On the road and got hungry, looked this place up and decided to give it a try…read more The staff was friendly. They produce warm chips with two types of sauces. The green salsa with a little creamy with a bit of a kick to it, while the red salsa with very condiment it and well prepared, was not spicy but had a lot of flavor. We decided to order a fajita burrito and a fajita Torta.. they were out of the torta bread so my husband opted for nachos. The food was pretty decent sized. The burrito had a little too much beans in it and not enough meat but was well seasoned. The nachos were a bit if a disappointment due to the amount of grease. The ones on top were good but halfway through he just couldn't get through it.. the chips were soaked in the grease. The cheese sauce was good on the top nachos just mixed too much with the grease towards the middle/bottom. If we were to pass by the small town again we would probably stop by, they had great music and the food was brought out fast.. The restaurant was clean too. A bit of advice.. stay away from the candy at the cash register, it's old lol. I bought a Carlos V chocolate and it was so old I just threw it away.

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!

Honestly this place was fire! I wasn't expecting it to be all that from the outside (right next to…read morea cici's pizza) but walked inside and it was nice. The booths were tall and secluded so that's a plus and the food was amazing. The salsa they served was so good, I had to force myself not to eat it all with the chips and the main dish itself was so fresh and flavorful. I got the California bowl and my husband got a chicken plate and it was just great. For the price and the portion size, everything was on point. I got the non alcoholic cucumber drink and that was fresh too. The staff was nice and attentive. The food did take some time to come out but it's because everything was so fresh and definitely worth the wait.

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!

This place is fantastic! It feels like a trip back in time to when Tex-Mex was affordable and…read moreportions were generous. The value here is truly refreshing. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant is spotlessly clean, making it extremely family-friendly. While the margarita is just average--not bad, but strong enough --the food more than makes up for it. The quesadillas are amazing at just $14 for eight pieces. Many places only offer four triangles at the same price or more, but not here. They're packed with cheese, and the steak and chicken are tender and juicy. We also tried the Dirty Donkey, a hefty beef burrito smothered in their delicious chili gravy, served with beans and rice, and a Crunchy taco for only $13. Plus, I had the two-taco combo plate, which included an enchilada (I chose cheese) and a tamale, and beans and rice all covered in chili gravy. I opted for a crunchy beef taco and a soft chicken taco. That was a great value, with a ton of food for around $14. I can't wait to return the next time I'm in the area!

I visited this place today -- only my second time here. When I first sat down, before I'd even…read morelooked at the menu, I asked for some green sauce and the waitress brought it. Later I asked for another, and that's when I was told it's $1 per bowl. I declined and told her I wouldn't have ordered the first one had I known there was a charge. I assumed they'd use a little common sense and not charge me for something I was never told cost extra -- but they did. I spoke with a woman in a blue shirt at the counter (who appeared to be a manager) and told her that this $1 bowl of green sauce earned them a one-star review because of the hidden fee. She refused to give me her name, though she had no problem giving me someone else's when I asked for a manager's contact. To be honest, the food isn't great anyway. I won't be back -- all over a dollar and the principle behind it. They must have really needed that dollar, because they chose this review instead of simply not taking it from me.
