I was told I couldn't come in with my service dog. I'm legally blind as she is my guide dog. I told them it's illegal to deny me because of ADA and they still told me they don't allow dogs. read more

Good food. Chips were great. Salsa was the best I've had in Dallas. Nice flavor with a smidge of heat. Wide selection includes breakfast at any time. Seat yourself. Quick service. For anyone who thinks el fenix isn't upscale enough, leave this place for the locals. Close to the westmoreland dart station. read more

Great food, great Tex Mex!! Always consistent service and food. This is for the Sylvan location.

My new favorite Mexican restaurant. Honestly my colleges were a little taken back by the bars on the windows so they made me get out and check. Guess we can chalk that up to the Oak Cliff location. They served a complimentary bean soup that was so good we paid for more and I took home some to my hubby. The salsa is wonderfully spicy served with their warm chips and complimentary tortillas. Great food. Super prices. I ordered Sour cream chicken enchiladas combo, off the lunch menu and my meal was under $10 with 20% tip. Can't ask for more than amazing food at a great price. Can't wait to go back and try something else. read more

Herrera's - Complimentary Bean soup is the bomb, we asked for seconds - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Love this small hole in a wall restaurant - they serve charro beans as you wait for your meal. The quesadilla are deep fried with the best ooy-gooy cheese! If you're looking for a delicious Chile Relleno - check this one out! I ate one. Then I ordered another one! read more

Addison location- This place doesn't even get half a star from me. The first time we tried it I vowed to never come back but a friend was buying and we don't have many options at the moment. Food was horrible. Greasy and EXTREMELY salty. Tastes completely different than it does at the Sylvan location. Will definitely eat a can of tuna and crackers before coming here again. The Sylvan location is the best one in my opinion. 2 thumbs down. Had to give one star because my review wouldn't post otherwise read more

Herrera's - Crazy nachos.. crazy greasy and SALTY - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I am also legally blind and use a service dog to navigate everyday life and was denied service at this restaurant. Staff were incredibly rude and when I explained that due to the ADA they could not legally refuse service to me they said they did not care and would not allow me in. I will never attempt to dine here again. It's 2020 DO BETTER and stop being ableist. read more

Very quick service. As soon as your seated your greeted with chips & salsa. Occasionally they give out beans. They are quick to clean a table for the next customer. The food was simple and delicious. Will come back after my first visit! read more

Don't get there 15 minutes to closing they will only give you food to go. I eat there 5-6 times a month and tip 40% but that doesn't get you a table at 7:45 on a Friday night. The website says they are open till 8:30. Not correct obviously. They lost my business today. read more

I wouldn't call Herrera's a "hole in the wall" at all. I've had Tex-Mex all over Texas as an adult the last 36 years and Herrera's is simple, uncluttered, clean and big enough for it's patrons to have a little elbow room. The bathrooms are nice, too. Our server was friendly and efficient. The food is straightforward and definitely perfect Tex-Mex. They like bringing the heat here and we liked it, too. The salsa is smooth and cold with a kick. The free bean soup with peppers and bacon delicious. A large guacamole ($5.95) was well balanced and not over mashed. I had the "John's Special" ($10.95) and my husband had a flavorful spicy pork guiso ($12.95). My dinner had a great cheese enchilada with beef chili gravy and a chunky beef burrito with pico de gallo. Silky refried beans with rice and a warmer with mixed tortillas rounded it out. Why go to El Fenix? Great place right in Oak Cliff and authentic Tex-Mex! read more

Herrera's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Been going here for over 35 years since I was a child and it's still just as great as it was then. A true family business. Best salsa hands down in Texas. Everything on the menu is wonder. I love this place. I really missed Herrera's when I lived in Colorado for 4 years . I had to go as soon as we moved back. We had lunch and I took home 4 jars of their famous salsa. Go to Herrera's. It's the best food in the DFW Metroplex. read more

