THORNDALE: A Mexican restaurant with a kaleidoscopic interior

We have great Mexican restaurants here in Kennett, but we decided to try a new place last weekend up in Thorndale en route to an Irish-music concert in Coatesville (multicultural much?). It's called Casa Herrera, and it is worth the trip for the décor alone. I was told it was "colorful" inside; what an understatement THAT was! Every surface of the restaurant is brightly painted and lavishly decorated with folk art. The zombies, skulls and other Halloween decorations were just the salsa on the tacos.
The food, you ask? My dinner partner and I both had shrimp dishes, and the shrimp were large, tender and perfectly cooked. Delicious! Prices were reasonable, our sweet waitress was cheerful and efficient, and the place was doing a good business by 7:30 p.m.
Casa Herrera, which is owned and run by former mushroom worker German Herrera and his family, opened early this year at 2755 Lincoln Hwy (Business Route 30) in Thorndale.
