Disappointed in the menu change. Food was good but it was better before with a bigger selection before the change. Also, I wish the staff would have been more mindful of 3 kids at table and I would’ve appreciated suggest moving spicy ingredients to the side. Also, rice on kids menu was spicy. This is a second visit.

Consistently the best TexMex in New Braunfels. Smoked meats, esp brisket, are a specialty and are always excellent. Elevated chiles rellenos are roasted instead of battered and fried and contain high quality ingredients such as brisket or smoked chicken. Queso, beans (both refried and charro) and margaritas are of superior quality to all others we have tried locally. Highly recommend.
