"Very good food & service. I wish I'd gotten the name of our waitress so I good give her a shout out. Both myself & my wife though she was really on top of things. Food was excellent. I HIGHLY recommend the Molcajeta de Herradura. Slightly spicy, very slightly , but tons of food,...I'm a big guy & can eat. Couldn't finish it...almost, but not finished. Wife had enchiladas - also substantial in quantity & very flavorful per my wife. Margaritas were delicious...bot regular & strawberry. Pretty wide drink selection Restaurant is clean, modern & well laid out."

"I've been here twice and will keep coming back. The food is always so fresh and filling for the price you pay. Their chorizo queso is highly recommended as the appetizer. It tastes amazing! Worth the price! Staff is very welcoming and gives excellent service. It's a nice place to have dates, hangout with family, or even dine by yourself."

"I have been to La Herradura in Silvis several times since they have been open. This review is of mixed opinion. I enjoy going to the Silvis location but had an experience recently that needs to be made aware of to those paying cash. We paid our bill with cash and the waitress, Nancy, said she would be back with our change. When she did not return we got up to go to front and met Nancy at the desk to get a bag for our leftovers. She did not offer our change back. Instead of making a big deal we left. Our bill was $45 and gave her $60. I want to point out she did a great job and was attentive. Usually, I tip between 20 to 25%. I understand times are tight but as a consumer I want to spend my dollars and I seek out great places with great experiences. I also work in a tip base industry and understand the value of tipping to service people. However, I have never taken advantage of my guest. In order to make a couple extra dollars. Instead, I'd rather have them coming back. My experience at La Herradura started exceptional but ended in disappointment. The food was great and arrived timely. The atmosphere was busy and loud. I am not sure when I will be back but will give the restaurant another try in distant future. In the meantime, there are other restaurants in the area where I can spend my money where I enjoy the whole experience and will not be taken advantage of."
