50 Best Mexican Restaurants in New Braunfels

“We had a table for nine after church on a Sunday so it took a while to be seated. But the wait was worth it! Wonderful atmosphere. Excellent service. Great food. We’ve never been disappointed and it remains one of our favorite places to go for the past 30 years.“

“It’s a typical fast food restaurant but their chicken and sauce bar are delicious!! There’s plenty of parking. After you place your order with the cashier, make sure to ask for containers for the sauce bar. They’ll only give it if you ask. And don’t forget the chips next to it. They won’t tell you it’s there either. The food is flavorful and different from other places.“

“We went for our first time. We were the only ones in the restaurant and service was very poor. We waited over 15 minutes for our check while the owner sat at another table chatting with someone. Food was good however the menu needs improvements. The descriptions were very vague and it didnt seem like a menu for a mexican restaurant.. And I have never been to a mexican restaurant that doesnt serve chips and salsa.“

“100% recommend!! Great made to order meals that are so good. And probably the cleanest restaurant around. Every time I notice not even a crumb on the floors. If they take the time to keep the front that clean, can expect the kitchen looks the same.“

“Outstanding food, atmosphere and service. Very attentive staff“

“Nice atmosphere and comfortable inside.“

“Great food. Fast service. Always a great meal and your drink is never allowed to go dry. Friendly staff with a laid-back casual atmosphere. Highly recommend. They close early .... don't miss out on this great breakfast/ brunch treasure.“

“I am from Austin. I got dropped off in the new Braunfels area coming from San Antonio, I was looking for a place to wait for my ride. I ordered a pastor taco and lengua taco. I loved the pastor the salsas, the tortillas were home-made, delicious! The cucumber lime water is so good! This will be my new stop anytime I travel back home from San Antonio.“

“Love the food, love the atmosphere, love the service! Always a good time coming to this location and you just can’t beat Torchy’s queso or Guac. TOP NOTCH.“

“The food is “fontastic”! Highly recommend the Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas! Been eating here for over 10 years! Great people & great service! A+“

“Excelente comida y precio“

“We love this place! We had the Plato de Quaresma on ash Wednesday and it was EXCELLENT! Authentic Mexican! Like my mom used to make. We will be back frequently!“

“I support Lupe's Tacos to go, because she is my cousin and she makes the best food ever, l will always support my Family no matter what...if anyone has ever eaten there they now what I'm talking about. I love you cousin breakfast was very good...love you from Joey and Lisa God Bless you ?❤️“

“Breakfast tacos are always delicious! Prices are very reasonable. Customer service is great - very friendly people. Their lunches look amazing! That’s what I’ll be trying on my next visit. It’s hard finding restaurants that have both - good food and friendly service, but this place has both! This is my go to place for breakfast.“

“This place is not huge dimension, wise, however, this place is huge in flavor and authenticity. If you want the most exquisite and most delicious tacos and Gorditas in America, this is your place. The freshest ingredients are used. The meat is seasoned to perfection without an over salty or over greasy feel. The vegetables are fresh. Everything is made to order. The staff is simply wonderful! You can get two freshly made fresh for six dollars. You get much more bang for the buck. If you live anywhere near New Braunfels, or if you’re just passing through to go to Austin or San Antonio, this place is right off of 35 very small location, but like I said, it is big in flavor! This should be a true bucket list place to visit.“

“We needed something to eat this morning and so we did a google search and this placed popped up. So the 4 of us agreed on breakfast so we made the drive from the hotel to here. I have to say that it is well worth it to come here for breakfast! The food was delicious, hot and fresh. We all agreed that we will definitely eat here again!“

“fresh and hot food. love that salsa bar. Great service and prices.“

“Monterrey Café is truly a prime “hole-in-the-wall” gem! My family and I stumbled upon it while driving down the highway after finding it online, and I’m so glad we did. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and made with love you can taste in every bite. The service was just as impressive, friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Sometimes the best places aren’t the big flashy restaurants, but the hidden spots like this that make you feel at home. Definitely worth the stop!“

“The people were friendly, the food came fast, and it was excellent.“

“Hubby and I just took our three small dogs here to eat. What a pleasant experience! Pet friendly out front eating! Reagan was our server and she was excellent! Sweet, knowledgeable, courteous and she checked on us often to see if we needed anything. Food was delicious! Carne guisada, enchiladas, guacamole-all top notch delicious! Margaritas are also some of the best we ever had! Fair prices! Recommend! We are from Texas, but moved to Georgia-sure Miss good Texmex!🥰“

“Delicious food 🤤, great service 👍“

“Love coming here! I try to stop by once every week or two but the food and service is always great! Priced very well too.“

“Great food for the price!“

“Had a delicious lunch with a friend today. There were only a couple of other folks dining indoors because of being surrounded by road construction! But if you want a good meal, good service, and 100% review from the Health Dept, go here! Support these folks! They’ve been hit hard by COVID and now construction! Enter from Walnut.“

“toda su comida es muy sabrosa. pero yo recomiendo los taquitos de desebrada y las enchiladas mexicanas y de desayuno los chilaquiles“

