    Coffee is so good!
    Holland K.

    Loved stopping in at this authentic Mexican food restaurant for brunch. Everything was amazing - coffee, breakfast plates, fajitas, and buttermilk pancakes. All for a very reasonable price. Friends will definitely be back!

    Wife and I love Sunday mornings at the Palm Cafe, but get here before 10 to avoid Sunday after church rush. I have never been a pancake fan until I ate them here. The are light fluffy and so damn tasty that I crave them and my Sunday morning staple is the Palm breakfast. It is eggs, pappas, beans and barbacoa. And pancakes. Love the barbacoa and the pancakes. Service is always friendly, prompt and done with a smile. Love and you will too

    Soapapillas, a little on the dark side
    Daryll B.

    I was ready for more after reading fellow members' reviews of this place, and I must note that most are reviewing their breakfast. That said, this place now serves lunch and dinner. Upon arrival the waitress brought chips and salsa; the chips were thin and homemade, and the salsa was that thin red to orange type, the kind made with chile pequin peppers (think choulula hot sauce), and it was very good. Next came our appetizer, homemade nachos with bean and melted cheddar cheese topped with jalapenos. Pretty tasty. The cheese enchiladas suck according to my wife. The cheese inside the enchiladas was that canned nachos cheese. The red enchilada sauce also tasted canned. I got a combo plate with a chicken-stuffed chile relleno and a beef enchilada. The chill relleno was outstanding, which contained a deep fried poblano pepper covered with a white cheese and stuffed with their house shredded chicken. ALL THEIR CHICKEN IS SHREDDED WHITE MEAT. One note about their chicken tonight, it was watery and unseasoned, however, a little salt and a douse of their house salsa will fix it right up. The ground beef in the enchiladas was terrible, bland, unsalted, and not 100% beef (had bread crumb fillers). The service was slow and inattentive, as the young girls at night seem to just want to gossip at the register. Try the soapapilla, but mine was almost burnt tonight, and the honey was preapplied for me. That was fine for me, as I enjoy the honey, but my wife couldn't try one since she likes savory soapapillas dipped in salsa. So ask for your soapapillas without the honey already on it. They bring the honey container to the table anyway. They have lengua, barbacoa, and carne guisada. I will come for breakfast when everything is fresh and those giggling girls aren't there. One more thing: They have a weird payment system. Your server leaves your ticket at the register, then you pay. You don't get a detailed breakdown of your items till your transaction is complete. Weird. They don't let the servers handle the money, haha. Summary: Good chips, salsa, and torts. Excellent appetizer nachos Excellent chile rellenos Terrible ground beef Horrible red sauce on enchiladas and canned cheese stuffed inside Get anything with chicken Slow and inattentive wait staff

    When we go from Houston to San Antonio, we go through New Braunfels just so we can eat the migas for breakfast. They are the best in Texas.

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

    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:)

    First time dining at Herberts was tonight went simple taco dinner and the nachos with beef perfect…read morenachos. Staff very friendly didn't have to ask for anything after we ordered. Very clean, this will be on my top picks for nachos from now on. Thank you to the staff and the cooks.

    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.
