Well the place literally stinks at lunch today. It smells like they mopped the floor with dirty water and tried to hide the smell with bleach. We ordered the smallest food we could - two tacos - so we could leave as soon as we could. Even if the food winds up bring tolerable the smell is too much. Shame. The food was decent but over priced for Mexican. $2.00 for a side of rice? And that's not even on the menu. Nope. Well continue to eat at plaza Azteca. read more

Large amounts of deliciously fresh Mexican food. Be prepared to take the remainder home for another meal. Perfect Margarita's (yes, plural). Don't be fooled by the exterior (used to be a Pizza Hut), the interior is a cheerful, brightly colored mexican fiesta and very clean. Highly recommend this jewel. read more

Food was delicious and the service was wonderful!!!! So accommodating. No complaints. The aesthetics are awesome too!!!!

The decor was a little over the top, but the food was pretty good. The sampler platter is ENORMOUS and even shared between 2 people was way too much food. Could be shared with 3 or 4 people and everyone would be satisfied. The house burrito was moderately sized with very tasty carnitas. The service was mediocre with the server taking a while to get to us and not returning until we walked over to her to ask for a box. All in all, an ok experience with some pretty good food. read more

2 stars for: dinners that tasted just okay; service and food preparation that was poor; and salsa that was underwhelming. Three adults arrived on a slow weekday evening. When we arrived, there were 3-4 tables with small groups and families. We were greeted with a friendly host who promptly brought chips and salsa. The salsa was a bowl of thinned, watery, lightly seasoned red juice. Except for the cilantro floating on top, there was nothing to dip with the chips. We nearly finished the basket of chips before a server arrived to take our drink order. While waiting for our order of enchilada dinners, another basket of chips arrived. More wait time for dinner and our server asked is she could refill our drinks. More uncomfortable wait time for our dinner to arrive and our server assured us our food would be arriving shortly and asked if we wanted more chips. More wait time for dinner to arrive, and when the server returned, only two of our three plates appeared. The third dinner arrived 3-5 minutes later. All of our dinners were served at a lukewarm temperature. Worse than waiting a long time to be served at a cool temperature was the preparation of the lingering third dish was remarkably different than the other two. The last dish to arrive had refried beans sprinkled with cheese, the others didn't. The last dish was swimming in Verde sauce, the others were dry by comparison. Not surprising, the wait for the bill was exceedingly long. I could not find any server in the restaurant to move this process forward, so we continued our conversations over dirty dishes left on the table. read more

Excellent, extremely fresh, very good food and wonderful service from our friendly waitress Allie. (Thanks Allie!) Very colorful and bright decor. Will definitely return soon and highly recommend. read more

I have a great appreciation for authentic Mexican fare. I can tell a good sangria from a mile away. Regarding the sangria, it is totally top shelf and served in a glass that could house a bowling ball-and for $9.50 is a good deal. Chips and salsa are spot on. Guacamole is not the best I have ever had but entirely palatable. They are about three stars out of five on the entrees, however, if you choose to upgrade the beef it is well worth it! Lastly, they did a great job with the decor. The booths feel very authentic with hand-painted scenes of El Paso country. Wait staff is also very pleasant. Visited twice with plans to return again. read more

Casa Herrera - Mexican Near Me - Thorndale, Pennsylvania

Good food but I've had root canals that take less time. I placed a takeout order at 5:32. I was told it would take 15-20 min. It's 6:03 and still nothing. This place is good but not worth the wait for takeout. I'm surprised it is taking this long the place only has 3 paying tables it's a little crazy. read more

Walked in at 6:30pm on a Tuesday, empty dining room, only 3 or 4 tables seated and was told it would be a 10-15 min wait to be seated. After 15 mins and not being seated in the very empty restaurant (obviously we had to wait for a table currently occupied to empty) we left. Poor service, no excuse read more

Super festive decor...Salsa was fresh and delicious... The burritos and fajitas were hot, large portions, and very tastey.. wait staff were friendly. read more

Casa Herrera - Mexican Near Me - Thorndale, Pennsylvania

Extremely rude.... repeatedly ask to speak to a manager and then refused to grab anyone in charge. My son has health issues and isn't able to eat inside restaurants due to possible consequences contraction of Covide - 19. I asked if we could have chips and dip with our meals like every other paying customer in the restaurant and they refused to give me any. Then wanted me to pay $5.99 for chips and salsa . Horrible service !!! I would recommend never going to this dump . read more

