La Herradura

I was recently in Artesia, and we ate dinner one evening at La Herradura (LH). LH is a restaurant that is literally on the other side of the tracks in a poor part of Artesia; however, do not let that deter you! The food is great, and the price is superb, especially compared to the price of New Mexican food in a larger city. I had a combination plate that included a taco, a rolled enchilada, and a chile relleno; with that, beans and rice were included. The cost? $10.50. The taste was super! I have eaten there before, and I've greatly enjoyed everything I've eaten there.

Note: On Sundays after church, it's my understanding that the place is packed with locals.

Note 2: I grew up about 3 blocks from the restaurant, and the people from that part of town (Morningside) are really great people!

Good tasting food and great service. The place is clean and organized.

The place looks great. There were only 3 ladies working on a Sunday with full house. Slow service before even getting drinks out, and they were bottled. The food was not great! Rice was undercooked and hard, and shrimp and chicken needed flavor. I've heard good reviews about this place ,but I didn't meet expectations. Hopefully on a different day it's better.

Another good Mexican food for me, I love it. About the restaurant, out side look like a ware house but in side so wide and clean, as I walked in, there was already a big table with around 15 persons and I thought “this is good restaurant to try”. I really like Stuffed Sopaipia serve over here and I think everyone would like it the same to me.

Food was very tasty and the service was super friendly and fast!

Only complaint is the bathrooms were all in desperate need of a cleaning.
