They knew half our party had to leave because the service was slower.. hubs walked out and left my completely uneaten food, they threw it out in less than 5 min knowing half our party didn’t eat it and it had been bagged from the kitchen. It’s been a long day and I normally wouldn’t complain but we paid for 4 meals and ate two.

For a restaurant operated by a hotel, I am very impressed! Before I could even walk in the service was phenomenal, they opened the door for me and immediately were ready to seat me and even allowed me to choose a preferred table location in the dining room. The dining room had lots of natural light and a nice bright aesthetic. My server, Nina was excellent through the meal and had a perfect understanding of when to and when not to be there. Both the complementary water glass and my other beverage were refilled without needing to ask. The menu has a wide range of offerings, I decided to go for the queso as an appetizer and ordered some fajitas as my main. The queso was great, it complemented the chips perfectly and the addition of the fresh pico on top added a new flavor dynamic I did not know queso was capable of. The chips seemed to be house made and were pretty good, the tajin seasoning was an interesting choice, but overall strong appetizer. They gave enough time to enjoy the appetizer before the entree came out. Fajitas were delicious, everything was fresh and the quality was on point for Omni. I felt it was a good portion size for one person and not too much which is a plus, the price of around $17 is also pretty cheap given it is closer to $20 in most restaurants now, I found it somewhat surprising being located at a very upmarket hotel, but it's nice to have some options which are both good and affordable in the Dallas area. Overall I had a wonderful lunch experience and I look forward to returning, maybe with some extra diners next time around!

Loved the salsa and carne tacos with a side of spicy margaritas!! A great place to get quick bite and a drink anytime, would recommend.

Service is terrific. Friendly and professional. I had chicken tacos and my wife had chicken enchiladas. Our grade for the food is B+. Ok, but not great. Atmosphere is fine, but can be a bit noisy from larger groups. Overall we give a grade of A-. Price was reasonable on the food, but a steep on mixed drinks.

The atmosphere was so exactly what we needed after a long day of training. The food was even better. We were so impressed we had to find out the chef’s name, Jose, is an amazing chef. The food was so impressive we went two nights in a row. Knowledgeable servers & extremely attentive. The Omni did great in hiring a great group to represent them well at Cafe Herrera!

The wait for the food was way too long for chicken fajitas. The beans could be canned beans and not fresh.
Not a place where I would visit again. The server was very nice, the hostess not friendly at all.

They are not open on Sundays

I can see why they’re only open on the weekends and I should’ve trusted the bad reviews!!

Unfortunately was the only tex-mex/Mexican food we could find nearby. My tacos had a CRUMB of cheese on them. Ridiculous!

My fiancé ordered the “queso de queso” from the menu and it was literally a cheesy roll up from Taco Bell with cheese dip on top for a ridiculous amount of $$$.

Service also sucked, only one server on a Saturday night was weird, everyone seemed to have issues with their orders, and our server passed us several times over the course of 15 minutes but never stopped to check in or bring a refill until we were done eating.

I liked Herrerra's. Food and service were both very nice. Had a small lunch of quesadillas with fajita beef. Megan was at the bar and took perfect care of me.
I arrived at a very busy time but was able to sit at the bar as a single. If you have a large group (5+) prepare for 30 minutes wait at peak times. Prices were premium given the location.
