Birria Haus, a new restaurant in downtown New Braunfels, has quickly become a local favorite for its slow-braised birria beef, served in classic street tacos as well as creative ramen bowls. Owner Eduardo Hernandez blends traditional birria techniques with modern twists, drawing crowds for takeout and counter orders along the historic downtown stretch.

Why it matters

Birria Haus is part of a broader upswing in New Braunfels' food scene, where smaller vendors like food trucks and compact kitchens are filling daytime and late-night niches and giving residents more affordable, carryout-friendly dining options in the city center.

The details

Birria Haus serves slow-braised birria beef built on a traditional, hours-long braising technique, with the owner adding a few personal flavor touches. The classic birria street tacos are priced at about $14.99, while brisket birria ramen bowls are listed at roughly $12. The menu also includes street quesadillas, tacos al pastor, and customizable ramen bowls that trade consommé for a spicy birria broth.

  • Birria Haus opened in 2024.
