I couldn't decide between that and the pork in green sauce, so the manager brought me some pork. It was great also, with a slight tangy aftertaste that was delightful. There was so much food that we ate til our stomach hurt.

It was a favorite lunch spot of locals as they came in; the staff greeted many of them by name and knew their favorite drinks without them having to order. They had a large table in the back for groups, and a landscaping crew came in and they could gather in the back and have lunch together! We ordered from the lunch menu and received portions that were extremely large for lunch. I had to pack my taco up to go. Because I could not even start it, I was stuffed with the stuffed pepper. We will be back; it was a nice change-up, fast and friendly service with good food and lunch specials starting at $8.99.

The food was delicious and the service was good and fast. We were in and out in about 30 minutes. So do yourself a favor and skip the fast food line and get a really good homemade meal!

Happy hour every day!

It started when I called in the order. I am working 13 hour days 7 days a week right now, time is…read moreworth a lot. Each Wednesday, on the way home from work, two of my co-workers and myself pick a place to stop and pick up food. In the afternoon I called 3 times and let it ring for minutes each time and no one answered. I tried back a little while later a finally got an answer. I very slowly and concisely read off the 3 orders from the list and the person kept repeating it back to me incorrectly. Finally there was a time when she repeated it correctly and I thought I was safe. When we arrived to pick up our food we were slowed down by the cashier having to add all the orders together to be on one bill. I do not know why that took so long, while it was holding up a group of 8 behind us. My Chile Colorado was horrid. It was not chunks of beef simmered in sauce. It was hard strips with some canned sauce thrown on it. Looks nothing like the picture on their Door Dash. My partner, whom I specifically asked for fajitas tejana, no vegetables, flour tortillas, and only rice and beans, none of the sour cream , lettuce etc.; he got fajitas with all the vegetables, no rice and beans, and no flour tortillas. Thank you La Herradura Mexican Grill for botching something that we looked forward to all week to make our Wednesday night simpler and more enjoyable.

We sat down and were never offered chips and salsa like ever other Mexican restaurant we have been to. The waitresses were more interested in scheduling dates with some young men that were hanging around the front. After we received or food we saw our waitress only once we had to get up from the table twice to get our check and some to go containers. The food was actually very good but the service ruined the dinner experience no type management supervision was around at all. If you're looking for decent Mexican food sure but be prepared for terrible service.
