Our first meal at El Nyevo was pleasant. Food was better than average. Has an extensive menu and all our choices were tasty! The staff were more attentive than average despite the large number of diners! Give it a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

This is my new breakfast restaurant after church. It is consistently clean, friendly and tasty. The service is always good. The restaurant has many tables and there's enough room around the tables so one can talk comfortably without being overheard, I like that. There's plenty of room around the tables for a wheelchair and it's easy to get through the restaurant with a wheelchair, which is nice. The bathroom has railings on both sides so a person in the wheelchair can get in and out easily. There's handicapped parking right in front. My mother's in a wheelchair, so this is very helpful for me. The food is really good. The chips and salsa are great! The coffee and tea are wonderful. I just can't say enough nice things about this restaurant. I'll be back on Sunday! read more

Mhm I was expecting so much more than the experience I received during my most recent visit. When I arrived, the restaurant was almost empty, which was strange to me, given the early evening hour and past visits. This place has been jampacked, standing room only. The slogan on the wall "Andamos Al Cien" Is a great goal for the bar area, but on my visit, it fell woefully short. The house margarita was barely drinkable, although the presentation was nice, the actual beverage itself in the glass was something less desirable/drinkable. The bartender commented when I ordered my next margarita, with specific ingredients, he said that should make a much better beverage than what you had the last time. Although, It was better, it was not a a great drink, it was not well balanced, something was off. The food itself, the chicken fajita quesadillas was very average food, and I have to question the chicken fajita component. The chicken did not taste that great and it tasted and appeared to be more like a shredded chicken than a fajita chicken. The flavor just wasn't up to the standard of what I have come to know and expect from a great chicken fajita. Service itself, was OK, but nothing spectacular. The bartender did a decent job of keeping my alcoholic beverage needs filled, but my water glass did not receive the attention it deserved and I had to frequently ask for it to be refilled, when I would expect that your normal server/bartender would see that it was empty and either refill it or ask if it needed to be refilled instead of waiting for me to bring it to their attention Super friendly, bartender, and I have heard great things about their food, so I am thinking I may have just caught them on an off night and will give them another chance. If this place was jampacked like it normally is, I think my experience would have been much different. read more

Food was very good. Service was pretty good. We sat waiting to be greeted by a server for a good 7-10 minutes. It was otherwise a good experience. read more

Party up to on a Friday for a late lunch around 2:00 p.m.. We were greeted and sat immediately. It wasn't too busy. The chips and house salsa were complementary and fresh. Great flavor. We both ordered a drink, They came out within about 10 minutes. We also ordered the green sauce which is their Verde. It had really good flavor and some spice to it. I recommend asking for it. I ordered off of the lunch menu pick two mains and two sides for $11.75. So I got the hard tacos and guacamole and queso. It was good. The tacos were really big. The tacos came with lettuce tomato and cheese on the side. It was a small scoop of guac and a small side of queso. Overall the service was super friendly and attentive. The food was fresh and delicious. I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu. read more

While There was no wait to get a requested booth. The service was good. The place is VERY LOUD. The food however was very very disappointing. I ordered the flautas plate. They were not rolled, the meat was burnt, the tortillas were overcooked and so hard I couldn't cut them. They were just burned chicken meat in a burned tortilla shell. How could a chef even serve this? read more

We went in for the first time today around 4pm, it was so hot in there we just left never ordered anything. I can take a little heat but it was so muggy and uncomfortable. I gave it 4 stars because we were seated quickly and the hostess was very friendly. read more

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...

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. read more

We were there yesterday, the manager was very rude and made us feel uncomfortable; we were talking and laughing and she thought that we were drunk. The Rest of the staff was very friendly and food was ok. read more

My husband and I have started going there for our fajitas Friday! Their food is always amazing. It's more than enough for us to share.

Great place for drinks and food their salsa is fresh and tasty and chips are good a crisp great place.

