    a sign for el tejano mexican restaurant
    Julie G.

    El Tejano is a nice hidden gem that tons of west siders frequent. I would've never heard of El Tejano if it wasn't for my Father saying that they serve the best crispy tacos, we tried them and weren't let down! The breakfast tacos are huge and delish. The beans are questionable. I'm dying to go back for their yummy/huge tortillas. Everyone who served us was an angel! El Tejano has so much excellent food to offer, go check them out!

    This is the leaking roof where they originally tried to seat us. There is standing water all over the floor

    This is the absolute nastiest place in New Braunfels. It smells like sewer as soon as you walk inside. The ceiling was leaking water from the AC duct directly onto the tables. The linoleum on the floors is ripped up causing a hazard as you walk on the already unbalanced floor. We ordered the Menudo and it was disgusting it left an after taste of dirty water. We sent it right back and explained why and the owner was very rude to us. The owner definitely has no customer service skills and I would not recommend anyone going to this Resteraunt it is definitely not a good reflection of the good eateries we have here in New Braunfels.

    Taco Salads are my favorite here

    Paco, the manager was fantastic. So was our food and our server. I will definitely be coming back…read moreagain soon.

    One of our nephews told us about this place and said we had to try it. Today turned out that today…read morewas the day, We plugged the address into our navigator and headed to New Braunfels. When we got to the loop, the navigator showed it was still a little way to go. As we usually hop onto the loop must be the reason, we had never seen this place. The restaurant is in the back of a little shopping center. Since this was midday, the shopping center was packed. We actually had a hard time finding a parking space. We walked in and were greeted immediately. The space is much larger than it appears from outside. We were taken to our seats, and quickly had a waiter deliver water and menus. When Nicholas found out this was our first trip, he was excited to share his knowledge of his favorite things and make suggestions. While we were deciding, he brought us our chips and queso. We decided what we wanted, placed our orders, and started in on the chips, queso, and salsa. Both the queso and salsa were warm, and the chips were light and tasty. After our food was delivered, we talked with Nick some, and he suggested we come back in the evening as they had live entertainment. We enjoyed our food immensely and decided we would bring our daughter here this weekend as they are coming into town and love TexMex. Nick did a great job of keeping our glasses filled, the conversation going, and answering our questions. I can't say anything about the other waiters, buy if you get him, you will not be disappointed. Will I return? Definitely as we will be here this upcoming weekend:)

    Herbert's in New Braunfels was such a fun and lively experience. We stopped by after a walk through…read moreLanda Park and along the Comal. My poor dog actually slipped on some algae and went right into the river that day, so it was especially nice to sit outside, relax, and enjoy the unbeatable weather afterward. We went on a Saturday and the place was absolutely popping. The patio was full of families enjoying the sunshine, and the whole place had a really energetic, welcoming vibe. I brought my dog along with her travel bed, and it was nice to be able to settle in outside with her. The folks at the next table were also very sweet and asked about my dog, which added to the friendly atmosphere. Our server was very kind and attentive throughout the visit. She made sure we were doing well and checked in at just the right times. One thing I really appreciated was that she brought chips for both sides of our table. The chips were super crispy and tasted really fresh -- a great way to start the meal. I'm not usually the biggest Tex-Mex fan, but I have to say I really enjoyed my giant plate of two beef burritos. The portions were massive and the flavors were great. I ended up with so many leftovers that I ate them again for lunch on Monday and Tuesday, and they were still incredibly tasty days later. The only slightly stressful moment was that some kids were running around the patio a bit unsupervised. It made me a little nervous with my dog there because I was worried someone might accidentally step on her. She's not easily spooked, but I felt better once we moved her to the unoccupied side of the table. That said, this wasn't the restaurant's fault -- just something to be mindful of since servers are also navigating the patio with big trays of hot food. Overall, we had a great time. Friendly service, great food, and a lively patio atmosphere made for a really enjoyable visit. I'd happily come back the next time I'm in New Braunfels.

    Delightful Mexican restaurant with both indoor and patio seating. Greeted immediately and seated…read morequickly although restaurant was pretty full. Richi took care of our drinks immediately and took our orders as soon as the complimentary chips and salsa were delivered. Salsa was tasty with a bit of zest but not overly spicy, even for my husband. We got a small guacamole and it was perfect for 2 chip loving peeps. I got the chicken fajita taco salad - plenty of white meat chicken and all the expected goodies, even a side of great tasting borracha beans. Hubby got the Beef fajita fiesta bowl - so big and tasty he could only eat half! Plenty of parking. We'll be back!! Can't believe we have driven past Herbert's many times and just did not know what we were missing!
