Alfredo took great care of us as we celebrated our wedding anniversary! What a sweet guy and wonderful service with food that feels like a warm hug. Many blessings and continued success to El Nuevo Mexicano.

Had a great time at this neighborhood spot! I am only sorry I never stopped in earlier. Cesar took care of us and kept us laughing the entire meal. He recommended the Al pastor enchiladas with tomatillo sauce. They were excellent! Will definitely be back!

My friend and I got to give El Nuevo Mexicano a shot and I will say we both highly enjoyed the experience. I will say the carne asada taco dinner was legit and the vegan option was also very good! The service was great as well as the waiter checked in often to make sure we were enjoying our experience. Definitely will have to come back and try more menu items!

Stopped in for tacos and tried 6 different ones.. all were phenomenal! Mahi mahi tacos, tinga and al pastor were our favorite! Beef nachos did not disappoint. All staff were incredibly friendly! Drinks were tasty and reasonable! Will definitely be back!

I loooove their vegetarian enchiladas that come with rice and beans. I also had a margarita and it was strong the servers are so friendly and nice. Minus a screaming baby brought in by other guests it was a great experience!
