    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

    Why has it taken my husband and I so long to try the grilled oysters divorciados?! Holy moly are…read morethey full of so many mouth bursting flavors! They were absolutely fantastic! I am definitely ordering this as a meal next time! Everything else on their menu is fantastic! I had the quesadilla this time and was surprised it's not your typical flat quesadilla. These are fried tortillas with the fixings of a quesadilla. Mouth watering, crispy and melt in your mouth meat! This place always is a great choice!

    After a fun day at Schlitterbahn, we headed to La Cosecha with the family and arrived around 7:30…read morePM. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a more polished atmosphere than I expected. We were seated quickly, and our waitress was excellent--friendly, attentive, and especially kind and accommodating with our kids throughout the entire meal. I originally wanted to order the barbacoa, but our plans changed when we tried modifying the kids' meals. We asked about adding picadillo to their bean and cheese tacos and substituting fruit for the rice and beans. We were told adding meat would be $4 per taco and fruit would be another $6, which would have more than doubled the price of the kids' meals. Rather than doing that, I ordered the one-pound fajitas with chicken and Wagyu beef so we'd have plenty of extra protein to share with the kids. The kitchen was pretty slow, but thankfully the chips were excellent and they kept them coming. The salsa was served warm with a nice amount of heat, and my oldest son absolutely loved it. In fact, the chips were apparently too good. Between the long wait and unlimited chips, my 7-year-old managed to eat enough of them that he eventually threw up. That's entirely on him--not the restaurant--but perhaps the strongest endorsement of the chips I can offer. My wife ordered the sangria swirl margarita and enjoyed it, although we were surprised by how few flavored margarita options were available. I went with a mezcal cocktail that was delicious, well balanced, and definitely wasn't shy on the alcohol. Once the fajitas finally arrived, they were excellent. The Wagyu beef came out medium rare exactly as requested, and both the beef and chicken were flavorful and well prepared. Ordering the larger portion also worked out nicely for sharing with the kids. Overall, we'd come back, although probably more readily for an adults-only dinner. The food, cocktails, atmosphere, and especially our waitress were all excellent, and the staff was genuinely kind to our children. The biggest drawback for a family meal was the lack of flexibility with the kids' menu. Some reasonably priced à la carte options or easier substitutions would make this a much better choice for families.