Went to Herrera's today for lunch and it was a delight. I ordered the sour cream enchilada's and my family members ordered beef enchilada's and cheese and onion enchilada's. Rice and beans are included. It was tasty. The chips and salsa were good. The salsa was pretty spicy which is how I like it and they serve their beverages in huge glasses (like big gulp size!). Which is a good thing in case the heat of the salsa attacks your mouth and you need to quench the "burn". The place has about 15 tables and the service is fast. The guys working there were all friendly and very attentive. They are closed on Tuesdays. If I am in Oak Cliff again I will surely make another stop there :) read more

I just tried out Herrera's here in Addison, on Beltline and Runyon drive, and its all you would expect a Herrerra's to be: great food, great service, with their family's traditional recipes. Chili Relleno was beautifully peeled and blanched before cooking. Rice and beans were on-point, as was the complimentary bowl of beans. These beans work as an amuse-bouche, appetizer, along with their chips and excellent salsa. This family has been in the business for decades, and they know their craft well! The staff is very attentive, and they even check on other's customers to be sure everyone is a winner. Multiple big screen TV's at the bar, where you can dine solo and sample their drinks and beers. Good wifi too. Git on down there and get your Herrera's buzz on! read more

This is the Spot if you are in Dallas visiting or a resident. They have completely revamped the Resturaunt to dela with the pandemic, they check temperatures at the door and have socially distanced the tables. I've gone here since I was a kid, and even in the pandemic they still have the best food. I am so happy can now my kid here! I love this place and I'm so happy they're still going strong! read more

Herrera's is the best Tex-Mex restaurant where I enjoy eating once a week... I always get Chile relleno, and there bean soup I have no words, but they make it just like my Abuela us to make it... overall I rate Herrera's 5 Star for being a family business... I love the idea when I walk in they make you feel at home. The service is great read more

Herrera's - Chile rellenos omg so sooo good, service is always great... have to have this at least once a week - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Could not eat inside at all. Take out only. Was really disappointed bit we were so hungry. Ate our lunch in the car. I so want to return when they open the dining room. read more

Checked temperature at front door. . Dining room was very clean. Polite and professional staff. Chips and charro beans were on the table just as we sat down. Beef chimichanga and chicken quesadillas were delicious. I'll be back for sure read more

Everything is good,this has been a staple of Dallas since before I was born.ive gotten the same thing since I was a kid,enchiladas are so good,the charro beans they start you off with will change your life.i can't wait to go again and I've been like 500 times lol read more

This was my first time here. It's decent. If you order a meal they give you a complimentary cup of bean soup which is pretty good. (Actually it's more like a couple of spoonfuls of soup in a salsa cup) The salsa is EXTRA EXTRA SPICY, chips are good and crispy! I had the 5A on the menu which was one taco, one cheese enchilada, a soft cheese taco, and rice and beans. It was decent. The soft cheese taco is a cooked corn tortilla she'll filled with queso and topped with queso, It was a little disappointing. The taco meat to me taste a little like panchos taco meat..kind of like that soupy taco meat. It's not bad at all, it's got lots of flavor. But if your looking for actual ground meat I'd try the chicken instead. The rice and beans are really good! Even my three year old who is super picky had to let me know how good the rice was! Is for sure go back and try some chicken dishes! read more

Sooooooo delicious! The service is swift and awesome and the food is amazing!!! I had the chicken enchiladas and my fiancé had the the plate with a cheese enchilada and a tamale. My picky toddler devoured her kids meal and then some of our food as well. The salsa is spicy deliciousness in a bowl. It's a hidden gem in Oak Cliff. I will definitely be going back to try more of the platters. read more

Been going since 70's at the tiny one on Maple. Pretty consistently good, but if you can't take HOT salsa be careful.

This restaurant refused to seat my friend who has a guide dog since she is blind. We told them that it is illegal to refuse someone with a guide dog but they didn't care and wouldn't even let her in the building. They were incredibly rude to us and we will never be going back. read more

Best Mexican food in Texas. I've been going here since 1991. It's the go to in my family for Mexican food. The staff is very personable and efficient. They have the best chips and salsa I've had. Homemade tortillas are a must have here. read more

Came on Sat night with my best friend and was seated immediately. Server came and brought chips and salsa- hot for me but she loved. Complimentary bean soup as well. Server was attentive. She ordered the carne guisada I ordered the number 15-taco, enchilada, guacamole tostados. Food was good. Older building kinda hole in the wall but good food. So if you want fancy and pretentious go elsewhere. This is my new neighborhood favorite definitely be back! read more

This place doesn't look very inviting. However the service is great and the food is even better!

