    This is my 2nd time going to El Torito, I loved everything about it, the ambiance, the cute decoration and especially the food. I had the flauta plate and my mother had Huevos rancheros. They were delicious. We went back a 2nd time, I went to the bathroom and found this (see pictures ) a sign that says " No toilet paper in the toilet" with a huge trash can in the stall, and then on the shelf a used toilet seat. !!!!! Sorry El Torito, I love you but that is nasty and reportable to the health department, which I will have to do

    Meaty consommé for the Birria tacos.

    So, this place has been here for a long time. I remember it having a huge rocking chair in front. So we were driving around, cause the restaurant we wanted to go to was closed, due to the fair. Well, we drove past quite a few places, then decided to turn around. Stopped here, and we were not disappointed. Place has plenty of seating, and the staff was very friendly. Very clean, and pretty comfy inside. We ordered our drinks, water, lemonade, and horchata. Free refills, until the third refill. We looked at the menu, and saw some normal stuff on the menu for a Mexican restaurant, but a few things stuck out. The most interesting thing for me was the barbacoa grilled cheese sandwich. So I ordered that, boy, was that good. It came with a cup of beans and a big red. My wife and daughter shared the Birria taco plate, came with two tacos and the consommé that had a lot of meat. They had to order two more tacos. So, I went to the bathrooms, which were clean by the way, but the only thing I didn't like was that all the cleaning products were out in the open, on a shelf, a kids eye level and reach. We only have grandkids, so definitely watch them kiddos when they go to the bathroom. All in all, we would go back.

    We just tried El Torito. The food was delicious and they have pozole, it was fresh and had great flavor. The iced tea taste like fresh sun tea. We had the Birria tacos and those were amazing. https://www.facebook.com/El-Torito-104850628670801/

    Delicious breakfast plate of Chilaquiles & Side of Bacon. Good coffee not watered down & weak. The inside is very clean. ( Floor & tables ) etc. Very nice people. ( Apologies for the menu photos being out of order. I can't seem to get them to upload in the proper order )

    !El Torito!

    Clear pride of place, as evidences by the thorough cleaning between customers, the spotless floors, the tidy kitchen and bathrooms. The host and hostess gave us a very warm greeting and even the cleaning staff were smiling and friendly. They appear to be well-run and a good team. He enjoyed the pork chops with eggs and thin soft warm house-made corn tortillas. I very much enjoyed the scrambled eggs with chorizo, melted cheese on top and salsa verde on the side. Lots of happy families coming in and out. Very nice place. Lovely staff.

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

    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:)

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.

    Herbert's is a classic Mexican restaurant that features good southern TexMex. It is fantastic,…read morefresh food, fresh ingredients. The taste is spot on for where we grew up in south Texas. It is perfect. Enchiladas are filled well and plates have awesome sized portions. Unlike more fancy Mexican restaurants that give you very little for a high price this place is the place to come. From the clientele , it sure looks like a local favorite. You get what you feel is a fair price for your food and you get high quality food. Wake up huge outside setting area underneath trees really beautiful inside is gorgeously decorated; lots of colors and pop. Everything's taken care of immaculately. Plus the staff is so sweet. Give Herbert's a try.
