My husband and I recently moved to New Braunfels from San Antonio. During our many trips back and forth bringing our belongings, we noticed the crowds during lunch and dinner at Herberts. After a particularly long day, we decided to give them a try for an early dinner. We are so glad we did! We both decided to give their enchilada plates a try. I had the cheese and my husband had the beef. Both of our dishes were great! The food came out piping hot and plentiful. Our server was very attentive, but not intrusive. She checked on us regularly and even offered to bag up our chips and salsa that we didn't finish. They seem to have a very nice outside eating area with a playground for the kids. Since it was over 100 degrees that day, we chose to sit inside. We will definitely be adding Herbert's to our list of places to go when we're craving Mexican food! read more

We went here on a limb from Landa Aquatic Park (swimming) we went because there was a kids playground. When we arrived (Sunday around 5-6pm) parking was easy and we were sat immediately. The pina colada alcohol drink was amazing ($14) On the menu there was breakfast, Mexican, burgers to choose from a very wide variety of food. I read "quickly" on the menu that with a party of 6 and up including children there's an automatic 20% gratuity, just a heads up. We ordered chicken enchiladas with Crema sauce and rice, birria tacos , steak fajitas and more. It was very good and worth the price it wasn't badly priced in my opinion the food was very good and the food was out very fast. There was mister fans keeping it cool since it was a hot day and people had dogs and children playing on the playground it was super nice in the afternoon with the lights on the trees and music playing! We will definitely be back read more

First time dining at Herberts was tonight went simple taco dinner and the nachos with beef perfect nachos. 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. read more

Herbert's in New Braunfels was such a fun and lively experience. We stopped by after a walk through Landa 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. read more

Herbert's - Two burritos - Mexican Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Delightful Mexican restaurant with both indoor and patio seating. Greeted immediately and seated quickly although restaurant was pretty full. 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! read more

Disfrutando de una tarde-noche es un patio lleno de luces, buena compañía y rica comida, ordenamos unas margaritas mi esposo y yo, tienen de varios sabores pero eso si la calidad del tequila es fuerte, el ambiente es bastante agradable y familiar. Tienen también una área para los niños en la parte del fondo, donde ellos pueden jugar mientras los padres se relajan y conversan, el ambiente muy romántico. Está ubicada en la ciudad de New Braunfels Tx read more

Herbert's is a cute authentic spot with Mexican decor and vibrant energy from their servers to the aesthetics. they start you off with complimentary chips and salsa. i ordered their brisket tacos which comes with rice + beans and a side of guac. brisket was shredded and tender. they offer both corn and flour tortillas with your meal. the Micheladas are also very good and have the perfect combo of mix / beer. this solace accommodates big groups and has great attentive service. read more

Just moved to New Braunfels and passed by Herbert's several times, have noticed the huge crowd at lunch time. We stopped in for Happy Hour and an early dinner. Happy Hour Margaritas were perfect, enchilada plate among the best, if not the best, we've ever had. High praise since wife has lived all here life in San Antonio. Service attentive but not overly so. A very authentic Mexican atmosphere. We will be visiting Herbert's often.. read more

Service was awful, food was disgusting almost had to spit it out. We arrived at 12:45 on a wednesday, very slow so should be very attentive service, we got our menus and waters from our server. After that she took our appetizer and then disappeared the rest of the time. Another server had to take our order bc our server hadn't came back for 15 minutes. She eventually came out and checked on our appetizer and that was it. When the food came out it was dropped off by another server,we had no silverware for about 5 minutes before I saw anyone to ask for some silverware. Our food was cold, mushy, bland. No one ever came around to ask how our food was or if we needed anything. Homemade tortillas were like cardboard, ordered a margarita that came with bright green salt on that rim that stained EVERYTHING including my pants. Very very disappointed don't know how they won best enchiladas la cosechas better try there pollo enchiladas ugh don't know why i branched out read more

Herbert's is a classic Mexican restaurant that features good southern TexMex. It is fantastic, fresh 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. read more

Food is great. Love their chips and salsa. Their margaritas are really good but what's bad is that they put a lot of alcohol in it and felt....a little tipsy after a short while. The server was great and explained very well the menu and their specials. Place is big and most of the time we eat/drink outdoor! read more

The food is substandard, they don't use real cheese, nearly all menu items are substandard, worst Mexican restaurant in New Braunfels or Texas for that matter. Better off just going to Taco Bell read more