Wow, no one has reviewed this Herrera's location? Maybe it has to do with its location. :) Out of all the Herrera's in Dallas, this is, by far, the best. No frills decor, no frills service but the food is damn good. Salsa is one of the best I've had in Dallas. Has a kick but won't burn your insides. At the end of the meal, I was still trying to scrape salsa out of the bowl. I ordered the beef taco plate with rice and beans. The meal was out FAST. My gut reaction is to think....great, this has been sitting on the burner since it was prepared hours ago. Wrong. Everything on the plate was freshly made. While the meat was a tad greasy, I knew effort was thrown into the preparation. I could taste the seasonings and it was really good. The rice and beans were fine...nothing really special about them. For me, it was all about the main dish. I realize tacos are hard to fu*k up. But, believe me, I've had some fu*cked up tacos before. For being an impromptu visit to this location, my first impression was great. I'm willing to drive all the way down to Illinois again for Herrera's. Or, I could ride the DART rail which stops across the street...um, nah. :) read more

Thank you Yelpers for introducing me to such a great establishment! THIS IS A WOW FACTOR AND ALL NEED TO GO! I just adore hole-in-the-wall places especially those that are clean, friendly and the food is absolutely yummy. What else can you ask for? Family owned for decades this restaurant is still standing and going strong! We walked in sat down and within a very short time was asked what we wanted to drink, and we were handed menus. The menu is a bit long I thought at first, but really they give you almost every option for substitution you could want to have. The place was half packed so I liked that. This way I get to look at the food that they bring out and see just what my non picky self would like to eat. Chips and salsa: Are perfect. Chips fresh and not out of a bag. The salsa is actually spicy I love that! Our table ordered the Combo fajitas, Beef taco plate, and the Jessica's special. Wow the food came out in record time. The beef tacos had just the right amount of spice and cooked to perfection. My chicken taco, chicken enchilada and fluta were perfect the taste was so wonderful and cooked to perfection. The fajita's looked amazing came out sizzling and smelling so good and yes they tasted amazing too. Beans and rice let me tell you they make it better then any other establishment I have been too in a long time. Guacamole salad was fresh and Delicious. Not once did we have to ask for drink refills. Hell I know some high end places like Texas that I had to ask for everything. This will be my new place to get Mexican food for sure. I cant wait to try more dishes and yes "I WILL BE BACK" Thank you Herrera's keep up the great work. YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY go get ya some! read more

This is the BEST Mexican food in Dallas! Seriously, the cheese enchiladas (you must get meat sauce) are to die for. TO. DIE. FOR. That's all that really matters. I like a good beef crispy taco, and theirs are a little weird to me. The meat is too mushy. But I can't bear not to give them 5 stars because everything else is so good! But who cares when you can get an enchilada that is the best thing you've ever eaten. Salsa is great too, and the tortillas are the best in town. And I would call my gf and I Mexican food lovers - we've been almost everywhere in Dallas - so we've really compared. And it's BYOB. And not expensive. And a small building. But they are closed on Tues. read more

I went in for lunch, and there were enough cars in the lot to prove to me that this place had patrons. Many people were eating here and must also work nearby, so it's a great place for them to get a quick bite. Customer service was excellent. The food, however, was meh. I liked the salsa, but my sour cream chicken enchilada was bland. And it wasn't a sour cream sauce-more like a dollop of it lobbed on top. If the chicken or verde sauce had been amped up with some peppers, it would be fine to just dab sour cream on top, but that wasn't the case. I know people liked the complimentary bean soup, but mine was not spicy and definitely not a soup. It's just beans with a tiny bit of broth. read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! You walk in... your seating promptly. Then here comes the best tasting Hot Sauce EVER! It is VERY spicy, so eat with caution. The flavor is authentic and true. While you are checking out the menu, there is a waiter that comes along and offers FREE Churro beans! Which are Great! So flavorful with smoked bacon and tender beans. SO tasty & YUMMY YUMMY!! The food is Seriously some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Hands down. I love it so much, I requested that my family take me there for father's day! Out of all the restaurants in the metroplex, I chose to go deep in the heart of Oak Cliff to enjoy Quality Mexican Food that I only long while living nearly a hour away!! The drive is totally worth the experience I get while I am there! I LOVE IT!! OH... I almost forgot to mention. LIGHTNING FAST Service! So many great things to say about this place and not enough characters to write it all. FABULOSO!! read more

