    Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon with some friends visiting from New York.,…read more Food: Had chips with Guacamole as an appetizer. Very good guacamole! The Costeno Campechano in Maja form (encrusted with cheese) proved to be a flavor explosion that was unique and wonderful. Flavors started with the subtle cheese crust and then the spicy costeno campechano exploded with great spice and an almost chipotle roast! Service: Good service Ambiance: industrial modern Overall cleanliness: above average Bathroom cleanliness: average

    Wow! If I could give Tacos Don Manolito 10 stars I definitely would…read more Tacos Don Manolito (TDM) are authentic Mexican tacos from the center of the country (Mexico City/Puebla region). Here in Texas we usually only get Mexican food from the north part of Mexico, which sometimes ends up just being Tex-Mex food. However if you are wondering why these tacos are different from the north of Mexico? It is all in the ingredients. TDM serves meat like longaniza and cecina that are NOT served in the northern part of the country. These items are super rare to find and even if you find them, the quality is usually pretty bad. However TDM meat quality is outstanding which makes their tacos so flavorful and delicious. For my first time visiting I decided to keep it classic and only order tacos. I got one taco de cecina, another of cecina with longaniza and one arrachera. The cecina was exactly like the one I used to have back home with my family in Mexico City. Cecina is a salty meat so I recommend using their darker salsa (I think is from chile pasilla, but might be wrong) to help offset some of the saltiness and bring out new flavours. The longaniza was also delicious and not greasy at all. However my favorite taco was the arrachera. It was so full of flavour and I could have eaten like 10 of those and live happy for the rest of my life. Last but not least, TDM is not cheap. They are using high quality ingredients which obviously means more money. So if you are looking for some cheap tacos these are must definitely not it. However I think they are worth every penny!

    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:)

    Very pleased with our dining experience. My wife has the fajita enchiladas plate and I ordered the…read moreStuffed 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.