The food is great Tex-Mex style. We eat there on a regular basis but the last times we were there then AC was not working and it was uncomfortable. They have used swamp coolers to try to keep the place cool but we're in the middle of summer. Owners should spend the money and fix the problem. Love the place but I will call first to be sure AC is working. read more

This restaurant makes excellent Margaritas the food is good if they would stop putting so many jalapenos in everything and the reason I will never come back is because they put American cheese over everything, manager was in the dining room the entire time I ate there I never saw him go to one table he just sat there and talked to every female server read more

This was our first time and we absolutely LOVED it! The food was delicious and a great portion. All of the servers were very attentive and the manager made sure to stop by and check in with everyone:) The food was quick and hot. The server was Miguel and manager was Jose :) everything was clean and the music was fun too! Thanks so much for this experience:) read more

It was ok. We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. They have weekday lunch specials & happy hour. We may need to try another time. My cheese enchiladas were ok. Nothing special. I liked the salsa & the chips were pretty good. It's so much brighter & open than the previous restaurant that occupied this spot. I liked the seating. Spaced out nicely & nice bright happy decor. Service was good. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Good Tex-Mex, large servings, convenient location, no complaints, would go back again.

My bro and I decided to grab lunch here and boy were we surprised! I must have passed this place 100 times without giving it a thought. The previous rest that was there years ago was less than desirable, so mentally when I drive by it there's no thought. Was a moderately packed dining room with the lunch crowd that day. They've got a full menu of Mexican food choices. The usual, tacos, burritos, enchiladas etc. Their lunch specials looked great at a decent price. I chose the beef fajita taco and chicken tortilla soup. Soooo good! Fajita was tender, and beef seasoned perfectly. They did add shredded cheese to it, which is weird in my opinion, but it was good anyway. The soup was served piping hot and was very fresh. The broth, not clear but not cloudy. A combo I love. Chips and salsas were a nice touch and the extra spicy salsa (which you have to request) had a nice bite to it as well. I'll be back El Nuevo Mexico, especially on a cold day when chicken tortilla soup is needed! read more

Well... I thought maybe after a year things would have improved a little so I wanted to give it another chance. Nope... customer service is still not good. . I can't tell you about the food because I didn't make it past the hostess stand. I go in for breakfast at 0820 (they open at 8). Asked for a booth, was told she was unable because "we are cleaning them right now" - all booths open except one.... Where a person was eating.... And no one cleaning any booths. I left. Tried to give it a chance but here we are. The customer is not always right but this was a simple request that could have been easily fulfilled but... I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

I've been coming here for a few years, and I've always had a great experience! The food is good, I get either the shrimp coctel or steak quesadillas! The table salsa is also pretty flavorful! The staff is kind and the vibe is pretty casual! I enjoy myself here! read more

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. read more

UPDATE: We decided to return to the restaurant because the food is so good and we want them to succeed. I'm very happy to report that the service issues have been resolved, and as always the food is delicious. On several return visits our servers have been very attentive and haven't missed a beat. Kudos! read more

Not the best place for breakfast for sure. Check your bags before leaving. I ordered a LARGE menudo and got a small serving, barely any meat, a couple pieces of harmony, no fixings to put on the side. TERRIBLE. Save your time and money. When I called the restaurant manager they brushed it off and asked " what do you want me to do" . Poor customer service. read more

I was staying in Georgetown and looking for great Tex-Mex. The town seems to have a great selection of Mexican food, but I really NEEDED Tex-Mex. This place was huge inside, so it would be good even on a crowded weekend-night it seems. Everything from the chips & salsa to the main dish was great. They provided the real Tex-Mex experience that I was desperately craving. read more

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 read more

When I first came to the restaurant, we were greeted and seated. We were quickly served our drinks and had chips with salsa. The place is really nice and seems instagramable due to the little set up they have where you can take pictures. The food was so good here! The ceviche was fresh and well seasoned. The caldo de res was super tasty and had a great portion of meat. The nuevos pollos was crisp, well grilled and seasoned. The pollo con crema was also very yummy and savory. Overall, I really recommend people coming to check this place out with their family. I would say just pass on the dessert here. They are not that all great. read more

