This is a very family oriented restaurant. The staff is friendly and the service is very good. Their Enchilada Nachos are some of the best I have ever eaten.

My wife and I recently visited El Herradero while meeting up with family. There were four of us total. The location isn't too terribly hard to get to but it is off the freeway a little bit. It is worth the drive though. It is in a little building. It is a sit down restaurant but it is very casual.... More

We met here for a brief business meeting, and I'd wished we'd gone somewhere else. Food was just ok - service was average, and the place wasn't all that busy. My co-horts' burrito was enormous, but he said it didn't have much flavor. My enchiladas were soggy, no texture contrast. Their salsa is pretty good, but chips have a little... More

The size of their super burritos would satisfy the appetite of a 1200 pound Grizzly bear. This thing is like 20 inches long and like 3 inches around. It was amazing. LOL I ate 2.

The salsa, it is perfectly spicy, rich and delicious...just like in Mexico, but this is Idaho! The shredded meat is always good in the burritos, nice staff, good cold beer.

Overall I enjoyed the food and service here. The food portion was great for the price, including chips and salsa and beans. The service was good. Would return for Mexican food.

Very small portions and there were dead flies in the window-cill. Our server had a great personality but all she wanted to talk about is her husband being in Mexico and he can't get back into the country. She was polite but hard to understand. This is the last time I will ever go to El Herradero.

Not much on ambiance, but wow the chow! Outstanding, authentic Mexican food at a terrific price. Fast and very friendly service. Burritos the size of your head. Don't miss the Chili Rellenos.
