“ This is a new spot that just opened this year - right on Main Street so in a great location! I am so glad I decided to give it a shot! The food is unbelievable, very unique flavors and so inspired, I tried a ton of everything and was so happy I did. The cocktails are hand crafted and beautiful. 10/10 can’t wait to bring my friends next time! ”
“ Found this restaurant online and loved the Puerto Rican fusion in their menu. Came with my partner for our birthday celebration and had the most amazing time thanks to Jennifer! I’m Puerto Rican and loved the elevated flavors of the dishes we ordered. As an appetizer, we got the Pernil Lovers. The Asian rice added a beautiful crunch and the pork was tender and delicious. The off menu dish of the day was mofongo. We had it with steak and oh my god, the flavors went amazingly together. Jennifer was truly a gem and made our birthday dinner special. She was very knowledgeable about all of the dishes. Would highly recommend this restaurant for dinner and/or cocktails! We had the banana old fashioned, which was a great spin on your classic old fashioned, as well as the Volando Bajito. ”
“ A Culinary Gem in Fredericksburg – The Traveler’s Collection If you’re in Fredericksburg, TX, do yourself a favor and make a stop at The Traveler’s Collection. This place is a total vibe — from the eclectic seating and cozy corners to the stunning bar area, the whole atmosphere is warm, inviting, and just downright cool. Their old-fashioned inspired menu is a treat on its own, but the signature cocktails truly shine. I tried The Second Voyage, made with gin, a strawberry-infused aperitif, Italian Amaro, citrus, and egg white — and wow. It was perfectly balanced, smooth, and incredibly refreshing. They also offer an impressive wine selection that would please any enthusiast. We opted for tapas, and every dish was an absolute explosion of flavor. The duck confit spring rolls, chicken empanadas, truffle burrata, and seafood aranitas were beautifully plated and made to order with incredibly fresh ingredients. Each bite felt like a new, exciting flavor journey — you can really taste the care that goes into everything they serve. The Traveler’s Collection isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience. Between the food, drinks, atmosphere, and friendly service, it’s easily one of the best spots in Fredericksburg. Can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu! ”
“ After we sat down, the waitress brought us a sample of the plantain soup and I must say it was delicious. To drink we ordered the passion fruit lemonade, hibiscus lemonade, pineapple lemonade, regular lemonade and an old fashioned. All the drinks were great. To eat we ordered the Seafood Aranitas which came packed with seafood and it was really good. The Churrasco with mamposteado rice was delicious. The Pernil Lover was delicious as well. Its a bed of crispy rice with pork on top and they add a cilantro sauce so good! The Borica Flatbread was really good but I think the bread could be a bit thinner. The creamy mushroom risotto was delicious too. I definitely recommend this place and give it a 10/10. ”
“ Literally everything about our experience here was perfect. Our server Brandon was so sweet and knowledgeable, Andrea and Alex the owners were so friendly and made us feel so welcome. The food, the cocktails, the overall vibe and the interior design was all just so delicious. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu; ”
“ The atmosphere is so serene. The service is excellent. The food, omg, the food is incredible. An experience to savor and enjoy. ”
“ I have been wanting to try this place for a while but hadn’t made the trip to Fredericksburg, until last night. It surpassed all my expectations. The ambiance is decadent, filled with rich colors and fabrics. The atmosphere was only surpassed by the quality of the food and cocktails. Definitely the best cocktails I’ve ever had, my favorite being the Known Traveler Number. I also had the Banana Old Fashioned and my friend had the Volando Bajito and Volcano Ashes. We also had the Mini Beer Shot at the end. All of the drinks were so smooth and exceptionally crafted. We tried a number of items from the menu, but my favorites were the duck spring rolls, pernil lovers, seafood aranitas, the crispy chicken wings entree, and the mofongo. I didn’t even get pictures of everything, because I was so excited to eat it. I almost forgot about the complimentary plantain soup served as a palate cleanser...very flavorful and comforting. This restaurant is a refreshing departure from the expected German and Mexican fare that is normally found. If you’re feeling adventurous or looking for something different, I highly recommend you try The Traveler Collections. Needless to say, I can’t wait to come back with more friends to try the rest of the menu. ”
“ My boyfriend and I came to Fredericksburg for our anniversary and we're so happy we came across this absolute GEM. Boricua!!! I was drawn in by the Puerto Rican flags outside as it's rare for me to enjoy Puerto Rican food locally and didn't find out until later in the afternoon that the Travelers was a restaurant and we immediately made the choice to have our early dinner there. Everything was beyond yummy and delicious. The plantain soup was chefs kiss and the duck spring rolls with the sauce were amazing. We shared the churrasco with the passion fruit chimichurri and boy was it worth every bite. Please do yourself a favor and step out of your box and give this place a check out! We will be back for sure! ”
