    On this days adventure I find myself at "Butcher Boy Taco". Where do I begin, first off the parking situation is a bit tricky but once you find a spot you walk in and notice a Spanish Retro Decor and a good amount of seating and a few at the bar area. But the main attraction to this place is no doubt the food. Once you walk in and reach the counter you are kindly greeted and the fun begins. The menu is there and you make your selection. They have a good variety of different options to choose from. Today I chose two tacos, one the Chorizo and Egg and the other one was the "Goldie" which is a Bacon, Egg and Cheese. The chorizo was delicious, just the right amount of spicy but add a little extra salsa and it elevates the flavor. The Goldie was equally delicious, bacon crispy overall it was very good. So if you are looking for some wonderful Mexican food this place should be on your radar.

    Taco salad minus the tomatoes and guacamole

    They have one of the better priced lunch specials daily that include a tea. Today they had the taco salad and it was great!!! I took it to go today and they give it to you wrapped in foil so you have to be careful that it doesn't break. They do tell you that though so it's not a surprise. Parking is really really limited, they have maybe 5 spots in front so you'll have to park on the street. The staff is always friendly and they have a really great vibe. I also grabbed a slice of cake from a local bakery because it looked so good!

    Enchilada combo with carne guisada!

    Where to start.... Chips and salsa - great Service - Mari - fantastic Enchiladas - incredible Carne guisada - on point Tortillas - homemade...delicious Refried beans - heaven sent We will be back - you should try this place if you haven't!

    Crazy good (and spicy!) chips
    Jen S.

    Amazing chips, so puffy and spicy with pepper, great with their house salsa! Stopped on a road trip in this regular 'ol divey diner, full of locals (clearly) & nice servers. Wanted a quick breakfast taco-- left STUFFED for the day! Super inexpensive and delicious grub. Recommend

    Menudo and Barbacoa taco with avacado! My usual order. Everything here is amazing and always on point. We sit outside usually we have our dog. The wait staff are kind and bring the food outside to us. They are always smiling and happy to be there! Maybe that's why the food is soooo good! I highly recommend this place for authentic Mexican food in New Braunfels.

    Great Restaurant For ANY Appetite. They've got it all and then some. The staff and owners are all the greatest down to earth people. Food is made fresh per order and you're NEVER disappointed with your servings or what you ordered. THE BEST BREAKFAST TACOS IN NB, Hands Down!

    Bacon egg and cheese.

    If you're looking for quality breakfast tacos that are worth it, these are it. The chorizo and egg was perfect. I also asked for a bacon strip, egg and cheese and they put 3 crispy strips. They are for sure bigger tacos, so you won't be disappointed with the size. Service was great and seems to be ran very well and is cozy place to eat a breakfast. I didn't think about leaving a review until I ate the entire chorizo and egg taco, which is why it is not pictured. Hahaha!

    Favorite plate!
    Cheryl S.

    We absolutely love the beef enchiladas and I think they have the best Carne gusada. Best chips and salsa with no up charge. Service is great too!

    First of all I will say you should anticipate to wait a while for food. That being said the food is worth it. We come here for breakfast tacos and are never disappointed with anything. The inside is a little cheesy but the service is always great.

Restrooms are spacious and clean. Guacamole is served plentiful and with fresh, crispy chips in a nice wire basket with parchment type paper to absorb oil. Salted just right, the guacamole is served in a molcajete with a garnish of peeled grapes on a small vine. Those grapes had great flavor as well. The lunch specials were decent and we had a couple drinks which were tasty and visually appealing as well. I ordered the Enchiladas and to my surprise, when they were served, they were hot and cheesy. Took my first bite and was transported back to childhood, sitting at my abuela's mesa the surprise was pleasant and tugged at my heart strings. The plate comes with cilantro rice with a green color which was weird to me but very tasty. The beans were refried and had a great taste as well. We didn't get any tortillas so not sure that they serve them here. As the manager came around, I had to let him know that I was so pleasantly impressed at the transportation back to childhood. He verbalized his contentment at my experience when I simply came to celebrate my friend's birthday. Definitely will be back here again. 'lol

I also ordered the Mexican Benedict. The presentation was beautiful but the combination of ingredients made it a flavorful and balanced combination of deliciousness. The cornmeal pancake combined with the tomato jam and the spiced up hollandaise sauce over the slow cooked tender pork truly elevated the flavor on this Mexican spin on eggs benedict. Our server was attentive and helpful with re compensations as it was our first visit to the restaurant. The dining area is large with ample seating and beautiful elevated Mexican decor. I'm so glad I finally got off of 35 to try this restaurant after years of driving by.

After a particularly long day, we decided to give them a try for an early dinner. We are so glad we did! We both decided to give their enchilada plates a try. I had the cheese and my husband had the beef. Both of our dishes were great! The food came out piping hot and plentiful. Our server was very attentive, but not intrusive. She checked on us regularly and even offered to bag up our chips and salsa that we didn't finish. They seem to have a very nice outside eating area with a playground for the kids. Since it was over 100 degrees that day, we chose to sit inside. We will definitely be adding Herbert's to our list of places to go when we're craving Mexican food!

There was mister fans keeping it cool since it was a hot day and people had dogs and children playing on the playground it was super nice in the afternoon with the lights on the trees and music playing! We will definitely be back

Additionally, Cantina del Rio advertising they have the "best margarita" made it all the worse that not only was it not the "best" or subpar, it was so bad half of us couldn't finish ours. And since I am being honest, locals warned me not to go to Cantina del Rio for the food, but the drinks were good. Taking that in consideration we have consistently avoided it until today, when all we wanted was a drink after a day in the river. I wish I could say at least the views were good, but after asking the hostess to sit us at the best seats in the house (it was late afternoon on a Tuesday so it was not an unfair request), we were sat outside to see the construction. No "rio". Not even a glimpse. I have to say we snacked on chips and salsa and queso and they were better than the drinks. It's such a cute spot and so disappointing that the margaritas were the "worst".
