I had a quick bite to eat last night at Las Herraduras, located just over the O Street viaduct at First and O. It sits in a smallish multi-unit building, though the restaurant itself is fairly spacious. The interior is wide open with a rustic, Western theme. All of the seating is at tables and chairs; I think they would do well to add booths along at least some of the walls, if the opportunity arises.
We were the only ones in the restaurant when we first arrived (shortly after 5:00pm), so service was quick and friendly. The menu isn't professionally done, but you will find all of your favorites within: burritos, enchiladas, tamales, and so on. They even had menudo on the menu, something most local Mexican restaurants only serve occasionally. Prices were pretty standard for this class of restaurant, ranging from around $7.00 to $12.00 for most meals. They also have a $6.99 lunch special from 11:00am until 2:00pm.
I have been on a chimichanga kick lately, so that's what I ordered. The chimichangas at Las Herraduras are served much differently than I expected. It contained chicken and cheese, and it was topped with a white cheese sauce. On the side were rice, beans, and pico. It was tasty, but it wasn't quite my style so I would probably order something different next time. My dining companions ordered: a chimichanga; enchiladas; and a chile relleno. They all enjoyed their meals.
I would like to go back to Las Herraduras when I'm not quite so rushed, but for now it doesn't look like it will make my regular rotation. Still, it's a place to keep in mind if you are in the neighborhood. I could definitely see myself stopping by before or after a game at Haymarket Park.
