    Good atmosphere. Very chill. Speedy and respectful service. Good food. Great salsa. Here's an updated menu since the other one in here is over 10 years old.

    This is my absolute, favorite, consistently awesome place for Mexican food in San Angelo. The food is always tasty and fresh; I've never had anything that wasn't amazing, and the service is always fast, efficient, and friendly. The ambience is warm and authentic, but not too loud. The thing that first attracted me here, was the salsa: it is spicy every time, and peppers are the predominant ingredient, which is a welcomed departure from the pasty, tomato-slop that is popular in these parts. Since I've been coming here, however, I've fallen in love with the chile relleno, the Don Juan, the burger, and enchiladas. Today, I'm having chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce for the first time, and it is my new favorite. I love that they used diced fajita meat instead of the boiled crap most places roll up and pass off as cuisine. Bravo, Fernandez!! Stay awesome.

    ATM was broke and they only took cash the night we went. Clean place so so neighborhood. Staff was friendly and quick and the food was very good. I had chicken enchiladas with the white sour cream sauce and my husband had chicken enchiladas with red sauce Both were piping hot and mmmm good. Prices were reasonable just bring cash

    First impression was that I was a little turned off by The Simpsons on the television. The TV was a final point of the room, too. We were greeted with chips and salsa immediately. Ordered a large queso. Actual melted cheese and not Velveeta-type cheese or canned cheese that had been doctored. The salsa was yummy, but HOT. I don't mind the heat but an amateur salsa eater might have an issue with it. I ordered the Acapulco Plate. My son ordered the Mexican Dinner. He reports a "good-looking, quality meal" with a "really good flavor." My dinner was also good. The meat could've had a bit more seasoning. We both agree that the beans were AMAZING. It got really crowded by the time our meal was served. Super fast service.

    I ate here for my first Mexican restaurant in San Angelo. They were a bit busy due to lunchtime, but they still gave great service. I ordered chicken enchiladas and some queso dip! It was phenomenal. Definitely better than small town Virginia Mexican food!

    I've yet to receive the correct online order for the salsa that I requested late last year. See my earlier review. Very disappointed.

    This place is amazing. It's a home style Mexican restaurant that hits home. I get the fajita quesadillas every time and am always happy.

    My Wife's Son, Joe, came over to celebrate his birthday. He chose the Original Henry's Mexican…read moreRestaurant for this Lunch. On Thursday's, Henry's has their Steak Specials running from 11 am until 5 pm, so Steak for lunch sounds like a winner for us. When we arrived, I wasn't really surprised that there are a lot of cars/trucks in the parking lot. Walked in, was greeted by the Hostess, and shown to a table in the Main Dining area. Right away, the Chips & Salsa Lady came by with their Red Salsa, Bean Dip topped with Gravy, and those Fresh Warm Chips for us to enjoy. Right after that, our Server, Monica, stopped by and took our drink order while we looked over the menu, mainly their Thursday Steak Specials. Those Chips and Salsa, which is on the Hot side, are delicious, but I tend to lean toward the Bean Dip topped with Gravy. That is some really good stuff. When Monica returned with our drinks, we placed our order. Joe is having the "KC Steak"; About 16 ounces of Hand Cut Sirloin, requested medium. Served with Baked Potato or French Fries, chose French Fries. Served with Frijoles Borracho's and a Salad. Nancy is having the same thing, but medium rare. I am going with the "Henry's New York Strip Steak"; About 14 ounces. Chose French Fries over the Baked Potato. Served with Frijoles Borracho's and a Salad. All Steaks are tenderized by the In-House-Butcher and seasoned accordingly. Traditional Kansas City-style Steaks are typically seasoned with a blend of Coarse Garlic Salt, Pepper, Coriander, and Chili Peppers. Henry's has other Steaks on their Thursday Specials; Besides the two kinds we ordered, they have "Spanish Steak"; About 14 ounces, with the same sides. The "Chicken Fried Steak"; Their CFS sits in a Cheese-Gravy and is one of the Best CFS's around. And they have the standard "Hamburger Steak"; topped with Brown Gravy & Onions. Right after Monica took our food order, she returned and with Fresh Warm Chips and more of the Red 'Hot' Salsa. That stuff warms you up from the inside out and is very tasty. We enjoyed those Chips and Dips, and then our Salads came out. I topped mine off with their Vinaigrette Dressing, my Wife chose Thousand Island, and I think Joe went with Ranch. Right after we finished the Delicious, Crisp and Flavorful Salads, our Steaks arrived. Henry's has always been pretty quick in serving their food, and the presentation is Spot-On. No matter what plate you order, it's always going to be a Beautiful Presentation. All three of our Steaks are glistening, and the aroma makes your tummy smile. We all three cut into our Steaks and they are Right-On, just the way they should be. I have had the KC Steak before, and it was Very Tastylicious, and that's what my Wife said about hers. Very Tender with lots of Flavor in every bite. Joe loved his also and ate all of it. My Wife didn't eat all of hers because, as she says, she isn't tall enough. I ate all of mine because I am tall enough. It was also Very Flavorful, Tenderlicious and just down-right great. Their Steaks cut very easy with a knife - it just falls through the Deliciousness with ease. Normally, a New York Strip Steak is seasoned by being patted dry, then liberally coated on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Some methods involve dry-brining for several hours, while others apply a simple mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder just before cooking. Don't know if Henry's does theirs this way, but I do know that it's Awesomely Flavored. French Fries are pretty good, and I ate all of mine, but don't tell my Doctor. I'm not suppose to have this much Steak and Potatoes, and I've done this a couple times this week. So - Shhhhhhhhhhhh. No wonder their Frijoles Borracho's are Very Tasty. The Frijoles Borracho's (Drunken Beans) are a classic dish featuring Pinto Beans slow-simmered with Beer, Bacon, and aromatic Vegetables. Other key ingredients are Bacon rendered fat, Garlic, Jalapenos, Tomatoes, Cilantro, and dark Mexican Beer. All of that in a bowl for your enjoyment. And believe me, you will enjoy these. Monica earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award for going 'above-n-beyond' the norm. She checked on us at just the right times and was very pleasant to talk to. She also described how the Steaks were seasoned, prepared, and that the KC Steak is her favorite. She is Awesome. When we left, Henry's was pretty busy, as expected. Maybe they all came for the Steaks. On the way home, we enjoyed another Beautiful San Angelo Afternoon.

