AMAZING service, again! Something about consistency stands out, from service to every dish!!! Hands down worth the return. We had the pleasure of having Alex as our server again, and of course did a fabulous job; and as a bonus we got to chat it up with him AND the GM, Brice! You guys would be so lucky with these two absolutely my favorite spot. Always handicap accessible and accommodating. Food is phenomenal. Definitely a must try and worth coming back for. read more

The food is excellent, espresso was smooth and rich, and the staff is even better! We came for brunch, and as we were about to leave, found we had a flat tire. We had 2 dogs and an elderly woman with us, and it was so hot and humid out. Well, the staff could not have been nicer about it all. Tried to help with the tire ( missing jack) and when we found out there was more wrong and needed to wait for roadside assistance, they let our mom inside to wait, and kept me supplied with ice water for myself and the pups, turned on the fans, kept checking on us, and went out of their way to make sure we were all okay and that we had all the help we needed. Everyone was so kind! 2 thumbs up. 5 stars. All the kudos. Thanks everyone for being so accommodating! read more

Hot and bothered...but not in a good way. First off: Parker-you are a rockstar waiter. Thank you! Food and atmosphere are fantastic with a fair price tag. Location is good with fair amount of parking Hostess Staff are an absolute nightmare! We arrived to the restaurant from San Antonio at 4pm. The restaurant was empty. We asked for a table for 3 adults and 4 kids. They turned us away saying they couldn't accommodate us. They turned another family behind us away for the same reason. We had only researched this restaurant so asked the outside hostess if we could sit and only take an hour to eat. She said yes; but on the patio. She sat us in the sun. Please see the photos of the completely empty patio...that stayed that way through our entire boiling hot meal. They have a kids menu and playground...but I don't think they are wanting children in the establishment . read more

The food here is a solid 4 stars. The ambiance is solid and fun. However, we had an 8:30 p.m. reservation, but due to a mistake the restaurant openly admitted was their fault, we weren't seated until a little after 9:00. While I understand that mistakes happen, what really disappointed us was how the rest of the evening was handled. Our waitress was argumentative, unhelpful, and seemed more interested in defending the situation than providing good customer service. We never felt like our concerns were acknowledged, and there was no attempt to make things better--no apology beyond the initial admission, no offer to expedite our order, no complimentary item, and no effort to check in or ensure the rest of our experience improved. This is not an inexpensive restaurant, and with the prices they charge, I expect a much higher level of service. Unfortunately, I've honestly received friendlier and more attentive service at fast-food restaurants. We came in looking forward to a nice evening, but left disappointed. I hope management takes customer service more seriously because the overall experience fell well short of what this restaurant's reputation and pricing suggest. read more

Stopped by Saludos over the holiday weekend for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh, flavorful, and much better than we expected. The ribeye tacos were the standout. The steak was cooked perfectly, well seasoned, and paired with legit corn tortillas that really brought everything together. We also ordered the birria tacos, and they were packed with flavor and definitely worth trying. We finished with the sopapillas. They were good and a nice sweet ending to the meal, although not the best I've ever had. Overall, Saludos is a well-rounded spot with quality food and a great lunch option if you're in New Braunfels. We'd definitely come back the next time we're in town. read more

Servers are all young but they're super professional. You don't come here for portion size. You come here for flavor. I feel like it's a little pricey. I ended up paying $19 for two fish tacos and $15 for the margarita. The quality definitely shines thru and reflects why the price is a little higher. Overall I would say this is a great spot to pop in enjoy the atmosphere and have a good drink and tacos next to the river. read more

Loved it. This place is big with an outdoor kid area. Location was great, lots of parking nearby. Food was good a tad on the pricey side but guess that's what you pay for when you're so close the River. Staff was phenomenal and attentive. read more

