My wife had the cachete tacos and it was very juicy. I've been to too many Mexican restaurants with dry meat, but this was fresh and flavorful. We've eaten Mexican in Lufkin and it was ok, but this is worth the side trip out as it tastes much more authentic. We got to meet the owner too and she was very friendly. We will definitely be going here again!

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!

What I'm sad about is the prices that they have gone to. Ouch yes the food was good and they gave you plenty but it's not a high-end restaurant and they have gone a little bit crazy. I don't know if they still have lunch specials, but I won't be getting dinner there anytime soon. I know the cost of everything has gone up, but most of us didn't get that with our income so if you want to keep your customers, you might want to rethink the prices of some of your basic items

But this place is seriously so delicious. I had the pleasure of having the entire restaurant to myself it was nice and cool, good in escaping that Texas heat. I ordered a breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon, potatoes, onions, cheese and refried beans. The plate came out with a little bed of lettuce, a tomato slice, and a slice of avocado. I am usually super picky about my veggies as restaurants but again, wow, the flavor of my burrito, the salsa, and the fresh avocado and tomato to die for. My boyfriend and I are new to the area and I can't wait to show him this place we will be regulars. Delicious. Authentic. Hidden Gem with a wonderful waitstaff.
