One of Lufkin''s popular lunch spots, lunch specials are offered here so of course my coworkers and…read moreI hit this place up when we have an assignment in Lufkin. The Tex-Mex options here involve your normies such as enchiladas, quesadillas, burritos, fajitas, nachos, and tacos. All of these (or a combination of these) are part of the express lunch menu which is what we usually order. Most of the time, people in our group get some sort of enchiladas with the favorites being the avocado or the verde due to the sauces and cheesiness mixed in. The avocado is probably my favorite since I'm an avocado lover with the taste and texture. Other favorites are the street tacos where it comes with three tacos and the rice and beans. These tacos are quite large so it's not the traditional mexican street tacos with the onions/cilantro on the miniature tortillas. They are also packed and I mean PACKED with proteins; I've only gotten the al pastor cause I keep coming back to it. Something about it that makes it addicting with the tenderness of the meat and spices. We'll have to try dinner here sometime cause they have quite the selection of entrees such as the drunken shrimp, fajita platter, and pollo poblano. Bueno Trabajo Herraduras!

I visited this place today -- only my second time here. When I first sat down, before I'd even…read morelooked at the menu, I asked for some green sauce and the waitress brought it. Later I asked for another, and that's when I was told it's $1 per bowl. I declined and told her I wouldn't have ordered the first one had I known there was a charge. I assumed they'd use a little common sense and not charge me for something I was never told cost extra -- but they did. I spoke with a woman in a blue shirt at the counter (who appeared to be a manager) and told her that this $1 bowl of green sauce earned them a one-star review because of the hidden fee. She refused to give me her name, though she had no problem giving me someone else's when I asked for a manager's contact. To be honest, the food isn't great anyway. I won't be back -- all over a dollar and the principle behind it. They must have really needed that dollar, because they chose this review instead of simply not taking it from me.

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!

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.
