Herrera's Restaurant

Tornado? What tornado? We were so busy dining at Herrera's last night, we couldn't be bothered with the weather.

Located at 5427 Denton Drive (there are several listings, so don't be confused), this local isn't much to look at.
The inside is a huge space with an arcade, which the husband got excited about, a juke box, a bar, which I got excited about, and then tons of tables and booths. It's not fancy, but it's so good - who cares? Remember when Mia's was less trendy and more neighborhood - that's what this place is about. Easy parking, good food, respectable prices, kind service - we loved it.


They served our hot sauce in containers similar to IHOP's syrup dispensers. Everyone got their own bowl. It's so hot, your eyes water, but man, is it flavorful! The queso was the perfect consistency, very smooth and not heavy. Flavored by the peppers, it managed to be the star of the table.

(Queso accompanied by Herrera's Bean Soup)

Complimentary bean soup was brought, along with house made tortillas. Both were amazing. The bean soup, complete with bacon, was very temperature hot. But my tongue was so scorched from the hot sauce, I didn't even mind.

The cheese enchiladas were perfectly done. The con-carne sauce tasted authentic and wasn't overly tomato packed. The cheese taco was similar to an enchilada covered with queso. Can't go wrong there. The guacamole tostada was the only disappointing feature, but I was so full, I didn't even mind.


The combo fajitas arrived sizzling and with the biggest set-up I've ever seen. Mounds of real cheese, guacamole, sour cream, beans, rice...it was too much for one man to eat.
The rice almost tasted stir fried, but with the salsa-flavor that Spanish rice always has. I've never had rice this delicious.


The two TV's were set to ESPN - we were happy campers.
Definitely headed back.
