Editorial Review for Herbert's Taco Hut – by Diana Finlay
In Short
Herbert's is a hugely popular off-the-beaten path Tex-Mex restaurant that started as a takeout taco hut. The homemade architecture in the charming authentic restaurant tells the story of how it's grown. Autographed phtoos of celebrity diners ranging from Dallas Cowboys to country singers fill the walls, along with a black velvet portrait of Jesus. Herbert's Special is the most popular combination plate, featuring taco, chalupa, enchilada, rice and beans.

I guess no one around here can tell the difference between real and fake cheese, as every review of this restaurant raves about the cheese enchiladas. I ordered the cheese enchilada plate and was very dissapointed to find that the cheese on top of the enchilada and inside was fake, as in american cheese (waxy vegetable oil with cheese flavoring). The people I was with had no problem with this, but would you order a pizza covered in american cheese? No, you expect to get real cheese, which is why they started writing it on the side of the box, as fake cheese used to be prevelant. It was so bad, I had 2 bites (had to give a second chance) and gave it up. I can understand using this type of cheese for queso, but not filled in an enchilada. If you want good real enchiladas go to Los Cuccos, stringy and deliscious/real! I would love to endorse local restaurants but only if they deserve it.
Pros: Local
Cons: Really fake

This is one of the best mexican restaurants not just in san marcos but I cant find a place I like better in Austin. And it would be in my top 10 nationally. At least in the hundreds of Mexican restaurants I have been to. Try their cheese enchiladas. They are unbelievable.
