While the ambiance is casual and not upscale, diners appreciate the friendly service and the value for money. A few reviewers have noted issues with order accuracy and a perceived decrease in portion size over time, but overall, it remains a local favorite for its genuine taste of Mexico.
"I have been to a lot of Mexican restaurants and I have rarely seen taco be filled into it overflows. Now this place is a real Mexican, it makes your worth. Amazing food, good service, amd fast servicing. Again I love this place. Other Mexican restaurants need to learn from here."
Tony Sosa
"Mexican Food was delicious and worth the price. When you order a steak in other restaurants you get a little piece of meat vs this place you get what you pay for and even more. Will definitely go back and recommend to others. Keep in mind this is not a fancy looking place, small parking area too. But it’s clean and the waitresses were very nice and attentive. We also arrived around 11:30 and found plenty of seating but by noon it was pretty packed for lunch time. Another plus side is they make homemade corn and flour tortillas and they were so delicious."

"Amazing place to eat. The service was great. Atmosphere was awesome. Don’t under estimate this place because it’s next to an oil change place. Some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever tasted. Menudo was on point. And the restrooms were the cleanest I’ve been in for such a small establishment"

A Pocket Guide to the Perfect New Braunfels Day
If breakfast tacos are your thing, please (like, we beg you) do not miss out on Taqueria El Sazon Tapatio. Like most stellar taco joints, what it lacks in trendy aesthetic it more than makes up for in flavor. If upscale comfort food is more your thing, head to The Downtowner’s brunch (served till 4:00 PM!) and try the pulled pork & duck egg biscuit.