    I'm a lifelong fan of Henry's. Growing up, my family would go to Henry's once a week. The chicken…read morefried steak was always my go-to- the flavor is unmatched, meat is tender, and the gravy served with it is the best I've had. When I got older, I started getting the Rosita- 2 cheese enchiladas, 1 beef taco, rice and beans. The sauce on the enchiladas is my favorite. That's still what I order now. I no longer live in San Angelo, so I look forward to having Henry's when I'm visiting for holidays & rave about it to my friends. The Christmas lights inside during the holiday season are beautiful. Prices are good, chips and salsa are always on point. Service is- and always has been friendly and FAST. The food never takes more than 10 minutes to come out, and it's very hot and fresh. Out of probably hundreds of visits, I haven't disliked a single meal at Henry's.

    Tex-mex is SO GOOD HERE! Customer service is impeccable…read more Very friendly and family friendly. I went two days in a row it was so good! Ordered menudo, spicy meat and the nirvana plate. Chips and salsa is good too! Plenty of parking. Homemade tortillas too! Great for large groups too.

    I came to town from California in an emergency to be with my elderly father who was in Shannon ICU…read morethe week before Christmas. I didn't know your town, I drove around looking for Mexican food that could compare to California, until I found this hidden gem. First and foremost the customer service is something I've never experienced in my 42 years of life. As soon as you walked through the door, Brian, greeted me and from that second made me feel like long lost family. Very welcoming. It was a Sunday morning and he asked where I was from, I explained from where and why I was in town. Brian genuinely listened and he offered his prayers. You don't get this kind of service anywhere in California. It's true,Texas, people are so much nicer and hospitality really is something to be admired. I went to pay and Brian stunned me, when he wouldn't take my money and told me that I had bigger things to worry about than paying for my breakfast. After listening to me vent and pray for me and wouldn't take my money. This man really is a good human being. I'm telling you, shocked doesn't explain the feeling at that moment. I watched him interact with other customers and he was the same way being personable. Now the food could have been terrible and I would have still gave a good review just on customer service LOL, but seriously the Menudo was amazing, the broth , patas , homney, tripe and all. I'm a white guy and I come from a Hispanic community in Cali, I know ethnic. This is legit. It is very hard to find really good Menudo, but San Angelo it's right here. Please give his restaurant your business.