This was a great experience! What they've done with the building is amazing- it's so beautiful! While the menu is small, the food is really good and the service is great. My husband and I shared Steak Auga Chile and Cochinita Pibil Flautas. The flautas were so delicious and full of tender meat and flavor. The Steak Agua Chile had so many flavors bursting (it's served cold). It was so good, however the more I ate it, the more the flavors became overwhelming. It was weird- it went from amazing to good. We each had the margaritas- mine the handmade margarita and his the frozen classic- both with a noticeable amount of booze in them (win!). They were delicious! For entrees I had the fish ceviche which I loved- spicy with the jalapeños but just the right flavors and amount of food with appetizers just eaten. My husband had the Enchiladas Rojas with steak. The sauce was so melty and good, but the steak would've tasted better inside instead of stacked on top. The rice and beans were top-notch. For the price, I expected a larger serving. It is also served as more of a quesadilla than enchilada. For dessert we had to try the beignet sopapillas... more beignet than sopapilla, which is not bad at all! It was to DIE for! I think we each hit euphoria consuming this. We were hesitant at first because it sounded average, but it hit the spot! Definitely a place to come and relax with drinks and apps or for dinner. Come with an open mind and you will be pleasantly surprised. read more

What a great new restaurant in downtown New Braunfels! I only have two points of criticism and one warning We sat out on the porch which was perfect for the weather the night we went. We had excellent service. I normally order an old-fashioned, but I just didn't feel like ordering one in a Mexican restaurant. Instead, I got a Dos Equis beer. It didn't taste that great to me so I asked my husband to taste it. He said it was sort of skunky and that's exactly what I thought. He said maybe it's because it wasn't quite cold enough. No big deal. My husband did get an old-fashioned and I tasted it and it was right up there with the best. We ordered the Steak Agua Chile for an appetizer. It was a beautiful plate that had Ribeye, red onion, avocado, cucumber, lime & chili pepper water marinade. it was beyond amazing and you definitely need to order it. The cucumbers on it were so good. So crisp. For me to say that about a cucumber means it was unbelievable. The ribeye was so tender and delicious. And the marinade added another layer of complex flavors. Three of us ordered the beef fajitas, and we all loved them. The meat was tender and juicy, and there was such an ample amount of meat as well. The rice is some of the best rice I have ever had and I think that's a hard thing because, basically, rice is rice But not here. It was above par. The beans were amazing and they cannot compare to any other beans. I like that they were al dente if you can understand that. I loved them. However, I did not like their tortillas. They were on the thinner side where they get hard fast. I prefer soft, somewhat fluffy tortillas that don't get hard. But with everything else being so good, it didn't matter to me about the tortillas. There were two in our party celebrating a birthday so they brought out a dessert to each of them. I thought it was sopapillas but my husband said they were beignets. They were the size of a toaster strudel with some vanilla ice cream and sprinkles on top. Again, a very basic ingredient, but the vanilla ice cream was soooo good. The beignet was amazing. You have to order it. Take my word. I did go and look at the menu and this is how they describe it.: Beignet Sopapillas Fried soft pillows of dough, tossed in cinnamon & sugar, dulce de leche $12. So I guess we both were right. I can't wait to go there again because I want to cry more. However, our meal was so darn good. I'm not sure I wanted to try anything else. Oh! The warning! The beef fajitas are served with Shishito peppers. I asked the server who brought our food out if the peppers were hot. He said maybe one in 10 will be hot. That was a really interesting answer. We have experienced peppers like that in our past. The first two shishito peppers I tasted we're not hot and we're really good. Then I had a hot one! My lips and my tongue were hot for about 10 minutes. If you can take the heat, you will love it. If you can't take the heat, but you want to gamble, go ahead and try them. read more

I went to Saludos for the first time for their weekend brunch. My boyfriend got the Chilaquiles breakfast plate, & I got the Avocado Toast, but I added poached eggs on top of it. The food is amazing delicious quality! Very flavorful! I think the whole restaurant is really cool as far as their stylish decor & color scheme: reminds me of Sedona, Arizona red rocks, which is my favorite city so far I've visited in my life. Very classy restaurant, and I loved their Bloody Mary's too!! read more

Delicious and very authentic. A bit pricey but it's great for a date night. The drinks are really good!

