I ordered the lunch special chicken flautas, and what was delivered to the table was quite different than the picture - The menu pic showed one plate, 3 flautas with some queso dribbled over, guacamole, lettuce and sour cream on the side, Rice & beans What came out was 2 plates, 3 flautas smothered in Cotija, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream, no guacamole, and rice and beans on a separate plate, going cold. I am lactose intolerant, but the cream was shown on the side, and No Cotija on anything. So I had to scrap it all off and not eat any of the lettuce & tomato either as it was mixed up with the sour cream and cheese. I asked for the Guacamole and it was served, but at check out they tried to charge me for it - had to point out on the pic that it was included. read more

It was 11:30 AM and nobody was there. The restaurant was completely empty, and there was nobody to be seen employee or patron. Two minutes pass and a girl comes to the front. I tell her I have a DoorDash order to pick up. She says let me go check on that. She leaves and comes back a few minutes later saying it likes about five minutes. DoorDash doesn't send out an offer until the establishment has had time to prepare the order. Once the driver accepts the offer the order should be almost done, and by the time the driver gets there they should not have to wait, but sometimes it happens. No biggie. 10 minutes pass and I go ask the girl that's just sitting down behind the checkout counter how much longer it will be. She says let me go check on that and leaves again for a few minutes then comes back and says it likes five more minutes. They're just working on the quesadilla. I said the whole order was quesadillas any they don't even take five minutes let alone 15. she went back to the back and grabbed the order and brought it straight to me. I said thank you as she was handing me the two bags and the receipt and a very large man walked up behind her with his chest puffed out and his hands fisted to his side and said what's your name? I know they can see who the driver is on the app that is picking up the order but I am female 46 years old 5' maybe 120 pounds and he was 3x my size coming up on me like that. I said George, no idea why, first thing I thought of and jetted to the door with the order. He scared me seriously. To make matters worse, their door is broken so when I pushed it scared, and in a hurry, it swung all the way back and hit the little umbrella stand behind it. I immediately bent down to pick up the umbrella that slid to place it back up properly and that dude was right beside me and said now you're breaking sh@t? I said I apologize. I did not mean to do that and he said get out of my fu€king Restaurant and never come back and I said why because you can't get orders out on time OK and walked out the second door... Dudes body odor was horrendous as well I can see why there was no one there at lunch and every other restaurant in town is packed! read more

Nueva Era Taqueria - Mexican Near Me - Decatur, Texas

The stars are for the fajitas...and that's it. They claim on menu house-made guacamole for instance...it was the same stuff that subway serves, or similar. The menu pic lies. Next up, the chips were stale but warmed up before they were served. The charro beans? They had hot dog wieners cut up in them....I'll just leave it at that. The margarita was terrible and not even sure there was anything in it but mix. There are much better options close by. read more

Service was good. Pretty clean restrooms but they seemed to need a deep cleaning. Food was average. It was better than many Mexican food places around here. Thanks read more

Nueva Era Taqueria - 1. 2 Quesabirria Tacos rice and beans, white queso dip, and green sauce - Mexican Near Me - Decatur, Texas

This place is for anyone who does not enjoy the hot fresh flavorful food one mile away. This is for those who enjoy room temperature, greasy food. Let me start with the chips, because that's what you do in a Mexican restaurant. Old, cold and stale. We sent them back, and got chips that were more stale. Ugh! We asked the waitress if they make their own chips and her reply was that "she doesn't work in the kitchen". The salsa was the same generic salsa I've had in 1000 lower end mexican restaurants over 40 years. It did have some VERY LARGE chunks of onion added (see pics). The queso was in a large cup, and warmed, but very bland. Okay, it's just chips... let's move on. We came in for the Birria Quesa Tacos (aka brisket/ cheese tacos). Greasy and fried foods I am not afraid of (I'm actually a huge fan if you read my reviews), but I am always disappointed with puddles of grease. The yelp photos of the Birria Quesa tacos looked good, of course, we immediately noticed we didn't get the side salad with radishes (not that needed them, but consistency). The meat was dry (which is hard for stew meat), and the quesa was nada. The consume' which came out was flavorful, but it was the only warm thing on the plate. Room temperature rice and beans, and tacos. The meat was warmed, which is probably why it was dry. However, what really set us off was the music. Not that I normally pay attention, but there was a hip-hop mexican music being played which wasn't too awful. I would never consider it restaurant/ dining music, but it wasn't too distracting. Then the kids in charge changed it to some very explicit vulgar music. Someone from the kitchen ran out and made them change it, but not before my wife had already given me "that look". They went back to the loud hispanic hip-hop music, and we called for our tab. My young child does not need to go to a restaurant on a Sunday afternoon and learn those words. 1 STAR, we won't be back. read more