“Enchilada’s carne guisada carne a la Mexicana“

“Today, my husband and I decided to get lunch at Las Palapas at Creekside in New Braunfels, on our way to Home Depot. We were greeted quickly. We were seated in Brooklyn's section. The food was hot, drinks were cold. Food arrived quickly. We had the Enchilada verdes plate and the super bowl, with a coupon for the mama ruth flauta plate. They were good, the shredded chicken was over salted but still edible. Our server, Brook, came to take our order quickly, when we ordered we asked for our drinks with no ice. She brought out mine correctly but my husbands had a full a glass of ice. She took it back and fixed it. While we were eating, she checked on us once after bringing out our food. When we asked for our bill, we asked for the military discount. When she brought out our bill, we handed her the gift card we had along with 20.00 cash to make up the difference. When she returned she brought out two 5 dollar bills. our change was supposed to be: $10.55. When we noticed it, we asked the other waitress in the area to ask her to come back to our table. When she was called to the table for us to explain about it the other waitress in the section was still there. When Brooke was told about the fact that we wanted the 55 cents, she took an attitude about us wanting our 55 cents. Saying: they want the 55 cents? while she was standing right in front of us. We should have called the manager at that moment. The way I feel is that she took the 55 cents. She should have given us the entire amount of change per our receipt, allowing us to choose tell her to keep it. As it was we were going to give her an 11.00 tip, once we discovered the change returned to us was not correct and she displayed an attitude, we changed the amount of tip to 1.55. We have talked to the manager about this issue as well. I used to work waiting on tables, I always give good tips, and I know the work is hard and sometimes you get bad customers, however: NEVER did I not give back the full change on the receipt. In my book that would have been considered stealing from the customer.“

“We were there today loved the food as always and the service is always amazing especially your hostess. She is so friendly even when it’s so packed and crazy she’s so friendly and has a smile her face.“

“he was awesome for helping us out with the speaker thank you so much“

“Run. Don't walk. Run and get you some! My husband having lived in Egypt for a period of time was a bit hesitant to try this food because he didn't want to be disappointed, but this is real authentic Egyptian food! The price is a steal for the portion and we were literally salivating on the drive home smelling this. The owner is the nicest guy too so that's a plus. We will be visiting weekly. Thank you! ❤️“

“Excelente comida y precio“

“Love this little gem in New Braunfels-- solid quality and taste, tons of menu items including many sides and breakfast items. Staff are really friendly and helpful, and they speak Spanish in addition to English. Location is very clean and well-maintained, tables are bussed quickly, big parking lot, easy to get to. Do yourself a favor, and make this part of your dine-out rotation!“

“I've ordered the beef street tacos from this location several times now and they are consistently delicious. For some reason they are listed as taquitos on the menu (I believe it's #11) but either way there is a picture of them on the drive-thru menu so you won't get confused. Five tacos for around $11 (includes half a lime and some amazing green salsa to go with it!)“

“I just moved to New Braunfels from the Austin area. I ordered my usual two 4 item breakfast tacos. The tacos are double in size from what I am used to in Austin. It's also a sit down place with awesome service. I went early on a Sunday morning and saw 6 servers there. And they have a patio that you can bring your dog to. The food was excellent and I could tell they used fresh tortillas.“

“Their food is consistent so if you like Las palapas, this one is no different than the others. The only issue I run into is whether they're busy or dead. It takes a long time to get the attention of somebody to seat me. I usually come in alone so I don't know if they kind of glance at me and assume I'm there to pick up doordash or something like that. But I just want to sit down and eat while I'm on my lunch break. It happened on basically every occasion that I've went there, by the time I'm seated by the time my food comes I have about 5 minutes to eat and run and that's that I get an hour break. I'm a very shy and non-confrontational person so it's really hard to navigate these kind of issues. It's the job of the restaurant to take initiative and greet people and ask them what they want.“

“I’ve lived here for 10+ years and this place has never had bad customer service. Everyone smiles, the food is always good and the inside is always clean! 5 stars!“

“Recomendable!!! Muy rico 😋💕♾️🫶🏻🙏🏻“

“The staff is always friendly and the food is always good but Jesus Christ the wait. I can order food to-go way in advance and when I get there I still end up having to wait for my food. I wait for somebody to ring me up. I wait for somebody to find my food. If I'm missing the salsa I'm waiting forever for somebody to give me the salsa. Whether they look busy or not, there's a long wait before I'm seated and my food comes. But again the food here is fantastic so I'm definitely coming back LOL“

“Saturday night, dinner time. Went with wife & kids. There were several other kids in the patio area. Crowd was largely parents in the 30 to mid-40 age range. Two dudes were at the inside bar wearing navy flight suits. ... I doubt they were actual navy (hair, unshaved, and really). Thought about playing the Righteous Brothers for them. Their 10y/o kid was also sporting a flight suit and playing with a volleyball. Maybe a costume contest, but still kind of annoying. Not the restaurant's fault.

We sat outside. The high temp for the day was 93, but the area was very comfortable thanks to some large trees in adjacent properties that shaded the area. My youngest played on the playset. My oldest opted to challenge a couple other kids to jenga. Cornhole, steel darts, and dancing are also available. A band was getting ready when we left.

We were hungry. So didn't wait for the server and just went to the bar. Food was fast, fairly priced, & portions were large. Fried mushrooms were bland, but my chili was good.

-- Ding on service is due to a few minor hiccups/delays. We got a brand new waitress that was still learning, and they may need to buy an additional frier. Minor.

We had a good time. We'll be back.“

“Well all the talk about food coma is true!! Ive had my share of Nashville Hot Chicken and this was spot on. No need to fly to Nashville just fly over Wurstfest area!! Spot on!!!“

“We eat there all the time. We have never been disappointed.“

“Yummy 😋!!!! Fast service🤓“

“The food and excellent hospitality were spot on this evening. We celebrated our daughter’s TXST Graduation with family and friends and everyone enjoyed everything! Thank you Tasha and Presley for the excellent service!“

“My favorite restaurant, and I am delighted that they are finally in New Braunfels! We always order the same thing, a mini ground beef burrito, topped with queso. Yummmmmm“
