    Fried Mexican rice and beans
    Hayli C.

    Neat restaurant. The decor is beautiful. The food was good but nothing out of this world. Service was good. The shrimp was over cooked and the veggies were under in the tortilla soup. Just not super impressed. Chips and salsa were good!

    Ok, puffy taco not bad, definitely less tortilla and not so hard as a hard smell taco. Also having the chicken fried chile relleno that is actually different but very good. I didn't care for rice or refried beans, they were not what im used to, to me it was bland. I had a prikly pear on the rocks, very good! Sat in bar area, very nice, clean, not to bright with lights, very romantic feel with beautiful Mexican decor. It would have been perfect with some mexican music, but mostly non-latinos eating here, so i get it. Service was good, they did check on me a good amount. Thank you. Its very big inside, great for large groups. Plenty of parking, clean bathroom. Great service at the bar.

    My last review for Miguel's was March 1. The day I buried my Mom. (Sad face) I've since been back- Easter, Mother's Day- Father's Day- and Thanksgiving . I don't live in Abilene. But I won't fail to stop by and enjoy the food here. April- 2 spinach enchiladas: ugly as sin- but delicious. ($13) May- camarones de brochette- like a bacon wrapped shrimp fajita. It's soooo good . ($25) June- Shrimp and chicken fajitas ($21) I didn't get any sizzling videos- but I assure you. They sizzled. And were amazing. November- Camarones de Brochette. Went DOWN IN PRICE!! (What?!??) $24 These folks can fuss it up. But not enough to scare me away. I continue to recommend.

    This was my first time here and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I feel like Mexican restaurants are so hit or miss because some of them just royally suck. So my expectations weren't high. But everything was great!! The flautas were great and the fajitas were also great. What I loved was they gave you fajitas for a person not fajitas for a whole group. The service was also fantastic!!! I didn't love the fruit fresh margarita the triple sec just was not my vibe but other than that it was great!!

    Second visit- Sopa de Tortilla

    This is my second time here, and this is my edited review: I am curious to know if Miguel's is a local restaurant or a chain. However, I would recommend this place for several reasons: 1) The atmosphere. They have invested in the details and in honoring the Mexican heritage. They play Mexican music (classics) but not loud, allowing you to converse while enjoying your food. 2) The patio is gorgeous! The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing, with dimmed lights, beautiful furniture, and fountains. 3) The food is affordable, but it is not cheap. What I mean is that they offer quality for a reasonable price. The chicken fajita and two chicken soups totaled 42 dollars, including tea. Our waitress was fantastic; I did not catch her name, but she was funny, fast, and charismatic. (She had an accent from Argentina). We had a great experience, and I would return and recommend it to friends.

    We always ho to Miguel's for a couple drinks and chips and salsa. It's a great atmosphere in the Bar. Everyone is soo friendly. Shootout to Jason for being a Great fast and friendly waiter. The Lg Guacamole and the Sampler Platter is great. I do like the Carne Asada steak, it is most excellent.

    Love Miguel's. Their servers are friendly and efficient. Our margaritas were cold and tasty. Our lunches came out quickly and my spinach enchilada was excellent. Reasonably priced, fun decor and clean restrooms. We will be back soon.

    Decor

    First stop upon arriving to visit family. Love the decor and many selections on the menu. From the chips and salsa to the enchiladas and tacos we had our fill of good TexMex and leftovers to snack on later. The queso and guacamole were really good.

    Service was great! We had the brisket taquitos and steak fajita nachos. The taquitos were awesome, however the nachos were disappointing. For almost $17 they should've been better. Each nacho was a half of a TACO SHELL. They were soggy, and I'm sorry but when you serve taco shells for nachos it's off putting. Did you run out of actual chips? I've had their nachos before and loved them, I don't know what was going on with them tonight and why anyone would use taco shells. Other than that it was good.... But if you're charging almost $17 for nachos you really need to rethink what you're serving.

    Tex Mex restaurants are a thing of the past and this restaurant is great example of outdated decor and food. Food sucks!

    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!
