cooked by microwave, the plate was 1000 degrees. The steak in the fajitas was thin, leathery, and overcooked. Fire cracker poppers had zero spice. Food was flavorless.
