If you're near Kings Dominion and craving Mexican food, you've got to try this place! It's beautifully decorated and has plenty of seating, so you don't feel cramped even when it's busy. We ordered the Enchiladas Yucatan and Enchiladas Mexicanas.. both were absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, and the quality was spot on. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Service was quick, and the staff was super polite. What really stood out was that even the manager came by to check on us and make sure everything was good. You can tell they genuinely care about customer satisfaction. Definitely a great spot to relax and enjoy a good meal after a fun day at Kings Dominion, or if you're in Virginia or just passing by and hungry like we were haha :) read more

If you are going to Kings Dominion you will quickly find out your food choices are limited in the area. Luckily we found this place on Yelp to get a great dinner. Lots of great food choices, good prices with a friendly amd attentive staff. Our meal was great, we saw someone getting fresh guac made at their table that looked amazing. We might be headed there for a second night as well. read more

Unassuming, attached to Red Roof Inn, but what a hidden gem of a restaurant! My sister visits on her long drives up the East coast, and I wish I had the opportunity to do so, too. Great portion sizes, fresh food, prompt and kind service. read more

This was a pretty solid Mexican restaurant! From the outside it doesn't look like much, but it was great! The interior has some fun decorations and music and lots of space. The staff were really friendly and our waiter anticipated our needs. None of us were drinking but the margaritas and other cocktails looked amazing! The chips and salsa were good. We got dinner combos, which were definitely enough food and it was nice to pick exactly what you wanted. The beans and rice were great. I think the best thing was the chile relleno- not over breaded, delicious cheese, just great. This is a great Mexican option in the area. read more

Pretty good spot and we would come again! Attached to a small motel which was a concern but once inside it was spacious, open and clean. It is right next to the Kings Dominion amusement park so if you're looking for something after leaving this should be your spot. We tried the taco salad, chicken enchiladas and chicken tacos. All average to above average Tex-Mex. Service was pleasant if not a bit slow. Enjoy! read more

My family needed to appease four very different eaters right after Kings Dominion and this place nailed it. Absolutely delicious, joyfully decorated, relatively fast food preparation (we selected shrimp fajitas, carne asada, and pizza...oh kids) , and friendly staff. Yes, it is hidden off the highway next to a Red Roof Inn. So what? The food is excellent! read more

10/10! Blown away by the service and the quality/size of the food! This spot is right next to Kings Dominian and perfect if you're on I-95 and looking for a place to stop. The portion size is crazily huge - we're talking HUGE. And, the food is incredibly fresh and well priced. Two dishes can definitely feed 3-4 people. The service is amazing as well. I was surprised by what a great restaurant it was considering that the location is a little out of nowhere (and from the outside, you wouldn't expect much). But definitely is a go-to spot for me. read more

Food and margaritas were delicious! We were a little worried when we followed our GPS to this restaurant. It takes you a route that makes you think you're heading into the park! Once you get to the parking lot, it's attached to a hotel. We thought, "oh boy" but we were super hungry. Don't let all that deter you! The food was amazing. The service was better than most high end restaurants. We will be back! read more

La Herradura Authentic Mexican Restaurant - Margarita and a Jalapeño Margarita- they both were flaming. Super cool! - Mexican Near Me - Doswell, Virginia

Wow--just wow! We stopped in before a concert, and this turned out to be one of the BEST Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. The drinks were incredible, the service was fantastic, and the food was absolutely outstanding. Everything was so delicious it almost didn't feel real. I only wish this place was closer to me, but I'll definitely be back anytime I'm in the area for the amusement park or another concert. Highly recommend--truly a 10/10 experience! read more

Huge portions! Loved the Herradura Fajitas and Mango Chili Margarita. Lots of options on kids menu too. read more

Food is great (except for the beef tacos-no flavor at all). Portions are good. Very friendly staff but don't be in a hurry. Service is slow. read more

The food was so GOOD! Plus the margaritas! We had the table side guacamole. You are able to see the server make it at the cart, so if you are picky tell your server what you want in yours. We loved it! We also had the combination fajita, shrimp tacos and a shrimp dish that was cooked in garlic. We were all licking our place. I definitely recommend this restaurant; the outside is deceiving so do not let that distract you from enjoying good Mexican food. read more

Great prices! Super friendly staff. Did a good job accommodating a celiac. Good was fast and authentic. Got the lunch special burrito and a kids tenders meal. Fresh, fast and friendly. Would gladly return. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant after going to Kings Dominion, as it's only a 1 minute drive from the park. We were happily surprised by the quality of the food! We shared the lunch special burrito with mixed steak and chicken and it was more than enough for the 2 of us (and for a reasonable $12!). They also kept it coming with the free chips and salsa! Will be back next time we head to Kings Dominion. read more

When I first pulled up to La Herradura Authentic Mexican Restaurant, tucked between two rinky-dink hotels, I genuinely thought I was in the wrong place. But trust me, don't let the unassuming exterior fool you. This spot is a legit hidden gem. First off, you can get a massive 32oz margarita to-go, which is already a win in my book. And we're not talking some watered-down, sad excuse for a drink. This was delicious - and strong - made even better with fresh citrus slices and a tamarind mixing straw. Perfection. I went with the a la carte tacos, which automatically came on corn tortillas, which is perfect for someone like me who avoids gluten. And the food? So good. Fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want from an authentic Mexican spot. If you're in the area (or hitting up King's Dominion), definitely make a stop. It might not look like much from the outside, but once you're inside, you'll be glad you gave it a shot. read more

Our food was brought out to us quickly, both dishes were delicious. I had the steak chimichanga burrito and my wife had the chicken chimichanga burrito. Large portions, reasonably priced and Happy Hour beers were half price. We don't live in the area, but if we did we'd be frequent customers read more

Delicious steak fajitas for two. Ricardo took great care of us. Margaritas were great. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back when we're in the neighborhood. read more

After a long day from Kings Dominion, we were hungry so this was the best stop ever!! This has been one of the best restaurants I've gone. I got served the best quesadillas, enchiladas, and rice and beans I've ever tasted. The service is amazing, with the server Richard making you feel incredibly welcomed & also Sandra sweetly checking up on you to ensure everything is perfect. Dining here is always a delightful experience thanks to their exceptional food and warm, attentive staff. The prices are also really GOOD! read more

Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! The food was some of the best Mexixan food we've had in a very long time. It was well seasoned, the meats were tender, and everything was flavorful. The margaritas were really good too. The service was friendly and fast. The space is what I'd describe as a dive (it's in an old Denny's that's attached to a motel) but it's clean and well kept. We'll definitely drop by again next time we're in the area. read more

I was starving and ordered chili rellenos. The sauce was good but the batter was way too thick and dry. I flaked off the batter, ate the inside and was still starving so I ordered tacos. They managed to mess up the tacos. The shells were burnt and the beef was WAY too salty. Good service though. No bad feelings but really bad food. First time in my life I had bad tacos. read more

very nice service and staff we were treated really good by Sandra she's a really good person I recommend this restaurant to anyone

Price is right. Lunch was wonderful. My wife and I had fajitas. They were done nicely. The waiter and manager made us feel very welcome. It was like being in France. When we looked across the parking lot, we could see the EFILE read more

Absolutely AMAZING!!! We did not go in with high expectations since good Mexican food is hard to come by in VA and were quickly blown away, easily the best Mexican food i've had in this state. The service was very welcoming and good, with the vibe of the building being comforting even with the renovations. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more