While the food was decent and delicious, nothing makes me have to go here. My issues are this- two out of four orders were wrong, they did fix them but still, slow down. We had 4 adults and one child under 5, and a 20% tip was already on our bill, hike I feel that's normal for 6 adults or more, I am not a fan of that period. The atmosphere is fun but loud (didn't bother us). The tables are kind of close to each other and I wish they spread them out more for space. The alcohol drinks we ordered were delicious! The waitress was nice but was slammed so we were forgotten about multiple times and that was frustrating. I'd give them a second shot and see if Amy be we just hit a bad night. read more

El Nuevo never disappoints! The food is always fresh and full of flavor, the service is friendly and quick, and the atmosphere is welcoming.

Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I eat at El Nuevo Mexico frequently, and ate there again tonight for dinner. I don't know if the cooks are all new tonight or what, but the kitchen was sure having problems. I ordered a simple basic dinner: cheese enchiladas with chili gravy, as is listed on their menu, and Charro beans instead of refried. My hubby ordered shredded chicken enchiladas with green sauce and also Charro beans instead of refried. Our dinners came out quickly, but both of us had refried beans on our plates instead of charro beans. The gentleman that brought the dinners to our table apologized and said no problem, he would get some charro beans out to us right away. However, instead of the dinner that I ordered, he had brought out cheese enchiladas smothered in queso. Not at all what I had asked for. I pointed this out to him and he said he'd be right back with the correct order. However, when he brought out my next plate, it was shredded chicken enchiladas with green sauce. I again said that I had ordered cheese enchiladas with chili gravy. He took that plate away and after a little while, came back with my correct order. So three tries just to get a simple cheese enchilada dinner. This is the first time we've had anything happen to us like this at the at this restaurant and it was very disappointing. Thankfully it was not our first visit there or it would've been our last, We usually have excellent service, especially with our favorite waiter, Martin. (He was off tonight). Our food was very good and piping hot as usual and we enjoyed our dinners finally. However, no manager came by the table to make sure everything was all right, and we weren't even comped for any of our food or the long delay, even though it was obviously the kitchen's mistake. Most people would have been really angry about this mixup, but we just smiled and said it was OK. It was definitely not the waitress's fault, but it was definitely the kitchen's fault and this needs to be addressed. Do better, El Nuevo Mexico! read more

The best place in Georgetown! The food was delicious, the service was incredible, and the manager was so friendly and handsome. The best part was when he came over and flambéed the cheese at my table; I almost invited him to eat with me! My experience was simply wonderful, and I'm definitely going back. read more

Was excited to finally take the family to try the next Mexican restaurant In Wolf Ranch shopping center. To my dismay, the interior felt more like a cafeteria than a restaurant. It is basically a large empty space with tables and chairs. The food was okay. Won't be back except maybe for a margarita and chips at the bar someday. read more

While our service was good the ambiance and food were less than. I found the food to be extremely bland. My wife is Mexican and grew up central mexico and said it wasn't very good either. My margarita tasted very strange as if there was super old lime juice in it. I don't know but over all the food and drinks were not that good and there's no music or anything so there was a lot of awkward silence. read more

Let's get down to it. I've lived in Texas for a while here and it's always such a confusing situation when it comes to the Mexican food. They do this thing out here called Tex-Mex. It looks like Mexican food but there's nothing Mexican about it. Things like tomato sauce on chilaquiles. I don't think that this place was trying to be authentic in the first place. But don't think that this is some sort of Nuevo style Mexican cuisine. If you're looking for a Mexican food place that's never going to offend your Texas taste buds then this is the place for you. The presentation isn't great. The food was plentiful and a decent quality and the service was fine and ambience was fine. With all the options that you have when it comes to Mexican food in this town I would say don't bother coming here. And no chips and salsa for a sit-down Mexican place really?? read more
