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

One of our nephews told us about this place and said we had to try it. Today turned out that today was 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:) read more

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. read more

We recently had a "birthday lunch" for a friend here. It was absolutely great! Easy to reserve a table online, our waiter was SUPER, food was delicious, AND they brought the 'guest of honor' a sparkling dessert and sang Happy Birthday!!! Everyone had fun and I would highly recommend them! read more

Very pleased with our dining experience. My wife has the fajita enchiladas plate and I ordered the Stuffed Avocado platter. The waitress said she didn't prefer it over other dishes but I tried it anyway based on previous reviewers. I enjoyed it, pretty tasty though I think the chicken was a bit dry. The star was the street taco. Extremely tasty. I could have ordered three and been happy. The stuffed tostada was new for me but I could definitely get used to it. We both had a frozen margarita to go along with our meal and it was just right (could use a little more tequila). I wanted to try the Queso Flameado but we had already ordered the lunch queso and that would have been wasted and just plain greedy. It's a nice restaurant with nice decor but the take for two is just too small. Hardly has room for out food. If you're in the area give it a try and you won't be disappointed. read more

Service was great as usual, but food for the price has taken a nosedive. I have been getting the seafood soup for some time now, but the last 2 times it has fallen way short on quality. There was barely.any seafood in the bowl all broth. My wife's combo plate has also gotten smaller. I guess we will give them a break for a few months and try them again after the cook realizes cutting corners isn't cutting it. read more

Their fajitas are amazing I've tried them all they are so tender and the flavor I Omg. read more

I haven't had anything I don't like here. I've ordered the quesadilla and chicken chimichanga. They definitely give your moneys worth with the meat. I clean my plate every time. The chips are also really good. Fresh made, flaky, crispy and warm. read more

The BEST authentic Mexican food in town! Full stop! From the service to the delicious appetizers, the main courses were tasty and authentic, and the desserts were absolutely worth the wait. All the courses were top notch. Despite a busy Saturday night, we were seated within 15min the food came out quickly and the waitress was excellent! Will absolutely be back to this establishment. read more

We go here after church ALL. THE. TIME!! We love Las Fontanas. Amazing food all around the board. The complimentary chips and salsa are some of the best I have had. They have great happy hour specials and happy hour is all day on Sunday's. Servers are always amazing. Just a great classic family owned Mexican restaurant. read more

Everything! Ten year client. Zero issues. Best of everything but the people make the difference.

Waited a long time for a table to get sub par service and mediocre steak. We have been there multiple times and have not had the best experience. But we do love the salsa and stuffed avocados. read more

I love everything on their menu. The staff are all friendly and service is always on point.

Our favorite dinner spot! Great food, drinks, and service! Also, the happy hour deals are the best!

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! read more

Food is always good and service friendly. They have live music on occasion. It's a go-to for TexMex in New Braunfels!

Nice local Mexican restaurant with an authentic feel. From the beautiful tile flooring to the tastefully done decor, this family friendly place has much to offer. The menu has a lot to choose from, but I went there for fajitas and I was not disappointed. Lots of chicken and shrimp with plenty of rice, beans, and choice of two sides. Came out hot and sizzling. Friends had street tacos that were also great. Nice margaritas and flan to finish it off. We'll be back! read more

Do not order seafood nachos. They were chips, lots of sauce and shrimp. They had no cheese or beans. The chips were so soggy that the weren't edible. This was a pick up order. The extra side of beans with tortilla were left out. Restaurant food is very expensive and to receive an unacceptable meal should not happen read more

Went 8/16 for dinner ordered combination plate La Reyna. Three chicken quesadillas, one beef fajita taco, rice and beans. The chicken quesadillas tortillas were flimsy, paper thin, under cooked, not savory, and the chicken if it was there was mushy. $16.99 very over priced. Would not recommend! read more

A local fav that it's our regular rotation! Can't go wrong! From food to staff everything is top notch.

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

Food flavor and service is Very consistent which is rare with a Mexican restaurant these days. Their salsa is not only delicious but, also served warm along with warm chips - makes all the difference! Best tortilla soup in town and the best enchiladas! read more

Carissa at Las Fontanas is absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, she was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. Our drinks were perfect, our food came out quickly, and she checked on us just the right amount. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and takes pride in her work. She truly made our experience exceptional -- we'll definitely be asking for her again! read more

We are regular customers and always have a good experience. The food quality, friendly staff, and prices are hard to beat!