Fun vibe here! We sat outdoors, nice breeze blowing. Potato chips with a shake sauce were served first. Our server did an excellent job. Chose the fajitas and they were delicious with white corn tortillas. Veggies were flavorful too. I liked the beans more than the rice and the guacamole topped it off. The kids played on the playground. Really enjoyed our experience here. read more

Came during Saengerfest. It was a gorgeous day. Not a fan of restaurants with playgrounds but lucky for us, we did not sit near that area. Drinks were great: Paloma and margaritas were tasty. Service was excellent!!! Bar staff especially. Good was ok. It wasn't bad at all but wasn't amazing. Started off strong with their cochinita libil flautas which were very good. Quesabirria was meh. Consomme was missing something. Vampira tacos were good. Beef fajitas were far better than chicken. Fish tacos were fine. Nothing really stood out. Wouldn't mind coming back for drinks and apps but I'll pick somewhere else for dinner. read more

This is a fairly new place in NB. I honestly find it kind of offensive when I try "Mexican" advertised restaurants with the farthest representation of the Mexican culture. Not one single Hispanic person in sight and the weirdest (not so Mexican) explanation of the dishes. There were mixed reviews and most of the time I prefer to experience it for myself. My husband ordered the beef fajitas and I ordered the aguachiles. My dish was good. My husband got cold tortillas and he wasn't thrilled about it. Last but not least, when we first arrived, the hostess was totally rude. My husband casually mentioned it was our first time here and she just ignored him and told the other hostess where to seat us. That alone set the tone and enough reason for me to not return! The one star I give them is for the aesthetic! read more

What's the phrase? Don't judge a book by its cover? Yah aesthetically this place is gorgeous and very spacious, lots of outdoor seating as well as inside. First impressions speak volumes and immediately meeting the hostess I felt unwelcome. I mentioned it was my first time here and that the place looked beautiful I then received a blank stare and was ignored. Our waiter Parker was very gentlemanly and polite which was a nice turn around. So the service overall was 50/50. The food however was not my favorite not even close. They said they try to mimic a Mexico City style of cooking but they missed the mark, I mean I was served cold corn tortillas. I was very disappointed in the food and they were definitely over priced. I would not recommend this place to friends. read more

Amazing service and even better brunch and dinner options! Kids playground is an amazing addition to the beautiful outdoor covered seating. Dinner ambience is top notch. read more

A simple easy to read menu with an impressive selection of draft beers, but only one non-alcoholic beer available. The meat in the flautas was quite dry, so not very good. The steak appetizer was served cold--an item that I have never seen before in a Mexican restaurant in the US or in Mexico, but it was pretty good if you can handle the picante level. The service was quite good. They've taken an old office building and made it an attractive restaurant venue, but they need to invest in some shades on the west side due to the glare. We'll try again sometime. read more

Out waitress was incredible and so attentive, she shared great information about the menu and make the experience great! The amount of shrimp provided in each taco was something to note because normally it's 3 per roughly but these were stuffed. Not pictured, the margaritas were tasty and homemade with fresh ingredients! We sat on the patio and it was such a pleasant atmosphere and evening overall! read more

We arrived on valentine's day shortly after their opening. None of it was planned. We weren't sure we could get out of the house, but here we were driving downtown, and it seriously was a siren, a beaconing light as we drove by. We were like what is that?! We had planned to go elsewhere, but changed our mind spur of the moment. Maybe since they just opened, there was no wait. That said, they were pleasantly busy. It was beautiful inside. Classy retro rich vibe with interesting accents. Our waitress was superb, the best. The food was gorgeous, a work of art. Loved the anchiote shrimp, so flavorful. The enchilada sauce was tasty and complex. I don't always take pictures but that night I did. Although I'm not a huge Mexican fan, and reluctantly agreed to go there, it pleasantly surprised. Only comment is we weren't crazy about the complementary appetizer, low on my scoring since I rarely eat appetizers. One thing to note is this is high end interior Mexican. read more