As a Mexican I can say I'm sad this place was not what I expected. Service was fine, the place does look like an authentic Mexican restaurant, just the food didn't taste like it. The pastor tacos came out dry and I also had steak and barbacoa and I didn't like none of them. My husband had the enchiladas and he said they were good but you can never go wrong with enchiladas... I gotta say the micheladas here are bomb!!! But I don't think I'll be back. read more

My family and I decided to try this place out after hearing about it on a local community FB page. When you walk in the door you can hear Spanish hip hop music and smell the food coming out of the kitchen. We sat down and did have to wait a bit before the waitress was able to get to us. The place was slightly busy serving the after church rush. The waitress was apologetic and friendly when she made it to our table. Chips and salsa were served asap after she came over. The salsa was delicious! Chips were thicker than what I'm used to eating. We asked for the spicier salsas and our waitress brought three more types of salsas out for us. I ordered the quesa birria tacos and I thought they were pretty good! The meat was a bit under seasoned for my preference, but once I put the cilantro and onions in the taco and dipped it into the consume' served with it the flavoring was there. We will be back to try other things on the menu as we all enjoyed what we had. Just FYI- There is a pool table in the restaurant and after our children were finished eating they asked if they could play. Our waitress informed us it's $7/hr for the pool table. There isn't any signs that stated that so it's hard to know unless you've been there before. read more

I was the only table with anyone there, so the service was excellent. Haha... I came wanting to get the quesa-birrias. But Wednesday is fajita dinner special for $10. I did the combination fajitas. The beef was good, and the chicken was just so-so. I still wish I had an idea of what their birrias tastes like. Maybe next time. Still a good experience, and you really can't beat the price on fajitas. read more

Nueva Era Taqueria - Fajita Dinner Wednesday $10 - Mexican Near Me - Decatur, Texas

We tried this place because of all the great reviews and pictures of the food. I knew right away when I went to the women's restroom to wash my hands that this was probably gonna be a bad experience. The water BARELY trickled out of the faucet, never got even slightly warm and you could tell someone filled the soap bottle with water because there was very little "soap" in it at all. I sure hope they have a better hand washing station in the back for the cook and wait staff. The waitress was very sweet and attentive and I know this is not her fault by all means so I give her a 5 star. The place overall just seemed dirty. My husband had the sour cream chicken enchiladas. He had to take the chicken out of the tortillas and eat it separately. He said the sauce tasted like something he had never had before and that was not a good thing. Chips and salsa were just ok. Charro beans were ok but nothing special. I had a flour beef taco a la carte (because of my first impression listed above). Ate half and decided it probably wasn't safe to go on. I'm all about shopping local and I really wish I didn't feel the need to post this but maybe the owner will read and take heart. I honestly do not know how this place has this rating on Facebook but don't be fooled like we were. The food looks nothing like the pics. Oh!!!! I almost forgot...The $1.00 margarita special is "you get what you pay for FOR SURE...sugar water" read more

Ate here for the first time today. I had the tacos de carne asada. My wife had the birria tacos with consume sauce. We ordered the queso to accompany the chips. They provide a complimentary chips and salsa. So here is the run down on our meals and over all experience. My tacos were great! Both the green and red sauce were good. The rice and beans were small portions considering the price per plate. The rice lacked flavor and the beans were under seasoned but had great potential. The chips were a little stale and the queso was very bland. The salsa was great. My wife did not like her birria tacos. She kept pulling out pieces of fat. We have had these same type of tacos at Maestros Tacos in Fort Worth. We liked the flavor there better. The consume wasn't as flavorful here. I did enjoy my meal and will be back to try other items on the menu. I am not sure how long they have been open so they may be working through things. So give them a try. read more

I wanted to love this place cause everyone was nice but the food was just ok. None of the dishes that came to our table, blew us away. They also were using a POS for the first time and it over charged us on " taxes" we got a refund but had WE not looked and spoke with them we would have been charged for two extra taxes. Also didn't appreciate the fact that they added a TIP on a table of 5 people ‍‍ I've never had that happen before with a normal part at a normal table. read more

A pleasant stop on the long drive from Texas back to Colorado! Food was great and service was great too!

Good Food ,and the service is really good they are quick and very friendly . And Good music.

After a friend told me about the delicious food at this place I had to try it myself. I love some good Mexican food. I was greeted by very friendly staff and promptly provided with chips and salsa. While the chips were your run of the mill restaurant chip, the salsa was packed full of flavor with just the right amount of bite to it. I ordered the asada burrito. The plate arrived with a burrito busting at the seams with rice and beans on the side. The burrito was super flavorful with tender meat. The red and green hot sauces were both tasty with a good amount of heat. With the economy being what it is recently, the prices seemed reasonable especially for the portion of food. The staff were all very friendly and provided amazing customer service. This is sure to become a new favorite to dine at. read more
