    Dry burnt chicken meat.
    Debra K.

    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?

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    I rarely take the time to review places even if I really like it. But this place I would personally…read moreappreciate people trying it out. So they will always be here now that I discovered it. It's my first time ordering from here. Breakfast tacos are my favorite food. First thing that impressed me that they serve breakfast all day. Which is rare to find but I'm great full because I work over night and wake up later afternoon. The restaurant was clean and very comfortable aesthetic, staff were welcoming. I got the Migas plate. At first was sad I couldn't add tortillas online, but don't you worry it already came with them and the green sauce was in the bag without having to ask! The green sauce can give toco deli a run for their money for sure. What I enjoy more than taco deli was it wasn't too spicy where I'm dying eating it but keep going bc it's tasty. This place has the perfect amount of heat and great flavor. I usually find my disappointed most times when ordering chips from places never seems to meet my personal expectation. I expected the same from this place but had to try in hopes. I was pleasantly surprised.These chips are the real authentic deal, homemade right amount of salt, great taste. They nailed it for sure. The taco it self was absolutely delicious. I was not expecting to be so overly satisfied. 10/10 would recommend. It's priced at 16$ or something like that but I'd pay 20+ if that's what was listed because it's well worth it. Some places just charge high because of inflation not because of quality but I think it's the opposite here you get what you pay for and more. Best 16 bucks I could spend on a meal. Check them out! I'll be back allot more than they bargained for! I think Georgetown is lucky to have this place. Thank you! - From a grateful customer

    First time here. Clean restaurant. Very friendly staff. I had nopalitos con huevos, (cactus with…read moreeggs), bacon, potatoes and refried beans. All tasted delicious but the beans seemed lukewarm at best. Their salsas are delicious with the salsa Verde packing the real heat. (Hungry Terminator voice) I'll be back...
