Herbert's

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

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.

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.

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.

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

So came back and got the fajita plate. The beef fajita was so tender and delicious. The seasoning was perfect. We got a mixed plate and the chicken was alright. The outside had a wait and the inside was almost empty which is crazy being in Texas. My husband and I couldn't finish it so we had to take some home. The portion was perfect for two people. I would definitely be back for the beef fajitas. Much better than the enchiladas for sure.

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.

We enjoyed sitting outside. The margaritas are amazing ! I had beef fajitas nachos they were really good. Fajita meat really tender and had great flavor. The restroom's needed some cleaning . Waiter was nice.

Good breakfast and great menudo. Our server Audi is amazing. She is on top of things and goes above and beyond. We have been there for lunch too and never disappoints.