Food, margaritas, and staff are the best! They also have the best salsa and chips. Great atmosphere

Food is probably the best of all the Mexican restaurants in NB. Jared is awesome behind the bar when it comes to services and the creation of adult liabations . Isreal Sr. does an incredible job training the team to deliver great service and food. The Mexico City Margarita is amazing! The Beer a Rita is on their secret menu but it is really good! read more

Food and service have always been fantastic! We have been many times. Only disappointment was that they closed the Freihiet/clear creek store. Much closer to this old guy, but we still love you! Great Granddaughters love the fish tank and ambience is great. read more

We love Las Fontanas for happy hour, but their lunch specials are great too. Today I had the street taco lunch special, that comes with charro beans and rice (though I gave my rice to my husband). The chicken in the tacos is tender and flavorful. I love to green diablo sauce that comes with them. The charro beans are full of bacon and yummy spices. My husband had the quesadilla lunch special, which comes with refried beans and rice (though he opted for no beans). The steak was tender and the quesadilla was full and cheesy. read more

Came for lunch on a Thursday. Pretty full inside. Always a good sign. They have a big menu, so it's hard to pin point what you want to get. Elijah was our server. Service was slow. He had a lot of tables he was handling, but other than taking our food orders a long time after our drink orders, we had no issues. He was friendly and helpful. -Free chips and salsas came for the table. Warm salsa. Had a kick to it. Warm hot chips. 4/5 -Large queso. Came with fried thicker tortillas. I liked it better with the free chips. Flavorful. Very "Texan sized" 4/5 -On the rocks Haus margarita. Not strong at all. 1/5 -Mexico City margarita on the rocks. Very strong. 4/5 -Blended house strawberry margarita. Very tasty and had alcohol. 4.25/5 -Moscato. Was moscato lol -Las Fontanas burrito. Shredded chicken. Really good. Rice was terrible and flavorless. 4/5 -Veggie enchiladas. No bell peppers or mushrooms. Wish they separated vegetarian options. 4/5 -Tacos Al carbon. Beef. Meat was amazing tender and well seasoned. Rice was terrible. 4/5 -Shrimp cocktail. Very sweet and kind of ketchupy. "Texan sized" with lots of lime, it cut the sweetness. 3.5/5 -Kid's cheese quesadilla with fries. The baby seemed to enjoy it. I think this was a decent spot. The rice and beans that came with the dishes weren't good, but it just might be the Texmex style. Ours usually has salt and doesn't have corn or veggies in it. read more

Service was exceptional. Had a little mishap when ordering a to go order but management corrected it our next visit. Food was perfect.

Upon arrival I had high expectations. I saw lots of great reviews, people raving about the salsa and queso, how everything was delicious and worth the wait. Ultimately I was unimpressed and let down. We came on a Sunday evening about 5:45PM. Starting with walking in, there were 3 young adult servers all standing right in front of the door talking to each other and instead of being greeted by the host, I had to interrupt their conversation to request a table. We were hungry and ready to eat and chalked it up to kids being kids and let it go. We were impressed by the décor and colors, it looked like a fun vibe. Sunday's they have all day happy hour, so I ordered a house margarita, it was served in a beer mug, which was odd, watered down, and salty at the bottom, like the salt had slid down the mug to the base. Appetizers: Queso at first really good enjoyed it, however 15mins in it started to solidify - which is fine it's cheese it does that, however after stirring it, it now had a weird gummy texture - wouldn't recommend. Ceviche - again not impressed although the fish was fine, the texture and look threw me off a bit, and it seemed like the fish just sat in plain lime juice, the whole dish didn't come together to balance the flavors, it just didn't work. Entrees: The Al Pastor Street tacos, were good I enjoyed them. Well seasoned meat, and good amount of pico de gallo. However the side beans were overly watered down and unseasoned, the rice was still crunchy either having not been cooked all the way or it was overly fried if reheated on a skillet - either way I don't enjoy rice kernels stuck in my teeth. The Las Fontanas Burrito is their house special - this should have been really good, it was not. Filling, yes. If you were trying to fill up a teenage boy's stomach with a cheesy, greasy, beefy burrito this it. I've never had a beef burrito with added potatoes and carrots like this. It was like a shepherds pie, but in burrito form. Very misleading from the menu description, wouldn't recommend. Highlight of the night was our server, Hannah. She was wonderful, kind, continued to check on us, was quick to bring us drinks, utensils, extra napkins, boxes ect. read more

Randomly found this place while building a home on the Blanco. Love coming here. Friendly service, awesome salsa and great food. The fried avocado stuffed with beef fajita is beyond delicious, the chicken tortilla soup isn't your ordinary expectation, but it's absolutely one of the best I have tasted. Maybe someday I'll have room to try dessert. Kudos Las Fontanas, definitely among my faves in the area!!!
