Tucked into a beautifully restored 1877 building near the Comal River, Saludos brings the bold flavors and vibrant energy of Mexico City to downtown New Braunfels. The restaurant pairs antique charm with a lively atmosphere, serving shareable plates and handcrafted cocktails that feel right at home on its spacious patio.
