    Top shelf margarita, green salsa (delish) and a fully stocked bar. Service was fantastic -- thanks AMY!!
    Joel T.

    I'm officially DONE with this place. I waited 20+ minutes sitting at the bar. I got chips as FIVE employees meandered behind the bar. They waited on a couple three seats awayand made drinks for them. And all of them utterly failed to acknowledge my existence. I finally asked one of the young men employees (who was watching another man prepare a flight of margs for someone else three feet from me), "Hey, may I at least get some water here?" He gave me a half nod.... Then walked away. I guess the guy at the bar wasn't worth the 20% tip he would have added to the order. I haven't been so COMPLETELY ignored and denied in a restaurant. I don't know what happened to this place. I do know what is going to happen -- along with the loss of my patience today, they lose my endorsement, my recommendation on Yelp and by word of mouth and they lose my frequent business. I won't say what I believe the motivation for my neglect and denial of service was as others were served around me, but suffice it to say GREEN should be the only concern of any service business. And if the choice not to wait on me wasn't based upon what I think it was, there is still absolutely no good reason for intentionally ignoring and driving a customer away. After years of business... Adíos, Nuevo Mexico

    Horchata

    I would say this place is the rival of Marisol's for the top Mexican restaurant in Georgetown. I don't give out four or five stars freely for Mexican restaurants. I've decided this place is deserving of 3.5 stars, which I deem as "decent, safe choice", considering the location. Pros? Guacamole has generous amount of avocado and not riddled with tomato and onion. Carne asada, mole, and pastor are the sure fire hits. The Cancun drink is so tasty! They have horchata. Cons: salsa selection leaves so much to be desired. It really makes them appear inauthentic, even for Tex-Mex. Hesitant to get breakfast tacos from them due to non-existence of green spicy salsa, or red spicy salsa (árbol), or a black molcajete salsa. All they have is jalapeño ranch and a very salty green salsa. For their chips, the red salsa is good, I hope they continue to purée it more like it was at this visit because I don't like when it's too chunky.

    We were in town to visit family and decided to stop for a bite after coming from the airport. Because my cousin and I love to try new Mexican places we decided to stop into El Nuevo Mexico. To our surprise there was no wait and we lived that it was a bigger Mexican Restaurant with plenty of room. We were immediately sat at our table and greeted by our server. I always ask for suggestions, so our server pointed us to the taco salads which was plenty to eat. I loved that I didn't feel overly stuff once done and it was a good portion of each topping so that one didn't over power the other. The elote was warm and tasty, so tasty that I was excited to have some left over to take with us and munch on the next day !! The queso was real cheese just in case you're wondering. Wishing I'd ordered a bigger size however I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to finish it. My cousin's review of the steak was that it was cut thin which was super nice, helped with it's tenderness. Easy to eat and very flavorful. There was enough for left overs which she enjoyed the next day. We'd certainly stop in again when in Austin next time. Plan to try some other menu items when we do, to see if they are just as good and tasty.

    I went here for lunch today. Upon entering the restaurant, the hostess was very kind and seated us is it right away. We were promptly given drinks and menus, I got a Topo Chico, I love those. We were also given chips and salsa, the chips were fresh and crisp. The salsa was very good. we ordered a large guacamole. The service was very good. We were never looking for our server, she provided every need we had. Our food was great. I got a chicken dish and my husband got enchiladas. There is one thing that people should be aware of, and that is that they do not give free refills on the Arnold Palmer's. They are 3.25 each. I'm really glad I tried this restaurant today, I will definitely be back!

    Part of the menu!

    The seating was IMMEDIATE at around 11:45AM, our Waiter got our drinks, we looked over the menu, dabbled a bit about the protein choices with him, +I had a Great Time with my Very First Friend in Georgetown! The Food was sooo delicious, I took half of it home! (I think, the Delicious Chips+Dip made it impossible to finish!) The Ambiance was quite mellow for a Saturday afternoon! We were even able to choose our table. I would DEFINITELY come back, again, during these hours!

    Shrimp Fajaita for one
    Courtney B.

    I came into this establishment last week for a take-out order for lunch. The establishment was fairly empty when I came in so I was expecting a quick turn-around. Shrimp Fajitas Fajitas are a quick but incredibly tasty meal that are perfect for dinner any night or lunch! There's nothing better than a delicious shrimp dish to commemorate warmer weather. That's why I just had to order these. The shrimp for this dish were tender and flavorful but were limited in number (7 in total). The price point for this dish is $23.00, and while not an eye- popping figure, for the amount of shrimp received, the price should reflect that. The fresh flour tortillas that accompanied this dish were nicely done. The order took about twenty minutes to be made and packaged to-go. Based upon this meal pick-up, this establishment may be worth a return visit.

    Giant taco which is part of the combo plate

    Ordered the queso especial ($11.50), the combo plate ($15.50) to share and a jumbo margarita ($14.00). My server Miguel was very friendly and our food came out hot and fresh. The background music was great and the bar area was also a great place to sit and enjoy out meal

    Flour tortillas

    The experience here isn't what I expected in Georgetown. We have a number of options for authentic Mexican here. I prefer dining here because the restaurant is spacious, open, clean, bright, and well staffed. The food here also surprises me. The menu features several dishes that I always look for when trying out New Mexican restaurants. I often wonder, "would mother approve?" The menudo is a bit lacking - I feel they could present it better. But everything else has been on point. Their version of a chile relleno, al pastor gorditas, and steak fajitas... all great flavors and right sized portions. Their tortillas are homemade and are light and fluffy. The beverages are great, too. Try their margaritas!

I had a chicken salad sandwich, which was served on a croissant, and a cup of broccoli cheese soup. The chicken salad was wonderful, but the croissant was dry. The soup was very good. My friend had a grilled cheese sandwich and a salad. Her sandwich was loaded with cheese. The baked goods at the counter looked scrumptious, but we did not partake.
