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 restaurant has always…read morebeen clean everywhere that we have sat, the alcoholic drinks have been great and the staff super accommodating and wonderful and the food... the food bomb! 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!!

I got a burrito with a side of guacamole, as well as an horchata. Everything was fresh and tasty, and I enjoyed that the horchata was not overly sweet, just right.

I've had to go back up there countless sometimes because they forgot something or they loaded me up with the wrong sauce, but most of the time it's good it's just they need to start paying more attention to their orders and what people ask for.

Is Taco Bell the best? No. Is Taco Bell affordable? Also, no. But they are consistently pretty good…read moreand no one in my house ever complains when we place an order. I always order ahead so the service is on point and the wait time is minimal. I would like the prices to go back to what they used to be, but that goes for everywhere, so it's not just a Taco Bell price gouging thing. There are certainly better options for the same type of food in Lufkin, but the convenience and consistently good quality keep Taco Bell in our lineup of options when we're feeling the need for some take-out.

If it's homemade and flavorful the food generally doesn't disappoint. The salsa had a smoked chili flavor (a little thin to my taste) but excellent. The tortillas were fresh and the plate generous. Their beans were a style I haven't encountered before. Full off pork fat pieces for flavor and very good. They have a very interesting dessert place in the back. Don't miss!! When in doubt America- go off highway and enjoy local adventures.
