Server accidentally gave us hot tea instead of coffee and fixed it after we took our first few sips, I ordered huevos rancheros over med but I couldn’t eat them because the eggs were burnt and crispy. The husband’s scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly (not burnt). The service was good.

Idk who’s working the kitchen today but absolutely not. Both our meals had nasty meat in them and the portions were terrible. Food was very greasy and the meat was nearly inedible. Normally we have a decent experience here, but recently the food hasn’t been as good

I recently dined at El Tapatio restaurant in New Braunfels, TX, and I must say it was an outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and quick service. The chips and salsa were absolutely perfect, setting the stage for a delicious meal ahead. What impressed me the most was not just the tasty food but also the great value for money. The portions were generous, and every bite was flavorful. I highly recommend El Tapatio to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience in New Braunfels. Five stars all around!
And you should definitely bring some quarters to play the coin pusher game, a ton of fun! Come visit us in Michigan Fabi, thanks for making the trip memorable!

We ventured into this small town on our way to S. Padre and what a treat! First of all, the little downtown area the restaurant is in was so cute! Great place to take a stroll. Anyway, food was delicious and the servings were huge and the prices were extremely affordable! We fed a party of 10 with what we usually pay for a party of 4 at the big city where we live! I had the pozole and it was amazing! My husband had the shrimp and streak and it came out sizzling on the platter and was great. The shrimp tasted fresh. The flour tortillas are very thick but have good flavor. Out waiter was amazing as well. He made us feel very welcomed and had us laughing. We will definitely be back during another one of our road trips!

First & last time we’ll ever eat here! If I could give zero stars, I would! Firstly, the waiter didn’t understand English very well at all so it was extremely difficult to communicate. Secondly, my food was absolutely cold & undercooked, as was my husband’s! Thirdly, I asked for queso dip & got shredded cheese. Additionally, the waiter never came back to ask if everything was okay nor did he offer us any refills. I ended up not eating my food, even after complaining to the person, I assumed was the manager on duty, she just offered a weak apology & we still had to pay! We ended up getting very upset stomachs afterwards too. We should’ve known better by the mere fact that only two couples were there eating besides us. The couple behind us were also having issues with their order. Never again!

El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant is good—Mexican, yes; taste, a mix of yes and no. It’s one of those spots where it is what it is, nothing over the top but definitely worth trying. Would I return? Yes. Anything negative? Not really. In fact, it’s better than a lot of its competitors out there. Solid choice when you’re in the mood for Mexican food without the fuss.

There are several places downtown or near downtown New Braunfels. This Mexican restaurant is priced right and has consistent food offerings. Our favorite aspect of this location is that the staff is exceptionally kind and welcoming. We have always had everyone greet us and thank us for coming back. They even celebrated my work colleague’s birthday with Charro hat, singing, and dessert–without even being asked. They are such a delight. You don’t see this very often. We mostly go there on weekdays for lunch, but this same service standard is seen on weekends and late afternoons/dinners. Worth a try!

We were initially not sure of this place because so few people were eating there. But we took a chance on it. This place was great! It was clean, inviting, and the wait staff was courteous and efficient. We had a hard time deciding what to order off the huge menu that pictured most every dish. And the food did not disappoint! We had chalupas and mini tacos. Yum! And the flan for dessert was the best I’ve had in a long time! Our first time there. We will be back!
