Good value. friendly service and decent food at an affordable "diner" price point. For top Mexican/Southwest try Lolita's in Byram CT near Tarry Lodge. Bring money.

To me a chain is a franchised restaurant or nationally/regionally corporately owned restaurant group whereas Herradura is a single operator (I assume) that now has expanded to several fairly local locations. Not sure what number of outlets moves the single operator multi-location, restaurant into the corporately owned category. For example, is Q now a chain because it has two restaurants? To me no. This has probably been discussed on the General Chowhounding topics so probably moderator will move this. Sun Nov 08 09:15:38 -0800 2009 5164783 48135 laylag 4 5165460 Hi. Yes, for any further discussion about what constitutes a chain, please start a thread on the Not About Food board. However, a "chain" that is situated in a geographic area covered by a regional board, such as this one, should be discussed on that board. Thanks.

I didn't find anything particularly interesting on the menu (nothing really different from the standard stuff), but it was tasty. I liked their refried beans (they had a little tang to them). Taking forever to get the liquor license. It was good enough the first time to go back. Service is very friendly. Mon Nov 09 11:07:33 -0800 2009 5163270 116495 Avalondaughter