This was our first time here, and although the food was good, there are areas for improvement. The sopas on the saludos Benedict were so hard, the knife would not cut them, no chips and salsa on tables during brunch, and we had to ask for drink refills multiple times. Our server was kind. It is a beautiful place, warm and welcoming. read more

Really unfortunate experience. My wife wanted to surprise me with a date night and made reservations for 5:45 p.m. on a Friday. When we arrived, we overheard the hostess say that they had given our reservation away, and we were seated at a tall table near the bar instead. It wasn't until a little after 6 p.m. that we finally had to ask a staff member who we could speak to just to place a drink order. When our server eventually approached us, there really wasn't a friendly or welcoming tone. It was basically, "What can I get you to drink?" and then she walked away. I felt horrible for my wife. She was just trying to do something nice for us and ended up feeling bad and a little embarrassed because of the unfortunate service. I honestly can't remember the last time I only tipped 18%. We're usually 20-22% tippers, but the service just wasn't there. I won't be going back, and based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend it to friends and family either read more

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the staff greets you with a smile at the door. The food definitely provides an authentic flavor to deliciously plated food. Our waiter, Parker was friendly, informative and met our needs. Oh and the house margaritas are a MUST! So refreshing, I had mine with a swirl of sangria & I don't think I've ever had one better. read more

Great atmosphere. Amazing food. I loved the Ribeye tacos. The margarita was also great.

Our waiter was fantastic. The food is also fantastic. I had the Barbacoa and the steak fajitas, and the flavors were amazing. The cocktails were excellent, and I honestly think they have the best margarita in town. The value for the experience and flavors is well worth it to me. I will be going back for sure. read more

The food quality was good. Portions were small. Service was spotty. Expect a charge for everything. Salsa? That will be $2 for the smallest of small portions. Cheese for your expensive fajitas? Another $2. Use a credit card? Yes, add 3%. Stick a fork in it. I'm done and won't be back. read more

Highly recommended!!! The food here was absolutely delicious - every bite was perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor.

We tried this new upscale Mexican restaurant on a Monday evening. The decor was nice and comfortable. There is a nice size patio area. We ate on the first floor since a member of our party has mobility issues. There is also an upstairs (which I believe to be larger, though I didn't go upstairs). Service was good, even though it was fairly busy on a Monday evening. It's nice that they are open, since many restaurants choose to close on Mondays. I shared the steak fajitas with a friend. A portion for 2 was $65, but the meat was good quality. They only brought out 3 tortillas with it, which didn't make sense for the larger portion. However, our server quickly brought more when requested. The beans and rice portions were also small for a dinner for 2. The beans were fantastic, with an extra touch of spice that brought some delicious heat. The shrimp tacos and fish tacos were nice, and I like that they are served with roasted potatoes (papas). The margaritas were good, though I'm just as happy with a cheaper version at their "sister" restaurant. Overall, it's a good place to go with friends for a more upscale Mexican experience, but I'll stick to their sister restaurant for my "go to" weekly Mexican fix. read more

Came for the first time tonight and service exceptional. Our server was very knowledgeable on the menu items and recommended our appetizer for us. We also had some alcoholic drinks that were delicious. I had the sangria and my fiancé had a margarita. They start you off with kettled chips and Valentina hot sauce- so yummy and not the regular chips and salsa. Our food came out quickly. I ordered the fish ceviche was delicious but needed a little more salt and pepper. My fiancé had the ribeye tacos that were 10/10. We will definitely be back! read more

The food hit a 10 with us. It was delicious Mexico City, the kind like Rick Byless, talks about on his show back in the day Mexico one plate at a time. Hats off to the Chef's!
