In a desperate and unfruitful search for real Mexican food, we stumbled upon Herraduras. The chips…read moreand salsa starter prepped us for an amazing meal. Being from San Diego, CA, we know what real Mexican food is. Every place we've been to has been one sad experience after another, with everyone attributing it to 'Tex-Mex'. I'm so glad Herraduras does not apply themselves to this blunder. Their food is the most authentic we have found in this area. This is a go-back place.

The corn dip is so ridiculously delicious! Has 3 meats cheese and corn and damn! The birria tacos, the enchiladas, the street tacos are all so awesome! We have not had a bad meal here yet and definitely hope it stays that way! I'm sure it will though due to the clientele that never seem to stop coming back! We have lived in Lufkin for 9 months now and have never tried another Mexican spot because we like it so much!!

We took advantage of the free chips and salsa rewards--those chips were warm and crisp, and definitely hit the spot! Our server was super sweet and took our drink orders while we figured out what to get. We didn't think to snap any pictures, but we enjoyed burgers, quesadillas, triple dippers, and a grilled chicken salad. The food arrived quickly, and everyone left satisfied. Great spot for a group get-together!

I will not give you a long review…read more This is a chain restaurant. Sign up for their frequent eaters program and get at least free chips and salsa or a free drink. Chain restaurants always get 3 stars from me unless they do something crazy good or crazy bad. I did not have any issues while dining. My server was really attentive. They may have some type of lunch special or overall special/promotion going, so check their website before going. Plan to increase your back accordingly. You can pay your entire bill via a tablet at the table. It's a chain restaurant, people. This is slow fast food!

I was visiting some friends in the area and stopped in since it was the closest restaurant…read more From the outside, I wasn't sure what to expect but once inside, I was impressed The atmosphere was lively with lots of patrons at the bar, and everyone seemed genuinely engaged and enjoying themselves. The staff were fantastic. Friendly, welcoming, and super informative. Once they found out I was from out of town, they even gave me a tour of the place, which was awesome. They have a huge venue in the back that's very, very impressive Perfect for events or gatherings. In the front, they've got billiards and a shuffleboard table, making it a great spot to hang out beyond just dining. I had a couple of beers and ordered the quesadillas and a burger to go both were excellent. The bartenders were awesome, and the owner was on-site, clearly invested in both his team and ensuring every guest feels welcomed and taken care of. I'd only planned to grab my food to go but ended up staying well over an hour chatting with everyone This place is a hidden gem with a great vibe, great food, and even better people. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Thisnis for thier First St in Downtown Lufkin Location…read more We always give a place two visits just in case the first visit was a fluke. Our first visit we ordered wings and pizza. The wings were pretty good but the pizza was cold. This visit everything was unbelievably slow. It didn't seem that busy. The music was so loud that we couldn't hear the waitress, nor could she hear us without leaning over the table. We ordered the BBQ Pizza and the Brisket Nachos. When we got them they were cold. We told the waitress about it and asked for to-go containers so we could leave and heat the food ourselves. We just didn't want to be there anymore. We got a brief sorry about that and our check. I can get over a long wait for food, but not if you give me cold food. That being said, the pizza did taste pretty decent. However, it seemed a bit meager for a meal portion. I would have considered it an appetizer. I want to like the place and I want to encourage locally owned eateries. But you have to bring your A game.
