    Cheese Enchiladas
    Jazlyn R.

    We drove in from El Campo, Tx to try the nachos and enchiladas. Service was great but slowed down at around 5:30 once people started to trail in. Lots of seating available and bar service seemed to be quick as well. Bathrooms were clean and the restaurant was well kept.

    My favorite restaurant in town. The service is amazing!! And the margaritas are the best!! Thursday & Sunday all day happy hour margs!!!!!!!!!!!

    That green salsa (verde) was BOMB! Loved it! Chips were great also!

    Ok....so love that this is a bit of a hidden gem. Luckily with great reviews from Yelp, places like Las Fontanas don't stay hidden. Originally from Texas, I definitely miss Tex-Mex. Other states can try as hard as they may and they taste good but nothing is like home. I love the bright colors and the art work on the walls. Very cute and authentic fiesta looking establishment. Our party of three walked into the place around 6pm on a Sunday. Nobody was waiting. There was not much room to wait indoor and it was really warm and uncomfortable outside. They did tell us it would be a 10-15 minute wait. Luckily, about 3 minutes later the hostess said "Never mind we have a seat for you." That was really good as I may be from Texas but I don't live here anymore and I would seriously melt if I have yo wait 15 minutes outside in that heat and humidity. Whoa...even talking about the heat got me excited about their yummy happy hour for Sunday! I don't know what it is but Texas has the best food and margaritas. Maybe it's the special water that makes up the ice or maybe the humidity attributes to that icy cold fresh lime tasting margarita cooling me off and making me smile. It could be the happy hour price also! My happy hour house margarita was $3.99!!! Did you know you can't even get a Torchy's Taco that cheap! I mean color me impressed with the happy hour prices and quality!!! My husband got the happy hour (which is all day Sunday) street tacos. He could chose from a variety but he stuck with carne Asada. I mean wow!!!! 5 street tacos for $9.99!!! That's unheard of where I live. Shoot! You really can't find deals like that in central Texas either. They had a great amount of tender, great tasting steak and topped with cilantro, onions, and queso fresco. They serve them with a green delicious and addicting salsa. It was so yum! Chips and salsa were great but we did really prefer the green salsa. We also ordered the queso. For our table of 3, we got a medium size. It was a maybe even a little too large for our table but since we don't get this quality queso everyday, we were determined to knock it out. The queso comes with these fried like tortillas. They are kind of puffy, a bit crispy and flaky, and a bit soft. They were interesting. It was like nothing I've had before but for the most part, we stuck to the traditional tortilla chips with our queso. As if you haven't noticed by now, I have so much passion for great food! My teen got the Stuffed Avocado Platter. His plate came out like a work of art. It was beautifully plated. Half an avocado stuff with steak and cheese, battered and deep fried! Delish! He loved his street taco also. The crispy stuffed tostadas was a bit different for us and kind of the same texture as the chips that accompanied the queso. We were not really excited about it. It was okay. Now for the star of the dinner!!!! Not all places are equal when they make this dish and I hate to be disappointed as it is one of my absolute favorites! The Sizzling Shrimp Amarrados was insanely good! Oh my! I didn't even pay attention to my rice and beans. I am sure they would have been delicious but the gulf coast shrimp is amazing! Then you put a fresh jalapeño slice, cheese, and wrap it in bacon and grill it! Oh my!!! My mouth waters and I want to book a flight back right now! Dang. Then....I mean it was already enough but then they go and give you a side of butter wine sauce! I mean...I'm done! I'm cooked. I could eat this for the rest of my life! Thank you so much for not disappointing! The prices were super reasonable. Awesome. You had me at happy hour margaritas but you just kept pushing that food envelope to make me crave you more and more! Wonderful job. Keep up the amazing work. Much love from Las Vegas!

    Carne asada was terrible. Meat was extremely chewy and hardly any flavor. Dr. Pepper was awful, too syrupy. Forgot my queso and beans

    Yes. The restaurant was not super loud when we were there.

    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.

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!

Friendly greeting, seated within 5 minutes and water delivered to table even before the waitress could get there. I ordered a Hatfield, a ground ribeye burger on a locally sourced fabulous bun. The combination of beef, swiss cheese, carmelized onions and a horsey sauce was outstanding! My granddaughter enjoyed a high quality mac and cheese with fries and a delightful prickly pear lemonade. My daughter went with the Road Crossing tacos and Cajun fries and raved about both items. I was impressed that a fresh tea with lime was delivered without having to request it. The waitress even asked if I wanted a 3rd glass. Hint: tip based on having lime as requested and timely refills! Dog friendly patio. They even offer entrees for your pup! Clean, modern restroom with baby changing table. Unique decor, including a bison head above the door. Great menu - plan to return to eat my way those yummy sounding choices! Full bar - the cocktail flights looked fabulous - next time!
