Saludos Cocina brings Mexico City flair to downtown New Braunfels
Tucked just north of the main square in downtown New Braunfels, Saludos Cocina has brought Mexican flavor to the city.
From tacos to sweet treats, the restaurant officially opened its doors to the public Feb. 2.
Saludos has taken over the historic Dittlinger building—located at 398 E. San Antonio St.—inviting patrons to savor recipes inspired by the vibrant culture of Mexico City, co-owner Israel Trevino said.
Staying local
Saludos aims to broaden the palette of the New Braunfels community and offer a taste of a culture nearby residents might not have otherwise, Trevino said.
