“Interesting, varied menu and very tasty food (I particularly recommend the chicken tortilla soup). Our server was very friendly and was very careful to note down our daughter's multiple food allergies and work with the kitchen to advise us on what she could have, which was fantastic.

One niggle is that it would be great if there were more dairy-free options on the menu - one of my daughter's allergies is to milk and she felt that her choices were very limited.“

“Impressive would be an understatement to describe dinner last night at Huisache Grill in New Braunfels, TX. A family owned spot for 30 years in an old cabinet shop that is rustically decorated but comfortable. My daughter and I were seated and our server Melissa set us up with drinks while we looked over an interesting menu. It was difficult to decide BUT this place also offers some of the meat options as an add-on to their other plates. So if you want a chicken dish but crave some duck too…you can add duck as a side! I ordered the Huisache Chicken Tortilla soup and Mixed Grill while my daughter ordered from the Mix & Match Combo. Both entrees came with a side salad too. The Chicken Tortilla soup is something you would be remiss…the absolute best version of this soup I’ve ever had! The Mixed Grill had 2x beef medallions, blackened quail, skewered spicy shrimp, and poblano bacon wrapped chicken. I LOVED it all! The creamy horseradish sauce and Dijon/Merlot sauce a wonderful compliment for dipping and the sides of herbed baby potatoes and sautéed vegetable medley nicely seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Mix & Match consisted of beef medallions and the Char-broil grilled duck breast along with green beans and herbed potatoes. Again, everything delicious and the duck was very good and the char didn’t overcook the duck. We tried their GF Apple Crisp…for purists of this dish it is a dramatic flip…but in a good way of this dish. One note…only wine and beer, no cocktails available. This place has excellent service and Melissa was a pleasure to work with, while the soft music and atmosphere is so relaxing.“

“Onion Rings they were bad today. I told the waitress can you go ask the chef why the batter has fallen off all these rings. She just laughed, she came back again I asked did you ask the chef, she said she can’t talk to him. I said why does he not speak English? She said know they are busy. I said he needs to know the are just oily onions. Never even said anything not even to her manager. Like it was something strange. After a $70 bill for two people no bar tab. It all should be good or at least I’m very disappointed. I did mention it to two other wait staff one male one female he said well probably just a bad day. I told I’m not mad but this is 3-5 on Saturday and I bet it’s gonna get busier, I just like somebody to report it to the chef or who is in charge to Se if something can be done about it or see what’s going if on. For the sake of other customers.“
