I have been going to Herbert's since I was a young girl and still love going here I go to both San Marcos and New Braunfels. Enchiladas are yummy and I love the salsa !! Definitely recommend to go here wait staff is always nice and friendly and very attentive!!

I've been getting the beef flour burrito dinner since I was a kid. Love this place. Very consistent with their recipes. Also good sweet tea! Great service, friendly staff.

When in San Marcos I must come eat at a local food staple Herbert's Taco Hut. Today I had the Friday special Two flour tortilla burritos or one Fried I chose the 2 flour they were filled with seasoned ground beef covered in enchilada sauce and cheese served with a side of rice and beans. The portion was great and the sauce although a little salty this time was still quite good. The refried beans were nicely mashed and not oily and the rice was flavorful and fluffy.this special also comes with a tea for your drink for the low cost of just over $8 this place is a go to Mexican restaurant and the wait is worth it as it gets quite packed.

The food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and covered it with the house salsa, and it was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. The house salsa has a nice bite to it but isn't overly spicy. The ceiling inside is very low; tall people like me have to duck a little bit, though there is a seating area in the back with a higher ceiling that I found more comfortable. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend.

We were visiting from McKinney on a Sunday evening and dropped in around 6PM. We knew we were in for a treat when we saw locals and tourists piling in by the droves. The service we received from "Cris" was second to none. She is one of the most personable servers I've ever met in my 42 years. The restaurant was PACKED, and she treated us as if we were the only table of 8 there. The food was a true old fashioned Tex-Mex. From the guac, to the queso, to the incredible street tacos!!! We will be back... in fact, this will be my stopping place every time I head to San Antonio from McKinney. This is worth the wait!

For 42 years, these are the best enchiladas on the planet!!! So happy to get back here today and dive into a Herbert's Special Dinner! If you want the best if the best in San Marcos...and maybe in Texas, this IS the spot!!

I visited Herbert's for the first time in many years, and it's pretty much exactly how I remembered. A little hole in wall-ish with decent food. I won't say it's my favorite Tex Mex in town, but I really enjoyed the Street Tacos I ordered and it's not something I've been able to order elsewhere. Additionally, our server was fairly attentive and the food came very quickly.

Herbert, I wish I could have met you. You seemed like a cool guy who actually cared about his community, which I gathered from the history printed on your menu and all the photos and memorabilia posted across your restaurants.. smiling portraits of you and your wife interspersed with local ads, all memorialized beneath glass tabletops. It's a very cozy restaurant with low ceilings and low lighting, the rooms still aglow with strands of bright, multi-colored lights strung here and there. It's an ambiance you've experienced before in Tex-Mex restaurants, but Herbert's has been here since the 70s so it's vibe feels somehow extra genuine and festive. We started with chips and salsa, of course. They were placed before us as soon as we sat down. The chips are thin, salty, and served warm. The salsa is red, cold, and had a nice medium heat. We ordered breakfast tacos with carne guisada, eggs, and beans, and bean and cheese nachos. Lots of beans, thankfully they were delicious. The nachos were crunchy tostada shells, halved like half moons, and absolutely smothered in beans and cheese. The toppings actually slid off the chips very easily, so these nachos were extra messy. Couldn't complain on flavor, however. How could they not be delicious? The carne guisada was even better. The beef was super tender, tasty, well seasoned, and plenty saucy. The breakfast tacos were super messy as well but again we could not complain. Our waitress was kind and quick and running all over, this is a very busy place. You pay at the counter and the prices are hard to beat. Great portion size, too!
