The food was excellent and ambiance electric. They had lots of fairy lights for Christmas-new year celebrations. Service was very quick in-spite of the large crowd. I would definitely go back to this place and try their enchilladas again!

"GOING OUT TO EAT" - (Feeling Better) My Lovely Wife is feeling better and I know she did not want to cook for our Tuesday Night Dinner. So, I suggested we go out to eat and chose "The Original Henry's" Mexican Restaurant. On Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday Nights they have Dinner Specials until 5pm - so that means a little early Dinner for us - but not by much. They also have Happy Hour until 6pm Tuesday through Friday - that's always good to hear. She loved the idea and we have not been there for a long time. We arrived around 4:30pm or so and were shown to a booth. Alexis is our Server and we already know what we want - a couple Happy Hour Frozen Margaritas and also one of their Dinner Specials; "Beef or Chicken Fajitas" (or mixed); Served with Refried Beans, Rice, Guacamole, Salad with Dressing & Fresh House Made Flour Tortillas (choice of Flour or Corn). We chose Mixed Fajitas (Beef & Chicken) & Flour Tortillas. We are going to share this. While we waited for our food, we enjoyed their Fresh House Made Chips & Red Salsa that has some really good flavor - and a little heat. Soon our Margaritas arrived and they are Beautifully served in a Blue Rimmed Margarita Glass. We toasted and enjoyed some Very Flavorful Margaritas. Henry's is always busy and our food arrived pretty quick - and this is another Beautiful Presentation of a lot of 'Fajitas for One' - that's why we are sharing this. There are a lot of Meat on this Platter and some mighty big pieces of Beef Strips and Chicken Breast Strips with grilled Onions & Bell Peppers. Plenty of Refried Beans and lots of Rice with a Huge Scoop of Fresh Guacamole and a lot of Salad topped off with a large slice of Tomato covered in their Dressing. The Tortillas are served on the side. All of this food for only $10 on Tuesday Nights - Such A Deal. We both grabbed a Flour Tortilla and filled them up. Mine was so Big it made a Monster Taco because I couldn't roll it up like a Burrito. My Wife loved what she had and ate a lot. Everything was Tastylicious and I couldn't agree more. The Beef is Very Tender and Nicely Seasoned with the Chicken being Juicy and Tenderlicious. The Rice and Refried Beans were very good and Love that Guac. We ate everything on the platter and we are both Stuffed - and very happy. We both agree that Henry's was a great choice and that we should come here more often. They do make Very Tasty Frozen Margaritas and on Wednesdays they are only $2 & $3 each - but they do come in different glasses. Henry's is always well decorated and I am told they did decorate for Halloween - we missed that. But, they do decorate the entire Restaurant for Christmas and it's one of the Most Beautiful places to visit - Every Room, Wall, Columns & Ceilings are covered in the Holiday Spirit - with Christmas Trees all around. This is during the entire month of December.

Even though they quit doing the daily specials after 5pm, this place is consistently delicious, and will continue to be one of my favorites! Service is always good. The new foyer is beautiful.

Even if you don't like the food here, you cannot deny they have the BEST service of pretty much any other place you could try. Right now, the whole place is decked out beautifully for Christmas and though it's super busy (as always) the wait staff are seriously attentive. I was seated at a freshly-cleaned booth and within 4 minutes I had chips and salsa on my table. I ordered water and a cup of queso and when that came, I ordered my meal (Wednesday special $8.00 for two tacos and two enchiladas - wow). My food was literally delivered piping hot to my table in under 9 minutes from the time I was seated. Tacos were stuffed full of seasoned beef and the cheese enchiladas were pretty tasty. The queso was standard. My water was refilled before I could even venture ask. They are just simply the best at customer service.

My fiancés family & I came here for appetizers and drinks yesterday (around 5pm on a Friday) before a family wedding function we had later that night. Upon arrival, we were seated immediately and without a reservation, which was nice. Inside the restaurant, it is also apparent that they have lots of indoor seating available too. Once seated, our waitress brought us chips & salsa very quickly, and promptly took our drink order too. The chips and salsa were okay, but our waitress brought us several more buckets of chips as we ate them and she was very responsive on that front. The guacamole pictured below was actually made table side for us, and we had the ability to customize what ingredients were used to make it (ex: onion, tomato, chilantro, etc). We didn't get any of the entrees on this visit, so I can't comment on that. Overall, it was a solid spot though!

Went to Henry's again yesterday. Took my sister from out of town for her first time and she loved it! Brianna was great as usual and the food was superb. Just another great visit.