We walked in on a Monday at 12:30 ish and the place wasn't to busy. We were seated right away and able to order shortly after. The weather was so cold out so thank god I got some food in me. The restaurant smelled great when we walked in so that's always a good sign. The inside of the restaurant was very colorful and they even seemed to have a small gift and goodies shop. One tiny problem we ran into was with my mom's first bite of food. There was a wrapper in her beans. It looked like a piece of wax paper from a stick of butter. Everything else was good. I'd go back for seconds read more

Herbert's - Fried Burrito Dinner - Mexican Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

To start - I called on our way over there and asked about a waitlist or reservation and they said no, but then we got there and tables said "reserved" so my mom asked and they said they do take reservations... manager came to talk to her and she said "those were made last week". So they dont take reservations the day of or what? The playground is quite rambunctious! Made my mom super nervous for my 3yo niece. Too many older kids (like10+) and some of them kept opening the gate to go out to chase a ball they threw over. Definitely a lot of stimuli so I didn't even get to enjoy the ambiance and outside because they were so nervous and freakin out the whole time. The food was ok. Fajita Taco was good and quesadillas are awesome. However, Chili gravy needs more chili pepper and flavor. Queso was ehhhh. Guac was decent. My skinny marg was carbonated a bit limey but they do make their own mix. Wasn't impressed with the house marg either. The kids quesadilla was amazing tho! Rice is dry and bland, the salsa was spicy though which was nice! So meal was not what I was expecting for the parking that's usually packed. This was our first trip, my moms been wanting to try since its always poppin there. But we probably wont return. read more

Food was alright but waitress was horrendous. We showed up with a bigger party and immediately felt like we were an inconvenience to the waitress. Very rude the whole time, like warm beer, asked to order apps and got told not yet and didn't get to order them until we ordered our food. Waitress spilt hot queso on one of our kids as well. After asking for a manger didn't get one until an hr later and waitress lied about what happen straight to the mangers face. Food was good but won't come back due to service. Had one really sweet good waitress that helped when ours was lost and her name was Mia. read more

HORRIBLE its pretty pathetic they said "fried burrito " with GROUND BEEF AND BEANS.. it was literally a frozen burrito that you get from Walmart...come on guys yall can do better than that smh shame on yall!! read more

Be aware, if you upgrade the tequila in your margarita, they automatically upgrade the triple sec, which is fantastic, however you can choose Grand Marnier or Contro and our waiter did not alert us to this. They chose for us, which was Grand Marnier, I can't stand Grand Marnier, I would've preferred the cheaper triple sec, especially since the up charge is an additional eight dollars per Margarita, basically 24 bucks a margarita. They would not switch the drinks out for us, so we did not order dinner and left. Needless to say, we will not be returning. The guacamole was terrible anyhow, $3.49 for a spoonful, and the chips were very hard and unflavorfull. read more

I grew up in San Marcos so Herbert's is a staple for most of us locals. My husband and I came here for lunch during the week. We were seated right away by a wonderful hostess. I love the decor. The location is San Marcos doesn't have quite as much room to play with so it was really nice to see all the hand carved chairs and tables and colorful decor around the place. We have driven by on a few occasions and this place seems to by busy all the time. We got lucky for our weekday lunch. The lunch specials are amazing. $8.99 for 2 beef enchiladas, rice and beans and a drink! AND a drink!!!! If you are Texan then that tea is a must! $8.99 is such a great deal! You start off with chips and salsa and get the small queso! Best cost of any Mexican or Tex-mex I've been to. I couldn't really tell you much about the menu because like I said I've been coming here (San Marcos) since I had teeth. The food tastes exactly the same as the original. Sometimes the second locations don't get it all right but New Braunfels has it right and then some. I was really impressed. Thank you for giving me that nostalgic home meal kind of feel. Also I really want to hype up that I saw a few special needs employed here. Bravo! I wish more companies would follow your lead. read more

This is a super cute spot but the food isn't good. I had the chicken enchiladas and the chicken had zero seasoning. It tastes boiled. I couldn't finish my meal. I even mentioned it to the waitress and she just said, "sorry" and handed me my check.. haha. I won't be coming back. read more

Gross cold cheese enchiladas, tried 3 times to get them to melt the cheese. How can you mess up cheese enchiladas, this place found a way! So disappointing, Won't be back. read more

It's a fun place to visit, very touristy with lots of decor and decent food. I had the Cheese Enchiladas and found them tasty and filling. I also had a margarita and it was satisfying. The service was very attentive and friendly. I would definitely be back as other items on the menu looked amazing! You will love it too! read more

Great Food, Great Service, And Environment! Nice area for the kids to play why waiting on the food.

