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.

What we received was a platter with six pieces of chicken and six pieces of steak with a handful of onions, a dollop of sour cream and a pinch of cheese. Tortillas that were hard within two minutes. I understand inflation but $52 for literally 12 pieces of meat on what you call a large platter is absolutely criminal. We don't complain much at restaurants, but we did last night. Giving two stars because the manager was very understanding and made us an entire third large fajita plate and when that one came out, it had significantly more meat on it, worthy of the $52 price tag! This place was my pregnancy craving four years ago and it has gone so downhill. The chipotle sauce, which really was the craving is now completely tasteless and has been for the past few visits. Ordering takeout from here is even worse. With 1000 Mexican restaurants in the area they could do so much better. Unfortunately, this restaurant has lost our business.

Long story short, I've now been to this location half a dozen or more times over the last several months. The service and food have been consistently good- no complaints. In all of those visits, only once have we experienced an issue, and it wasn't that huge. My friend ordered a certain sauce for his burrito but they were all out. It really wasn't that big of a deal for him, he just chose something else, but the issue prompted a table visit from the manager. Manager just wanted to apologize again for the inconvenience. I thought that was a pretty decent move. Was just there this past Wednesday, and let me tell you...of your bot ordering off their seasonal hatch green chile menu...you're missing out. I had the hatch grilled chicken...which was fantastic. The chicken was moist enough to cut with a fork alone. Do I think the fajitas are overpriced for what you get? Yes. But that's my only real gripe. Everything here seems consistent and orderly. We'll be back again in October for our monthly dinner.

Me and my boys rolled into Hebert's in New Braunfels, TX, lookin' for some grub that'd hit the spot, and I'll be damned if they didn't deliver. The food was good--solid, hearty stuff that fills a man's gut without fuss. The quesadillas were a standout, packed to the brim and cooked just right, like they knew I ain't here for no half-assed portions. The birria? Nice, rich, with that slow-cooked flavor that makes you wanna tip your hat. Enchiladas were solid too, sauced up proper and tastin' like they meant business. Now, it was hotter than a Tennessee summer out there, but they got fans on the outdoor deck keepin' things bearable. Speakin' of that deck, it's a damn fine spot to sit, kick back, and chew the fat with your crew. They even got a playground for the young'uns, which is a nice touch for keepin' the kids busy while you're diggin' into your plate. Waitress was friendly as all get-out, makin' sure we were squared away without hoverin' like some buzzard. Ain't got a single complaint--Hebert's is doin' it right. If I'm back in New Braunfels, I'll be swingin' by again, ready to carve into some more of that birria. Hell, this place might just be my kinda masterpiece. read more

today on labor day my grandmother begged me to take her to Herbert's. Since I am always taking her everywhere, my only complaint is that there is not another Herbert's in Schertz. I am just grateful that there is one in New Braunfels. The HEB is New Braunfels has a coupon that in very small letters lets you know that short orders or specials do not apply. Since i have 20/20 vision and my granfmother needsbifocals I always read the coupons for her. Service was great, food is always great, the atmosphere is great. Seems like that place is always full. I remember when that place was called Librados and the parking lot was so bare. Now if you go during luch, and if you find a parking spot, you are lucky. Seems like the same people work there since we started going. My grandma likes to flirt with the male waiters, they always like to joke with her. Sometimes we get a waitress by the name Gina and she is so friendly. My grandma loves the chalupas and she will not go anywhere unless it is Herbert's. She gets mean at other restaurants, so if we want a good mean and keep my grandma happy we drive to New Braunfels. read more

After school a couple of friends & I meet up at Herberts. This was my first time at Herberts and after all the big hype i've heard i thought i'd try it out. We have made it our hang out spot. We always run into the Unicorn staff and our friends. We were greeted very nicely the host made sure we had chips, salsa, & our drinks pretty fast. Service was excellent, actually better than I have ever had while dinning out locally. The food is excellent and all my friends say it is the best Tex Mex food. On Fridays we love to eat at Herbert's before the game. The restaurant is lite up with nothing but Unicorn fans, sometimes you will get some other teams come in and then it gets very obvious. But everyone seems happy. I love the decore at Herbert's. My little sister loves the pinatas on the ceiling. The atmosphere is really awsome. So to all my great friends for New Braunfels, thanks for making Herbert's the before the game hang out place. I am glad that I don't drink, because the bar is always full. I hear that JC makes the best margaritas, but i will stick to the delicous sweet tea.. read more

Herberts is the place to be. The staff is excellent along with the drinks at the bar. It is a place better than cheers. I have made some friends at the bar. I enjoy hanging out there when the football games are on. The hosts always bring me chips and not to mention, If they are not too busy, the staff will sit with me. It is a very comfortable place. The food is reasonably priced. I mean if I thought it was expensive, I would sound like a cheap ass, but I am not. I tip my servers well. I have no shame to the game. I have class and am not one to complain when it comes to paying, especially if I want some enchiladas (usually under 7 dollars).. My favorite part of the restaurant is when the little boys arrive. They have a personality of their own. The always get chile con queso and make a big mess. Everytime they arrive the little boys greet me by name and they always like to do a funny hand shake. There is never a dull moment at herberts, so thanks to the staff and family. Thanks for being there when I needed someone to just kill some time. read more

Herbert's opened about 3 months ago. I am a great fan of the enchiladas. They did get hit hard at the begining, service was in working progress, but give them a break. God did not have this earth built in one day. Service has improved drastically. The flow is much smoother each time we are there, which by the way we are there at least 2-3 times a week. Now that they have their liquor license, it is even better because I can sit and chill with a Dos XX. It is all good. Good job on your hard work and may God continue to bless yall...... read more