Although we live in Thorndale, we only discover Casa Herrera two months ago and have been back three times - including last night for Cinco de Mayo. Perfecto ! The food is wonderful, the staff ( especially Pamela, Erik, Temo and Jasmine) are fantastic; both speedy and polite.....and the menu selection is awesome. Best of all it's in our "backyard". Call and make reservations - the place gets packed Last night we tried the Hornita Margarita and it's fantastic......as well as the Camerones Diablo, I believe it was called. Not for the weak stomach....it's spicy sweet taste and ""heat" will have you reaching for your Margarita!! I LOVED IT !! Congratulations Casa Herrara - your's is a favorite. NOS ENCANTA EL LUGAR ! read more

This is the best Mexican food around. It was very authentic, there was a large variety of food, and the staff was very friendly. Oh also the margaritas were huge and delicious. Will definitely be going back. read more

Okay. Service exemplary. May I say that the menu is excellent. Saturday evening and loud. Great fun and very emjoyable. Boy, we are so lucky to have this quality in our neighborhood. Staff is helpful and willing to make suggestions. read more

Starting with the chips and salsa, not bad, not great. Chips were average tricolor, the salsa was more like fresh tomatoes run through a food processor and garnished with julienne cilantro, not very flavorful or good consistency. The Cheese Dip was just melted cheese but that is what the menu states, the Guacamole was fresh avocado but bland, needed to add salt and the side of minced jalapeños served on the side. The house burrito with steak was okay, nothing special, and the Parrillada Azteca was bland as well. Although the menu states "marinated" the meats lacked flavor, thin and dryly over cooked. The toreados and cactus were good, but the dish needed salsa/hot sauce to add flavor and moisture. All in, nothing special, nothing to make us want to go back. read more

My wife and I first made a visit in Nov. 2017. Waitress was friendly and took care of us in a timely manner. We returned this weekend. Party of 5. Our waiter was friendly but screwed up the order (he didn't write it down) for one of us, twice actually, so finally we told him just forget it. He never apologized and actually never came back to our table again! We had to flag someone down for a check. So that guy needs some lessons in hospitality. The food both times was pretty good, I'd say B/B+ for food. read more

I stopped in tonight, a frozen bitter windy cold night. I wanted 2 tamales to go, a beer at the bar, and to make reservations for Friday. Everything was spot on, but... They seemed a bit understaffed. It could be the bad weather. I forgive. The manager was amazingly friendly and accommodating. I can not wait till Friday. Big group. Casa Herrera has a heads up! Buen Provecho!. BTW, The tamales were very good!!!! read more

Casa Herrera - Yum - Mexican Near Me - Thorndale, Pennsylvania

I love love love this place! The decor is fun and colorful, the service is delightful, and the foot is the best Mexican I've had around here. A highlight are the GIANT, super boozy drinks (you definitely get your money's worth). There are two vegan-possible options on the menu and the servers are knowledgeable and accommodating (we've never gotten any accidental cheese). Chips and salsa are free and delicious and we always get the table-side guacamole. read more

Had lunch with one of my best friends there today. House burrito at $8.50 was one of the best I've ever had! Enough left that take home box have me a snack for tonight. Service was friendly and prompt and the food was perfectly prepared. Highly recommend the Tortilla Soup!!! Yum! read more

We haven't been in quite a long time because we just didn't feel it was the best Mexican in the area, but we went last night and everything was fantastic! I don't know what changed but whatever it was, it was for the better! We'll be back! read more

My mother and I ordered from here for the 1st time today. Walked in and the decor was beautiful, loved it! Staff was friendly. And those are the only 2 reasons im giving 2 stars. The food was not so great and seemed low quality we got and order of nachos texano and i got a burrito with chicken. The burrito had waaaay too much inside and the chicken seemed to be all dark meat which is a no go for me! Samr with the chicken in my moms chimichanga. It had a less than quality taste to it. A warning thay the chicken is mixed with dark meat would have been nice. Although we did only look at the menu online and it said nothing about dark meat- maybe the one in the restaurant points this out? Anyway, ive had better from my home town in Philly. Wont be returning unless the quality of ingredients changes in the future read more

Went to Casa Herrera for lunch and it was delicious! The food is authentic Mexican for sure! We got fajitas, enchiladas, nachos and quesadillas! Everyone enjoyed their food and left with a smile. The decor is also very authentic and colorful. read more

I can't tell you how much I appreciate walking into this restaurant (with a Friday night wait), and have such excellent service. Food was fantastic, came quickly and the drinks were strong. We will be coming back. read more

Pretty good food. Authentic. Good prices. Real Mexican cuisine. Home made... definitely a good one read more

