    In my humble opinion: 5:30- we arrive at the restaurant. The parking lot is packed and the restaurant was full. Still, we didn't wait. Emily was our server and pretty much stayed on top of things with zero complaints there. Chips and salsa plus our queso sauce landed on the table at 5:40. El Jefe at 5:41. (That is an impressive margarita with fire grill fruit like orange and lime.) 6 pm the meals arrive. And everything looks amazing. Tastes even better. The soup and salad meal ($11) is so pretty I want to try it myself, next time. I had the fajita chimichanga. Unbelievable. Really really good.

    Lots of parking, nice, bright open interior that isn't as loud as a lot of places, feels like being in the town square (with air conditioning) and NO TVs! (In the main dining area) Woohoo! Always good food here. The chips aren't great though. We are a little older and the lunch sizes are still a lot of food! Dinner we always need a to go box.

    Started out fine. 4 delicious salsas, decent Chips. OK margaritas. Dinner came. Vegetarian chili rellenos, because I felt like something light. It seems like everyone else's dinner was ok, but mine was a decent cheese chili relleno paired with another deep-fried Anaheim chili placed on top of microwaved steamed frozen mixed vegetables. WTF? The accompanying rice was fine, but the black beans were bland and tasted like they were fresh out of can. Overall, a pretty expensive meal that was very sub-par. Being from Houston, I'm kinda biased toward Mexican food, but damn - no self respecting restaurant should serve steamed frozen vegetables. There's plenty of fresh produce in Texas, especially if you are charging a premium price.

    The Ambassador  The Steak was perfect medium rare and shrimp were big gulf shrimp stuffed and bacon wrapped.

    Food was not outstanding for the near-gourmet price. Beverage had odd chemical odor. Not worth the prices.

    I enjoyed the grilled chicken salad tonight. Does anyone know what kind of apple is used? I've never had this variety. It was small, light skinned with specks, with outstanding crisp, juicy, CITRUSY flavors. TIA

    First, a shout out to Abilene Yelper Garry H. for giving me the 411 on Casa Herrera. My car club…read morepeeps visit the Abilene area once a year to dine at a famous steakhouse in Buffalo Gap. We usually drive up Saturday so lunch in Coleman, TX. Once we're settled in at our usual hotel we start looking for evening snacks and drinks. We dined at TaMollys once but didn't like the lack of a full bar. That restaurant has since closed. The Buffalo Wild Wings at the mall was horrible. We also went to Outback Steakhouse because it's within walking distance. Good drinks but we're not here to eat sub par steak followed by the # 3 ranked Texas Monthly steakhouse in Texas. Checked everything within reasonable walking distance. This is where Garry's local knowledge helped dial in Casa Herrera. Our group waited a few minutes before being seated. Served by veteran server (20+ years at the restaurant) it was a very pleasant experience. Here's how the food went. My entree consisted of a giant pitcher of Patron Margarita which I hoarded. As for the rest of the cuisine the photos are posted here. OK, I did share a bit with my GF and nearby friends. I've also been asked to do the steak run twice a year. We're coming back!
