    Went for Valentine’s Day with a curated menu. Food was great. Unique flavors. Food was very fresh, appreciated the paired wine flight flavors. Service was very attentive. Did feel a little rushed, food came very nice quick, it was a busy night, but we went early. 2 tabletop was small for all of the courses and wine flight, would have liked a little more space and for entrees to be spaced out a little more. Would go back. Shrimp cocktail was great, enjoyed the frijoles dip, tres leches was very good!

    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.