It's a beautiful place with nice seating and good character. But the food is just OK. The food was tasty and good, just nothing that elevated it beyond the ordinary. The soft shell crab entree was tasty but minuscule. I think that this place is that it was one of the first decent places to eat in this neighborhood and otherwise as I mentioned nothing extra ordinary, slightly over-priced to grab some food in drink here. read more

Please do note that they are closed on Tuesdays. More than once, I've shown up on a Tuesday. It's not fun. ------------ When you pull into a parking lot filled with police cars, you know you've done something right with your day. I've eaten here countless times, and the enchiladas covered in chili con carne sauce really are the way to go. People are not overexaggerating. Try them. However, this isn't the only tasty thing on the menu. I've tried almost everything and have never left without an incredibly overstuffed belly and a euphoric post happy meal smile on my face. Their guacamole is always fresh, delicious and dealt with a heavy hand. They have numerous combo plates, so it's easy to try four or five things in one meal. You'll pay the same inexpensive prices for lunch and dinner, and like all good Mexican restaurants, you get chips and salsa and bean soup (soup on weekends) before you even order. read more

I would say this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in DFW. It's a hole in the wall place and area but you will be ok. The service here is amazing each time. They are fast and nice. I love their bean soup omg!!! It's to die for. It's more of a spicy soup so if you can't eat spicy beware. Their lunch menu is cheap, fulfilling, and delicious. I love their beef enchiladas, avocado toastados, rice, & basically everything lol. You get free chips and dips and corn flour with butter just ask for it the corn flour though. Their salsa dip is spicy as well. Just writing this review is making me hungry. read more

Don't mind the location, this is the best Tex-Mex/Mexican restaurant in Oak Cliff!! The restaurant is family owned and the staff is nice. The service is so fast you'll freak!! You'd think with service that fast the food would be made hours before but trust me, that is not the case here! Food is always hot and freshly made. "Careful, the plates hot" is the common expression. By the way, the salsa that they give to you with chips is no joke! This my friends is how salsa should be when going to ANY Mexican, Tex/Mex place! None of that mildly sweet paste. This place has yet to disappoint me, and I've been coming here for around three years. Won't hurt you to give it a try! They are closed Tuesdays so be warned! I made the mistake of going on a Tuesday only to be let down, silly me! read more

Foods authentic, descent portions. Nice prices. Chimichanga n enchiladas my favs. I've returned several times.

I've been to this Herrera's a half dozen times and not once did this hole-in-the-wall place disappoint. The free chips and salsa are delicious. In fact, we would sometimes wish the speedy food service would take a little longer so that we could enjoy the chips more. The food is great for Tex-Mex standards. Enchiladas, tacos, chiles rellenos, it's all good. A good amount of police officers dine here, so you know it's a decent place. (Although, if you have a warrant for your arrest, you may want to steer clear..) If you're ever in this part of town and you're itching for Tex-Mex, then this is a great place to go. read more

There used to be a Herreras in The Colony and Carrollton but both closed. One of my favorite Tex-Mex restaurants. Sure did miss eating here. From the Tejano music to the excellent food. The Charro Beans are the BOMB.COM good!!! Lookie this place. read more

This place has History, Hometown culture, personality, great food & above all quality service. A given when it comes to an Oak Cliff staple and definitely a place you should stop by and visit if you're in the area! The food is largely portioned Tex mex and the drinks all come served in giant cups so be prepared to feast. The service is above the best. Cool murals on the walls and rich atmosphere. Might look small from the outside but that is part of Herrera's charm! read more
