My sister loves Henry's. I think its good as far as Tex Mex goes. Tacos are very good but the salsa has almost no spice or flavor to me. Just very tomatoey. She always get the enchiladas. They are very good but don't expect a pure red chile base like an authentic enchilada. More of a tex mex brown base.

After living here for so long we finally made it to Henry's. The parking lot is almost always packed but we are usually able to find a space. We walked in and were greeted by Ciera, we were seated immediately even though they were busy. We were brought chips and salsa, the salsa was flavorful and spicy. They took our drink and appetizer orders while we decided on what to order. The vodka lemonade was to die for and our queso was very delicious. We ordered the El capitan and the guiso burrito. The rice and beans were delicious and guiso melted in my mouth. The enchilada sauce was mild, but still very tasty. The portions are huge and I couldn't finish mine. Our waitress was helpful and attentive. I would put Henry's in my top 3 favorite Mexican restaurants in San Angelo. We will be back.

I had a great time during my first dinner at The Original Henry's. Although the large restaurant was near capacity due to the influx of spectators for the San Angelo Rodeo, they found a way to get our part of six seated quickly. We ordered appetizers and even had fresh guacamole prepared at our table. I didn't know what to order, so I took the server's suggestion of the chicken fried steak. The Original Henry's version of chicken fried steak was different than the traditional American chicken fried steak. It came plated on its own yellow gravy, which gave a unique look and feel. I also enjoyed the baked potato and broccoli as my sides. Overall, I enjoyed my visit to The Original Henry's, and I look forward to visiting again, particularly during a more relaxed time.

Daughter and I went to Henry's after an appointment. The guiso may have been the best I've had. They have a choice of the regular or spicy. I had spicy and it was the perfect amount of spice. The service was nice, attentive, but not overly so. The price was good also. Very nice dining experience.

Went for lunch. There is ample parking in the lots. We were seated upon arrival. The place is spacious and there are booth and table seating options. We were able to enjoy complimentary chips and salsa while we waited for our meal. The chips had just The right amount of crispiness. The salsa had roasted pepper flavor. It was served room temp. We added white sauce. It was creamy and flavorful. The food came out quickly. It was sizzling hot and fresh. The beans were creamy and cheesy, the rice was well flavored with a firm but done texture. The steaks were well seasoned and tender. I enjoyed the food and the service in this spacious establishment.
