"The staff is super friendly. The food comes out fast, warm, and flavorful. I haven't tried something I didn't like. The best part is the dessert they bring out before you leave."

"My husband, son, and I went there after passing this gem so many times, during lunch hour. The waitress Ariana was so warming and welcoming. She truly was amazing! We each got tacos and the food was tasty, full of flavor. The salsas made the perfect pair to them. The aguas frescas (horchata and tamarindo) were so refreshing and authentic. Needless to say, we’ll be coming back for sure with more family."

"Was recommended to try and was fully rewarded. Very clean and courteous staff. Our server was well informed of the menu and we asked for her recommendations. Dine in and get delicious warm homemade chips with three sauces and three salsas. A pleasing and tasty appetizer precluded our meal. Food was well seasoned and very tasty. I devoured my plate. Service was well timed. And a scrumptious warm dessert bite was presented to us as well. Parking is available and La Herencia has become a regular rotation in our dining out."

"The chilaquiles were perfect honestly. Not soggy - crunchy and flavorful. My personal favorite so far is the bistec a la mexicana which was a huge platter! The horchata is real homemade horchata. Not the artificial stuff. The handmade tortillas were so good. Keep in mind, handmade tortillas are a special for the weekend only! Also it’s a smaller restaurant with plenty of seating but great for take out as well."