This place has delicious food and drinks. My husband ordered the house margarita and fajitas. The beef was really well seasoned. The chicken had a little too much salt. I ordered the house mango margarita and seafood enchiladas. It was delicious. We ate out on the patio and it was beautiful. They've done a great job giving the impression that it's a private oasis even though it is located right off highway 46. Herbert's also has a playground for children to play. This is a great place to bring a family. read more

Tonight we had SUCH an amazing experience here. Kayla was our server and she was soooo sweet. This is genuinely the best service I've had here. We always have good service don't get me wrong but she is for sure the best. Not to mention too that the high chairs here are better than anywhere I have been around here lol. My son is 7 months old and the high chairs have a table for him to eat on. Had SUCH an amazing time tonight all thanks to our amazing waitress Kayla and the good vibes. Another thing I loved too is the fans are strong enough to blow the bugs away that's always a hit for us too. Also wanted to include food was absolutely amazing. My sister and I shared the botan and it was such a good amount of food. Fajitas were melt on your mouth flautas were great. Shoutout to Kayla you are amazing and I will request you every single time we come here. read more

Amazing food great help awesome to sit outside. All shaded pretty much and the food is amazing.

Not very tex mex if that is what you are looking for . Margaritas are good but over priced. Service was ok, but nothing to run back for.

I had the fajita tacos. Beef and they were delicious. Service was excellent. Chips and salsa were great. Nice casual location. Three stars because they didn't tell me there was a large up charge for lettuce, cheese and sour cream so my bill was a really big surprise. One taco is all you need to eat because they are so big. read more

Good food, great place. San Marcos staple. Busy place, so go early for parking and for big groups! read more

Table service, terrible management and the food was heated in a microwave.You could tell because of the very hot plates and it tastes like it. We had an issue with our check.And the manager did not care.They lost customers over a sweet tea. Instead, our mill came with it.And after they served us and let us finish our meals.Then, they told us we had to pay for the drinks. Plus there was spider webs in our booth.Our table was dirty.The floor was dirty and would never, ever recommend this place. They should be shut down from the health department. read more

No, no, no, who's giving the review for best enchiladas? That's so incorrect. P I ordered the enchilada plate it was so bland.

We love Herbert's!! Always a tasty lunch and yummy cocktails. Highly recommend the chalupa dinner. For drinks, I suggest the Mexican Martini. Staff is friendly and service has always been quick. The outdoor patio is great and the kids play area is an added plus. read more

Back before New Braunfels had so many options there was Herberts. They have moved across the street but they are still serving up classic Tex Mex dishes and now they have a great patio complete with a play area for the kids. The enchiladas and nachos are cheesy and delicious. You can't go wrong! Follow me on Instagram @CheatDay_SA read more

This is Mexican in Texas - as long as you're not expecting CA Mexican, you won't be disappointed. A step above chain Mexican fare and definitely good for what it is. Margaritas are off the wall though - have 2 or 3. Hospitality is what you expect in Texas - always welcoming and friendly. read more

The food was good and fun atmosphere. We sat outside under lots of shade. We will return.

The beer is cold, but it's hit or miss if the chips are stale or not. My 'biggest' complaint' is the NASTY ceiling fans with stuff flying off them into the food, I watched it happen. Not sure how that's not a health code violation.. I'm not saying just a little dusty, I'm saying greasy dirty . With the cost now days to be able to enjoy a dinner out you at least want it to be kept and clean. DO better, it's not all about the mighty profit!!!!! read more

To start off, the food was AMAZING (as always) and super fast service. The only thing messing up the rating is the waitress KAT. I've observed her on MULTIPLE occasions treating guests poorly. The first I saw was a couple weeks ago, where some lady's child accidentally spilt his lemonade. 15 minutes passed by and Kat didn't acknowledge that table nor the mess, the mother of the child had to walk up to Kat asking for a refill/ extra towels so she could clean it , where Kat proceeded to make a scene. Saying " I'm busy right now and do NOT have time for that, I'll get to you when I get to you" the mother was obviously upset by that statement so she went back to her table, Kat never went back to check on them/ refill the cup. The second instance was on Friday where kat(again) was being rude to customers. She was talking a couples order and completely messed it up, when the guests noticed they tried telling her "I think we have the wrong tables order" where Kat answered with " no. This is what y'all ordered so yall will eat it." Which in its self was not something you say to customers, but I overheard their order and they DID NOT order that at all! It wasn't even close! I will continue to use this restaurant as it is super amazing + it's close to home, but if I ever get this waitress I will be moving out of her section and request a new waitress. read more
