Yet, for some reason even though it keeps shrinking in actual size and raising in price, the menu never gets updated on its length. It still claims 20 inches. That’s dishonest. You can’t claim oversight when it’s been so long.
About ten years ago I think it was closer to 16. You’d probably have to go back 13 to 15 years for the burrito to actually measure up to what is claimed in the menu. Now it is less than 14 inches. FYI, the last inch or so on one end was empty tortilla shell.
And you only get two little containers (glorified thimbles) of hot sauce with their mythical 20 inch burrito. If you ask for more, you’ll get one more of each. Why so stingy with the sauce?
I ordered a burrito and two tacos.
My wife ordered carne asada Fry’s. And two tacos.
My son ordered the fajita macho burrito.
This at this point is my most recommend Medical restaurant in Pocatello!!!
A restaurant’s staff is a direct reflection of the type of quality you can expect from their business. As restaurant staff is always evolving, so too is the quality of any restaurant. This is why I hope to return to this location in the future (for convenience sake). With that being said I hope it is clear that the reason my family and I will NOT be returning is because of the current staff at the Jefferson Ave location.
The cooks: They do alright. The quality is “pretty good” in my opinion. I’ve lived in East Idaho my entire life so I know what to expect from local “authentic” Mexican cuisine. However, my wife finding a long female hair in her fajitas really killed it for her. But me, like I said, I am a 20 year returning customer to Herradero… I told my wife it would take a lot more than a hair in a random meal to turn me off to it.
It took a month and 4 family visits to come to the decision that we won’t be back until the staffing problems are changed. The problem here isn’t the cooks (though my wife may argue that point), the problem is the hosting.
My family and I showed up one visit at 8:15pm to dine-in, but were told by the female hostess that we could not dine-in because they closed at 9 pm. That’s still 45 minutes… The next time we made it in at 7:45 pm, and she immediately acted put out, and they already had many chairs upside down on tables. The hostess stood about 10 feet away from us during our entire meal while “shushing” her babies who were screaming and crying the whole time. During our latest visit the hostess’s children were there (as they seem to be every night), and as usual she was far too distracted to properly serve a table. So she sat us down to tend to her children as a male host took our drink orders. Then a third host (but it was a cook from the kitchen) brought our food, but my order wasn’t correct so we had to wade through the language barrier to awkwardly get it corrected. All they had to do was give us a consistent host to avoid the entire issue, but the rude female host has been too busy tending to her children to serve a customer… For over a month now.
We will be back… When a new wave of competent servers take the current regime’s place.
