    This is ONE meat lover's taco! Huge and delicious!
    Ann M.

    The food here is excellent, and the price point is, too. I had the meat lovers taco, and ordered two of them, only to find out that one (at less than $8) is really like a double taco, with two tortillas. So I ate one, splitting the meat and pico across the two tortillas, which was really ample and delicious, and took the other home for later. My only complaint is that there was a line at the counter when we walked in, and because of that we didn't realize they had menus on the counter. We sat down at a table, and with no QR code or other way to look at the menu, we pulled out our phones and were trying to do it online without much success (several sites had difference versions, and with no descriptions). It wasn't until a staff member came out from the counter and asked us if we were okay that we explained this, then she brought us some menus and was super-helpful. My husband had a beef burrito, served with rice and beans, and also said his was excellent. One other bonus - root beer as a choice in the pop dispenser! Yum!

    4 of the $1.50 mini steak tacos
    Pete R.

    Been a while since my last visit and the prospects of $1.50 steak tacos for National Taco Day was the bait I needed. Late in the lunch hour the place was pretty crowded (predictably including several hungry college guys) but I noticed pretty quick the change to the place from a traditional table service model to counter service. It was spacious enough with 12+ mixed sized tables where diners can park for the two big screens of pretty authentic Mexican fare. This was not a day to branch out with one of my old fave hurraches, this day was all about the asada! As pictured although smaller than usual, these 3-4 bite beauties were crisped and flavorful with not too much onion and cilantro. This becomes more important here now that a salsa/toppings 'buffet' has been set up along the back wall. Three or 4 salsas, pico, pickled/no -pickled veggies like cactus radish and jalapeños. Given the size of the tacos I must admit to loading up a bit and really enjoyed the mix of textures and spicy flavors. I was also happy to find a selection of (mostly) Mexican beers (or glass bottle Coke) behind that counter, available to wash it all down. So while it seems like we already make or eat tacos twice a week, we need to make sure to squeeze this place back into the rotation! 4.2-stars

    Awesome tacos!

I love that tacos are so de-rigure that they forgot to even add them to the menus (that's been fixed)! Their Pastor is fantastic, the service friendly (they even limp along and tolerate my bad Spanish), and the salsas are bright and flavourful! They have an extensive "pesces" menu (perhaps aimed at ovservant Friday and Lenten Catholics) of seafood offerings--I cannot speak to them further, as I was raised beside the Pacific Ocean and do not eat seafood 2000 miles away from the sea. The ambience is typical of a taco-joint: formica tables and sliding chairs; nothing fancy, but not a place you'd loathe eating. They do a swift business at primary meal times; but I have never had to wait for a table or had food to take too long to arrive. Carry-out is similarly swift whether you order ahead (online pr by phone) or pop in for takeaway. They accept card payments; including tap. There is an offering of beers and traditional "aquas Frescas," like horchata and jamaica, as well as some Jaritos sodas and Coke products. Very handy spot worth a couple visits a month for sure.

    Look, I've been patronizing Mexican joints in Bloomington-Normal since antes de que fuera cool, and…read moreI need to talk about what's happening at Herradura. THE GOOD: The service here operates at quantum speeds. I'm talking food-to-table in approximately 5 minutes. Did they have a DeLorean in the kitchen? Did they start cooking when I pulled into the parking lot? I don't know, but physics was definitely involved. The presentation looked solid--everything arrived hot and reasonably photogenic. THE "WAIT, WHAT?": Friends, we need to discuss the Great Portion Shrinkage of 2026. Herradura has apparently discovered the restaurant industry's worst-kept secret: instead of raising prices a reasonable amount, just slash 10% off the menu and reduce portions by 35%. It's like getting a "discount" on a car, but they removed the back seats and the radio. The chimichangas arrived looking like they'd been on a strict juice cleanse--smaller than expected and committing the cardinal sin of sogginess. These weren't the crispy flavor bombs I remember. They were more like... flavor water balloons? Still edible, but not exactly chimichanga hall-of-fame material. THE CHEESE TAX: Here's where things got personal. I've been a loyal "little extra cheese on the rice" guy for years. Today? Nearly FIVE DOLLARS for what amounts to 4 tablespoons of queso. That's approximately $127 per pound if my mental math is correct (it's not, but you get the point). I've seen cheaper cheese at artisanal farmer's markets run by bearded hipsters in suspenders. The beef tacos were... fine. That's the review. Fine. They existed. They were tacos. Moving on. THE VERDICT: On the Bloomington-Normal Nickel-and-Dime Scale™, Herradura ranks on the lower end, which is actually saying something in this town where inflation is hitting Mexican restaurants like they personally offended the economy. Will I be back? Yes. Will it be soon? No. Next time I'm trying the cheesesteak because apparently I'm a glutton for punishment and also curious if it comes in "fun size" now too. Pro tip: Bring your own cheese. Save $5. Live your best life. Also i turned macro mode on for my camera. Objects look bigger than they appear in person. Atmosphere: 4/5 | Service: 5/5 | Food Quality: 3/5 | Value: 2/5 | Portion Size: 1.5/5

We like this place just as much as the more upscale East side joints...and ya know what...it's a bit cheaper and seems to stay pretty busy despite its 'back of the strip mall/behind a tire shop' location. Pretty fast efficient service too all things considered.

Being from South Texas I am very picky about Mexican food. The $2.99 Margaritas on Tuesday were absolutely delicious. I had the Taco Bowl, can't mess that up, and it was really good, the taco shell perfectly fried. It was supposed to have beans inside with the ground meat but my bowl did not have the beans. Another reason for a four-star rating. My husband ordered the fajita quesadilla expecting a round tortilla cut in triangles just like in Texas. That is not what he got. It was more like a large flour taco stuffed with the fajita meat (nicely seasoned might add) and folded over with melted cheese on top. It was just okay, the plate came with rice but no beans which is weird to me. The place was fairly occupied. Nice inside with music playing in the background. Sits nearby to a highway and a Super Walmart. Pretty convenient because we walked over from our hotel room. I recommend to give it a try. Two plates of food along with 4 margaritas(2 each) the bill was $43.87 not too bad for dinner nowadays.

We sat for over 20 minutes before we asked someone for drinks- then another ten minutes until we asked someone to take our order. A couple behind us didn't wait as long and got up and walked out. Not going back until I hear it's improved. Also, I'm sure they over charged us at the checkout stand - since the guy who did take our order had it on his handheld device and there wasn't a printed check to review. I'm kinda done with this place.
