Came here on a Thursday for an impromptu date night and had no issue getting a table for two. A lot of the other places on wellwood usually have all kinds of events going on Thursdays, but we wanted something a bit more lowkey and Hermanas delivered the vibe we wanted. Quaint place, very homey and mellow feeling and music kept at the perfect volume. Staff was also super friendly and attentive, made the whole experience feel relaxed.
Starting with drinks we got a classic margarita and the fancy fashioned. Margarita was on the strong side, but that is no complaint coming from me! The fancy fashioned was a very refreshing and interesting take on a classic old fashioned, dare I say even a favorite?! I just might dare and I've had quite a selection of old fashioneds in my travels.
For food we decided just to split a few apps. We got the rice balls, the pupusas and an order of chips and guac. Guac was fresh and chips perfectly crunchy, plus they even refilled our chips when we got low free of charge, which was a nice and unexpected gesture. The pupusas were delicious and the sauce that it comes with is worth putting on everything (and I may or may not have done so). The real favorite though were the rice balls, who would have thought and Italian-Mexican fusion could blend together to perfectly! But it absolutely hit. My only gripe is that it is a bit pricey for the amount you get, but they at least make up for that with the great quality.
Being right on wellwood, parking can be a little tough but you can try and park along the street right in front. But I would recommend turning down one of the side streets and using the municipal lots nearby to prevent any headache.

Awesome place. Small and friendly. We sat at bar and had drinks and dinner. Good is GREAT. Custom drinks plus few craft beers. Right in heart of downtown Lindenhurst. Never been there before and I would go again and would highly recommend it.

As the weather warms, we’re trying to discover more local gems, and Hermanas can be added to that list.
The restaurant very big, but the entrance is slightly deceiving, as there’s a decent amount of seating near the bar. The atmosphere is loud due to there not being anything to dampen the sounds of the lively conversations happening all around the restaurant.
Upon being seated at a high top we were quickly greeted by our server, who gave us a rundown of the menu. I guess she was used to the loud volume and perfectly enunciated everything that she said. No need to repeat anything.
I ordered a pork taco and yuca fries and my two companions each ordered two tacos. We also ordered chips and guac to nosh on while we waited on entrees. The guac was good and the chips were nice, with a generous amount of unevenly distributed salt. The chips were devoured before we were halfway finished with the guac, but we asked for more chips and they were brought to the table, free of charge.
The tacos were juicy and flavorful. The addition of the green sauce that came with the equally delicious yuca fries, made for a nice flavor infusion on the pork taco. I heard that the shrimp taco is great, and the small amount of chicken taco that I tried was surprisingly good.
The tacos were around $6.50 each, which is on the slightly pricier side, but if you’re not starving, two tacos can do the trick.
The drinks and mocktails were great and averaged in the $10-15 range.
If you’re dining on a Friday or Saturday evening, parking might be a parking, as there’s only street parking nearby (I believe) and it fills up fast in the early evening. When we left the restaurant around nine there were several open spaces.
We will return.

This place is such a treasure. The food is clever and unique and delicious with options for everyone. The cocktails are outstanding. And the staff are friendly, patient, and efficient. It fills up so make a reservation if you can. If not, there’s always room at the bar.

What’s not to like about this place? After 2 visits I have tried a variety of food items as well as cocktails and everything is amazing. The tacos are some of the best I’ve had on the island. Each one is unique in flavor. The cocktails are well crafted and strong. Service is also fantastic.
