ABOUT US
David Herrera, who immigrated to Houston from El Salvador in 1979, is the inspiration behind Grupo Herrera Restaurants. After working as a captain waiter at Anthony's, Herrera developed a passion for the restaurant industry and learned about cooking and providing a great dining experience. In 2006, Herrera and his wife Alicia, along with their sons Marvin, Ubaldo, and Dario, opened Alicia's Mexican Grille after saving for 27 years. The restaurant became popular and eventually moved to a larger location in Cypress, and then expanded to Katy, Spring, and Houston.
The Herrera family has also opened other restaurants, including Dario's Steakhouse & Seafood, Marvino's Italian Steakhouse, and Galiana's Tex Mex & Agave Bar. Each restaurant is named after a family member and serves premium meats, fresh seafood, and a large wine and cocktail list.