My family really likes this place. I must confess we almost only order one thing, the Beef Nachos on the appetizer list. For a long time they ran a 1/2 price appetizer promo and we got hooked. A massive, delicious plate of nachos for $5. Awesome! At regular price, they are still worth every penny. We have occasionally ordered regular meals and each time they have been flavorful and ample. They are on Restaurants.com now so we can get discounts. So glad Casa Herrera is there. read more

Ther authentic Spanish design as you walk in tells me the authentic cuisine will be the best family service and pleasant atmosphere. . The lamb served dinner & all their entrees are the greatest, a must go to‼‼‼‼ read more

Wasn't a huge fan. We went when they first opened and it was a disaster, even the rice was horrible. Went back recently and still wasn't impressed. They also charged us for chips for take out which I thought was a bit crazy since we both got full meals. read more

A great place for authentic Mexican food and drinks. Fairly priced and the staff is very friendly and attentive. Been going to Casa Herrera for quite some time now and never had a bad meal there. They do get busy on Friday and Saturday nights but during those times, the place is usually jumping with music from Mexico. Definitely a fun place to eat. read more

Always consistent and the salsa they provide with chips is fresh - not jarred. I love the rojo sauce on enchiladas. Not sure what they put in it but I rank it up there with the salsa. The margaritas are on point. Only complaint - hire more wait staff! The waitress we had was waiting on about 8 other tables and it was busy! Management shouldn't treat their employees like that. read more

Had a very good lunch there today with two friends. We were all very satisfied with our meals - good taste, good lunch portions, fast & friendly service. We were somewhat hesitant to go, based on the other reviews, but I've been around long enough to know that you should never base your experience on one visit during the opening few weeks of a new place, as there are always kinks to work out. I've been to new location openings of very large national restaurant chains that had major glitches in service delivery & food, so this is true of any restaurant. I'm happy to say that we were pleased and that we will definitely go back! read more

My first time there and I was not disappointed. The place was clean, nicely decorated, a little loud but only because people were having a good time. The food was good, great flavor, seasoning and just the right amount of heat (spice), since we've had a hard time finding a Mexican restaurant with good spice in this area. The wait staff was excellent and the bill was very reasonable. We'll be back. read more

Wow! Food is so good I felt the need to post a review. Table side guac was delish too!

I have been to Casa Herrera several times and am happy to report that their service and wait time is much better than when they first opened. The food has been delicious each and every time. I love the decor - beautiful, bright-colored chairs and tables - and the fact that this small business has done a good job of sprucing up an otherwise drab section of business Rt. 30. They've just added a couple of outdoor tables and while I applaud the effort to diversify, I'm not sure I want to sit on a busy street and eat. That said, I'm sure plenty of people would. I hope this restaurant stays in business a long time. read more

I used to love coming here! Until one day, I bit into my quesadilla and found something they looked like a chicken's claw/toe nail. I spit it out so fast and nearly threw up. I showed my mom & she even said it looked like a chicken's claw/toe nail too. It is such a cute place that is so close to my house and I really loved coming but I have YET to return and I do not think that I ever will. I just can't get that image out of my head. read more

This has become our new go-to restaurant. The service is great, the food incredible and the drinks are strong! We go on a regular basis and the food is always home made and fresh. We've discovered that the spiciness can vary from day to day depending on who's in the kitchen. LOVE this place and take all of our friends here. read more

Menu is extensive. Wait may be a little long because they're new, but this place is worth it. You'll be impressed by the menu offerings and glad this place is in thorndale. You'll be glad you came. Ask Chris the bartender for tips. read more

Awesome food and surprisingly cheap! Awesome chips and salsa every time we go too. Drinks are good and you can wait at the tiny bar or outside on a nice night when it's crowded. Consistently good again and again. Nothing seems frozen. All seems homemade! Friendly service and usually quick. read more

Love the taco salads. Great chips and guac/salsa as well. So thankful that there is finally a place closer to home with great food (sit in or take out!) read more

The service is very below par.. I've been waiting for my chorizo tacos for 20 minutes while my friend has been eating theirs.. the service is very slow and they seem to not really know what they are doing.. I've been sitting here waiting for my server and she is no where to be found.. I am very upset and they don't really care how to treat a customer.. very sad.. I come here every weekend and it's the same deal.. I don't think I will be back.. would never recommend this place to family and friends.. the food is ok nothing special you can get these tacos anywhere even a gas station.. they need to work on communication skills and customer service skills along with manners! read more

Going to update my review because this last visit was downright awful, I should've known when I called to place my order and it took me close to 10 mins to order. The girl taking my order was pretty incompetent at taking my order. I had to repeat what I wanted at least 10times to the point I actually said oh my god r u seriously asking me this again to the girl. Got the food and it was just horrible. Carnitas was dry and inedible and nachos were not good like prior times. read more
