Yes, it is the same family related to Mike Herrera at Cafe Herrera at Mockingbird Station. He would have been very proud to see this new location as his nephew, Gil Bonifaz, is the owner whom were very, very close. In fact, Mike's mother, Amelia Herrera, is the founder of all Herrera's. This restaurant has the blessing of a Herrera legacy that all should be proud to share- no matter what location that may be... Amelia is the owner's great grandmother and her daughter, Rebecca, Mike's sister, owner Gil Bonifaz' grandmother, is a part of the continual success behind the scenes. Another tid bit of info for those rest history buffs, Jimmy Herrera, owner of Herrera's Oak Cliff is the brother to Rebecca. So, the apple doesn't fall from the tree in restaurant dynasty of Tex Mex. Amelia's two surviving children, Jimmy and Rebecca, are the siblings that keep it alive and try to make their mother, Amelia, proud of what she started in the 70s. Family is and should be the critical factor that bonds the "chain" together and separates it from other Tex Mex restaurants. Because, at the end, isn't family and good food what you want when you dine at a local Tex Mex establishment? Leave the family issues or nonsense in the past. We all just want good food, not a soap opera.

Yes, it is.
